wheel chair for the future design. I cant draw it any better than this :( This is how you dismantle the gas chamber.It's like a normal wheel chair but we can easily go up in to the alpine resorts where the nazis go to hide.It's the wheel chair for the future because the level of neurotoxins being pumped by the gas chambers on hitler's high ways stretched across the pacific north west is not filterable with a standard gas mask. we would need oxygen tanks to filter gas chamber exhaust. It's called the wheel chair for the future because the white american nazi gas chamber police will not stop beating the shit out of me when I correctly point out the white american nazi gas chambers. The trees dont filter the air, they just block the wind from carrying the gas away. 1 adult tree only absorbs 48 pounds of co2 per year MAX but burning 1 gallon of gas in the gas chambers produces 20 pounds of permanent co2. In washington state the cure to seeing the gas chamber is to pretend you never saw it.
>>2066102All I need is a motor to replace my old, weak ass.
>>2066111You might become extremely jacked. I don't like to not peddle... A throttle lever lets you dance along with the power of the machine. Hall effect sensors have infinite precision. I liked playing around with a really long throttle lever and cruise control and I enjoyed it a lot.I have the habit where I never stop pedaling from the fear that the white american nazi gas chamber police will beat the shit out of me on my wheel chair to herd me in to their gas chambers by asking me how much power my wheel chair for the future generates after the nazis roll up on me in a 5000 pound gas chamber on hitler's old high way. The only right thing to do is try to run away but then the nazis beat the shit out of you or shoot you.... After the nazis beat the shit out of me in utah, I switched back to the 25 amp 48 volt battery management system because it wont cut out like the 15 amp battery management when I'm trying to get away from the white american nazi gas chamber police.I dont like to push it over 746 watts because the motor is only designed for 500 watts and the transparent speaker wire I am using is not too thick. I know the wheel chair can handle more than 746 watts but I dont like doing it unless I need to get away from the white american nazi gas chamber police. The cable is transparent and we can see no overheating issues.. If it's not for a long sustained period I'm not worried about it. For getting away from the white american nazi gas chamber police it's perfect. You cant get away from the white american nazi gas chamber police on a 15 amp BMS on a 48 volts. The power cuts out and the white american nazis run the gas chambers use the tasers beat the shit out of me on the ground and herd me in to the gas chambers where I will be their enemy forever.It's also good to pedal on the wheel chair for the future because then you get more traction from the 2 wheel drive! I wanted the 2 wheel drive to handle the snow in utah but there wasnt any more snow there.
Look I have to come clean with you guysI've been advocating ebikes for twenty years as part of a fiendish global conspiracy to inconvenience drivers, terrorize pedestrians, and supply homeowners and landlords with as many tacitly dangerous incendiary "batteries" as can be manufactured.

How is it that 50 years after the invention of the Concorde we still don't have universal ubiquitous supersonic flight everywhere? The Boom XB-1 even solved the sonic boom noise issue and yet nothing is happening with the tech. Why isn't this being fast tracked by airlines and governments everywhere? And don't give me that bullshit about fuel costs being too high. Supersonic flight uses 2x the fuel at most and fuel is like 10% of the cost of a flight, so ticket prices would barely change. Most people would probably gladly pay 50% more for a plane ticket if it meant getting there twice as fast.
>>2066058Like flying all the victoria secret models....
>>2066058>climate-neutralThat's the big lie. Same as here in Canada, it's all just veiled marxism which itself is just veiled corporatism.
>>2064690>Supersonic passenger travel is a novelty without the economy of scale,This. And it will inevitably require a public/private investment. The optimum price point is probably where a few insanely rich people can afford to shave a few hours off a flight. Probably just enough to justify business jet sized planes.Now Cletus, who buys the cheapest airline ticket possible and flys wearing flip-flops and a wife beater will ask why his tax dollars (Cletus is actually too poor to pay taxes) went to build that supersonic plane that he'll never se thd inside of.
>>2065951Its a L-59 Albatros. I cant find any operation numbers for you, but is that true for though tiny Honda jet engines too?
>>2066110>is that true for though tiny Honda jet engines too?Engine maintenance programs on very light jets are probably $50-200/hr.
Two trains collided into each other, at least 21 dead. Developing story.
Now that the dust has settled, what made this happen?
>>2065817It seems a rail broke and fell on its side while the train was passing by. Why did the rail break? I've lost track of the investigation
>>2065826>Why did the rail break?a train hit it
>>2065817It seems there was some problem with the welding and the rail broke.
>>2064176There has been a lack of proper investment in commuter trains for over a decade, and now we are seeing the effects of that policy

