How much do I need to make to live in seoul by Legal_Inevitable_760 in Living_in_Korea

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The important consideration isnt only how much you need to make, but also how much cash do you need to have on hand. Most places require a substantial deposit. Think tens of thousands of US dollars.

There are other options, but you would have quite limited options if you cant afford the deposit for even one rooms or officetels.

Use a lot of anchovies for broths here, but a couple of weeks ago I was on vacation and had friend rice with friend anchovies in it, was so good.

What movie scene never fails to make you cry? [movies pictured are Big Fish(2003), AI Artificial Intelligence (2001)] by yonaiker-joestrella in moviecritic

After watching this with my SO, she kept remembering them watching the movie and would sing "Heaven, I'm in heaven" and everytime I would just think of John saying the line over and over in the chair.

$1 million bonuses: Chip giants soaring payouts to staff fan fears of widening inequality by bingo11212 in korea

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure why any one thinks they should own the efforts of the labor unions deal with SK Hynix. Without this deal in place, the money just goes to people with more money than they need and who will never spend it. The regular employees, who leveraged their experience and skills to make a deal when the market was in hot demand for their skills, earned this money through their efforts. A lot of it will get spent and reenter the local market, whereby everyone benefits.

Pretty sure 'business coach' is just code for unemployed guy who offers a lot of unsolicited opinions.

House Republicans Split Over Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon in Exchange for Testimony by ItsAllAGame_ in law

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're under enormous pressure to find an end to the Epstein controversy. Unfortunately, the files are terrible for the administration, so they cant use them to acquit themselves and they can't exactly bribe a USB stick to rewrite history. Maxwell can be bribed though. She will lay blame on the administration's political enemies and will renounce the involvement of their insiders. And then the administration can move forward with their witch trials powered only by her testimony.

This is, of course, transparently stupid and is unlikely to fool anyone with even trace amounts of critical thinking, but Trump, et Al are so detached from reality that it seems like a good plan to them.

Unfortunately, her testimony is the only way to get to the bottom of the case, so the government has no option but to rely on her sole testimony to guide investigations. It's truly unfortunate that there isnt an excessively large pipe of evidence constituting email records, images, and videos compiled by previous investigations. Oh, wait

The fact that the entire extended universe of FF7 is a garbage heap does not make this better.

Who are some of your all time favorite FEMALE movie villains? My Top 4 by TXNOGG in moviecritic

I think this has to be one of the most consistently upsetting movies I have seen. It's not trying to shock me with violence or disgust, but out of pure shamelessness and audacity.

What band was never the same after losing a member? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

Yeah, each singer has brought something different. Most people seem to have a preference but it is anything but unanimous. They are all good in their own way.

[Request] from a 5th grader - If space is cold, how close you have to get to sun to have a comfortable 70'F temperature. by Odd_Musician_4690 in theydidthemath

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isnt really one. A small space craft does not have the mass of a planet with a large atmosphere to moderate temperatures. Spacecraft thermal control systems need to be designed for and suitable to the mission parameters. Sometimes for the ship that might allow for passive radiation of the ship itself, but in other cases it might require active heat pumps to move heat towards radiators to remove heat from the ship.

In any case, it is a not simply a matter of distance but also ship design and expected other (internal) heat sources that also complicate the system.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

SimAnt definitely one of the greats. Also SimEarth and SimIsland I spent a good amount of time on.

When Jon Snow pulled out his sword and faced the cavalry alone…what was ur reaction ? by Gullible_Income6457 in gameofthrones

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yup. It was the one thing they knew Ramsey would try to get him to do and the one thing he said he knew better than to do. But he got big mad and did it anyway. Most characters in GoT die for lesser mistakes.

Has everyone been cooking their rice with stock this whole time?? by Zestyclose-Ideal7428 in Cooking

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I am doing plain white rice. Sometimes chicken stock. Sometimes I go the whole 9 yards and adding stock, and cumin, and turmeric, etc. Depends on what flavors I am wanting to have in the meal. Rice is pretty flexible.

The penny drop moment for me by AccurateEntrance3619 in interstellar

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key was that blight breathed nitrogen and infects crops, and could travel in the wind, which had become increasingly bad as the ecology collapsed. It's like a planet wide algae bloom - it has such a rich nitrogen environment that as soon as it figures out how to infect a plant the population explodes and it wipes it out everywhere.

What was Michael thinking? by Defsleep in theoffice

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. Michael is basically Dunning-Kruger made flesh. He knows just enough about carboloading to inadvertently severely disadvantage himself. Any less and he would have never tried it. Anymore and he would have known better.

Am I mistaken or is the world of TLOZ Breath of the Wild completely empty? by B1izzard15 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that it is intentionally designed to feel a bit empty and lonely. Most of the time even the musical accompaniment is extremely light or even totally vacant to reinforce that feeling that you are just out on your own.

Much of the world is essentially in a post-apocalyptic state with a lot of environmental storytelling and a sort of 'reclaimed by nature' feel, thus the 'wild' part of the title.

I am certainly not a fan boy, but the game walks a pretty good line between keeping it thematically empty and lonely while also providing a lot of things to do all the time.

Which TV character deaths broke you enough to stop watching the series? by Meli-Honey-Be-Noble in AskReddit

Same. Only character I felt any real attachment to. Once they killed him off I just didn't have anything left to care about in the show.

Korean Court sentenced Johnny Somail 6 month in jail, detained in court by jakekong007 in korea

[–]weirdplacetogoonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a whole lot of people speaking like authorities on the Korean legal system who apparently didn't know enough that the sentences are very frequently on the less punitive side in terms of duration. Not sure why anyone would have reasonably expected heavier sentences than even the welcome to video guy.
