Even Blogs have a history now at Teamliquid; now one of it's most active sections.

Thoughts on Teamliquid

One of the earliest (& better, by early standards) blogs at Teamliquid, were Hot_Bid admits he started in Teamliquid in lurker mode and gives his opinions about the site. Here is a quote of the blog I particularly agree with:

The most underrated aspect here is the format, coloring, and simplistic but aesthetically pleasing design. "Clean and simple" seems to be what Naz founded this site on, and as we see new features being added constantly, the general theme hasn't changed. The content speaks for itself, and no amount of huge flashy banners or crazy user icons can change that.

That blog never did have enough replies so please leave your own thoughts on Teamliquid on that blog as a reply, whether positive or intelligent constructive criticism (and yes, do remember it's still his place, i.e. his blog, and he does wear red colors.)

Sup

Rekrul first Teamliquid blog where one can get a glimpse at his earlier love-hate relationship with personal online diaries, i.e. one of the types blog. Alas so few men can be like the moon, that show only one face and even fewer men, can escape what they desire.

I like Canadians except one

The first long blog, by Emlary were she pities a particular Canadian, for dissing her nation.

And also, special input by LTT: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=9762

Interesting to see who posted in the thread and eventually ended up with mod status.

Practical Korean 8: Ordering II
+ Show Spoiler [Inevitable Disclaimer] +
I'm not Korean. I have no Korean blood. I cannot speak Korean fluently. In fact I've only been in Korea for 6 months. So don't go apeshit if I use a ㅔ instead of ㅐ or I offend anyone's acute nationalistic feelings. Rest assured though that I will not teach anything without being 100% that it's right.

Note on Romanization:
(Romanization is where the Korean is phonetically translated into English)
I hate Romanization and I strongly suggest any serious learners of Korean not to use it. It's just for the newbies. The problem with it is that different English speakers will pronounce the syllables differently and on an international forum like this, it's impossible for me to be accurate with it. There are different variations of Romanization and below I do my own version.

A good site to learn the alphabet is here:
http://www.langintro.com/kintro/index.htm

Recap! Count up to 5 (or maybe even 10...)
+ Show Spoiler +
1 하나 (hana)
2 둘 (tul)
3 셋 (set)
4 넷 (net)
5 다섯 (tah-seot)

6 여섯 (yoh-seot)
7 일곱 (eel gop)
8 여덟 (yeo dawl)
9 아홉 (ah hop)
10 열 (yeol)

Can you also remember how to say: "Please give me beer"
+ Show Spoiler +
맥주 주세요 (mek-ju ju-seh-yo)

Now it's time to magically connect these together so you don't sound like an alcoholic caveman.
Use this simple formula:

[DRINK NAME] + [NUMBER] + 병 + 주세요

E.g1 Please give me three bottles of beer
맥주 세 병 주세요 (mek-ju seh byeong ju-seh-yo)

E.g2 Please give me two bottles of soju
소주 두 병 주세요 (so-ju tu byeong ju-seh-yo)

+ Show Spoiler [Details for the keen] +

"병" means 'bottle(s)'. You must have it in the sentence. I call this type of word a [COUNTER] and a counter is always required when you are counting numbers of objects (like in our case). It is just a special quirk of Asian languages.(ㅠㅠ)

The eagled-eyed amongst you may have spotted the difference in spelling for the number 3 in e.g.1. (셋 changed to 세). In Korean, some of the initial numbers change slightly if you add a [COUNTER] to it:

1 하나 -> 한 병
2 둘 ----> 두 병
3 셋 ----> 세 병
4 넷 ----> 네 병

...rest is normal

You've been known to live for thousands of years, through fires and storms and climate changes and you still stand? Fuck you tree I'm a human being goddammit - you can't cut me open and see how long I've lived for. Ooooohhhhhh and don't get me fucking started on the fucking gangs of trees that are out there; or as they're commonly known as - forests. I fucking know they're trying to take over the earth - you can see it in their bark; not to mention that there's over 400 hundred fucking billion of them. I burn every goddamn forest I come across to show the other plethora of trees who's the boss goddammit.

Shit I hate trees so much.

Affirmative Action should be kept, but recalibrated to favour white students. As minority students largely gain a competitive equality through being raised in abusive patriarchal households, limiting their entry into higher education will lower the parents' incentive to abuse their children.

Furthermore such a system will once again favour natural talent, over the inflated admission of en rote learners.


Editor's Note: Man I love reading things that Moltke writes.

  • Water pokemon can cause hearing problems

  • Yet another iCCup picture blog

  • There's a blind spot in the top right corner of my eye

  • $27 000 for 40 years rent

  • So that's why there's a ban raithed initiative
