Post your favorite or most used train station or bus stop.Once a year or so I like to start this thread, it usually ends up pretty interesting.
>>2083885Leeds' train station mightly legitimately be one of the best things about the city
>>2083971Ahh the good old slam doors. Great photo, when's it date from?
>>2083971Yes, it has had a lot of work done to it over the years. Rebuilding after rebuilding. Now six through-platforms and twelve terminating. >>2083971Great picture of Selby, Anon. Presumably before 1984 as they lifted those central tracks after the Selby Diversion opened in 1983 and mainline trains stopped running through.
Track just wiggles now.

>>2083691True, true.
>>2083257>>2083337cyclists also have cars
>>2083355People like you genuinely deserve to be excluded and disenfanchised and there is nothing unjust or wrong about such an outcome.
>>2083355I'd rather tie you and drag your psychotic degenerate ass on a gravel road with a giant F350 so society can be better off without you.
>>2083621Interesting system. Does it have both, an electric motourized front hub an combustion engine rear hub? If so, how fast does it go and how long distances could you go with it before you need to recharge and refill?
Do you walk? (USA)
>>2083658i always park far away but it doesn't help that parking lots are fucking horrible places to be in when you're not in a carhave you ever tried walking to a strip mall or walmart with one of those fuck huge parking lots attached to the front?it's a shit design that is completely hostile to people who are not in cars, including those who just parked their car and now have to walk through the parking lot to reach the storei will never understand why our country decided this was how we were going to live
>>2082948she can fix me
From what I've seen on TV with this weirdly oversized houses, stores and parking lots I wouldn't be suprised if they actually walk more getting their groceries by car than I do getting them by foot only.

I had the phone interview. Not even Zoom, just talking. Seemed awfully rushed. Nothing intensive with the questions either.>What's your background?>What jobs have you worked before that would help in this line of work.No questions about my desire to be out at sea, nothing about how well I deal with isolation, no questions about my knot tying skills.I'm nervous. I gave good answers, but she seemed like she REALLY wanted me to give basic 1 sentence responses and get the fuck off the phone. I was in my >Motherfucker, you better give the greatest most eloquent lines or you're spending the rest of your life scraping together an existence on the same stretch of highway you were born onmode, but she was rushing me along worse than the time I interviewed for McDonald's. She said to expect a response in 2 weeks. More waiting around.... yaaaaay.....Also, why the fuck are women doing interviews for blue collar work? I've had some female crewmates, and they were half great, half shitbags like the guys, but come on. Some chick with that corpo foid accent shouldn't be talking to me about my suitability for a man's profession.
>>2084522Because nobody gives a shit.Her job is to call people and ask some bs questions from a check list or what she was thought to ask.Just don t fuck up onboard. Do your job take the money and go gome. There is no more to explore and discover 99% of us do it for the money alone. The adventure and romantic part of if got slapped out of my head after the first cadet contract.
>>2084523I already had 7 and a half months away from home on river cruises from Louisiana to New York. It was exactly as romantic and adventurous as I had expected. I loved it. Even the shitty parts. I can only imagine how awesome going out to sea properly will be.
>>2084524>river cruises from Louisiana to New YorkThat is actually somewhat romantic which is probably not what you'll get onboard a bulk carrier or container ship.
>>2084527I'm just worried some Becky or Susan has a gun to my life's head when she has no right to be the one to pull the trigger or not. I had a buddy who got on with MSC, but things aren't the same as they were a couple years ago. Not to shit on him, but he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. I know I'm a better deckhand, but I don't know if their hiring has gotten more stringent. A bulk carrier or container may be different, but I'm here to get away from it all and get paid to do it. Out there on an endless ocean is what I dream about. That sort of emptiness Ishmael spoke of in Moby Dick.
Say that everyone on a commercial jet gets knocked out, except for one passenger. Can a person with zero flight experience land it if they're guided by air traffic control?
