I was surprised that the first place I read about it was on Korean news and that no one here was discussing it yet. I guess the common place is just not very news worthy? Iowa school shooting. 6th grader killed, 5 injured, single gunman killed himself. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/04/us/perry-iowa-school-shooting.html

As a non-sports inclined person, I would absolutely watch that.

I finished season 2 of Sweet Home only to discover Season 3 is due out this summer. Also watched Was It Love (Netflix) and I liked it. side note: I’ve come to the conclusion that all those birds in the 12 days of Christmas was just loved ones sharing every version of flu available during the season with their loved ones. The original avian flu. Now the song actually makes total sense in light of our experiences so far on this the 10th day of Christmas.

Star Trek science validated once again. Knew it was going to be bc of mycelium. Now to find someone that mycelium wants to bond with so we can travel the galaxy in a blink instead of a lifetime.

I’m in search of buying 2-3 of them. But the reviews are always all over the place for these. Reliable batter pack that lasts more than a couple hours is a must.

I’m dragging through Korean with a combination of desperation and determination that conflicts daily natural state combination of anxiety and enthusiasm. Starting 2nd semester and really feel behind. *sigh*

It’s a horror show where humans become monsters and it’s very bloody and there’s, of course, monsters. And the f bomb a few times so far. I’m not bothered but my husband will never watch it with me. LOL Dd14 has been anxiously anticipating the younger siblings going to bed at their actual bedtime so she can watch that one. Alas. Holidays have been cramping her viewing time.

Dh and I are hooked on Singles Inferno 3. Reality dating show. Haven’t seen the first 2 seasons. I could sleep at 2 am last night so I started Sweet Home. Absolutely NOT for minors of any kind.

Lee Sun Kyun, the actor who played the lead in My Mister, had his funeral today. His kid carrying his funeral portrait was so sad to see on Korean news this morning.

Curacao. Hands down. Meets every parameter. You don’t mention time of year in OP. But pending the season - South Korea Jeju Island or Busan would fit the bill too.

Well yes you can if you are doing the cabinets too. but it’s rarely lower than the counter top in any house I’ve ever seen so far. because if you get two stacked wall ovens at least one of them is going to be taller than I’d like personally. i currently have a wall oven and hate the thing. I miss the range the previous house had and if I ever have the funds to remodel my kitchen that’s what I getting if possible. I generally dislike my current kitchen and always have. But I didn’t buy the house for the kitchen. 🙂

I dislike that most wall ovens are too high up imo. i miss the huge range I had in the previous home. While it was one oven, I could put two cookie sheets next each other in it. And didn’t have to lift heavy things like whole turkeys or whatever up so high to get in and out of the oven. I wouldn’t want the micro to be attached to either. We have a microwave just big enough for a dinner plate and it’s almost entirely just for warming up the occasional lost coffee cup or late night frozen burrito or nachos by a grown kid late after school or work.

This would be closer to my understanding. And I think the other translations make more sense in that wording. Douay-Rheims 1899 “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” Great Adventure Bible: ”Until now you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

Both of you made it further than me. Apparently I watched one episode and forgot to ever go watch more. So that’s how “good” that was for me.

We literally read the original version every single Christmas Eve to the kids. 🤯 This is like the mystical collective verse skipping that everyone does at mass without being told.

I’m totally serious and I totally agree with you. I have no idea what you mean by tiny reindeer but oh so curious to be educated about it.🍿

🤦‍♀️ yes! I never really thought of any actual sex acts and if I did I didn’t think gay bc … no body is around. But you’re right! That does make more sense! One can only hope not anyways.

Context matters. Again far away from people/civilization implies there’s not human bum options. Well you are correct that I should not discriminate. It could be any animal. Though jokes about being alone and lonely for too long while guarding whatever cattle is nothing new and has been around for multiple generations in every demographic I think. Heck even jokes that sailors were without women for so long that manatees started to look like women is how we got mermaids.

Super easily actually. Egypt before internet and smart phones was just a far away distant place to most Americans in the Protestant Bible Belt and the most memorable thing about it was Moses getting lost somewhere there. The gay thing is just bizarre to me. The entire premise is it’s somewhere there aren’t any people and you can get lost. So I can understand possible insults to the sheep maybe but not the gays this time. Not at all saying I’ve never heard a gay or Muslim insult before but this is not a white straight people phrase at all here.

Well now I know I wasn’t even using the acronym correctly. Good to know. Tyvm. FUBAR i knew. In related news I asked Dh about blockbuster this morning and he swears he didn’t know that was a euphemism.

I was being polite by saying f-ing and not the actual f*** part. But it’s always been bum to my limited knowledge. And I’ve always wondered the same as you. The acronym was an effort to NOT be vulgar while conveying a common situation. Like saying PITA. Hold up! While I can imagine that your experience is true, that’s never what it meant here as far as, again, to my obviously limited knowledge. The bum was always understood to be cattle and had nothing to do with ethnic demographics. So there’s that. ETA: as in they are far away from all the people so obviously there’s no people bum available. I’ve never heard it in a racist manner and I heard plenty of racism so I’m sure they wouldn’t have missed the chance. I’m scared to ask but I did not know that was an acronym. Snafu isn’t just a nifty word that means a small annoying cluster mistake?

Pretty much.

Or for those watching kdramas it’s like being asked in for ramen.

Netflix and chill means basicly a no stress hookup at your place. It’s the new version of “Let’s go to my place for a nightcap/drink.” At least that’s what all the younguns tell me is the saying these days.

WHY does b*tt sound so much worse than bum? 🤔
