For every person I see that blocks the escalator, there are like, hundreds that let things flow. And as someone who lives near a heavily-foreigner populated subway station, it's not just Koreans who do it.
QuoteTo whom it may concernI heartily recommend CO2 for a job at your company/school. If only for the awesome sight of seeing how he can drink a whole bottle of tabasco sauce and not even flinch. We have on many occasions sat down with a bottle of mackeolleee (which he chose, he knows the quality ones) and a bunch of shit-hot food. I asked 'do you like spicy?' He just laughed at me and ordered the donnggaass with the spicy sauce on top. He ate the donnggaasss and snorted the spicy sauce on top. I flipped, seriously. The guy is a legend. Please hire him. Sincerely, Principal

Reminds me of Laowhy86 (American Youtuber in China, pretty popular and worth watching. ADVChina is his partner channel with his SA buddy and it's really good)

Quote from: oglop on November 15, 2019, 10:33:50 amno it's not. my point is that they smoke next to smoking signs even though they know the signs are there. just like people stand on the walking side of the escalator when they know people are behind them and want to walk up, or go through a red light when they know they should stop, or drive their motorbike on the pavement, etc, etcbut it all comes down to the fact they know they can get away with it. nobody calls them out on their shitty behaviour, and they know they aren't going to get a ticket for smoking in the wrong place or driving on the pavement1) As far as smoking, the perception that smoking is being overlegislated influences smokers to not respect those boundaries. When you put no-smoking signs EVERYWHERE, including where smokers used to congregate, you're going to get people who just say "eff it" to what is seen as a nuisance law by them. That and chemical addiction leads to lawbreaking behavior. Also, not all of those non-smoking signs are actually that enforceable. "Hello Police, there is someone next to the GS25 in Wherever-dong who is smoking next to the no smoking sign. Please send someone immediately." WTF do you want them to do? Immediately dispatch a squad car to deal with someone who will likely be gone by the time they get there? Demand that the cops dust the area for prints and take in butts to have them DNA tested down at the crime lab? Have a cop on permanent duty by the spot? A lot of cops themselves are smokers and they probably see some of the smoking regulations as about as ridiculous as Prohibition. Finally, if you look at the areas where it IS a big deal not to smoke, like the designated streets in certain neighborhoods, people are pretty good about NOT smoking there. 2) For every person I see that blocks the escalator, there are like, hundreds that let things flow. And as someone who lives near a heavily-foreigner populated subway station, it's not just Koreans who do it.

Old computer was working OK. Was replaced by a new one with a 2019 decal. New computer is slow and crashes a lot. Any ideas as to what could be causing that?
The radiator is set at 30 Degrees (86F) today in the office area.
The radiator is set at 30 Degrees (86F) today in the office area that I share with about 4 other people. I get that it's chilly out, but do we need to be tropical indoors? During the summer when we didn't use the AC to "save on electricity costs," I was all in because a little sweat won't hurt me. Why aren't we using the same logic during the winter? Heat up to 21-23 and if you're still cold put on a sweater! I don't know, maybe I'm turning into my father
No sweat lodge at my school. The thermostat's set to 20 in my office, and a fair percentage of the teachers here are unfamiliar with the concept of closing the door when they enter a room. I miss being in my old office, where my desk was close enough to the door that I could just scoot over a bit, reach out, and close it without getting up.

Lol so true. Going shopping in Homeplus during the winter months? Right, pop your shorts on.
Ulsan is cutting all public school NETs. That’s a big city, too. Population: over a million. Very rich city, too. According to Wikipedia: “In 2017, Ulsan had a GDP per capita of $65,093, the highest of any region in South Korea.”But because of budgetary constraints, they can no longer afford NETs. Seems to me like they just don’t want them.
