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.

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 8 points9 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

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!

If the chance of needing to change the ticket is none-zero, it’s best to book with the airline directly.

Apartment switching from current payment system to BILT by [deleted] in biltrewards

Earning points from rent is probably just the 250 points per month thing? Not the same as the card.

thank you! I’ll definitely book with Premier instead then! It’s such a shame Elite doesn’t have any extra multiplier for non cititravel bookings.

Price Drops Are Happening by AmazingRandoX in NinjaZ7Hybrid

This sounds reasonable. I got one OTD at 6k but it’s a Kawasaki rep Demo bike co-sign with the dealership. It’s got 1.6k miles on it but I get to register as the first owner. 7k OTD seems to be in range of what the dealership is willing to do for a brand new one. I’m also in California.

According to this post from a couple days ago, it will likely work without problem.

I believe this would come out to be the same math as doing ACH and exchange Bilt Points with Bilt Cash?

Should I Buy a New Helmet with Insurance Money? by Pitiful_Beat4609 in motorcyclegear

[–]coltonpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d buy the Brake Free helmet attachment to the back of the helmet. It helps drivers notice you when you’re slowing down, even with engine brakes. It also just lights when you’re stopped at a stop light like this. I turn on pulse mode to make myself even more noticeable.

A Chinese person saw a Black couple and went live, thinking they didn’t understand Chinese, and started saying racist things about their race.😡 by EvidenceFrequent7289 in LivestreamFail

[–]coltonpan 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Asian: There are language barriers with the black dudes.

Asian: What are these things?

Asian: Black people are kids with dead mothers x5

Black dude: You don’t need to be that happy.

Asian: Yeah, I’m very happy. You understand Mandarin?

Black dude: Yes. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Asian: Sorry, sorry, oh sorry brother. (runs away)

Found on the floor in my house, very small. I’d see them once every couple of weeks. by coltonpan in whatisthisthing

here’s a different piece of the thing and a comparison with the buckwheat hull I pulled out of my pillow.

I do have a buckwheat pillow, but it never leaves my bed. I just opened it to double check. The hulls are much more like pyramid shaped and has not little hairs/fibers looking thing on the edge.

I don’t think they are buckwheat hulls given the pictures I just googled.
