roflchoppa··on Public protest against Amazon
It sounds like “brown uncle” syndrome to me. I hear south-east Asian women complain about it all the time, as a male I don’t have to deal with it much, but fits the description.
roflchoppa··on Ask HN: How can I make the most out of high school?
this shits a run-on thought so be warned before you read it:

learn to skate, you'll have a quick mode of transport in urban/suburban areas, you get to meet some cool people, widens your music exposure. Chances are these skating kids have spare boards, ask if they can help you learn, most people are down to hang out a little after school and skate for a bit.

Seriously I was in a similar state, but skating helped me branch out to other groups of people, I ended up meeting cool people through it, and I now surf with one of the people I met through it. Plus whenever we are in SF i feel really comfortable street skating.

Be ready to fall, and thats part of the learning, and the balance acquisition. its a life long skill, but a gift that keeps on giving.

also don't take off the plastics that cover the ball bearings on the wheels, people say that they "help out" but it really trashes them, if anything get some Red Dragon Bearings and call it a day, they are super good besides ceramics. If you have the ability to get a board ($110 new) get something some Thomas Trucks, Enjoi Board, and some Spitfire wheels.

roflchoppa··on Waymo's Self-Driving Cars Are Near: Meet a Teen Who Rides One Every Day
That might be a good chunk of it, but what I was thinking about was the traffic lighting that is around the schools and how that is oriented. It becomes highly congested due to the time that it takes for people to get into cars, and the lines that form for people that are trying to get into the lots. This backs its self onto main corridors.

Busses would address this due to the density of students per square foot.

roflchoppa··on Waymo's Self-Driving Cars Are Near: Meet a Teen Who Rides One Every Day
look I always get downvoted for saying mandatory school busses for k-12. But seriously its summer now, and theres no traffic in my Bay Area town. you can go where ever you need to in the mornings.
roflchoppa··on Tell HN: I miss the old internet
Im constantly amazed by the information that people have collected over on classiczcars.com for the anything Nissan/Datsun Z related. Even before that over on SOHC4, I ended up finding threads where an individual was testing out the characteristics of brake caliper grease, by conducting thermal tests to indicate what performed the best.

On /r/datsun all you really get is memes, and half-thought troubleshooting.

Old-car people inspire me to have a dedication to work-ethic, but also to thinking about the dynamics of how everything is operating. Its a whole different level.

roflchoppa··on Cupholders Are Everywhere
In my 240z I have to shove my coffee into the ashtray, which sucks because then it cant be used for extra-curricular activities. In the e30m3 have to shove my coffee between the seat and the door, its snug like a bug.

68' Classic MiniCooper has an ashtray for every passenger, and a communal one in the front.

No cup-holders, less airbags.

roflchoppa··on Cryptocurrency YouTuber Ian Balina hacked out of $2M during a livestream
Back in my day when we made wallets on air-blocked computers, that had the single purpose of just generating wallets.

Not sure if I would trust hardware wallets//online wallets in the same way.

The other benefit to this is if you misplace a wallet, and find it years later it’s like finding cash in your dress pants you don’t really wear all the time.
