>>2062770Good way to out yourself as the racist Once you commit to snitching you have to snitch everyone but then you will be outted as the snitch
>>2061444I’d say this guy gets it >>2061767But yeah from my own personal experience, the real learning comes once you actually become a CFI. All the training up that that point is just a vague base of knowledge but actually being the one to have to teach it and being the responsible adult in the cockpit really makes everything stick. The pay is shit, you do a lot of free work, it’s stressful, you won’t have any time. But it’s also fun and rewarding if you have a good mindset like the other guy said. Especially if you’re working for a decent flight school.
https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/major/151670-end-2025-salary-survey.htmlis it better to make more $$ by upgrading on a smaller airplane or fly less often to cooler places for less money? Captains make so much more money it seems hard to turn down
>>2063046I'll give you my take, which is a common but not a majority opinion.I make enough money in the right seat at [Big 3] airline, what I really value is not being at work. At min guarantee I make more than I can reasonably need, and I hate going in to work at the airport and despise flying the plane. I live in base, so being a commuter doesn't apply. Because I do the absolute minimum, don't pick up trips, and don't really care, I'm just a hands off guy that's sleepwalking through work. In my mind, being a junior Captain is similar to being a min effort, min guarantee FO. I make my min monthly rate but at a much higher hourly pay, doing the same job from a slightly different sitting position. I might as well take advantage of a better hourly rate if it's available, and in fact I'm expecting an upgrade sometime this year. I'm not working to see places, eat garbage, radiate myself at altitude, or wear a tie. I work this job for MONEY and top tier quality of life that I get when I'm home.A grindy FO would stay in the FO seat, get senior and suck off a ton of premium, work "more", play the scheduling system, and sometimes work less by running this gambit. It's like being a day trader, some guys like playing those games. For me, I'd rather be on 4chan at home looking at naked chicks and porno flicks from my desktop while drinking a beer.
I see you all are intimidated by my obvious superiority
>>2062871same is true of all the jap motorcycles and everyone else copying them.
>>2062869>>2062870Although the modern lambrettas do look nice, but in the end they're just poor man's vespas. if I'm getting something that looks like a vespa, I'll just get a vespa
OK I changed my mind. I'll get a GTS after all
>>2062912Nice choice anon. Swap the mirrors with barend mirrors for a sportier look..Let us know how you like it, topspeed, mileage,... im interested because i plan to get a 125cc scooter this year too.Dont like generic reviewers on youtube and trust anons on here way more.
>>2062868>Sure but that kind of car is going to need a lot more maintenance.lil bro doesnt own a spanner or CVD machine

Wow, took a yearlong hiatus from checking this thread due to the stupid 10 minute captcha thing but it looks like that's finally gone and been replaced with a slightly less obnoxious captcha? Cool, will start posting again. Well, diary, been pushing oil around NY for a year and a half. It's alright, and by alright I mean I kind of want to KMS when I get the call to start my hitch, but that's every job I've ever had, so I guess I'll keep going. But I also made a lot of money in the market so I have even less need to put up with work I don't like--kind of want to take an easier job somewhere in a nicer / more interesting place, even if it means a paycut. Alaska? Some Pacific islands working for the Navy? Idk. We'll see.
>>2062973The rates are very generous.I think they are looking for UK crew. Even for AB they are offering $400/day.
>mfw cleaning my bice and saw that my 45mm wide knobbies were chewing through my chainstay on my gravel bice for some timeordered some 40mm wide hutchinson overide (currently running 45mm Tundra), scared to ride as not to damage my frame further...the manufacturer said up to 46mm wide...be honest...am I retarded??
>>2062118>carbon bike not even once
>>2062138Aluminum is just as prone to it, especially from a tire full of grit. But yeah, I prefer aluminum or steel.
Cool blog. Where do I unsubscribe?
>>2062142>she doesnt know>>2062124forgot to take pic, but its not that bad after looking at it a week laterwhen I out on the new tires I will bump
>>2062138I had some chainstay rub once on a steel frame and it carved a notch in the paint AND caused a blowout from overheating. And it was 20 degrees fahrenheit not including wind chill so I had to fix it in those conditions. That was the day when I decided being a hard core all-weather commuter was overrated.

>>2061522>where's your Ede Stoiber Transrapid nowIn Peking. Like much of what was German way, way back.You can't "save the planet" and have a healthy industry, apparently.Socialism kills everything standing in its way, which is usually people wanting to do anything against the will of their Godfather, the state.That's why the Chinese version of capitalism wins against the German version of socialism.

>>2062968Come on. After years of the propaganda on TV and in the press, who the fuck could expect a regular winter?Anyone doing so would be considering a "climate change denier" and "anti-science".The solution to extend the usability of tickets to a whole year is the best thing DB could do in this situation.There is a lot of total nonsense happening in the Konzern, but this was a decent handling.

