>>2061591the worst time i ever fel tin the navy we were doing a fire exercise, and being all gung-ho i put whatever firesuit "fit" onwe got in there and i couldn't move after kneeling down once. the suit was just too tight. i got into some posture I couldn't get out of and spouted "I CAN'T MOVE!!" and the guys in the space suspended the exercise. I felt really bad because really it was literally just that my pants were too tight to get back up after kneeling. so the red hats stopped the whole thing (at least in that space).but i learned an important lesson myself. only take gear that fits. the ship can burn to the fucking waterline. you won't help it not do that if you can't even move because your gear is too tight. you're useless to the team if you can't move around properly because you tried to put on the first thing available. and even then, it probably won't even work to keep you from burning to death if it's all pressed up from being that tight on you.

>>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

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.

>>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.

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.

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.

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.
