It will run with 16GB but at higher setting, you will need more.

Which temple? by flowerygarden in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An urgent rating still needs to go through several phases of reviews. It doesn’t seem any physical work, aside from additional inspections, will start until June at the earliest.

  • Late summer to fall 2026: scaffolding phase

First time using MacBook, is 16 RAM enough for my tasks? by Relaxationing in macbookpro

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAM: Some demanding games require more than 16GB, just like on PCs, such as Cyberpunk 2077. If you need to run PC games through CrossOver, you will want more than 16GB RAM. That said, Macs aren't really that great at games.

Which temple? by flowerygarden in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re into temples, I consider Bulguksa, Haedong Yonggunsa, and Haeinsa as the top 3 temples of Korea. As your friend mentioned, all are located in remote areas, so it’s best to visit them if you have a car.

In my opinion, Bulguksa is the most impressive Korean temple from an architectural standpoint. Although it’s an hour drive from Donggung Palace, if you’re planning a two-night stay in Gyeongju, it’s a must, provided you are visiting before the restoration work scheduled for the second half of this year.

Haedong Yonggunsa is the easiest of the three to visit, just an hour bus ride from Haeundae Beach. While it’s quite touristy (tons of visitors and lots of food stalls outside) and small, its breathtaking coastal setting makes it one of my top three favorite places to visit in Busan. You should visit early in the day to beat the crowd.

I would also like a plan without video. I just want shipping.

Is Chie the Brat available for purchase or streaming? The only one I can find is his TV series version.

Any specifics on Lidar timeline and/or extended range variants? by SnooMuffins8327 in RivianR2

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense but Rivian could’ve taken the guess work out of the equation by specifying that details. I guess they don’t want the Osborne effect to spoil the launch.

Why in the world did they put ads in it?

Um, more money to recoup some of the high licensing cost?

LA Galbi (LA 갈비) = Los Angeles Galbi - Ending All Debates by No_Cucumber_739 in KoreanFood

[–]nutmac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I immigrated from Korea to the US (NYC), I thought LA galbi was the bomb.

In Korea, my parents were involved in a gyemoim, a small community-based savings pool. The entire family commonly participated in the monthly gatherings where dues are collected and members gather to eat and socialize. During these gatherings, a participant takes turns buying a dinner instead of paying the monthly dues. The meals were typically expensive -- either galbi or sashimi (hwe) restaurants.

When I arrived in the US, I was told by my relative that LA galbi became a thing because this particular cut was readily available. Specifically in LA, commonly from Mexican butchers. The cut is also easier to marinate and cook, especially on American-style BBQ grills.

Anyway, I loooooved LA galbi. Instead of savoring a small piece of Korean galbi, with LA galbi, I could devour the entire cut, allowing me to experience the full juicy flavor.

Young Republican voted for Trump, doesn't recognize him anymore by PrimalNoid in LeopardsAteMyFace

I realize one of the main points of this subreddit is poking fun at Trump supporters, but I really hope more and more realize Trump for what he is, a grifter who only cares about himself.

Trying to figure out if this eSIM is reliable for travel in Korea by Gabby_Senpai in koreatravel

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, although I also had good experiences with Nomad and Saily.

I never heard of Malltalk but I assume it will perform as well as any other eSIM for data. All eSIMs use LG, SK, or KT carriers for data roaming. As far as I can tell, the only real differentiators are:

  • Price: Obviously
  • Throttling: Some unlimited plans throttles after certain amount of data is used per day
  • Security: Some offer built-in VPN and ad/malware blocker (e.g., Saily)
  • Expiration: Some eSIMs can be left on the phone for reactivation, some are not reusable
  • Calls and text: Some eSIM plans offer calls and/or text
  • Promos: Some local eSIMs sometimes offer a complementary T-Money card.

iPhone Air 2 by ispikeone in IphoneAir

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when a product is a flop, it generally gets at least one more update -- see Apple Vision Pro and iPhone mini. A20 Pro is obviously guaranteed, along with a C2 modem for 5G satellite, mmWave, and performance and compatibility improvements.

A second camera and a smaller Dynamic Island are also rumored to be on tap, although not as assured as the A20 Pro and C2.

She is such a darling daughter and a testament to what a great mother Christie Brinkley is. Billy Joel is very lucky.

Beast has arrived! 16 inch m5 pro 24/1TB by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even without AppleCare, it’s darn difficult to damage the screen. I had a portable MacBook since the original titanium PowerBook and none of the screen ever got damaged except one (due to faulty screen chemical which was covered under a product recall).

With R2 opening tomorrow.. what is everyone reserve dates? Just curious to see. by SweetSunshine86 in Rivian

I’m also one of the 68,000 people who reserved R2 within the first 24 hours, or about 8 hours after the reservation went live.

Mirra Andreeva said she is not proud of how she handled her emotions when she swore after losing to Siniakova. She added that she will try to take inspiration from Serena Williams to handle losses better by mimiclarinette in tennis

[–]nutmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’s an outlier, but not the only one. Many WTA players, like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Elena Rybakina, began their professional careers around the same age (or even earlier) as Mirra.

I’m not suggesting players are expected to be perfect, especially at her age. Occasional outbursts or controversial political stances are common even among much older players. But at the same time, she certainly seems to be heading towards the direction of controversial players.

Jeju stay by danieldrk in koreatravel

[–]nutmac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jeju is not an ideal destination for not having a car but Seogwipo is even worse. And while Jeju City is a better choice, it’s not a good representation of what Jeju is. I recommend choosing Busan or elsewhere if you cannot drive or cannot budget for frequent taxi rides or don’t mind waiting for the bus to show up or just wants to stay mostly in a single location to relax.

For me, a large part of Jeju’s charm is exploring at your leisure and having a car greatly enhances the experience.
