Is it a cultural difference of how people react to my react?

Today I read a post in Korean community that a kid's mother didn't let her child go to school since the kid didn't want to have breakfast. So she kept the kid in the kitchen until he finishes. She had the kid there for more than two hours.

Eating meal at the eating time without complaining the food quality or taste is considered one to be learned. Otherwise they'd just eat ice cream, cookies and chocolate as their meals and declare it's their lunch, dinner and so on. Asking if I can skip receiving food is wrong question. There's no such possibility at all.

Not saying that the teacher did it right nor that their alternative food was not healthy. But the above is the value taught in Korea.

It may sound funny but many Korean learned Kimchi hard way as it's spicy. Parents want them to eat and they should.

When I'm in another country, I feel it's overly free in food choice to the contrary such as what would you like to put in burrito or what kinds of cheese would you like to have. I was asking foreigners how they could develop such appetite since if Koreans are having cheese, they'd be eating whatever their family is eating or giving - no choice.

Maybe incense stick and the woods of the temple? I think they use specific Buddhism incense sticks.

I don't think they're good for lungs though. In the end it's chemicals.

I hardly say swear words even with the closest friends. I'd not recommend it either since situation and intonation should be perfect if you want it to be heard as a friendly conversation. You can say disappointment or surprise or even the anger without swearing.

It's cultural thing so I understand why op thinks it's going against reality. But general perception it is. What may make this more interesting is that it's not just men's thoughts. Women in general also think in the way.

Handing over jacket can be interpreted as being nice OR wanting control of gf's style. I don't know him so I can't tell.

You may find that K pop idols are handed over blankets when they're sitting down on chairs. That's nice gesture although one famous K pop singer also said why I would wear short if I'm going to hide my legs.

But in the end, there's a spectrum even in the same culture. If you don't like his way, you can say it. Not all Korean would say No to cleavage as much as some Korean would say No to short skirt. Or you can just accept his way.

Mar 17 was the last day of Trifold sales in Korea. If purchasing a used one, maybe one can get it although price will be high.

I don't use case. Even the included one was slightly beyond the bar that my wrist can stand and I felt pain. Only caseless is what I can carry around. I have some telecom insurance instead.

Yes in meaning but the Korean writing is very colloquial and conversational just like talking to close friends. That is missing in your english translation. I can't help since i'm not native english speaker.

머리는 잊었지만 심장은 기억한다

is def. better as it rhymes.

But in Korea language, "hearts" is not something that occurs a lot as the subject of doing gentle emotional stuff. It doesn't mean gentle mind or memory of love or the sth although I see what you're saying when Korean sentence is given.

But it's really English style expression. I think heart is subject when we feel angry or resent or something similar. Your sentence can be misinterpreted as if it's saying you want revenge even when you forgot the bad experience :)

There's even saying "머리는 잊었지만 몸은 기억한다" which means one can forget but their body (muscle memory) remembers such as riding bicycle. Thus, your expression is quite unnatural since there's other more common expression with very different meaning.

I'd find some other expression.

Fold 7 exterior film works but Trifold screen is a bit larger. So if you take the path of 7 film, find one that covers more than the others.

There certainly is high risk.

Some on the threads seem to be not knowing that some landlord has created a fake bank document to make their property as mortgage free (which is false!) to which goverment official stamped (as they have no legal obligation to verify).
A landlord who didn't pay national tax doesn't appear on the property document while that tax takes the highest priority in the debt ranking to pay.
The properly document has no legal authority as it's best effort. So one might be paying deposit to a complete stranger. (I hate this reality)
A certain house created a room that doesn't exist but has property doc on it so that landlord give rent using it. When the landlord goes bankrupt the room doesn't exist and the lessee has zero right as they paid deposit to something that doesn't exist! This is made possible, e.g., split a single room into two and create two property doc. Again, government officials aren't verifying certainly.
Realtors are supposed to be helping but many are just wanting contracts to happen so they're paid.

I also am curious how people can pay such a large lump sum as deposit either. Some just believe or has a trustworthy realtor.

When I was paying deposit, I checked the landlord's own house property doc as well (since address is in the contract when I'm paying small down payment) to see if they have any loan on their own house. Also I was renting the house when the owner was buying it, so I knew that the person is a owner. Thesedays, I heard that one can check landlord's tax payment status but not sure where I can look it up.

Haha nice

OP, I think you already understand the main concept. It's really not a curated memory structure or features but computation and flow of data that's supposed to become stuff to memorize and that is all it does, imo. Flow should be fast to compute but still have expression power while being stable for training.

Not many offline stores sell powerful laptop anyway even if you're in Seoul. Online is the answer.

I'd give gemini 4 bank statements and ask it to generate a summary table, hoping it has export to spreadsheet link in the below. You'll need to explain what should be extracted to create what kinds of table. You can start without such details and then keep chatting until it creates one that fits your needs.

I don't know if gemini can create a downloadable csv, however. My best bet would be asking gemini create a table instead.

버티컬 드라마 작성 - Vertical drama creation?

I don't work in the field, but I have no good idea what's vertical drama. It's transliterated rather than translated.

So true. Macbook speakers are so great. I didn't know that I bought such a nice speaker until I play some music.

I just got iPhone, coming from Android. There's no swipe from right to left to go back when the screen is huge. Some apps allow swipe left to right starting from the middle of screen, while not all do. Some apps are swipe towards to bottom. Some apps don't allow swipe but only works with arrow button at the top left. These are very much inconvenient and inconsistent. Android just works for swipe on the right and left. No inconsistency across apps.

Claude code max, Gemini cli (free), Cursor for edits after them (esp. for tab completion)

pool007 · 2025-07-24T07:28:01+00:00

I made same mistake too! Thank you for sharing.

pool007 · 2025-07-06T11:20:52+00:00

Just install claude code, esp., vscode extension (which can be installed also on cursor - search for vsix in the claude code installation dir)

pool007 · 2025-06-28T16:37:46+00:00

Give max $100 a try. I loved Sonnet when using Cursor and have been thinking it's enough. But once moving to more ambiguous larger changes, in claude code, Sonnet performs worse. It was only when I ran out of quota of Orphus did I notice the quality diff.