Is it worth trying to become a pilot, or will everything be AI by the time you have your license?
>>2064241Airliners will be hiring military fighter pilots as the military keeps closing down squadrons they can't afford to replaceAnd they'll be going to 1 pilot soon enough
>>2064232Stick and rudder skills are at the bottom of the list for the title of PILOT IN COMMAND. Airlines want a captain not some AI
>>2064226no, why would u ever have a pilot when u can just use AI to generate a Better Reality
Statistically speaking, fully automated systems are safer since they can eliminate human error, and with unmanned aircraft already in use, it's technically feasible.However, it will likely take many years for the FAA and passengers to accept it. Even 30 years from now, single-pilot operations might not be permitted.
FAA cannot properly staff a safe number of air traffic controllers. Unless major changes made, I cannot see it implementing something like that in the near future. Even still, I think you would want at least one pilot
If steel is so great, why do the companies that make the best steel tubing in the world use carbon for their forks?If steel is so great, why do the finest steel bikes in the world use carbon forks?It seems to me that steel has an aesthetic value that cannot be substituted by anything else, but as a material for building bikes, its value decreases the more that is demanded of a component.
>>2064394it's definitely heavy by modern standards, but I don't think it's terrible or anything. I have an old aluminum framed Trek road bike that weighs similar and I consider that to be my "fast" bike, since my daily beater is cromo and has full racks and fenders.from this perspective, it's cool to me that you made a disc steel bike at that weight for only $300, but I guess that's another way of saying how behind the times I am.also, I weigh my bikes with a super cheap analog luggage scale, probably not the most accurate but surely within a pound/half-kg or so
They don't make amputee replacement legs out of steel. Just sayin'
>>2066034if you're a paralympic sprinter, they definitely make yours out of carbon fiber.if you are an amputee who weighs 250 pounds plus and work as a janitor, they probably go for steel
>>2066041>if you are an amputee who weighs 250 pounds plus and work as a janitor, they probably go for steelno, they just dont make you the Portal Legs and give you a fucking barbie-ass fake leg made of polymer and aluminum that somehow works worse than a 1700s pirate's peg leg (but is more Inclusive<3)

