>Cirium data shows that 637 jets with GTF engines were in storage on 1 April – 32% of the total fleet (1917 total)

20% of Spirit's fleet is grounded ATM due to Neos with engines that can't help ACKing themselves from the fan blades exploding. I'm literally sitting next to a 4 year old JetBlue A321N that's been out of service for a year for the GTF issue. 737 Max is unironically more proven at this point at least their jets are still flying...if Ryanair can do USN carrier style landings every day at Madeira with them no issues then its a good plane.

well except the whisteblowers

Today, Bay Area Rapid Transit formally retired the last of its original rolling stock that had been in service since the system opened in 1972. The occasion was marked by speeches from BART officials and a farewell excursion between McArthur and Fremont (where the very first train had run on September 11, 1972). I was there and rode the last train.

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.

I've been following Tour Divide for the past year. Basically the most competitive runners use SRAM eagle. and basically they have constant issues.

apart from consuming batteries like a 90s camcorders, and having to keep them constantly topped up, they die suddenly, batteries die to cold, to heat, to moisture, chargers die, shifters die. And so on.

BUT, riders keep on using them because they can install additional triggers on aerobars and they are not so tiring on the hands.

/n/ has always traditionally been full of total casuals who either can't or won't do the work to actually improve, and like a bucket full of crabs, they can't stand the idea of anyone rising above them and getting out of that bucket, so just like crabs they'll do anything to drag you back into the bucket down with them.
If you go to the expense of actual cycling-specific technical clothing, that means you care enough about your career as a cyclist to dress appropriately for the sport, and generally you're going to be doing work on some level to improve yourself overall as a cyclist, whether it's for just recreational or commute cycling, or if you're actually thinking about competing. The rest of /n/ seethes because they can't stand being reminded that they're fat, weak, and slow, and haven't got the ambition or personal discipline to even try to improve themselves.

The best bikes for deliverymaxxing are unironically 90s mtbs adapted for street riding.

Custom built with light tubing, stripped down to the bare minimum it's easy to get one to sub 10kg, narrow bars these bikes will fly through traffic and handle all the shortcuts, steps and cobbled alleyways and still last for 30 plus years.

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.

If trains were better than cars then why would people ever switch?

>>2003963
because they gradually became worse. people still rode trains a lot until the 50s when cars had been around for a while. and by the time america had nearly entirely abandoned them in the 60s, japan already had trains going 220km/h
>>
>>2002982
Wrong. You need to have mixed use all around the station area, and then dense commercial use at the station itself. That's how Japan does it.
So unless you're about to rebuild all the hollowed-out american cities it's just not going to work out, sorry.
>>
>>2003972
I literally said replace the parking lots with mixed use, which is apartments and retail, maybe even a mall nearby which has been done in many places and is a successful way to get people to take transit there.

>There's no reason why people can't just buy a bicycle with low gears
>It will never catch on there because of stupid laws such as no sidewalk
You pretty much indirectly answered your own question here. People don't want to pedal flat out up a steep hill making miniscule progress while some boomer aggressively accelerates past mere inches from you. I hate it too, which is why I never cycle uphill on a busy road, instead I jump on the footpath if it's wide enough and gets very little foot traffic, or find a better route with a less busy road.
I know some roads with dedicated bike lanes on hills solely for going up which are a really good idea.
Also I don't know if you live here in Aus but the idea that you're actively stopped or policed from riding on the footpath or wearing a helmet is a total meme. It's really not enforced, I've ridden past cops without a helmet multiple times. They do do raids occasionally but here in Sydney I don't think they've done it for at least five years.
And most people are wearing helmets for their personal bikes anyway, it's usually only sharebikes where people can't be bothered.

I got a job at an Amazon warehouse. The commute is 45 minutes. Most of the commute is on the interstate through a metro area and I have to go across a big ass toll bridge.

If you factor in that long commute time as part of your daily work ($16.50*8/9.5 = $13.89) you're probably better off finding a job that pays less but is closer to where you live now.
