Daeji Gukbab(돼지국밥)! You get it all over Korea but it’s especially famous in Busan where I live. It’s pork bone broth with meat served with a few toppings and a bowl of rice on the side. I always order the one with meat, intestines, and blood sausage. It’s very rich and savory and comforting. It’s also very cheap and often open 24hrs

I’m guessing this is going to be an unpopular take here. Earlier this year I got a Xiaomi and have had a great experience.

I was getting frustrated with my s10’s battery life. I’ve replaced phone batteries before but always end up cracking the glass shortly after. So this time I spent around 300 usd on a Redmi note 13 pro. It seemed like a hassle to flash but I was able to get rid of all the bloatware via adb. The benchmarks are comparable to the S10 and with my settings the battery easily lasts 2 days (unless I play games). It also has a flat screen and a 3.5mm jack. No Bixby button.

I don’t know the security implications of buying a Chinese phone but I have solved all my complaints about my previous Samsung phones by switching.

I was never good at staying on a diet. I have really bad self control and go through phases where I get hooked on soda or energy drinks or smoking, etc.

Two things helped me finally lose weight and maintain a pretty healthy build (these days 90kg 183cm originally 110-115k).

First, I found I could lose weight in short periods when I had a concrete goal. I lost 10k in maybe 6 weeks. Plenty of it was water weight and came back. But after doing that 3 or 4 times I was down to a place I felt more comfortable with myself. During those cycles I was basically always thinking about my calories. It would get tiring in normal life but it was ok if I was trying to hit my goal.

Second, by focusing on my macros and trying to limit salt every day I ended up filling my stomach way before I went into calorie surplus. By going low sodium it eliminated any kind of fast food and most frozen foods. Getting rid of salt wasn’t really for health it was just to lose water weight and hit my goal. But getting rid of salt ended up making my diet way healthier.

I also had some success by cutting out bread. I don’t think bread is terrible for you or anything, but by giving myself that limitation I made myself choose better options
