An entry level new bike, that is agreeable to ride, not dragged down by antiquated standards like QR, that you won't regret buying, nor immediately feel the urge to swap out half the components because of cut corners, cost approximately USD $1500 at standard retail prices as of late 2024, give or take a few hundred (depending on the finer details).Now, the prices are going to go up by at least 20%, and the smaller independent brands are going to go under as only the largest players will have the spare cash to ride out the sudden loss of consumer confidence. The most interesting and original bike products will simply disappear from the market permanently until the next wave of prosperity (which may be entirely concentrated somewhere far away and foreign, so that only the wealthiest of your peers will be able to import and use such goods).How does that make /n/ feel?

>>2076016I hate to admit it but it ironically is, every correction makes the system more efficient. Mass layoffs are basically society correcting itself and cutting off "needless weight" in order to survive, every living organism has a similar internal mechanism
>>2077648That's like saying a heart attack is the circulatory system correcting itselfAn actually efficient system would have enough liquidity where mass anything would be unheard of. The problem is that the system is set up to make things illiquid because systemic shocks that are a natural feature of this illiquidity will be fixed by unconditionally bailing out the wealth holders and letting the labor side of the market "just deal with it"But we've got it set up so that your health care and retirement security are tied to not taking the risk of moving to another job, so people hang on far too long and then get purged, and we get growing masses of permanent underclass living in tent cities and you people will be like "just buy more money poorfag commie" while supporting infinite giebs for the people who caused it

Nah honestly talking to people on the train isn't really even an option for me anymore. I've become so miserable and suicidal that every day on the train I just stand against the door staring at the floor or out the window frowning. If I'm on the platform with people I just stare at the ground or on a bench with my head in my hands. All the people on there staring at their phones at least look normal and somewhat approachable.
>>2070928He had a name badge, he couldn't have been that successfulA while back I ran into an old coworker that I hadn't seen in like 20 years. He looked like himself but with a few grey hairs. I was feeling pretty down on myself so I pretended to be happy to see him, we exchanged info but he called later and ignored him. Wonder what happened after that.
Well, I should have known better than to come here. I got depressed again.I can only cope with the fact that many men nowadays are lonely, so it's not like it's totally my fault.

I commute to work on my bike and the bike lanes are completely packed during rush hour. Because of all these random idiots everywhere, doing random things randomly, I often need to brake hard without much warning. Especially retarded tourists on those orange "rent-a-bikes"... you never know what they're gonna do.Hand brakes facilitate a significantly faster reaction time than having to fiddle around with the pedals. Also, obviously, the front brake provides most of the stopping power.

In which we discuss the Bikelighting culture (Fahrradbeleuchtungskultur) of our countries.Here in Germany, because of the Danger, it is not allowed to have a blinking Taillight. This is also the Reason that all emergency Vehicles in the World have blinking Lights. By attracting other dangerous night Vehicles to crash into the Ambulance, instead of the civilian Vehicles, it spares Drivers in smaller Vehicles, where the Occupants are less able to administer emergency self-Aid. This is the Consequence of what we call a „high trust Society“; our culture of Politeness dictates the most Risk to the most capable Roaduser. The same Expectation is extended to Police and Construction Engineers who are paid more for occupational Hazards such as a blinking Light.Do you have a Law about blinking Bikelights in your Country?

While I dislike having a blinking headlight on a bicycle I realize it is a necessity. When driving my car and looking in the mirrors I do not necessarily have it click in my head that the tiny small light I see moving in the mirror is a bicycle, I might think it's a static porch light or something, but if it's blinking I know right away it is a bicycle.
I made my own with a custom blinking circuit, a 1W 10 degree lens royal blue LED, and a harbor freight light. It sens the full battery current to the LED through a mosfet when pulsing, it's VERY bright. Makes people look 100% due to "oh shit the po-lice" color. I don't care if it's illegal.

But as the Big Boy’s arrival was delayed more than an hour, temperatures climbed to 106 degrees, creating hazardous conditions for those who had already packed into the viewing area.>With more than 100 people requiring on‑scene medical care and 35 transported to hospitals, unified command declared a mass casualty incident to bring in additional resources.

Should a city the size of Toronto have more, less, or about the same amount of rapid transit?

Are there any actual disadvantages to them? They seem to perform as well as standard bike frames but with the advantage of being easier to mount and dismount without the top bar getting in your way. I know they were originally marketed to women who wore skirts because the top bar on traditional bikes got in the way and exposed their panties but it never quite made sense to me why these weren't just the "default" frame style in the first place, especially since most utility bikes and pretty much every single E-bike on the market uses this style of frame.

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/

>>2077462you believe 18 years is not enough time to build 1000 miles of train tracks?
>>2077491Of course it's enough time to build 1000 miles of tracks, but the project doesn't just involve laying tracks. This will literally be the fastest train in the US and one of the fastest in the world. You can't just lay high speed rail lines on undeveloped ground. Entire viaducts and support structures need to be made to support the tracks. Construction technically only began about 10 years ago anyways, since then hundreds of miles of track and permanent infrastructure has been made to support said tracks, including electrification infrastructure. Yes progress is slow as fuck, but you have to understand that the scope of this project isn't quite as simple as building tracks you dunce. And that's on top of all the bureaucracy and red tape getting in the way
>>2077498China built 40k miles of this track in the same time span and its already runningwestoids simply can't build anything anymoreThe population is incompetent, does shitpoor work, has horrible work ethic, and doesn't even have a nation to belong to anymore
>>2077572How much of that track is being laid within Earthquake zones Chang?
>>2077572China is still a developing country so they have less red tape to go through, similar to the USA in the early 20th century or Japan in the 1960s-1970s.
