I started watching Westworld yesterday after coming across this review and finished Season 1 today. I wasn’t paying much attention though, watched it while playing World of Tanks. Spoilers ahead..

Yesterday I washed a stir fry pan(?) that I had left unattended for 4+ years,, used mostly to drip oil from the panhandle.. thingy after making eggs. There was almost half a centimeter of gooey semi solid oil resin covering the entire base. I used four sponges before they became sticky, my hands became sticky,…

this whole “it’s because of [behavior x] like yours that Trump won” rhetoric actually goes back a little. It follows a pattern of other similar conservative rhetoric. The most recent in my memory happened mid-campaign cycle, maybe early October? It went like this: A: Well this recent incident is very shameful because it’s not a…

every time a scheduled event is near: Computer Windows 10 pops up a reminder (via Windows Calendar) If there is a open tab somewhere in one of the 9 desks that has Google Calendar open, it puts itself on the front and pops up the notice. When in this status, no other chrome window becomes…

while making the next dream show vid, I was checking the URLs in the NILC fact sheet, and found a URL that was not working: http://justice.gov/eoir/list‐pro‐bono‐legal‐service‐providers‐map after some googling, I found the correct link: http://justice.gov/eoir/list-pro-bono-legal-service-providers-map what? they are exactly the same. What’s the difference? Putting them side by side on Notepad, I noticed the wrong…

So when actually taking time to analyze the KRC phone logs in the future: Outgoing menu numbers only increased after May 2016, when we allocated several phones to show the menu/addon as the caller ID. (Not show what the previous ones are, and that bump in June 2016) addons don’t seem to be counted Wrong…

I was re-watching Game of Thrones Season 1 and was blown away at how every line actually threads further into the plot, and every character referenced in passing actually have some purpose in being mentioned, or appear later. And it is all woven together gracefully – like when Arya starts practicing swordfight with Syrio Forell…

Many of my peers now have (multiple) children, and I’m unsure how socially acceptable it is to not be able to remember their children’s names (despite having seen/met them a couple times). Being the usual INTJ, I’m not really interested in their children, and I struggle to remember the parents’ names in the first place.…

cleaned up my youtube subscription list, went from 290 to 99. There were tons of dead channels, things I was into at one point (World of Warships), or channels I subscribed to because of one outstanding vid (eg vocaloids) but watching that every day was not smeothing I looked forward to, and organizations I had…

In chatrooms, we are often engaged in a age-old northern nomadic tradition of “wordless chatter”. Northern nomadic peoples (“오랑캐” in korean) had to deal with the constant sandstorm that heat up the gobi desert every summer. People were keenly aware that water was scarce and opening your mouth drained you from water faster. in other…

What is Translation? (Part 1)
The more concrete the linguistic example, the more on-point the cross-cultural translation would be. The more abstract, the less helpful for specific situations. For most highly nuanced expressions, it’s best to 1) apply the expression to a specific social situation, then 2) transfer that social situation culturally to the target language’s natural environment and then…

Someone on HelloTalk asked for feedback on her sentence “그럼에도 다시 일어나, 숨 쉬고 미소 짓고 앞으로 전진해”. I wanted to discuss the poetic imagery a bit to have the sentence flow more naturally. Ok.. So the imagery is that the 화자 was running (in the race.. Of.. Life, i guess), but stumbled across a…

A couple years ago we organized a major 200-person conference style event. I wanted to put up the materials on our website, but there was serious concern that this could tank attendance, as people would read the materials and not come to the conference. I think the opposite is the case. People would read the…
