How big can sail boats get? Is there an upper limit?
>>2061055.If the Earth is a flat one or that even if the Earth is round, and that the ship is built on space, then there's no upper limit. One thing is for sure in a spherical shape world, there's a limit if when built in a globe earth, a sensible normal, and the right scientifial limit.
>>2061545That's what the stays and shrouds are for - to support that weight.

>>2061574Fair enough, I guess the information I absorbed via cultural osmosis was incorrect.Though for the sake of OPs question the tallest mast we could build now would have to be made of carbon fiber or some kind of exotic alloy
>>2061608>Though for the sake of OPs question the tallest mast we could build now would have to be made of carbon fiber or some kind of exotic alloyProbably but it'd be well beyond any practical need for a ship you could think of.
Hear me out, we need one of these.

>>2061606I got tboned by a car while riding. All I remember is a loud bang, everything going black, then waking up on the ground surrounded by people while I'm bleeding from my head, going in and out of consciousness. We get to the hospital and on my way to the ER the Dr tells me "I'm going to perform an emergency internal bleeding check alright?" I half consciously reply "yuaghuhhgh" then BOOM I get a full finger in the butt and wakes me up fully conscious. I don't want to get hit by another car again
I was riding a shove on a tank car for about 15 miles back to the yard around 10PM, and some idiot in a sprinter van limo stopped on the tracks. I bailed off entering the crossing and we only barely missed hitting him because he inched forward at the last second. I was furious and went up to the driver window, pounded on it, and cursed him up and down with a bright headlight pointing right in his face.Near the same crossing(it was by a bunch of college bars) I kicked some idiot walking along the tracks in the back while riding the shove. I yelled and yelled before for him to move before, but he would have got clipped by the platform if I didn't kick him. He took a tumble but was drunk enough he didn't feel much. He gave me a fist bump and thanked me.

Building a bike with campy 11 speed groupsetIt seems that Shimano 11 speed cassettes have the same spacing to Campy 11 speed cassettes. But a few people say that it isn't "perfect" shifting but good enough.Is this true? I was looking forward to just buying shimano cassettes.
>>2061581jtek shiftmate compatibility charts comment on the question is that it can't be done. I'd tend to believe them by default. if you're building a meme gruppo just do it. if you want cheap and available cogs, just don't.
>>2061585I also checked JTEK and it says it works. I'm going for shimano since getting campy cassette with the ratio I want is difficult.

Confess your sins, /n/.
I look at working on my bike like a homo trying to do rape correction. I hate every minute of it, if it had a machine spirit it would hate every minute of it, but the result is a man-machine bond stronger than even Two Men.But the moment anything doesn't feel right while I ride I loathe the machine and dread working on it, actually doing the work fucking sucks, but there is an almost lustful pang of satisfaction once it all works out.

Why weren't these a thing more often in the heyday of railroads?>gives freight trains an additional source of income>passengers can presumably pay for tickets less since freight trains usually run on slower schedules>allows for mixed trains without the need to pull a coach from regular passenger service>can be coupled to the back of a regular passenger train during periods of high demand, the crew will enjoy the added privacy too>lonely freight train crews will enjoy the additional company>can be outfitted as extra crew accommodation when not in revenue service

What are you /n/iggas' thoughts on fake steam locomotives (i.e. diesels or cab control units rebuilt to passably resemble steam locomotives)? Decent way to honor/raise awareness of the history of steam when building/restoring an actual steam locomotive is impractical or a retarded tourist gimmick?Examples:>Day Out With Thomas replica engines (pic related)>Calico & Odessa Railroad>CP (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) Huntington clones that Chance Rides mass produces for basically every second-rate amusement park out thereBonus question: Would these ever be remotely feasible for mainline use. Say I wanted to resurrect the 20th Century Limited as a luxury train for rich LARPers and managed to convert/custom build a bunch of streamlined rolling stock but didn't want to spend 30+ years and billions of dollars rebuilding an actual NYC Hudson to pull it. Would rebuilding a diesel to resemble a Hudson be feasible or would there be no hope of it passing an FRA inspection?
>>2055911Good enough for Thomas the Tank Engine kid stuff.Sure it'd be nice to have an actual tank engine as Thomas but the upkeep on that would be crazy.
>>2057055They gave a Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal 0-6-0T a Thomas makeover and trailer it around to run at various tourist lines but I’m ok with that as there’s several other BEDT survivors.

low key been driving 10 years and im not sure who has to yield in this situation.Say you are at a red light and the light just turned green. does car 1 have to yield to the bus? or will the bus zipper in between 1 and 2?
>>2059968>>2060060Total zoomer death. They are completely retarded.
>light turns green>bus driver activates the left-hand indicator, thus communicating to nearby drivers that he wishes to change lane>1 and 2, seeing the bus and its active indicator, then slow down a little to allow the bus to slide in depending on their relative positionsMust there be a rule for people to point to and interpret and quibble over? Why not just act as necessary in the moment to ensure everyone gets along?
which intersection is this blud famaligam
Is the bus finished its loading completely, signalling, and starting to go forward/merge?Then 2 lets it mergeOtherwise 2 should also pass
>>2059973car 1 should never yield to the bus wtfget out of its way

It's insane how much noisier it got over just like one decade. I remember back in the 00s in the morning you could almost whisper with an almost full tram. Most where either still dozing off, looking out of the windows or reading newspaper. Now there are many super loud [redacted] talking loudly even when facing another, retards watching Tiktok over speaker instead of headphones, people talking into their phone while holding the phone 1m away from them with speaker on etc. Trams also rattle, clatter and squeal way more. Many feel like they're about to fall apart. It wasn't that bad at all back then. Basically you must have tight headphones on to fade it all out or you'll go insane.