>>2084470more than that its based off an earlier meme that sim players (at the time mostly GT, we didnt have many normie-accessable car sims yet) tended to make better track day people because even though the sims are low fidelity, the sheer amount of time and the sims being "good enough" gave them an edge in experience over the boomer dentists who just spin out their 'vette once a monthsame with flight sims but less well recorded because theres simply less pilots than weekend track day dentists. but there, most of the sims are just the higher-end version of a game you could get on steam. DCS is famously used in actual military simulations and has commercial and military license tiers that actually come with features that proper flight schools need (mostly back-end stuff to interact with other equipment manufacturer's shit so the fake but physical cockpit can interact with the game properly)
>>2080116I wonder what you're expecting ATC to do? They're not pilots and don't know how to operate a plane, unless one of them just happens to be one.Yeah, I can clear you to a final approach fix and keep other traffic away but I can't tell you how to program the FMS to do all that.Also you'll want an ILS CAT III AD to land on if you want autopilot to do all the work.
>>2084494Yes, and not only the software, but also the gaming hardware which can be pretty darn realistic (g forces excluded).
>>2084506>I wonder what you're expecting ATC to do?Well, even professional pilots apparently don't really know: >>2084154Also, isn't ATC instructed to guide such planes to crash "safely"?
>>2084506Time permitting, they can get you in communication with a pilot, smarty pants.
Post your shitbikesssss
>>2084701meh, sounds pretty decent unless you want to race
>>2084701When you use the term BSO this way it just loses all meaning. They come with real parts and are serviceable and upgradeable, stop being stupid. They're a perfectly good mid range brand.
>>2084706>mid range brandi was talking about canadian tire and canadian walmarts being bsos. those can literally come out of the store with problems you need to fix. It's not too bad if you know what to look for and how to tune up the bike but. one step up from bso would be sportchek and the entry level decathlon stuff.
>>2053892i love this one dude its so goodcould fool me, only brakes and tires gave it away that someone thought about it, set up right as well with right brake being the front onei bet my ass this one rides suprisingly fast tooonly problem is eventually you get so attached to a bike like that it starts to get scary leaving it somewhere
>>2055069Holy shit look at this flaming faggot post
post thr modt beautiful train station from all over the world.if you would like i would be happy to see your cities train station.
>>2078435That's art deco I think
Helsinki train station with that clock tower has to be the best one in the world. It's pure Gotham.
>>2082987Forgot the pic
Nyugati Railway Station in Budapest>>2082987>>2082988agreed, it's my favorite train station. seeing it in real life was alone worth visiting helsinki for me.
>>2084314we fuck up our beautiful train stations with ugly camera/light poles and ads too
I rode my bike on the sidewalk today and I think I am going to do it more often, especially when the roads are busy with cars. Does anyone else do this? Have you ever gotten a ticket? I don't care if people complain as I ride by, as I prefer it to getting crushed by a truck.
>>2084250I hop the crubs on occasion, really depends where. Where I live you're allowed on sidewalks when going through an underpass since so many cyclists got killed in them. I will also do it when there's too much traffic and the sidewalk is empty. I will only ride on a busy sidewalk when I'm going to park my bike to a poll and only at a walking pace.>>2084289Arguably riding on sidewalks is pick me behaviour to be liked by motorists, but you're just saying nonsense to have people argue with you because you're the pathetic troll with no life.
>>2084250theres a section of my commute where the bikeway just stops and dumps you into oncoming traffic so yeah i just take the sidewalk for those like three blocks
>>2084250there is a short section of my commute that involves an underpass and a blind left across a busy road, so i hop on the opposite sidewalk a street before the underpass to avoid that and the blind cross.
