>>2030789is that you in the hat?
>>2030176For me it's not that there's not a.bunch of trains, just that infrastructure in towns is so bad because cars get priority. There's a lot of parks in my town that are underused because it's a shit fucking walk to them even under a mile away. 3 lane rounds and no crossings, 30mph straights. It's ridiculous
>>2030789>cartoonish charactersSays the anon with the prepper delusions
>>2030163>Japan OTOH is the perfect example of simply not having much space due to the geographic constraints. Car-oriented development would be completely unsustainable over there.japan is as big as the entire east coast of the USA
>>2030620>againYeah. After 200 years it's about time.
I have a question for all you gentlemen who love aircraft.I live in Asia and work in the army maintaining aircraft.I would like to obtain an American A&P license and make it my job.Would military maintenance experience meet the requirements for A&P?By the way, my current maintenance qualification is only available to the military.I am also thinking of using the ASA eBook as my A&P textbook, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you studied.
What entitles you to come to the USA? Wow you can follow instructions and wrench on a plane. Literally an associates degree level of skill and a certification people get almost accidentally across the general aviation world.It’s just not a scarce skill set, despite what the airlines (who also profess a non-existent pilot shortage) say. You won’t get a visa and nobody is going to hire an ESL for such a safety critical job.
I'm not going to move to America just because I'm qualified to maintain American aircraft.It's a qualification that can be used even when I'm not in the US, and I'm hoping to do business with privately owned aircraft such as business jets in the future.
>>2029776It works in other places besides the US but iirc, EU/UK needs EASA/JAA which isn't transferable, you'd need to test and do everything over. Also military experience counts but YMMV, you'd still be forced to do learning hours under FAA requirements.
Here we go boys. ATC training starts in June. How fucked am I once I obtain my controller license? What should I expect?
>>2030361Can you pass psych and drug screens? No offense not common on 4chan
>>2030361in my country i got sent to an airport in the middle of nowhere for 3 years and had my funnow im in an international airport, short shifts but shit can get hectic and very stressful in less than 20 minutes since we handle flight schools and vfr and ifr traffic at the same timeim doing a lot of night shifts nowadays which leaves me with a shit ton of free time but ill probably be mentally dead by the time i hit 40
your job could be replaced by an AI in an instant
>>2030500brother, the airline industry is notorious for slow adoption of new tech. Most airports use stuff in the '80s. Even if an AI were good enough to replace controllers you'd have to somehow convince 190+ ICAO members to follow you. Not to mention AI would cause a 100% pushback from unions?
>>2030361You NEED to study and practice with your classmates. Goin it alone is borderline impossible. Non-radar sucks partly because the row instructors are all on their 3rd divorce except for Radar Bob who was chill. When you get to Radar get your scan down so you can build a picture in your head of the scenario. Get ready for 3 years until you see a Saturday off too. Scheduling for the year is done by bid with seniority to determine order. It's not a job known for work life balance so make sure you let work (and school to a lesser extent) stay separate from home to some degree. You get to retire with full government pebsion early for a reason and it's only stressful until you git good. >>2030500Is actually retarded and no, AI ain't coming for this one any time soon. The FAA will certify AI control instructions about the time they address the rampant alcoholism among ATPs and Controllers alike plus >>2030755>t. Washed out a couple years ago because classmates wouldn't study abd probably have undiagnosed adhd.
A lot of people are convinced that rail could never work in most U.S. cities because we have too much sprawl, but it's more complicated than that.Transit can serve *residential* sprawl perfectly fine. What it can't handle is *commercial* sprawl.

America WILL have modern rail lines and I will keep handing out fivers to hobos to set fires along the planned construction sites until I get it.

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/

>>2030448>bike is stable frompretty much zero if you can trackstand. if you got particularly fat wheels you might hit people's legs, but i've never had a problem weaving through pedestrians on my 26er.
>>2030448>stable from 10 km/hWtf anon??Do you fall over if you do 5km/h?My bikes are stable from literally 1-2km/h or how this anon said >>2030481 from literally standstill
>>2030481>>2030482I guess my definition of stable is different from yours. For me things are stable when you don't need to actively correct steering or weight balance. Obviously, you can ride bicycle at any speed you want, hell even trackstand, but that takes a bit of effort... Kind of like balancing a pencil upright (the infamous inverted pendulum). Other thing I should mention is that in general, the stability of bicycle is greater, because small disturbances on the road (i.e. pebbles and uneven pavement) don't affect anything much at all and you can ride with hands off the bars without any issues. But in case of the e-scooter with its tiny wheels, hands-free riding is only possible on extremely smooth pavement since any pebble will upset steering enough for you to loose balance. Other thing to consider is turning radius. Actually, maybe it is much more important than stability lol. dunno.
>>2029905in a city with cycling infrastructure these things are so fucking awesome
>>2029905Your opinion should be disregarded because no intelligent human would move to Eastern Yurop from NA, cutting their salary 70% in the processYour greentext also sounds reddit tier>>2030541riding even one handed on an e-scooter is extremely unstable and dificult. Meanwhile I can easily ride with no hands on a bike.

>>2030742Not him, but I think the rule is center of bb/crank bolt to top of seat. Keep riding, and try the seat up 1-2cm every week or so towards the .885 and you will notice when it's too high. Symptoms of too low seat are knee pain at high power, not much hamstring engagement, and possibly hip pain. Too high is ass rocking side to side, knee pain(too much extension), and harder to keep cadence up since you have to extend so much.Anyways keep riding. That's all that really matters.
(inseam-12cm) is a better starting point to find your ideal height than the multiplication imo
>>2030716i do feel very bad about it but i have no other option
>broke 50 km/h on my mtbI also raised the seat quite a bit, and it was okay, didnt measure it though gotta do that these days
QOTT: 1) If you could travel on any ocean liner in history, which would you choose?2) Aesthetically, what do you think is the best looking liner?
>>2022885Lusitania has really grown on me over time
They took them from us
>>2022885Literally the titanic. >Inb4 such a bland and boring takeMost aesthetically beautiful ship and interiors. I also Like the 3rd Rotterdam (picrel). I think a lot of the old ocean liners with clipper sterns look very nice.
I also love the design of the rmmv oceanic(unbuilt, dismantled on slipway) I wish it had been built, it looks way better than the Queen Mary.
I do Like the Normandie but I think it’s a bit overrated imho.

Riding Amtrak sucks shit if you’re a light sleeper, I could not fucking sleep for more than a few hours. I’d recommend driving around America using the interstate highway system instead. Then you can at least fucking sleep every night.