>>2041376>0.25Yeah he's either retarded or having you on. .25% is fucking nothing.Usually I'll leave my chains til either 1% or if they snap. Then ((IF)) the new chain skips on the cassette replace that. Never had to swap out jockey wheels or chainsets or anything, the units typically fail somewhere else before it becomes noticeable.Shop guys are fucking insufferable for the most part. Either booger eating fetuses who's last time on wheels was in a pram, or turbo tards who throw a hissy fit at any sign of someone actually using their bike as intended.
>>2041376Are you poor or something?
I bought an NJS frame. Does anyone want to make ignorant comments assuming that I have never ridden fixed-gear or that I don't know how JIS standards work or what toe overlap is or similar?Yes, I'll be riding it exclusively on the street.
>>2062911at least put some mtb bar ends near the top bend, or a Jones H bar or something so you can lay down power for climbs and speed.is that a nitto stem?

I recently bought myself a gravel bike, and I think I made a mistake with the size choice. I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I bought size L. I chose the bike for bikepacking trips. Please tell me, how badly did I mess up, and is there anything that can be done?I already tried replacing the 80 mm stem with a 70 mm one with a 35-degree rise, but it's still uncomfortable.If I move the saddle forward, my arms get tired; if I move it back, there's pressure on my crotch.I don't know what to do. Bike was really expensive, and I am really upset.https://www.welt-bikes.com/int/en/bikes/gravel/g100?srsltid=AfmBOoomWCwXCkpeF1BI4s7ouy8IFDwJIQXgkUoUts0BFH6O2xLu-IQ2
>>2062853the dude got one of those adventure gravel bikes with enduro tier stack and not a performance road bike
>>2062854Exactly. So, should I adapt it, or there is no other options then sell it?
>>2062719>I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I bought size LWhy? Look at the Effective top tube height, that's really long.I'm 181cm and my bikes are usually either Large/53-54cm top tube length and it still feels like it's too large for me. I also apparently have weird proportions (shorter legs/long torso) which makes the exposed seatpost really short.Try buying compact dropbars (short reach) or 0 offset seatpost.Long story short, try out the bike before buying it.>but I'm buying onlineTry a bike with similar geometry from your LBS
>>2062858>he thinks bike shops still exist outside of california
>>2062858>Try buying compact dropbars (short reach) or 0 offset seatpost.Do not buy shit until you know where the fuck your hands should be.
Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2062273I also love Sexual Assault
>>2062272Not in any major cityIt is as common as snow in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil or any mostly tropical/subtropical country
The smaller boards are always nicer. Compare >>>/diy/, which is helpful, with >>>/g/, which is visibly mentally ill. My main board is >>>/sp/, which is the most fun but it's full of incredibly repetitive spam threads. You could also compare >>>/co/ cartoon threads to >>>/tv/ cartoon threads. One is comfy and interested, while the other is frantically trying to just yell NIGGERS as many times as possible.
>>2047059Because the faggot janny bans you if you say anything negative about other races
>>2062879can confirm, i post in /ck/, /g/, /diy/ and now here and the larger the board the more mentally ill. but that's a good thing because the big boards will happily tell you you're wrong even if you're not, and then you will spend a lot of time learning to gather evidence for your opinions, to defend clear facts, and to even prove where you were or were not at a given time.
How big can sail boats get? Is there an upper limit?
>>2061721What about rotors? There are several ships which use them. Can those sail upwind?
>>2062043iirc Flettener Rotors work best when sailing upwind but need to be powered, so are more for providing modest fuel savings rather than 100% of the propulsive power like youd get with a more conventional sailing rig
>>2061055The problem with sailing ships is that you can't stack containers on the deck. They would have to be xbox-huge to offset that drawback. Technically, it's not that big of a deal, but practically it will cause some issues. Upper limit is dictated by the layout of harbors, bridges, etc.
>>2061485the Earth is only holding the future of sail back

Why was this thread removed from /sci/ ?
This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjFOYLAtoEBoth the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing. But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.

>>2061418>But has any hybrid used both engine and motor for launch?Technically any of those with planetary gears can do it. Those without still need to deal with the fact first gear is the most ineffective, and usually worst geared. Then again>When anemia comes on slowly, the symptoms are often vague, such as tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and a reduced ability to exercise.[1] When anemia is acute, symptoms may include confusion, feeling like one is going to pass out, loss of consciousness, and increased thirst.Without being anemic is a very straight forward sentence. It just has the problem that it has been mogged by Tesla introducing normal BEV acceleration.The Prius drives like a dream compares to some of the ultra shitboxes that only exist due European car culture combined with higher MPG vehicle trends.
>>2061421If starter/alternator weren't abandoned to drive belt for failure insulation, it could have been starter /alternator/power assist/harmonic balancer/flywheel. New prius finally looks good. Still an idiotic living room on wheels....
>>2061362>Aren't hybrids backwards? It should be electric assist for launch, then ICE on a parabola for cruise?electric motors and batteries were shit at the time so it wasn't economical. now that they are good, there no reason not to have a full ev instead of a hybrid. by like 2010 you could have just had A FUCKING LEAF instead
>>2061424I looked a used leaf 5 years ago, it was still 8K....batteries have 92 times less energy density than petroleum.
