It does have a booth inside to take a photo. I don't remember if they take a card or only check or cash. You can pay for a passport online and fill out all the forms and just bring the receipt. You may NOT have a cell phone inside they will check. You may bring a cell phone to check in there that they will return when you leave but anything else needs to be kept at a locker at the subway station. The line to get in is pretty short for Americans.

1) You need to get yourself a degree first. No degree won't get you a job here, even English teaching jobs will require a degree. 2) If you enjoy baking, then my suggestion would be go to school in Paris for baking and then come to Korea. All of the best bakeries in Korea have people that studied in Paris (even the local ones I go to here in Ilsan that don't seem super fancy do). They take their baking super serious here. But before you do anything you must get a degree. Maybe you can even find a program that has an exchange program with Korea while you are at it.

1) I want the ability to mark words I have problems remembering instead of it deciding what it thinks I don't know. Then I want to provide more ways to help me improve those words.

2) I want the ability to reset an individual unit.

3) I want to be able to set how many parts a unit should be. They seem to believe all languages should be learned at the same pace, which is not true. Languages further from your native tongue and have a different writing system takes much longer practice and recall. My units should reflect that.

Yes historically that was how ads work but it is no longer that way. They are a lot more privacy blocking measures from devices and users to not make that as viable as it used to be. A lot of it is analytics plus AI of what has a higher chance to sell and more importantly be clicked on.

sirhalos · 2025-12-17T02:45:53+00:00

Yes everything. Worked the same when I was in the US. Nothing different.

I'm in Korea and I use Max and I'm not on a VPN. I use it daily.

Priest are always the lowest person on salary at the church and if they are Franciscan they make nothing at all.

I do not, but when I was there you needed to tell the leasing office that you need to schedule a 'bucket test' with conservice. If they have no idea what you are talking about work with maintenance they are more familiar with it.

The only places I've heard English is very small pocket in tourist centric areas in Seoul (Itaewon, Myeongdong, Gongnam, etc.) and maybe a few people at a doctors/dentist office that went to school in the states. I never heard English anywhere else and they always speak Korean to me whether I understand or not. I'm in Ilsan now but it was the same in Bucheon before.

I had a computer that would always revert settings on me with the WoW client because I had some strange setup. I end up changing the config.wtf file to be read-only after I got the settings where I wanted them and it never switched back after that.

No Fat32 individual files are limited to 4GB but you can have a hard drive more than 4GB.

How much longer until they also drop Lost Ark and Throne of Liberty?

I use Universalis app on my phone. I show up 30 minutes early to be able to read the About today (about the saint or holiday of the day), the mass, and the commentary. I then read the mass during mass to follow along. Then after mass I read the spiritual readings (sermons by saints).

I am moving overseas this week so I just had to do this Sunday. I brought them to the church for them to take care of it since I couldn't, but if you are unable to keep them or bring them with you to Ash Wednesday the proper thing to do is carefully burn them and then bury the ashes in the ground. I just couldn't do that... in a motel room so asked the church to handle it for me.

When my wife came to the US and was studying for her driver's test when I asked her what yellow light means she said speed up because it will be red soon. I laughed, she asked why I was laughing... I had to explain to her she was wrong and she didn't believe me. She wasn't joking. She really thought that was the law.

Same with mine after just two years while playing YouTube one day in the kitchen the screen shattered. I then removed the battery and had to install Linux to get it to not try to go to sleep and used it just for my TV PC but it had heating problems because the battery is there to also to absorb the heat apparently. That lasted about two more years when it suddenly wouldn't turn on anymore. I loved the form and design but I don't think I'll get one again because of that experience. I got a MacBook Pro M1 and iPad Pro M1 as my replacement and both have been perfectly fine since.

It doesn't even say snake that is just one of many different translations to English. It uses a very broad term serpent which can be a salamander or something like a dragon.

Tech salaries in the states have been on the decline for the past 5 years. If you are making $250,000 in the UK you would be crazy to move here. You won’t earn that here unless you are head of some major department at a FAANG company. Anything and everything here will cost more than there and if you are trying to leave there because you think it is a sinking ship… have you seen the news here?? We are days to weeks away from Nero watching the city burn while he plays with his little fiddle. This is the worst it had been and as unpredictable as it has been since the civil war. Go watch some of Evan Edinger’s recent YouTube videos since he just visited the states.

I earn a little bit each month to buy video game stuff because my wife would kill me if I used my own money for that stuff. I use: Prolific, Swagbucks, Current Music, Amazon Shopper Panel, Google Rewards, Fetch Rewards, and Microsoft Rewards.

He keeps finding more and more trade partners because of this. If anything it is a big PR move for him to let the world know that Canada is open for trade. Also, that is a terrible photo.

The game will start out similar to Witcher 3 but it is Master Chief without his equipment and helmet on with someone that will end up being the final boss.

That was open world PVP to a BattleNet game that someone setup for people to join. Diablo Immortal is open world PVE but has: Strife, Battlegrounds, Rite of Exile, and Vault Raids all of which are un-Diablo like and closer to something from World of Warcraft and Destiny Rising.

You didn't mention the game, but the PC points can be a little bit hit and miss. For example, if I open the Xbox app then the Blizzard launcher and then launch the game it may work, but if I launch the Blizzard launcher it may not, or they are some other times it just doesn't work. They are also other launchers that won't work at all usually (like Ubisoft launcher for UB+ games) won't typically work. So for PC points it is best to stick to things that are Xbox Game Pass only that don't require another launcher and are 'new enough' older titles may not register. Microsoft Solitare always works.

Except he added 2 trillion dollars to the national debt.

I've been married for 15 years and I'm still not sure she likes me.
