Flew cross country when I was 10, summer '00. It was fucking awesome from what I remember being a kid, the flight attendants loved me and I got a tour of a 742 that I'll remember for life.
Spent a lot of time at airports through the 90s, dad travelled for business and grandma was a snowbird. Waiting at the gate, watching the plane arrive, and greeting whoever we were picking up right off the jetway are fond memories.

your whole family could go to the gate with you and hang out while you waited to board was the best thing other than not getting anally probed by TSA

DOJ just announced Boeing is in violation of their deferred criminal prosecution agreement for the Max crashes.

A woman who is in a sexual relationship with an aeroplane has revealed that she travelled abroad 30 times in the last year just to spend quality time with her lover.

Sarah Rodo, from Dortmund, Germany, found love on her first flight with a Boeing 737 - after an unfulfilling attempt to date humans.

Since then, the 23-year-old has also 'met' 60 figurines and three larger models who she considers part of a 'collective being' that she is dating, and so she often refers to her lovers as one.

Keeping up a relationship with an object requires real commitment.

The avid jet-setter is so loved up that she has booked 30 mini-breaks in the last 12 months just to be close to her original beau, the Boeing 737.

Despite their many trips together, Sarah, who identifies as objectum sexual [having a sexual or romantic attraction to an inanimate object], is heartbroken that she's never been fully alone with her partner.

Sarah said: 'I'm proud to be objectum sexual – it's a wonderful sexuality, the only sad thing is that I can't be alone with a real plane.

'I flew a lot in the last year to be with the Boeing as often as I possibly could, I took about 30 flights and always combined it with a city trip or vacation.

Happy 20th Birthday 4chan. I traveled to Fremont, CA to meet up with some dear friends and family and found out that the the Niles Canyon Railway was doing a steam excursion to commemorate the Bronco Billy Film Festival where they were showcasing silent-era films that were shot in Bay Area at the turn of the century so I booked a last-minute ride aboard it.

Will dump my album and go over some history of the railroad and its equipment below.

Europe is ahead with regards to this and its more cost effective than a full metro service which is unlikely to happen in major cities.

Have you ever been on a tram or a bus? Trams have much higher capacity, they are more quiet, they can be faster, wider, more space, more comfortable, you don't fall out the windows during aggressive turns, can encourage development along the line, etc. they are much better than buses

You mean those electronic markets where stupid people get rounded up by the hundreds every time a postal inspector gets bored, because dumbasses think "I don't understand this technology, therefore nobody understands this technology"?

You SURE you wanna use that example?

Yeah I think I'll just fly with my completely legal gummies instead of uploading a permanent electronic receipt of myself buying drugs that gets backed up to millions of servers simultaneously and forever but you do you.

I wish there were more transit of this kind however barebones it would have to be in the US. I was running the numbers on operating a private shuttle between two small cities that the local transit agencies seems to have no desire to connect, and even in the worst case scenario of expensive insurance and low ridership, I could make a modest living off of a running a twice-daily 30 mile long service that stops in all the small towns and villages along the way. Maybe this is all just completely obsolete in this day and age but I can't imagine anything more kino than living in a cozy hamlet and riding into the city over the country roads in one of these, stopping at the center of one stoplight towns and not interstate park and rides.

I wish we had these micro buses again. 20 seats, the back is low-entry which can be accessed with stollers or wheelchairs, trunk underneath has ample space for some luggage.

Too bad regulations say you must use large, 40ft long buses in transit nowadays except the roads are windy and tiny like in Switzerland.

Either standard 40ft, standard articulated ones or get a permission to use something like a 13-seater.

I rode with no helmet for years, and suddenly I got a "fast bike" and that sentiment changed.

People close to me nag the shit out of me when I just want to go for a cruise without a helmet. I know my path to work / neighbourhood, so it seems unreasonable.

But conversely, I'd be worried if they didn't wear one.
>>
other than looking like a fag (you already do, you are riding a bicycle) i can't really think of a reason not to wear one.
but seriously, does anyone look cool riding a bike? maybe the one guy on the cover of that real volume where he is riding on the seaside but that is not real life. mr romance looks kinda cool, but he smokes so maybe that just cancels out the fact that he's riding a bike.

Why are they so (apparently) hated? People seem to dislike the fact that they have to wait for the lights to cycle before they can cross the road. But isn't this literally how they work in other normal parts of the world??

Also why are they called this? Because you have to "beg" cars to be able to cross the road? Do Americans really?

Last time i was in the USA, i timed it and it took 6 minutes to cycle round to let pedestrians cross

Here is always immediately puts on red lights for cars and green man for pedestrians when pressed, worst case around 10 seconds

I don't mind them here, but in the USA it's a shitshow, especially as you need to cross 8 lanes of traffic, so jaywalking isnt really possible

I live in north italy. On secondary streets they tend to work on this sort of gentleman agreement:
Walkers don't push the botton
Drivers yeld and let them cross.
So, the outcome is favorable for both: pedestrians cross and drivers don't get a red light.
