Started running a script to download all my kindle books before Amazon deletes the ability to do that and apparently I have 1,850 of them?

thank you to the random redditor from 2 years ago who had the exact same tech/hard drive issue as me, and posted the solution instead of "nvm figured it out".

Thank you random stranger, I would like to give you ONE LARGE HUG, you have saved the day! 🎉💖

The move to "everything is USB-C" is a boon.

My work laptop is USB-C so I can just carry my phone charger to work and it charges my laptop, phone, earphones and Kindle.

Haha, for all its simplicity, this Weverse post is really silly and chaotic. Very Kim Seokjin. The narrative case thing made me laugh out loud.
Transcript of English translation of Jin's new year's day post ARMY, are you all having a good Lunar New Year’s Day? I also ate rice cake soup with my family There are people cooking at home so food quality went up haha (I prepare food sometimes, too) I even have TWO nieces and nephews so I gave out new year’s money, too.. I thought I’d only ever be on the receiving end of it in my life time ㅠㅠ [crying] I want to upload selfies, but recently it hasn’t been in my schedule to get makeup done and I’ve been shy about showing my bare face so I’m not so good about posting. 힝 [cutesy way of expressing sad face emoji or being a little bit comically depressed] But lately, without missing a day for about three weeks, I’ve been going to work. I’m working hard so ARMY, please wait for me a little longer while watching Run Jin 하트 [heart] Translation Notes - Jin’s use of the -답니다 ending is humorous to me. It kind of has the feeling of adults speaking very warmly to children (think maybe kindergartner teacher on the first day of school). You often see this in children’s books where it has that narrative sing-songy character to it (imagine reading the words, “Once Upon a Time…” to a child). Haha, idk. - 해가다 here is 하다 + 가다 - When we first learn to talk about cooking in Korean, we learn 요리하다 (literally to do cooking) or 음식을 만들다 (to make food) - probably because these phrases are very clear for a learner. But equally common is to just use 하다 with appropriately clear context. - For example, if you want to say you cooked and ate dinner, you could say 해 먹었어요 (did and ate). - So preparing food in advance and taking it somewhere, you can say 해가다. - It’s been nominalized (made into a noun) with the -ㅁ ending here, which makes it feel quite casual, like you’re talking to your friend via text

Oh hey, Korea Times kinda posted a translation on Insta. Interesting that they dropped 지분대다 from the translation - that was challenging to communicate.

I wish we had native Korean speaking translators on 🦋. Pretty sure all the translations I've seen have been non-native speaker translations.
Transcript of Instagram post covering Jungkook's Weverse 15 Feb 2025 post. BTS member Jung Kook has opened up about his feelings as he approaches the end of his military service. Jung Kook communicated with fans through the fan platform Weverse on Friday, starting with a heartfelt question: ”ARMY, are you all doing well?“ He continued, ”The weather seems to be getting warmer, but then turns cold again — almost like reflecting my own emotions.“ He added, ”Today’s weather feels especially gloomy. There‘s still time left, but at this point, I find myself having more days of self-reflection.“ Jung Kook expressed how much he misses his fans. ”Tonight, I find myself deep in thought. Sometimes, I imagine taking pictures with ARMY, and the smile that spreads across my face in those moments makes me happy. But then, I wonder, ‘Will these moments only exist in my imagination now?’ and a sense of doubt creeps in,“ he said. Despite his worries, he reassured fans that he intends to create even more meaningful memories in the future. ”Of course, that means I need to put in the effort. I never forget that the ones who have held the pen writing my story so far are all of you, ARMY. Because of that, I know exactly what I must do,“ Jung Kook said. ”Even though I know this, I still feel a little impatient, excited and somewhat anxious.“ He emphasized his deep affection for ARMY, hoping his sincerity reaches them. ”I don’t ask for anything else,“ he added. Jung Kook wrapped up his message with warm words for fans: ”I miss you all today, as always. I‘m still waiting. Please take care of your health. I love you.“ Jung Kook enlisted in the military in December 2023 and is currently serving as an active-duty soldier in the army. He is set to be discharged in June.

Practicality aside from the lunacy of it all, they're just dumping how many thousands of people into the job market.

Democrats don't seem to understand how bad the aftershocks from that are going to be and it's baffling.

Learned 뻘소리 and 뻘 짓다 today. Which basically means bullshit. One of my language exchange partners is quite a colorful fella.

무슨 뻘소리야?
What the hell does that even mean?/What bullshit is this?

뻘 짓지 마

I don’t necessarily recommend jumping into full on world events, but entertainment and human interest stories are, imo, not bad to start if you want to dip toes into or transition into harder stuff!

I need to put this out there. There is no monomyth. The "hero's journey" is not a universal thing, and never was. Its creation relied on cherry picked stories and ignoring everything in them and any context about them or the cultures they were from to work. It was literature level colonialism. 1/4

During the Korean War, Will Eisner was hired by the US government because they learned that comics were the most immediate way to learn technical information.

They absolutely are.

There's a Korean soap opera on Netflix (When the Stars Gossip) which has *Drosophila courtship in space* as a major plot point (Ep 2). They have Michael Reiser & lab's flight arenas (you can see Janelia & MIchael's initials on the panels). Great way to learn about Drosophila courtship!

Okay. There isn't a Korean equivalent to boypaper that my teacher knew but she was super delighted to learn the English word. And then pointed to my Yoongi pc in my phone case and went "excellent boypaper, yes? Is that how I would use that word?" and I am just charmed.
