Stop pointlessly moving around.
>>2075064They have to start running more 3 car sets because theres no room on the damn Nippon Sharyo DMUs. High ridership is a good sign though. Finally someone mentions my backwater part of the country. Also expand it to Fairfield!
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.
>>2069433He's look pretty fit here for an 80 year old, why didn't we pick him?
>>2074065A novice would have crashed no matter what if it was a slippery enough surface and he did something dumb like hit a crack at a 45 degree angle
>>2064175all my 2025 crashes were within 300 feet of my house. I've heard similar stats for cars.
>>2071367kwab
>>2074065I didn't >imply any of that :^(I'm not gonna pretend I know how to do anything other than lube my chain and adjust my seat and for the record, I like disc brakes way more than pads. My mind was blown when I got a bike with disc brakes, I like the idea of keeping the brakes going just by adjusting the wire.
Would you fly in an airliner with no windows?
>>2077057fly explodey airlines, our fleet of exciting Tu-22M3 converted bombers specifically designed for passengers with a death wishrecent Tu-22M crashhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dDtXUzwuZETu-ssM breaks up on landinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSvE7LFJ-UA
>>2077060I flew on an airbus A380 in 2014 which had a camera mounted on the top of the tail facing forward, you could dial into the camera on the back of seat video screen, along with a graphic of the position of the plane on a globalmap.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPiNXPOaerI
yeah i just sleep on flights so i wouldnt be too bothered.>>2077060>pulling people out of windows after a crashthey do not do this. those windows are designed to survive crashes to keep the plane intact and exterior debris from entering the cabin.
>>2077060>pulling people out of windows after a crashmaybe if they're small children, otherwise no
>>2077064When I flew on Emirates, they had that but they'd turn it off below a certain altitude, which was a bit disappointing because I wanted to watch our landing.
What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.
Took The Vermonter the other day. Why is it so much cheaper than NEC? It's like the same price as a commuter train. Meanwhile a trip between NYP and Newark Airport on the NEC is like $86 on Amtrak
>>2074105As the train rolls across the land, imagine the land beneath you generating little $ signs that float up into the air like super mario or sonic the hedgehog. The more rapidly the dollar signs rise, the greater the fare. In the northeast corridor it's high dollars the whole way through but once you venture off the beaten path, not so much
>>2074105higher demand on the NEC, it's the same with airlinesfor ny-newark airport there's no much reason to not take njt instead
>>2062712Isn't there a train in Napa (or was it Sonoma?) Like one of those dinky little feeder trains like they have in Princeton NJ?
>>2075832How much is the NJT fare
Ocean liner fans rejoice! The Queen Mary reopened for hotel guests in May and in June, I had the privilege of spending two nights on board. I'll be uploading my album of the ship over the next few days and discussing the history of the ship that I learned while onboard.
>>2043281>Battleship USS Iowa which is also at the port of Long BeachIt's on the LA side in San Pedro. I live in the area. Never been aboard it. Don't really care about it. I was working on the docks the day they towed her in though. pic related.The USS Abe Lincoln came here in like 2007 and that was pretty cool to go aboard. We got to stand on the platform that lifts the jets up to the deck.
>tfw bored and upon up a 3 year old thread where the OP posts pictures of a place that I WAS LITERALLY AT ON THAT EXACT DAYwhat a fucking small world...
Are there any mega oldfags who traveled by ocean liner during the final days of non-ceremonial service? Late 50s or early 60s? Maybe as a child on a vacation?
>>2077228you can't even passenger your way across the atlantic anymore on boat? it just has to be plane?
>>2077284You can but it's like once a month sailings and only between New York and *ngl*nd. You can't go anywhere worthwhile like Marseille or Cadiz, just knifecrime island where you will be immediately arrested for failure to register your phone as an illegal television simulator
Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2073839hope he sees this bro
>>2047065Imagine being a low IQ normgroid that doesn't enjoy bicycles, planes, trains, ships, cars and any form of transportation"pick one side only!!!!" cucks are brain damaged
>>2073849But that post doesn't say one side only, why are you trying to create conflict where none exists
>>2073844And once more.
>>2073923really hope he sees this. then you can be agreeable together.

How do we prevent $3M+ LRT ouchies like this?
>>2074410maybe just accept the fact that LRT sucks ass and don't put it down the middle of a busy road. all transit should be grade separated, and if your government/municipality won't do that for you it's because they're wasting your money on bullshit instead.
>>2076763That road has very little traffic.t. been there
>>2076759?Did you check the intersection on streetview? Theres no lefts or u turns allowed, its a single lane road
https://youtube.com/shorts/cU6KzpnMIHow would a k turn get him out of it?
>>2074415Does it have rubber wheels or does it run on a metal track?
Hear me out, we need one of these.