being a quasi pedestrian is one of the perk of riding a bicycle. if there's bike lanes, i much prefer them, but i will go onto sidewalks whenever necessary. you can do all sort of neat tricks for moving around town and switching between road rider and pedestrian modes.riding sidewalks is not illegal in my city, also helps
The only time I will ever ride on the sidewalk is if I have to go against traffic which is rare because I always plan my routes around avoiding that as much as I can. Otherwise I have no issues riding with traffic if it's a multi-lane road. If I'm going too slow for your ass then just move over Karen
We had to destroy the plane in order to save it edition.Crashes year to date:https://aviation-safety.net/database/year/2026/1Last thread:https://boards.4chan.org/n/thread/2062242/
>>2084731I can see a panicked climb especially since they were in an updraft gaining altitude and probably airspeed already. Maybe that was even an attempt to arrest increasing airspeed. But when they started to get out of it their airspeed would plummet and at a high pitch attitude they probably stalled pretty quickly. Ice could have definitely aggravated that. >I really don't know how I'd feel about getting on a commercial plane piloted by a 4chins shitposterThe best pilots are autistic remember that!As for the choice to climb at that point I don't think it was a good idea. At altitudes like that you really don't have a lot of excess power to help you climb quickly. The best course of action would have been to just not get into the storm at all. However if it was bumpy like that they should have been at or below their turbulence penetration speed to help with that.
>>2084718>"722BD, the turn to Freeport looks pretty bad. There is moderate to extreme precipitation 11 o'clock and 25 miles, 100 miles in diameter."Yeah, that's completely irrelevant seeing as they were on the other edge of the peninsula at that time. The problem is the starboard turn at :46 over a storm cell nobody knew was rapidly developing at the time (they thought they'd fly over it)
>>2084738What? By the time they turn to starboard at 2:45 of that video they were already in the storm that was causing the 600-700 ft. turbulence and icing. Where are you getting this?
>>2084643the man was not a boomer you look up the dates for boomers it ran out around 1965 the man was 55 so he is a gen X, i bet you are one of these zoomers that have no idea about what generation is what and you assume anyone over 30 is a boomer
>>2084882>you assume anyone over 30 is a boomerYeah that's the joke anon, it's a joke, a joke
The most masculine white from of transport is a handcrafted 2-stroke bicycle.The fuel crisis and subsequent collapse will separate the wheat from the chaff once and for all.>b-b-but the government says they're dirty!NGMI. I bet you got the jab, too.
>>2082363>The fuel crisis and subsequent collapseAssuming this isn't another episode of "urban dweller thinks fuel prices don't affect him since he doesn't have a car", anything remotely close to a "Mad Max" scenario you would want to have something that has some sort of storage capacity more than what you can carry on your back or a milk crate, something with three or four wheels.
>>2083577>fuel being expensive means it's "mad max"or you just want to get 70mpg instead of 10
>>2083589>instead of 10What are you driving, a tank?
>>2083594Welcome to America
>>2082365I still have the nakamura but the 2smoke has gone onto a Puch "city" "omafiet" thing because the engine ancilla didn't fit on the nakamura. the nakamura will be made into an evne more overpowered ebike once i can stop wincing at battery prices and find an MTB rack that is suitable for a battery case (less for weight capacity and more because no one makes them fucking flat, they always have a stupid swish at the end that interferes with the battery retention rail!!!!)
The Electra Townie is apparently the best selling bike in America. I figured it would've been some gravel bike or hybrid but nope, it's actually just a cruiser/commuting bike with a really weird seating position (even for cruiser standards). Anyone ever ridden one? I just got one used for about $150 as a daily urban rider but the weird tube angle is starting to give me second thoughts but I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. What do you velophiles think of these things?
>>2071738peak cyclist brainrot>U GOTTA DO WHAT U GOTTA DOother than maybe idk get at least a different gearing setup, bars that dont destroy your wrists, appropriate seating position, maybe even a coat of paint to commit to the bit of le ebin fun beach cruis're instead of edgy fake carbon black (despite le quirky tassels)
>>2071738>71kmh based.ebikes are too dangerous to allow on roads though
>>2080814Sounds like you're just weak
>>2060815Serious adults get roller brake and internal gear hub dutch bikes instead of some show off cruiser bullshit
>>2080696steering andle is normal and cs length is moderatewhy do you think that?
Why is it so comfy?
