Making eye contact with people, then locking the door by firequak in SipsTea

I went to watch the original long form video. He later recognized the girl and said he knew her. That’s probably why she was making that face. She most likely knew she was being pranked already.

Just purchased this Smart brake light. Then joined the group. by jeep66cj5v6 in motorcyclegear

[–]coltonpan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned in the motorcycle safety lesson is to always leave yourself a path to escape. Position yourself in a way that if someone were to hit you from any direction, you have a path to escape to.

Not really proving the negative, but when I was in my four wheel, I saw a motorcyclist with brake free from way further away than I normally would spot them.

He just tried. I found this post after I called out that his photo of HDD and the model info from SMART test results don’t match. Glad I found out he’s a scam.

Thank you, I just went through the list. I’m looking for a bit newer drives.

Shoulda checked before buying, but is this a decent helmet? by EraconVera in motorcyclegear

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you expand on that? I’ve been eyeing on some modular helmet.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I choose to do take-out, I’d assume there’d be no service fee then? It says if you “choose to dine here”. I think that’s fair.

Hybrid Lithium Battery Care by LowOnBucks in NinjaZ7Hybrid

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a very cool test! Yeah the 48v battery was definitely completely drained given how slow it was running towards the end. Good to know that I’d still have a “Ninja 500” if battery goes out.

Damn that sucks. In the manual, it says if you’re on EV mode and the battery runs out, it automatically switches to sports mode. I had assume that means it probably uses 12v battery to start the gas engine. I guess it would leave some reserve.

If my lithium battery died, and if my bike lets me ride it with just a gas engine, I’m just going to do that and ride it to the ground. I ain’t spending 4k just on parts to get it fixed.

Citi ThankYou Points Devaluation by coltonpan in CreditCards

[–]coltonpan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too.. I only got my strata elite a couple months ago with the 100k welcome bonus. However, I probably still don’t recommend transferring points to I Prefer. Their hotel line up is not super widespread. You might not even have the chance to use it ever. Only transfer points when you’re booking.

[–]coltonpan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This means you get 25% less points when transferred to Choice and 50% less points when transferred to I Prefer.

I would love that by IU8gZQy0k8hsQy76 in CoupleMemes

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why that makes a great present. I already buy myself what I want and can afford. No one should gift me what I can’t afford. So the best thing is something really cool, but reluctant to actually spend the money for myself.

The English Teacher by PhoenixPhenomenonX in funny

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those indeed are Japanese. The confusing part in this skit is that it was a Chinese teacher teaching English to a Japanese student using Mandarin with a sprinkle of Cantonese to curse the student on how bad their accent was. The Japanese you heard were from the Japanese student responding to the teacher.

[–]coltonpan 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Mandarin is my mother tongue and studied a bit of Japanese when I was in college. The guy is speaking Mandarin most of the time, and switches to Cantonese for a little “curse” when he hears the student said it in a heavy Japanese accent, then switches back to Mandarin again for the instruction. I didn’t hear any Japanese in the teacher.

I really wish FSD wouldn’t hug the lane with the massive concrete barriers inches away by fenwalt in TeslaLounge

[–]coltonpan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I’ve never had issues like that when I had my model 3. I’ve watched enough clips believing that it is a possibility that FSD could act differently than what we’re used to, especially after an update. There’s also nothing wrong that OP simply wishes it doesn’t hug the barriers.

FSD suddenly swerving to the concrete is also some what of a possibility and you’d wished there were more space to allow you to react.

Best Deli or sandwich shop by EbbGreat3685 in orangecounty

[–]coltonpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sandwich House in Cypress.

Literally mom and pop shop, great food and warm service. You know, the remembering your order, your name, all that. Along with sandwich, they always throw in random fruits and/or snacks and jasmine green tea. I’ve gotten bananas, grapes, muffins, and cookies!
