Downtown tunnel/"underground cities"/skywalk systems are literally everything urbanists seem to want--a pedestrian-oriented true "walkable city", linking commercial and residential buildings together, but they hate them. Why?

I'm looking to buy something on a budget to haul 15kg but the specs say maximum 10kg (5kg each) Are all budget panniers this garbage if you choose not to pay 200+ euros?
>>1990586how would you mount it to the front of a bike with a vbrake tho?
>>1990838honestly don't mount it to the front of the bike to begin with. it's much more convenient on the side of rear carriers. if you must have a front basket get something specifically designed for it with enough clearance for the brakes and solid mounting.
Just like most bike parts, look on eBay for some old used ones. You won't get waterproof options at a fair price but you can just line the inside of you bag with a black trash bag. Honestly it's a better solution than waterproof bags in any case if you ask me. Waterproof bags suck as bags compared to regular bags
>>1978462i tried these wire ones. pros: they fold away. cons: too slim to fit bulkier stuff like back packs. Even though their combined volume is equal to a milk crate, i can stuff more into a single compartment milk crate rather than 2 half sized compartments. also the height and location of the milk crate is more accessible in terms of retrieving stuff, and working on the bike, cleaning. lopsidedness of having just one side open as often i just need one side open for a few items. whereas the milk crate is never lopsided and don't have to balance the weight of items over two panniers.
>>1991213The problem with a milk crate is just having the weight so high makes the bike handle a bit weirdly over down low. Though I think this can be mitigated a bit if you load the weight on the front, I also don't really notice too much only having say one pannier on the front either.
I really wish to go to space, and i can either go for engineering or spacex will soon enough be able to transport and have a settlement for people to stay on the moon
If you want to go and aren't rich, you better be near the top of your field, and have a good personality. You could be a genius but if you can't pass the psych / physical tests they won't want you. A lot of the people that end up as astronauts are smart jocks. Outgoing, into team sports, sociable, and with brains.

>>1989652I hate to ruin your fun but there is a HUGE industry of fake recruiters offering scam jobs and bait and switch that bank on the fact that everyone is desperate to work at a brand name company and will gladly suspend disbelief in the hopes that this might be that one chance they shouldn't pass up. at best it ends up as the recruiting version of an MLM scheme where there's technically a "job" of some kind, and there's an extremely tenuous connection to the company mentioned, like it's a shop that once had a one-time contract to Big Company. often it's just a straight up identity theft ring or someone trying to build a database of "job seekers" to sell to otherstl;dr the image is basically the third world job seeker version of "hot women in Anonymous Proxy want to have sex with you now", there's approximately 0% that there is even a real job, anywhere, that the advertiser is in a position to fillalso fuck boeing

What's the best used bike I can easily find for under $300? I'm basically riding 1.5mi from my form to Walmart on a nice bike trail a few days a week.
>>1991043Are the trails 3rd world/dirt, or are they decently paved?Do you plan on doing winter riding too, or just summer+spring+fall?I already see some decent bikes, and 300 will get you a good bike that works.
>>1991043>Aren't these heavy as shit?You only feel weight when you're climbing My alloy Marin shitbike is 25lbs which is heavy but not ridiculously so.
>>1991043No, most hybrids that are quality are sub 30lbs.BSO's are 35+lbs and that is heavy as shit.Beyond that the marin has strong 36 spoke(low maintenaince) wheels, long cage+3x drivetrain(easy gearing), and thinner tires for easy speed compared to a mtb or bso.
>>1991037figsed geer
>>1991043>Aren't these heavy as shit?probably lighter than anything you've ever ridden. suspension is heavy. Walmart bikes are half-again to double what that pic weighs. Marin started as a boutique brand. that one might be later but it's still quality .you need to tell us how tall you are so we can rec bikes that will fit you.
Do you wear a helmet while riding your bicycle?

>>1979519This is accurate.In the past i've been forced off the road multiple times during night rides. Now, whenever i ride my bike at night, I usually mount a 7000 lumen flashlight to my handlebars in addition to my regular bike light. Whenever i get the feeling that oncoming cars are trying to push me off the road on purpose, i turn the dial up to full power and keep it on until I have passed them. They usually brake and or return to their lanes.
I always wear a helmet. TBIs can happen at shockingly slow speeds.

