#92Earlier quoted context omitted.
Monthly lunches? Meet up to play a tabletop game? Go for a hike? Have a group receive a tech presentation once a quarter? Lots of options, most just take your time and emails/contacting possibly interested folks.
I think the biggest issue here is "possibly interested folks". although I'll keep that as a food for thought.
Yes, that's the crux, for sure. Meetup or local slacks/discords are where I'd start looking. You could also email current or former coworkers, if you have that info.

HN will always remain in my heart and mind. 5 years ago I moved to Amsterdam to work on a super interesting R&D project that taught me a lot about GPS, coordinate systems, algorithms, and sadly the importance of having a short commute. I spent an hour and a half to get in either direction. That was demotivating and made me depressed and tired. HN was how I passed time, first on the train, the…

#94HN is my goto place whenever I feel bored, sad, lonely, without purpose, lacking inspiration etc. It's amazing how a single website with such a minimalistic design can condense so much quality content and quality people in a single place for the whole world to enjoy free of charge. Thanks and Happy New Year!

#95I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!
why don't you start something where you live?
social anxiety.

#98Happy new year, from Connecticut in USA. A fellow lurker on here, this is the only news source I've deemed worthwhile to consistently follow since I first learned about it from my college roommate. More than that, the content and community here is always amazing.
Much appreciation to dang and the people who help make this place what it is.

#99dang is the Philippe Petit of moderators. This place is what it is almost solely due to the tightrope act he performs as the best moderator on the Web.