>>2054439I do that on weekends
Gonna go on a trip to Bulgaria, I want to see their cursed looking steam locos and aging fleet.
>>2073432there's one of that kind in Minsk, capital of Belarus - a children's railway in a large park, "fully operated by teenagers"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Railroad_(Minsk)
>>2073155We have a 2-12-4 tank engine, we also have some german style locos. I've never seen a working steam engine irl because they don't run them often here in bulgaria, well at least not on the mainline, there probably are some tourist railways that regularly run steam locos but I don't have any means of transportation so I haven't been to them.

Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?
>>2077271to cater to an audience that doesn't exist anymore? No thankst. campy group owner
>>2077276Yea, that's why the silver GRX sold out in minutes. People absolutely still want shiny stuff. Just because you're a dweeb doesn't mean everyone else is.
>>2077277they made like 5 of them>People absolutely still want shiny stuffPeople still claim they want performance mech shifting and rim brakes but when campagnolo ditched EPS on record and chorus 12s and still offered rim brakes it almost killed the company.
>>2077269CF as a status symbol was still a thing 10 years ago but everyone has settled down. If it's still being used as a sign of prestige by companies like Time to show they have a unique layup it's clearly not going away any more than exposed welds or lugged frames are going away. But I realize I'm on /n/ where everyone seems to still think dick breaks are a controversial new technology and carbon has mysterious properties that no one understands, so I am not surprised that there are people who are afraid of an exposed weave because it's "tryhard".
>>2077282I worked in composites for years. I don't see where I mentioned fear. I said it's not to my taste.
Lets recommend each other literature specifically about the design and engineering behind your favorite locomotive or piece of rollingstock.
>>2073789God I wish I was a mechanical engineer in the 40s.
Cool story bro
>>2077291Nigger what the fuck are you talking about ?
Bitch lol
>>2073789https://advanced-steam.org/ufaqs/porta-papers/some of Livio Dante Porta's works are on the advanced steam site. The site buy the people who proposed the 5AT.
What is the intent behind statements like "I'm not a cyclist, I'm just a person who gets around by bike"?At a surface level it is obviously meant to (proverbially) throw other cyclists under the bus, but to what end? Would it somehow appease the anti-bike people if the person "blocking traffic" didn't agree to be referred to by the word "cyclist"?
>>2077229you gotta leave something to the imagination, it makes it sexier actually
>>2077229Chaffing, but I thought that's only for marathon runners. Your nips will literally bleed.
>>2077189They have separate bike roads, tho
>>2077231Didn't know that was a thing. It's pretty sad how people who aren't physically active manage to find reasons to resent people who are and try to make it out to be a bad thing to have an activity they enjoy that gets them outside and having fun.
>>2000001It's just to separate yourself from the wannabe lances. You don't have to wear lycra to have fun or get around.
It's either a container ship or a tanker, both named as blandly as possible.
>>2077198The word "Schooner" comes from old American colonial Scots which in and of itself was just a rendering of the Dutch word for "Skipper" or Captain, which is ultimately derived from the Dutch word Scip for "Ship"The word "Galleon" just comes from the Medieval Greek term galea, which was the smallest ship in the Byzantine Navy and probably just comes from their name for a breed of shark. It's basically the equivalent of a modern warship being named a "Destroyer" The point I'm trying to make is that these words are only charming in retrospect, their charm comes from centuries of art, history, and literature surrounding these names. In their original context, they were just as boring as "Container Ship" or "Tanker". And someday even the term "tanker" might become romanticized itself and we'll start all over again.
>>2077198>schooner>galleonread gooner while scrolling the catalogue
>>2077240Revisionist spotted. If we like it - we do it. Discussion over.
What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2057440They are much pleasanter to travel with. For one thing, they move in straight lines like chads, and don't wander around like retarded buses. I don't always use public transportation but when I do I always look for a tram first.
>>2077121Seriously, any benefits of having more bus stops at random places are wasted because it makes the travel longer. Buses may be good for grandmas which can barely walk at all, but I wouldn't recommend such people any unattended transportation in the first place.
>>2068739>over 6 miles longwow it's fucking nothingmost bus routes in my city are longer than that
>>2077070>>2077065Trams are an IQ test. If you don't get them, you failed the test. Which includes building them wrongly.
>>2057440almost 50% of bus operating costs go toward covering drivers' salaries
