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.

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
I have been on this site for 10 years and I only noticed this board today. Since I'm already here, I'd like to ask a question:Why are train autists so much more hated than other autist brands?
>>2069952Because it was literally brand new inside of the factory.
>>2069954but the type of train it is looks like they don't make it anymore
>>2072462It's a GEVO. They're still widely built all around the world.
>>2072472Gesundheit
>>2057954Part crazy, part envy.If I hit up the museum catalog of photos, the best ones are always of trains or railroads. Some irrelevant track bend has more photos than royal castles. Train autism became photo autism.
Why do they do this? Happened this Friday
>>2075236>Why did he put it in the wrong hole?New maintenance procedure: Pin in both holes. DP that bitch.
>>2076120lewd
>>2075313Bet an engineer was working on the hydraulics with the safety pin missing. Nosegear should not retract like that under any normal circumstance. Even with a loss of hydraulic pressure it shouldn’t retract
>>2075218I saw the jetway and I thought a fat American passenger had boarded the plane.
>>2077008Fucking engineers as always. I remember when I was wageslaving as a baggage handler, happily unloading a plane when the engine suddenly started spooling up for a test run right next to me. I ran up to the cockpit and asked them wtf they were doing and they just shrugged and said they "assumed" someone had told the ground crew that the engines would run.

How in the fuck are they pulling this shit off? These commies are making us look like clowns! What is the reason for this?!
>>2035263I was supposed to take the Amtrak from penn station to Albany to go back to college the day it flipped on it's side and few people died. without looking it up it was the sunday after thanksgiving in 2012. I took an adirondack trailways bus instead and played Civ 5 on my laptop the whole way up
>>2073935alright I'm wrong it was a metro north train but they use the same tracks and it was when I was coming home from spring break in 2013 https://mx-schroeder.medium.com/dazed-debacle-the-2013-spuyten-duyvil-usa-derailment-3c2c67421928

hey /n/ this is my cat rupert i was thinking about taking him on the bus to see the sights of the city but i couldnt find any rules on it, do you know if can cats go on busesi have a cat carrier but would he be allowed out to see out the window?
>>2065597
>>2065584Terrible movie, nothing but a collection of clichés and trend following.
>>20566855pBpHe should stay home.
>>2071627Eh some cats are fine with it especially when they're young or if they're accustomed. When my cat was smol I used to take her to the park on a leash and she didn't mind much
>>2071626The only reason anyone went to see it was because it was christina ricci as a nympho getting chained up by a large black man
SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.
This is a joke, but also not a joke: how in the fuck has the current admistration not halo projected this thing but the name alone?
>>2076143i'd let him rename it the SS Donald J Trump if it meant it was saved
>>2076176if he intervened the result would be $40 trillion moved around on polymarket by mysterious accounts linked to the inner circles of the regime, several hundred dead USCG, the state of arizona ceded to mexico (spun as a glorious victory by the government-controlled media), and the price of basic food staples doubling in the next three months (but actually that's a good thing!)
>>2076176Eh...suppose it could be fixed after he's gone.>>2076177Whatever it takes. Really wanna take a boat instead of a cattle car plane around the world. It hilariously being americas huge, ancient hog would be too funny.
>>2071303So it's July now and there's still no date set. Okaloosa county said they've finished cleanup and they redid the agreement between them and the Army Corp of Engineers but now there's a requirement for preservation work including 3D laser scanning of the entire ship before sinking and after sinking
