Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2062273I also love Sexual Assault
>>2062272Not in any major cityIt is as common as snow in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil or any mostly tropical/subtropical country
The smaller boards are always nicer. Compare >>>/diy/, which is helpful, with >>>/g/, which is visibly mentally ill. My main board is >>>/sp/, which is the most fun but it's full of incredibly repetitive spam threads. You could also compare >>>/co/ cartoon threads to >>>/tv/ cartoon threads. One is comfy and interested, while the other is frantically trying to just yell NIGGERS as many times as possible.
>>2047059Because the faggot janny bans you if you say anything negative about other races
>>2062879can confirm, i post in /ck/, /g/, /diy/ and now here and the larger the board the more mentally ill. but that's a good thing because the big boards will happily tell you you're wrong even if you're not, and then you will spend a lot of time learning to gather evidence for your opinions, to defend clear facts, and to even prove where you were or were not at a given time.
How big can sail boats get? Is there an upper limit?
>>2061721What about rotors? There are several ships which use them. Can those sail upwind?
>>2062043iirc Flettener Rotors work best when sailing upwind but need to be powered, so are more for providing modest fuel savings rather than 100% of the propulsive power like youd get with a more conventional sailing rig
>>2061055The problem with sailing ships is that you can't stack containers on the deck. They would have to be xbox-huge to offset that drawback. Technically, it's not that big of a deal, but practically it will cause some issues. Upper limit is dictated by the layout of harbors, bridges, etc.
>>2061485the Earth is only holding the future of sail back

This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjFOYLAtoEBoth the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing. But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.

Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.
>>2061928> Ah yes ahmed now that we have followed this graffiti artist to a train yard that spans for block and blocks openly we can complete our duty to allah and make the pigs pay by writing our names on the containers!you're such a pussy just say you're scared and shutup
>>2058177i've never heard of it by that name but it's pretty well known that it's a thing. people even joke that you have to keep bathroom stalls clean because once the first child draws a little stick man in there, it's fucking over conversely, if you get some particularly talented vandal to just do a huge mural, vandals are less likely to write over it, and sticker-bombing stuff or even hanging shitloads of flyers is a good way to at least keep vandalism PG/limited to further being just people slapping stickers for their home businesses instead of scribbling GAIUS WAS HERE AND IS NOW A HOMO WITH HIS BEST BRO AULUS. and again many cities have designated tag walls specifically to contain vandalism/reduce hood nigga nonsense since even hood niggas seeing a well done mural of a local pop star or something wont tag over it (much)

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.
>>2062630>have a "get rekt" saddlebag sticker that provokes freds>they overtake>I draft them and when they get tired overtake them againlol
>>2057116okay, great, proud of you, but who tf asked?
>>2057116I'm not in a race, I'm just trying to get my groceries home, or enjoying my ride to work.
don't bother judging others' pace unless you're riding with them. never know the split they're taking between pace and distance
i am doing 10k to work at 4 am and i'm still drunk from yesterday and havent eaten a real meal in three days. i do not care if you pass me
Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
I usually just get really mad after a crash because if anything breaks you gotta walk from there, and walking a bike sucksit also feels like i only ever take a spill when i decide "nah conditions are good, i dont need 90kg of emergency gear today" and then have some catastrophic failure precisely halfway through, often when i have places to be as well and then i gotta call in saying I'll be late and shit and there's so many more embarrassing follow-on effects than just breaking one thing and getting some ouchies
This thread gets funny if you pretend everyone's talking about car crashes
>>20449016 months and my arm still hurts
>>2044901Usually more annoyed than anything. Worst crash happened to me couple years ago, week before my summer holidays.>cycling to work>dog walker's dog runs towards me>swerve to right, hit kerb>next notice I'm lying on the pavement, one shoe few meters from me, bike another few metres to another direction>road rash on one knee, rear derailleur busted, handlebar is twisted, couple of ribs bustedManaged to straigthen the handlebar, but still that maneuver cost me pair of shorts and a derailleur.
>>2044907>there's a steel plate for water drainageit's probably the incorrect type of plate and is just super fucking smooth. my city does the same shit and people constantly eat shit in winter because they have these smooth metal plates all over the fucking placeyou're supposed to use special non-skid ones but cities are not only cheap but overtly hate anyone who is not currently in a car
The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.
I own an ebike but also am an active arsonist. What's the problem?
>>2062670In olden times arsonists were publicly burned alive once captured. The townsfolk would drink tankards of ale and engage in much merry-making while dancing to the shrieks of the arsonist, the teeth would later be pried out from the charred corpse and given to children as charms. Shame we can't do this to ebike people
>>2062614all that to basically say>no u!111
>>2027639nyc has much bigger problems and this is how it ignores them.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYsQE4Pxb4&pp=0gcJCU0KAYcqIYzv
>>2062768why are lolberts and /pol/tards obsessed with the vaporwave-adjacent "VHS aesthetic" and yet so incapable of actually capturing it properly
30 years after Mavic Zap, I finally tried three different bikes with electronic shifting (Rival, Force, and Red/XPLR) and it reminded me of the first time I got my dick sucked. It was alright. I'm glad I experienced it. But the overall feeling was like.... "that's all? that's what all the hype was about?"I am glad it's a thing, I'm glad it's available, I would never tell them to un-invent it. I suppose if you offered to upgrade my current bikes with all electronic I'd probably go for it (might have to think it through first). Overall, it was a disappointment.So what did I miss here? Is Shimano better or Campy maybe, was the problem fookin SRAM? Is it less about the ride and more the long term ownership experience, the maintenance perhaps? Why do people fork out 2-3x the monies over the cost of perfectly good mech shifting? I can't believe I'm even saying "perfectly good (old thing)". I love my hydro dicks, I love my crabon wheels, I would never go back and those were worth every penny, but the e-shifting was a big letdown. Again, it was fine, but just fine. For all the hype I expected to ejaculate instantly.
>>2062237>he doesn't knowthe entire point of those hanger-less electronic shifters is to have it in a standardized position against the wheel so that you don't need to adjust anything, you can just shove it in there and it'll shift out of the box. there's a reason there are no hanger-less cable derailleurs, it makes no sense.
>>2054424It makes sense that smaller penises experience less pleasure.
>>2054384this looks completely unmaintainable
>>2062733A bike is only as maintainable as its market share
>>2062238>there's a reason there are no hanger-less cable derailleurs, it makes no sense.Eagle 70 and 90 are both full mount mech derailleurs. Direct mount has nothing to do with electronic shifting and the reason we aren't seeing more full mount groups is because SRAM doesn't let other companies fully utilize it. Even if you dislike full mount UDH is a great thing because it forces all manufacturers that want to use SRAM groupsets into using the same derailleur hanger.
A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

