>>2056715Would have taken you 33 minutes by the 1954 timetable. Although the off-peak frequency of trains every 40-45 minutes has some room for improvement
Cyclists of /n/, do you wear a lot of loud obnoxious advertising logos on yourself when you ride?

I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to in life and now I have no purpose. The girl that rejected me 5 years ago when I was 17 still hasn’t found anyone and I’m pissed off. She knows I liked her and now I’ve absolute lookmaxed and money maxed. She still is a poor npc with no job. Anyway, she’s a normie unlike me. But everything I think about her I want to kill everyone around me. I hate how humiliated I feel every SINGLE DAY. I’ve been mistreated my entire life, I want to have some power, I want to have respect.
>>2055991>I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to in lifeWow you were aiming low it seems.
Accomplished everything you wanted and still care about some bitch. She’s missing out on a good life, so stop giving two fucks about her.
>>2055991literally just get a gf bro and your past wont matter anymoreyes its that easy
>>2055991>22 year RJFag >has "accomplished everything" Grow up

>>2056625you won't get thrown over the handlebars, when you stop pedalling the rear wheel starts dragging, the front still rolls. it's basically like having just a coaster brake, which is why the slightly less retarded fixie riders mount a front brake.>>2056633>>2056648is cube really that bad?>>2056666that's a drawing bud, it's not real

I was thinking of picking up one of those cheapo Aliexpress carbon forks, but my buddy probably rightfully talked me out of it due to safety concerns.Where should I buy an affordable carbon fork in 26" for rim brakes (in Yurop)?
>>2055053I'd kinds beat on them, they're meant for a gravel bike.
>>2052080I'll buy a carbon saddle or seatpost from chinkmarket with little thought. I'll even buy carbon rims, with a little bit of research first. I'd never fucking buy any kind of suspension from that shit, unless there's a mountain of western based reviews, and even then I'd be hesitant.
Had some carbon chink forks and they didn’t explode but the loud creaking noise while braking really put me off and i removed themBought a really expensive bike instead fuck shit bikes
>>2055137>I'd rather be impaled than breaking my jawsBtw have both a chink carbon fork and seat post (picrel)
My Chinesium (alu) fork has made it through customs. I'm so stoked, guys. Only a couple of days left!
hello /n/, i’m a so called mechanical designer (shameless larp) that makes trains half the time.i’m constantly seeking inspiration to base things off for my fictional railway, mostly locomotivesany sort of piece of rolling stock of any era and country is appreciated
>>2054330Sad that this Gigakino is long gone, however the closest thing still in existence is the Trieste tram, which has a funicular section where the tram cars are placed above a dummy car and then run as funicular for a stretch, to then continue on as normal trams.
Double decker streetcars were rare in the U.S. The “Broadway Battleship” in New York was a one of a kind experiment that only lasted a decade.
>>2054465But it was a hundred years worth of kino. Wish one would of been preserved.

Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc. SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.
>>2048275>or as public transitNah it's clapped when they do that
>>2048275The tires are surprisingly dry for how wet that street is
>>2048426mhmm.
>>2048426That's why cults use them to transport their members
>>2051821Isn't that a french mail truck
What model of bus is this? At first I thought it was a GM New Look Bus but the windows are all wrong. This was filmed in Taipei during the late 80sThat ribbed stainless steel look is so sexy
This has been driving me insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbGKkuruvygHere's the movie
>>2056583Oh shit I might have found it
>>2056584So that livery on the side is for Diaoyu Bus, I'm checking through their rolling stock list nowThe badge seems to be a Hino but I still need to find the correct model
>>2056585I wonder if the name has anything to do with the islands that Taiwan and Japan can't agree on the ownership of
>>2056586大有巴士 Daoyu Bashi - Great Bus釣魚岛 Diaoyu Islands - Fishing IslandsI found something that looks vaguely like this, a Hino RC420, but it doesn't have the ribbed stainless steel exterior...https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/149063679
When the FUCK is the Northeast going to get High Speed Rail? Why does it take 9 hours to go from Pittsburgh to Philly? 4 hours to go NYC to Boston?
>>2050745How was faking a moon landing a collective victory for the people who would be sold crack from the same government later.
>>2050793I've never personally flown with checked baggage. Its my understanding you can only do this if you can afford to replace everything in the bag every time cause the airline will disappear it.
>>2050946The airline of course wants you to show up 2 hours early cause its convenient to them. Since i'm not a woman I don't care what they want.
>>2056562Anerican's CEO for 20 years recommended to his own family to never check a bag.
>>2056575exactly the other anon's insistence on checking a bag is actually a red flag that indicates that he is the one who has flown a handful of times in his life and it isn't part of his regular routine.
Flight attendants were required to be hot and single until you know who ruined it in the mid 1980s
>>2054626it was sustainable. most women's jobs now are fake jobs like product manager that exist so they can hire attractive unmarried women in their 20s to be office decorations>>2054628they wanted to ruin everyone else's shit
>>2054631the groups that originally sued were married women and mothers, not the union, retardo >>2054632they literally do it now with fake jobs, you stupid tranny. I'm sure you've seen the fake jobs women have
>>2054626>This wasn't realistically sustainable.That's how it worked for decades
Flying 121 airlines then was about as exclusive as flying 135 today. The experience hasn’t changed actually, you just cannot afford it (just like you couldn’t have afforded it in 1970).

Can /n/ help me out with my pet project?I'm trying to design a modern turboprop flying boat transport that seats 80 passengers in a 5-abreast layout. It would be powered by two PW150's in an overhead push-pull pod similar to pic related, but with a V-tail to keep clear of the propwash, and retractable wing floats. The wings will be unswept with a front taper.On my to-do list is to decide what de-icing, radar and hydraulic systems to use, but one problem I haven't been able to work out is how baggage would be loaded on to the plane if the cargo hold sits below the waterline.
>>2054413Indeed.
>>2051803i have this neat little idea based around maritime laws.. since laws on tiny planes usually differs around the globe but laws around ground effect planes tend to stay relatively copy pasta. not the best picture, made another but no clue where i saved it.-> use canards as walkway to enter flying kayak> use chopped down glider wings as addons for legal ground distance purposes.> air intake for engines are under main wing, main wing is not shaped like usual wings as its made to create an air pillow, glider wings provides extra lift where as the canards simply stops you from stalling or doing backflips (like these things tend to do) again, the idea isn't to do anything magical, simply just work around laws to create a product that can be used all around the world and still be licensed as a boat.. meaning that you don't require much (if any) training.

Why don't they anodize aluminum aircraft? Surely it would be many pounds lighter.
>>2056292AUGHT BOYZ, DIS GIT IS A PROPPA GENIUS
the paint on planes improves aerodynamics and protects the surface from wear and those two benefits far outweigh the loss in efficiency from the weight, but entirely for the economical reasonsit is more efficient to fly without paint, the aerodynamic benefit of paint filling in all the teeny tiny little gaps and imperfections and smoothing out the transitions of surfaces isnt enough to overcome that benefit of weight savings on its ownbut the added durability and resistance to corrosion (aluminum DOES corrode just not like iron/steel does) means the maintenance cost is lower
>>2056423Also anything composite needs paint so the resin doesn't get degraded from UV exposure
>>2056292>not yellowPoorgrots need not zoggin' apply
Akchually the best paint for plane performance isn't paint at all, but a layer of replica shark scales.

>>2054419Yeah cause there's plenty of space, that's the preferred format because it allows for more switchout tracks. They only do separate sides when the track area is narrow.
