America has globally, objectively low commute times. And generally the more public transit usage and walking there is the longer the commute.
>>1995994>Anon, you really should value your time higher.I do, that's why I use a car instead of wasting time on public transportation.>median used cars cost around $27k,so? I bought mine for 5k. You can go way cheaper but I wanted something with over 250hp.>conspiracy theoriesArea 51 was a conspiracy theory, doesn't make it untrue. There isn't even a theory, you can just listen to what they say the want to do to you.
>>1996042Still way worse than a car. Too much walking and waiting for a train.
>>1996117IS THAT EXERCISE???AAAAA SAVE ME HENRY FORD
>>1996116What I like is how urbanists and eco zealots are the very reason why cars are far more expensive than they need to be, then they say it’s an unfair drain on poor peoples wallets. Gas used to be cheap. Cars were cheaper to buy. Mandates have made them ever more expensive. Autonomous braking systems, tracking devices, emissions filters, etc.. just one of these alone might add $2000 to the price of a car. And theres loads of them with more being mandated every year. Then the systems fail and the car is either bricked or illegal to drive (see DPF and Adblue). Old cheap cars become impossible to find. Carbon taxes on fuel and home energy go up. Look at your heating/electric bill and see how much you’re being charged for the “privilege” of greenwashed energy. Yuck. The poor gets taxed off the road then the bus service gets cut and you either move to a nasty inner city apartment surrounded by drug addicts and thieves or remain stranded. The word salad is hilarious and at this point the commies aren’t even hiding the fact they admire the system of government that has killed more people than just about anything else in recorded history. Crabs in a bucket. Disgusting

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.
>>1994046>JRBuilt by the government then privatized>if Amtrak could leverage the sameDoubt they're legally permitted to and even if they could, the chance to buy cheap land remotely close to city centers disappeared decades ago
How is Amtrak going to get the line reservations when they're competing with coal and bulk commodities for rail time?
>>1992023Long-haul routes are kind of a special thing, like preserving a traditional way of travel without too much practical use.But they could just run a bunch of regional lines between major cities more frequently, maybe buy some smaller DMUs for that. I'm talking journeys that are maybe up to 4-5 hours, start with two or three trains a day. That wouldn't be very expensive and it might get people to use trains more regularly. They could also work as feeders for the longer lines.
>>1992023Americans like their cars.
>>1995958Americans like trains, too.
What is the most pleasurable airport to be a passenger in?Pic unrelated.
Do any of you have experience working a grunt job at an airport? DTW is nearby, and I've always liked the idea of seeing/hearing the commotion of machines and people on their missions while calmly stocking a snack shelf. Almost like an omnipotent observer.
>>1979941Welcome to the backrooms, airport edition
>>1980007> DTWagree DTW is nice but specifically the Delta Terminal (the one you are speaking about)>CLT Also agree, i was last there before many of the lounges opened up and there are no fucking comfortable seating. You are either sitting at the food court, getting rocking chair if possible, or standing. I was actually jealous of the soldiers going to the MIL lounge.

Is grant petersen's quote still true?
>>1995489Look at how angry you're getting over the idea that a fellow pudgy slowpoke might not actually be PROUD to be a pudgy slowpoke. I believe aussies call this "tall poppy syndrome". Go buy your $5000 surly from a washed up hippie in walnut creek, knock yourself out, just remember that to cagers you still look like you got a DUI and you're "blocking traffic", same as the rest of us.
>>1995498You don't know what tall poppy syndrome is. Nothing I said was bragging and I don't care how you want to ride your bike, only that you should have fun doing it, whatever that means to you. You're inventing your own persecution. Sometimes I dress up in full kit like the average club faggot and ride, most of the time I don't.On a side note I find the cagers are a lot more polite if I'm wearing athletic clothing, as opposed to full kit.

I took the tour at TVRM awhile back and I felt like the only railfan there. It felt like nothing more than a tourist trap for bored parents to bring their bored kids. I wish they'd get this beauty running.
>>1986282May 13th
>>1994139I like TVRM, it's fine that museums cater to normies because that's where the money is. If you want museums that cater to railfans find examples that don't have anything you can ride, that usually filters out everyone except people with a serious interest.

Ebikes should require registration and an active insurance policy. $15 million in liability insurance per bike, minimum, to cover the average damage they do every time they explode. That doesn't even cover the loss of life but it's a start. Possession of an unregistered ebike or unregistered parts such as batteries should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison and being banned from touching another ebike ever again. Second offense is life in prison, you can't prove me wrong.>but muh cost of deliveriesMuh cost of rebuilding the entire block after it was leveled and rebuilding the lives destroyed, cash me outside howbou dah?

>>1982619>>1982853Motor sailors are terrible motor boats and terrible sailboats. Just pick one.
>>1994032what's the difference between a motor sailor and sailboat with a motor? Every boat above 25' or so seems to have a big inboard anyway
>>1994112Usually superstructure looks more like a trawler, and sticks up farther from the hull. This is an issue for actually sailing >>1982906. Motor-sailers will usually often have a more powerful one engine than a dedicated sailboat since they expect to spend more time motoring.

I’m a pilot doing aerial work and approaching 1000 hours and I’m about to apply to a company, I have all my licenses and rating’s however since I graduated, I’ve only been flying VFR since there’s no ifr operations (even if I consider myself to be very good, If not better in IFR) but still tho, it’s been a year. Anyway, I feel like my knowledge in aviation has gone so low, like I feel like idk what I am doing but when I open the aviation books, I instantly know the answer. Like do you get it? If someone or an exam asks me, I’ll know the answer but otherwise I’ll be lost. Also are there any airline pilots that can tell me if the airlines train you well in terms of their operations and their IFR procedures and is it normal that 70% of the stuff I’ve studied in aviation, it doesn’t apply in real life. (For example I used to know the entire FAR AND CAR AIM by heart, now I know like 30-60% )
>>1992605>>1992611I'm in the same boat but takeoffs and landings are the only part in ok with. The rest of the time I'm paranoid about turbulence. Used to fly all the time with no issues, it's a new development since flying with my kids. I'm going to get a valium prescription for my next long haul flight.
>>1993508Thanks Ill try it.>>1993626I'm convinced alot of it has to do with having things you feel very responsible for the future.
I have Private and IFR Ratings in Heli and I am halfway through my helicopter commercial rating and yet I still feel like I don't know anything lol.
>>1990570Don’t worry anon, it’s kind of normal to feel like that at times, passing the assessment to get in an airline it’s gonna shake up things already since you pretty much have to superficially study the fcom of the particular aircraft that they fly plus getting the feel for it in a sim to not fuck up in the simulator part of the assessment (I recommend at least 4 hours of training before showing up to the evaluation).After that it’s like going to flight school all over again, they will expect you to know how to fly ifr and be capable of communicating and all that but you’ll be bombarded with new information, e learning, procedures, tech, regulations and dealing with hr for the documents and everything else, letting alone the fact that you have to learn how to fly with another guy that may or may not be an asshole.After that line training as well is gonna feel like day 1 of flight school, you’ll feel retarded at times but it’s all right you will get things with experience.I can tell you, it’s gonna be a real pain in the ass at first but you’ll enjoy it once you get in the flow of things.
