Mr.Chill posted:Dude, S. Korea has the best snacks I've ever had, and it's not just the awesome store-bought stuff. My tiny stationed town Yeoju had this one guy who sold the best rotisserie chicken you've ever had from the back of his truck. Yeoju is the Minnesota of S. Korea and I loved it. Hell yeah, S. Korea is great for food in general. I think that all the over-sized dessert toast we ate there in 2015 removed at least a couple of years of my life. I'd say they were tied with Taiwan for snack food though.

credburn posted:Getting rid of my bed was the best thing I've ever done. Beds take up so much loving room and they're bad for your back. My entire bed is made up of a blanket, a pad, and a pillow, and it all rolls up into a space smaller than my suitcase, allowing my "bedroom" to function entirely as an office or whatever. I don't even have a "bedroom". I can put my bed anywhere. If I get rid of my bed, what the gently caress am I going to use my bedroom for?

There's a reason bedrooms have a reputation, vibe, etc. Bedroom eyes. If you don't have a bedroom, then your whole flat or apartment or whatever is your bedroom, and the distinction is lost.

Brandishing a gun shouldn’t be a crime in the US. We’ve decided we want to live in a society full of guns so I should be able to pull out my piece and point it at someone who cuts in line in front of me at chipotle.

Powered Descent posted:If you're going to go bed-less, at least go the hammock route. It's likely to be a lot more comfortable than a rollup mat on the floor, and it packs up even smaller. I've never thought much about what my potential partner sleeps in but going in and seeing a hammock would make me smile.

A hammock would be interesting. Beds that are too soft, or small, and beds that are two beds joined together and start to separate, are bad, because you can't brace against them properly. You'll be lacking the foundation, or when you are going to town start losing your "grip", etc. Sofas can actually be better because they have contours and hard surfaces but still soft enough for comfort.

We’re driving a couple towns over to go to a big Korean grocery store tomorrow. There's a brand of cheese puffs that makes giant puffs in maple syrup flavour. Would recommend. I think the mascot is a puff wearing a cowboy hat. Sadly, COVID has prevented us visiting the Korea-focused grocers in Melbourne, but I may be able convince family to bring treasure when they visit.

Candy: Have you tried making it yourself? Caramel, peanuts, chocolate, and... not sure what the rice stuff is. Seems straightforward. Dogs: Definitely read Charles and Mary Lamb, volume 2, the Last Essays of Elia; Popular Fallacies, "That you must love me, and love my dog": Lamb posted:"Good sir, or madam, as it may be—we most willingly embrace the offer of your friendship. We long have known your excellent qualities. We have wished to have you nearer to us; ... But yap, yap, yap!—what is this confounded cur? he has fastened his tooth, which is none of the bluntest, just in the fleshy part of my leg." phuo: As there is reasonable concern about projectile weapons, for the next ten years we should leave those laws alone and focus on self defense. That means completely revising most "dangerous weapons" laws that prohibit open and concealed carry of short-distance implements like clubs, batons, knives, swords, etc.

There's a pool hall near me in the asian neighbourhood that sells it, I haven't had it in probably a decade but it's so good. If that's what Korean snacks are about I need to get more.

The future is not what I was promised. highrises tend to suck and are quite depressing to live in (though the views can be really good (depending on location and on the abundance of adjacend highrises of course)). that said, flat conversions are almost always dreadful and much worse than highrises imo 5-7-story blocks of flats with sufficient amenities and green space around them is the pro city planning option for high-density residential e: also, phuo: studios suck