>Bike TrainingNot sure if this is better on /fit/ or here but I assume I'll get probably less shittier posts here. How are you handling training in the winter? I've been forcing myself to zwift more and I have no idea how people do races so frequently where they can do 2-3x a week.
>>2059173>How are you handling training in the winterIt snowed once for like half an inch this year. I'm still MTN biking every weekend
I just ride in winter, do more commute, less training. Still didn't install studded tires this year, because winters become warm. Now it's snowfall several days in a row and I wait for the roads to get cleaned.
>>2062473/n/ is for calling people poor for not shopping at overpriced retard larper stores like Giant and desperately trying to justify dogshit californian chic nonsense like frame-mounted brakes/shifters and "mountain bikes" with no suspension
>>2062732>overpriced>like Giantlollmao even
Today I decided to pull out my XC and perform some training. It's 25cm snow, blizzard from Norway reached our country. So it took me 1 hour to make 10 km, in the park where roads are not cleaned, but heart rate was relatively low it was more of a steering challenge. Feels like waste of time.
SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.
>>2059158had they actually let us take it back to the clyde it probably would have been restored. look at ps waverley and mv hebridean princess which i see moored in full working order often. heck, sometimes i'd argue they are more reliable then the fucking mv glen sannox iv
do fish really even like these artificial reefs? they are dumb animals with no brains. is it possible for a fish to be trapped in a maze of corridors it's whole life? or maybe they get stuck?
>>2062070fish here, i love it, please sink more things
>In response to the impending sinking, the New York coalition has taken legal action, filing a lawsuit to halt the process until federal agencies can assess the situation. Although the lawsuit was dismissed for lack of standing, advocates remain determined to seek federal intervention.The "Raise RMS Titanic Foundation" Facebook page is a fucking goldmine.
>>2062070yeah it turns out the stuff that grows on it is tasty and it provides cover from larger predators who dont fit in all the little wire raceways and pipes and shit
Do you guys ever have conversations with other people on public transportation, or try picking up girls there?>yet another day riding the subway sharing a car with plenty of cute girls, normal looking guys, and never make conversation with anyone to try to make friends or get a date>it's been like this nearly daily for 10 years>even see the same people getting on and off at my same stop, they live near me, and still never speak to anyone
>>2046297I get it a lot less now that I wear big headphones
>last week of December>another year riding the subway pretty much every day>another year of not speaking to a single person on my ride There’s a pretty young woman with resting bitch face who I see almost every day, sometimes in the morning but frequently in the evening returning home. We live at the same stop. We are on the train for nearly half an hour together. We frequently are even on the same train car. We were both on the train this morning, day after Christmas, when it was pretty sparsely filled. Despite how awkward it would be given we see each other for months and never speak, I Could have struck up a conversation based around Christmas how her holiday was, doesn’t it suck we have to work today when so few people do, talk about living in the same town, etc. Instead what did I do? Walked to the next car and sat there the whole timeI’m sure this girl has never even noticed my existence on the train, yet almost every single day I notice her and kick myself how I don’t talk to her. She doesn’t seem to have any visible piercings or tattoos like is common in my area. Probably a relatively wholesome girl. And yet, nothing. I swear riding the subway make me even more miserable
>>2033072I do this too. It's also good to wait outside for a while and check they are ok by looking in their house with binoculars.
Literally just have Game and this isn't a problem. Read some Neil Strauss.
I'm a Londoner so talking on public transport would get me executed, but a few weeks ago an older woman with an Australian accent walked up to me on the train platform and started talking about how cold it was and how she was surprised I was alright in just a hoodie. We had a little chat about cold tolerance and Australia (I've got relatives there) before the train arrived, we waved to each other as we boarded and then went silent.It brightened my week.
