This isn't a very good thread unless you're gonna actually explain what you're doing.
What is the most pleasurable airport to be a passenger in?Pic unrelated.
>>1990698Just about any international airport in a place that has heavy tourism forces you to walk through the mini mall thing on the way to the gates. It only seems extreme at LGA because the curved path through the mall rubs it in your face that you're taking an indirect route, whereas at other airports you can tell yourself "oh those shops just happen to be here, in this long straight section where coincidentally there are no gates just shops for 1/4 mile that everyone has to pass through"
>>1990720You're right about the curved path being grating, but it's also that the whole thing is just another one of those "I <3 N Y" shops that there are a million of in Manhattan. Most of those airport mini-malls aren't exclusively [this place] T-shirts and snow globes
i recently tallied and I have been to over 200 airports on each continent (yes, including antarctica, though those stretch the definition of "airport")...here are the ones that really stand out..>TegelIconic in every way. I understand why she had to go, but that doesn't mean I'm not still pissed she's gone.>JFKIt is always kind of momentous arriving here, especially from overseas. No other port of entry has the same weight.>ORDScale beyond belief. It feels like the crossroads of the world. It's not convenient, but nowhere comes close to matching the spectacle.>WLGExtremely beautiful setting and always a memorable descent. Bonus points to all NZ airports for having no security on their Dash-8 or ATR flights.>KangerlussuaqCold War vibes that are off the charts. The whole town exists for the airport, and the airport exists to support all Greenland. It will really be sad when Nuuk opens up to big jets later this year, Kanger is really an event.>RotheraArguably the most beautiful place in the world. Seriously. Bonus points for always coming in on a Dash-7 too.
>Chek Lap KokTrash airport. Takes forever to taxi. Host airline has completely gone the tubes from one of the world's best to basically lame as fuck. Nothing remotely special about the airport itself, the fact that this soulless vapid dump replaced Kai Tak of all things is tragic. 2/10>Changimaybe its just me, but I don't get the hype. some parts of it are kinda pretty? I guess it looks better in photos. its a pretty average airport desu. nothing special. and im overall a pretty big fan of singapore itself and particularly singapore airlines>SFOpretty good, never feels too busy which is nice>MCII loved the old one for its quirky vibe, I'm sure the new one is soulless

I am considering getting one of these things, but the price is keeping me back, and some of the constraints, e.g.: wheels, proprietary parts, expensive accessories, etc... The thing that keeps me orbiting towards a Brompton instead of the countless chinkshit knockoffs is the reputation. It seems everyone has mods, solutions, know-how to how to get the best out of the Brompton.So what's your take /n/?
>>1989475The Bromptons are quite bumpy on bumpy roads, and not super forgiving. But the steel frames make up the stiffness. I will report back when I get mine.
I think >>1989433 is probably correct. I did notice considerable difference in smoothness, reducing inflation from the near maximum to lower half of reccommended range.In general, do smaller wheel sizes mean more sensitivity to overinflation?
>>1989475>I dunno why the frame integrated lock hasn't been designed.
in the uk we have this thing called cycle2work scheme, it's basically a way to get a bike on interest free finance with a discount that you need to do through your employer who gets a tax break.anyway, I already have all the bikes I'll ever need, but i don't have a folder, thinking of a brompton, could someone in the know talk me through the differences between c and p models? etc.are they any good off road? i like the look of the 12 speed.
>>1991806OP here, I'm about to receive my Brommie any day now. I picked the C model as it was nearly a grand cheaper in difference with the P. The C has 6 gears, but I think the P can have up to 12. The P tends to be lighter, and is more suited for regular picking up and carrying over stairs. I also think that the P might have titanium parts that contributes to a lighter build. I think the 6 speed has a remarkable range for what it is. And the weight doesn't seem much of an issue. If you have money to blow, go for the P.
That the track is narrower? That it's elevated (chicago already has elevated trains)?
>>1991694There's something about DisneyWorld and similarly universal theme parks that rub me the wrong way, but one exception is the layout and ambience of the 70s-80s high end resorts, and in particular the Contemporary.Ironically that "contemporary style" has slowly evolved into a sort of neo-futurism at this point as both monorails and that style of concrete high-rise complex has fallen out of use in new construction.
>>1991721she'll be alright. just pop a purple and blue filter on it, add a few palmtree clipart jpegs and use a generic supermarket Muzak clip as background music
>>1991733I'm confused which problem would be solved by ersatzing it.I think the Contemporary is alright in the contemporary as it is, unlike most stuff at didneywhurlAlso your description made me recall this video I haven't seen in years, enjoy (or not):https://files.catbox.moe/idagbg.mp4