Totally random late night thoughtsAt the current known speed of travel throughout space (maybe not max) but at the speed the JSWT (telescope) reached the L2 zone in space. It would take 7291 generations of astronaut to reach some planet they believe has a civilization on it meaning it would take 324.7 Million Kg's of food for the entire journey assuming only 1 breeding pair or humans at any one time (inbred as fuck) 583333.3 years assuming 80 year lifespan which isn't including the 20 year overlap having 4 people on board whilst children are brought up to speed and left at age 20 by their dying parents. They would they be dead because the amount of inbreeding required at those levels would make them so fucking retarded they would forget how to breathe. In closing. Close to 700,000 years worth of life, 389.7 Million Kg of food (including the 20 year overlap) is what would be required to make it to that planetWe aren't making it to any other civlized planets before our finite resources are depleted. Humanity is fucked unless we come leaps and bounds in space travel and shielding technology.

>>1971504The concept of seed ships have been speculated in scifi since the 1960s. Essentially you send autonomous AI ships stocked with human sperm and ovum. The ship wanders the cosmos at "slow" speeds for hundreds or thousands of years until it finds a suitable planet. Then the ship AI inseminates thousands of ovum with the sperm and artificially birth the babies. Robots will become the surrogate parents and educate the children. Once the humans are ready, they will be transported down to the planet. The seed ship then departs to repeat the process elswhere.

>>1990743The 3% number sounds closer to what you'd get if you took the number of apartments currently listed as "available for rent" vs the total number of existing apartments. If someone owns an apartment but never places it on the market, that may or may not be considered "vacant" depending on whether you use MLS listing data or ACS census-style data

>>1990763Non-sequitur. Rent stabilization applies to old buildings. You're not from around here but when people talk about LIC they're not talking about art deco. This is what LIC looks like.
>>1990766I was just bringing up the rent control point because that's the current tiktok/twitter leftist reason as to why housing is so expensive. The notion that most of those new buildings in LIC is empty is ludicrous and unfounded.
>>1990789Ah yes deregulating the markets and removing price controls, that well known leftist take on market failures.

Why does the New York MTA cost so much money compared to other train systems? NJ Transit gives you so much more milage and it's literally just across the river.
you have no idea how much difference a river can make
>>1990652Graft.
If I recall correctly, the MTA retirement plan is an old style DB pension whereas NJTransit is a 401(a) which is much cheaper for the employerAlso in order to preserve the lie that the trains are "24/7", the fact that no line is ever taken out of service until a train derails or something important catches fire or a tunnel floods, there's no such thing as preventive maintenance and everything is still running on the original 150 year old technology. So you have to have standby crews of sub-subcontractors sitting around until the next emergency that prevents 20,000 people from getting to/from work, and then send the emergency crew to fix some burned out hand made glass fuses somewhere and then handcraft the replacements on the spot. And maybe there's 3 other fuse boxes nearby that are on the verge of breaking but nobody wants to touch them so they just wait for the next system outage to happen during rush hour when there isn't a junkie available to take all the trains out of service for having an overdose on the platform.
>>1990652it really doesn't. not sure what you're on about. if you're in nj it's more likely you'll have to pay extra fares for the different systems, like njt bus or hblr to path to mta subway. someone equally far from the city in east queens or nassau would be paying a single $2.90 for their bus to subway to subway ride. mta's flat fares are a godsend. chicago is the only cheaper system in the us worth comparing to, metra tickets and the cta and pace unlimited passes are much cheaper than mta.lirr, mnr, and njt commuter rail are all too expensive, but not too far off from other places in the world
What are your thoughts on this now that it may actually be built for real?

>>1986157Ganzirri is somewhat nice tho.>>1986119They're starting eminent domain expropriations, I only hope they don't start the excavations and leave it half done, that's the worst scenario.As someone said, given the specifics the project is more akin to aerospace rather than civil engineering, the winds are very strong in the strait and 3 kms span without middle pillars is challenging itself.