>>2065325hehI was on that blue boat>>2065431depends on a lot, including your luckI think I had decent luck, cause it was never really bad on the ships I was onyou can really tell when they've gone past the date where they should have resupplied though...
Hello, first time posting here. I've revently aquired my MMC. I've got a TWIC card and my passport is coming soon. I want to travel the globe as a deckhand. I already have 7 months previous experience as a deckhand. I wanna work on a ship that goes across the ocean. Does anyone know of a company that's hiring?
Should I go back to the navy? I got at least my gunmetal SSI, so I'm not a real Sea Man. Should I remuster to weapons enginering or somethingor become a real big boy comms tech or some shit? This is obviously the only thing I can do and feel even vaguely competent towards. Even the stuff I was on boats for is not especially useful; I was in comms. I did some line-handling and force protection as required but what the hell do I do now
>>2065611No, but Maersk has some US-flagged ships doing long haul.Worth a shot, I guess, but I imagine the competition is insane considering what US seafarers make... I don't even know what the deal with those are cause they just can't be even remotely competitive. Are they just hauling weapons for the government?
>>2065611You also need a bunch of STCW certs to sail international. There are previous few commerical US flagged deep sea ships. The vast majority of american mariners who do deep sea sail with Military Sealift Command. USN auxiliar ships basically. The hiring process is glacial and opaque, but eventually you'll get all your training for free and all you pay is your sanity from an 18 month contract and spending your time with darkies from jacksonville who make up 99% of MSC unlicensed crew.
Mexican railways thread? The government of Mexico is trying to bring back long distance passenger routes and building light rail in the Mexico City metropolitan areaRailway history in Mexico is actually very interesting. They used to have a national railway company called FNM after they nationalized all the railroad companies in 1908, until the 1990s when they privatized it. >Isthmus of Tehuantepec railway - three lines >Buenavista to AIFA airport to Pachuca intercity railway>Texcoco to La Paz light rail >Costeno, Jarocho route revival>Mayan Train
>>2064734wouldn't it make more sense to have an overlaying suburban network with bigger gaps between stations like in Paris? alternatively quadtrack some parts of the network and run express metros
>>2064673The only one I see fulfilling at 100% its functions is the Saltillo-Monterrey line and that's because that train will actually work as a commuter train as well.
>>2065730Mexico City metro is actually already built to a huge standard, with trains of up to 9 cars and rather distant stations. There's really not much you can do other than build even more subway lines.I think one of the problems is surface transportation being a complete clusterfuck. Who wants to take a microbus or pay I think it's 6 pesos for Metrobus when you can take the metro for 3 and be faster. If they had a unified system with standard fares at least it would spread the load evenly, and a coherent surface transport system would help too. But again>MexicoNothing is ever coherent in Mexico, it's an improvisation on top of a patch with a quick fix and within a workaround.I'm not even trying to be mean, it's what makes Mexico such a fun place, but it works terribly for public transportation.
>>2065701how many of those people even venture more than 5km from their hotel? most 'cun tourists are just there for warm weather and free flowing booze, they're not going to venture out into the scary outside worldsomeone should make me dictator of mexico and I'll show them how to make a train route

yeWax or Oil?What do YOU like better?I don't wanna listen to the youtube silca shills
I'll be honest, I just use pic related on my chains. It's WD-40 branded but it's a proper chain lube. Never had issue with it
>>2064374yeah, people argue over minutiae when it comes to lubes, but the important part is that you use something, let it soak in and then wipe off the excess (which your product says to do, even if the normies who buy it probably don't/don't read directions,) and keep your chain reasonably clean.everything beyond that is nitpicking at best, and autism/picking internet fights at worst.
>>2064452Incorrect, everyone who does it my way is a pragmatic genius and everyone who does it another way is either a slob or a mentally ill autist
Not worth obsessing over, chains are practically free and I've been dabbing them from the same bottle of finish line for like ten years. how many watts am I losing? 2?
I'm going to hurt some feefees with this but your shitty diet costs you waaaaaaaay more watts than your lube choice

"Wofür ist das?"-EditionAnything public transport in German-speaking Europe is fair game.
is there an alternative to bahn.guru? I used to love using that to find small destinations from wherever I was staying at (or planning to travel to), and also just to explore rail networks. I don't think it'll come back so I need an alternative.
>>2037920I used to use the S7. The town I live in for the last 30 years is getting promised an extension of the final station to our town. 30 years so far and they still argue, plan and "do" shit and its still only in the planning phase. Bureaucracy is killing this country. Realistically its getting done in the next 7-8 years. I will be in my mid 40's and the first time I heard about this project was when I was 10. I swear to god...

>6000 von 14000 Mitarbeitern werden bis 2030 entlassenDB Cargo hat wirklich konsequent alles falsch gemacht.Das lässt sich im Nachhinein immer leicht sagen, aber das haben hier eigentlich alle auch schon im Voraus gesagt.Aus meiner Sicht war in den letzten Jahren die fehlende Verzahnung mit der (ex-)DB Schenker ein schwerer Fehler.Das war eine potenzielle Goldmiene, die von unfähigem Management sowohl innerhalb des Konzerns als auch von staatlicher Seite zur in Flammen stehenden Bruchbude umfunktioniert wurde. Toll gemacht!