How the hell does aircraft landing gear survive landing impact supporting almost 700,000 pounds? Is it Harry Potter magic?
>>1989887They are made of the strongest metal, diamonds
>>1989887Big strong metal. Smrt good hydraulics make gear take gear go brrrrr instead sproing and clap. Magnesium break get haha hot.
>>1989933This was already answered by the person you're replying to, they simply find ways to make the wheels withstand less force to begin with. They're taking a lot still but not nearly as much as you think.
You should Google it, it blew (hehe) my mind to learn that the tires are at 200 psi. I mean look how big that tire is! At 200psi!There's tough hard little pucks of rubber are there just to grip the runway. There's a lot of stress going from whatever the speed of a landing 747 is touching the non moving ground.

What does transportation think of these beauties. I personally like the e-flexer by stena
I live in Greece and work in shipping (not on ships).While Greek oceangoing shipping is known for operational excellence, deep generational understanding of market dynamics and so on and so forth, the Greek ropax market is the complete opposite: full of fat slimy bastards making bank on government subsidies and corruption, with poorly maintained ships and a history of bad business decisions as most of them have gone bankrupt every time they've tried to enter other areas of shipping.So I have a dislike for ropaxes because it's an oligopoly leeching off my taxes. Also everything onboard feels second rate. It's just a necessary evil if you want to go to an island with your car, or if it doesn't have an airport. We just tolerate them.
>>1991396Is that the one between Holyhead and Dublin?
>>1991479Well i looked it up and it is. It was comfy December 2022 when I rode it. Got hammered with a mate then drove home, kek.
>>1991478>While Greek oceangoing shipping is known for operational excellenceAs our Norwegian bosun was saying "Let's paint the ship well, I don't want it looking rusty like a Greek ship".I give it that Greek shipowners are good at making money, but they're famous for being stingy and having their ships barely maintained.

YRT and TTC fares now interchangeable within two hours. However, 900,000s immigrants have come within the last few years, worth the tradeoff?How are your trips anon?

Its really not adequate for how large and how populated the greater toronto area is, but its what we have. For me, I live in Richmond Hill so I mostly use the viva bus, and the go train to go downtown.
Why are there no container ports for the Great Lakes, like there are on the East and West coasts of North America?Why is it only used for bulk cargo at the moment?
Can you two just get a room and fuck each other already? The foreplay has gone on for too long
>Jones act>Jones act>Jones actDoes Canada have an equivalent that makes this impossible there too?
>>1991053Bot
>>1991103The Canadian version is the Coasting Trade Act. It has the same stipulation about Canadian flagged vessels getting preference in-between domestic ports, but in 2010 they removed tariffs on foreign-made ships, so Canada has a respectable fleet now. Also it’s more permissive of foreign-flagged ships to perform coastal trading if no Canadian flagged vessel is available, the US only allows it by Presidential waiver.
Holy fuck, why is there a /pol/ack who is calling everyone a chink? Stay on your containment boards, and jannies need to do their job.
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:1. COVID 19. Enough said.2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.3. Reddit. Enough said.4. Twitter. Enough said.5. British "people". Enough said.6. The d-tch. Enough said.7. The state of Utah. Enough said.8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.What were some other key moments?
>>1986668you don't actually have a bike do you
>>1970460Preach. It works both ways. Cyclists certainly don’t behave as though they are the most vulnerable road users. It’s a shame. Bikes should be fun and cheap transport. Let’s all maintain order and follow the rules of the road so there are fewer accidents and everyone gets to go home safely whether they’re on two wheels or four. Known tons of cool cyclists who ride responsibly. I like to ride in quiet areas for leisure on a nice day. Unfortunately a small group of entitled activists have utterly ruined the reputation of a genuinely great idea
>>1962645>muh safe space
>>1990025> cyclists who ride responsibly.You mean who stay off roads unless there is a 0% chance any motorist will ever see them and be able to get upset. That is what you people mean by this.
