Add to that a complete lack of education (both at home and in schools), proper civil standards, accessible mental care that doesn't consist of pushing big pharma pills and you get the psychopaths that the US cranks out at alarming rates these days.

I don't know how to feel about this. I found it incredibly strange at first that they converted the seating arrangement to longitudinal and it certainly isn't a "metro" train just for that (Lagos already has a metro) but rather a commuter train it seems. I guess I find it less strange considering the number of high speed locomotives that are bought 2nd hand for commuter services particularly in America.

SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.
Sink day has moved into next year, "early 2026". A location has been picked, about 150-160 feet deep which will be about 12 miles from the wreck of USS Oriskany

>>2059142That would be a good technical dive.
>>2059158yah, saw that when I was looking for the sinking location. Said the ship “was a masterpiece to last forever … not to be sunk as a reef". Nope, it was not. And especially not without anyone spending money to keep it looking nice.

Hi Anons. I got my 100 ton license last spring and have been captaining sleds in a bay ever since. I want to get out onto the coast and do long voyages (overnights, ocean crossings, coastal, whatever, as long as it’s long distance)But I don’t really know where to apply or how to go about it. I have near coastal license. How do I go about this? If I get stuck in this bay my whole career I’m gonna kms.Wat do? Yachts? Cargo? Cruise ships? Private? Id be open to being a mate but not for the long term.
>>2042605If that’s really what you want to do, don’t let anyone stop you. But those are not meant for long term habitation. You’d have to get custom made electrical, galley, sewage, and I don’t think they come with a fresh water tank, plus I believe they only come with 24 hours worth of fuel if my memory serves me right. Good luck standing up straight in one unless you’re manletmaxxed. For all the money you’d spend, you might as well get a nice(ish) sailboat, that way when the wind is favorable you can move around for free, take it generally wherever you want, etc.
>>2051881Just give it time, Anon. Living on a boat is pretty much the opposite of living on land, it takes getting used to, so don’t beat yourself up for being an introvert. If they don’t understand, fuck em. Let your work speak for itself before you open your mouth, always.

Do you wear a helmet while riding your bicycle?
>>1964640>i have never seen anyone wear goggles with an angle grinderI put on some shitty lab goggles just to use my dremel. which is a good thing, because I've had two or three discs explode so far
Call me a cringe bitch but I kinda wanna get a new helmet for "casual wear". I feel so tryhard geekie wearing my aero helmet on a brompton. Any good picks? All the ones that look "somewhat" less geeky are the ebike helmets but that also looks too tryhard too.
>>2059174You're trying really hard to not be a tryhard...

>>2059179How else will you inform everyone that you're there for your daily kale ration?
Keep in mind this is for bikes meant to be loaded up. I guess a marketing exec at some point decided kickstands are for poors so no expensive bike can have them now, just like MTBs got stuck with Presta valves. They will literally drill 15+ holes just in case your bike bags use bottle bosses instead of straps, but outright refuse drilling 2 for a kickstand

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.

What was air travel like before 9-11?
>>2058931Security theater was a little more lax, but I find the biggest change was the loss of small(er) regional or shuttle carriers that didnt survive the years immediately after 9/11 with the precipitous dip in air travel that resulted from the attacks - or thats how it felt, anyway
>>2058963No, I visited the cockpit as a kid on Eastern Airlines (Disney World trip) circa 1991It really was still a thing until 9/11
>>2058931>I'm old enough to have been in a US Airport with no metal detectorsIt was neat. And you boarded planes via stair cars back then, no jetways. They boarded at the front and back doors as a result. But for about 20 years before 9/11, metal detectors were pretty much the norm at every mid-size to large airport, so the only real differences between then and now was you could take departures to and meet arrivals at the gate and you could take toiletries in your carry-on without worrying about sizes of liquid containers. I remember several times taking visitors to the airport, going through security with them, and eating a meal at a restaurant near the gate until their flight got called for boarding, and bidding them adieu.Also, as others have pointed out, the cockpit door was open all the time on flights.
>>2059124Some airports still have dual boarding, but it's quite rare nowadays.
>>2059124>But for about 20 years before 9/11People don't realize that after Pan Am 103, the UNABOMBER, the WTC and OKC bombings, security (or at least security theater) escalated significantly in the years leading up to 9/11.For example, the concrete vehicle barriers you see around government buildings mostly went up before 9/11, because of the WTC and OKC bombings.

>>2056996news shows and Internet videos need drama to get views.I live in a majority black city for the last 25 years. there have been a small handful of incidents with bad people, but I interact with black people most days and surprisingly not only do most of them ignore me, but the interactions have been unexpectedly pleasant. this is the South, so people are friendly in general. but black people are even more socially outgoing. I've had dudes jump start my car, different guys pushed my dead car into a parking lot, I was dead broke and one of the guys tried to get me a job(!) neither time did anyone ask for money or act anything other than friendly. I killed the battery on my friend's car and a black guy jumped it and I tried to give him $20 and he got offended and refused. a guy a couple days ago got all excited about my bike baskets and I told him what to search for to get some, he was super ghetto, too, even more than usual but nice as could be. I literally don't have enough space to list all the positive interactions.the shit you see on tv is the opposite of my experience except maybe 2 or 3 things the whole time I've been here.
