>>2068079National driver here: truer words have never been spoken. Only the public self policing and reporting plates of offenders is the only hope. Police are goofy, clumsy janitors and at a 10,000 to 1 ratio effectively dont exist. Only hiccup is nearly everyone would get their license pulled, cause as youve said: it everyone. So we should start with the bottom 10% of drivers per year. If thar doesnt scare these morons into stop playing hotwheel track, who cares, de-motor everyone.Great way to start private ride share buses.

Post your ride during sundown Post your favorite lights and light setupsDo not: Be a haterTalk shitPost daylight ride photos
>>2073782I do this. Keep a tight schedule so you see mostly the same people, and be visible with a good tail light. Consider using two for redundancy. Maybe avoid Fridays when the drunks are numerous.
>>2073614I found a plethora of knives on a bike path. I like to collect hobo stabbers :)
>>2073782yeah, country drivers are usually worse and more often drunk. however there is less traffic overall so it evens out. but still, get lights. and as tempting as it is to get gorillion watt lumenblasters, they dont actually make you harder to hit

>>2078697Getting people to take downtown jobs is always a bit challenging and the depot being outside of the downtown core is even more challenging. Ford is consolidating in the new HQ while GM is leaving the Renaissance Center for much smaller office space nearby. Companies are shedding white collar workers in the US, so office demand will continue to be weak.The only positive I see is that two of the Renaissance Center office towers are going to be torn down, while the other two are converted into condos and apartments. That's a lot of office space coming off the market and I'm guessing GM is overestimating how much they can downsize their office space needs downtown so they might end up leasing part of the dept. It being owned by Ford shouldn't be an issue given that the Renaissance Center was originally built by Ford and GM still used it as their HQ.

Here's the situation. I'm a poorfag trying to claw his way out of being broke. I recently got a job doing bike delivery for Jimmy Johns in a pretty busy city location. I love biking and this job seems like something I could really enjoy doing, but I'm worried about going in unprepared and washing out.I've lurked /n/ for a long time and I've been cycling as a hobby for years, but I've never worked any kind of courier or delivery job before and I'm trying to gather as much knowledge as possible before my first day of work in a couple weeks. If any of you have done anything like this, I'd love to pick your brains about your gear, diet, general strategy/philosophy, etc.I'll post below with the loadout I've put together out of my poorfag supplies. My budget for more gear is laughable right now but feel free to make suggestions on it and when I've made a little money I plan on upgrading piece by piece.
>>2079472You don't need a lot of bike gear to get started but you do need a lot of supporting gear to help your job. Everything you acquire from today onward will be waterproof or water resistant, especially your phone, backpack, boots, and rain jacket. You will be on your feet all day, you need good boots, in summer days with heavy rain sandals are the pro move. In winter you will need good gloves and boots.Finally, the most important part, your diet. If you don't fuel yourself properly you'll crack and break. I've been a courier since 2015, the good news is there's more work than ever now thanks to delivery apps, the bad news is you'll still be under paid and over worked despite the demand
>>2079483What does your diet look like? Are there any food prep recipes you swear by? That was one of the things I was very curious about, I'm adamant about eating/drinking right if I'm going to commit myself to this.
>>2079486I did courier work for several years. I don't remember anything special about what I ate, but money was really tight. good old beans and rice will keep you going for pennies. you save a slight amount by soaking dry beans and then cooking them but whether it's worth it is debatable. I prefer the taste of brown rice but I'm probably the minority there. but it's supposed to be much healthier. you can season it however you like and as much salt as you want since you're going to be hydrating all day and sweating it out anyway.
>>2079486My diet is mostly Aldi or Taylor Farms (i know i stopped buying them for a while) salad kits and these Safeway refrigerated grocery store ready meals because it's very cheap and "real" and mostly unprocessed, it's like American style konbini is the best way i can describe it. Usually it comes with rice or mashed potato, then a veggie side like roasted carrots or broccoli or brussel sprouts or string beans, and a protein like a chicken thigh or pork chop for $4 a meal. It's cold though so I have a mental map of places for a public microwave I can use. I usually have like 3 of those meals in my fridge just in case. This saves me a lot of time so I could spend like 8-10 hours a day 6-7 days a week working riding my bike instead of cooking and cleaning but when I do cook for myself on my days I do take off I keep it really simple, a shit ton of white rice and butter pan seared chicken/pork with mrs dash seasoning, salt/pepper, and toaster oven roasted brussel sprouts or broccoli. Those salad kits i mentioned earlier are great btw, salad gives so much cycling power it's insane. On top of all that, I drink a lot of milk and yogurt, if your body can process milk, it feels like cheating it's stronger than salad
the niggers working inside Jimmy Johns make twice as much as you and get paid vacation
why do kayaks not have sails? longboats had sails and rowers, worked out pretty well. with a counterweight at the bottom, some ballast water, perhaps with pumps to balance it out you could put a sail on a kayak.
Any more dumb question
>>2079253huh, neat. what do you call it? trikatamaran?
>>2079254A kayak with sails.
Kayak hulls exists TO roll in heavy seas. The kayak hull shape is about the paddle's utility for doing everything.>>2079253The hull shape here is doing nothing different than any boat the same length can do. Never get a boat that is not compact when docking.

Alright guys, it's time we settled this debate once and for allDo rollercoasters count as transportation? From an engineering perspective they're basically just trains that go on unorthodox tracks so I personally say yes, but please let us know your opinions in the comment section down below, and don't forget to like comment subscribe and hit the bell icon for more threads like this one
This freestanding airtime hill had to have brakes incorporated after installation, going uphill.The trains do not merely just roll over the cliff they are also accelerated downhill to hit the highest top speed in the world, for tallest/fastest claims..But Intamin couldn't actually use that speed for even the one feature and had to slow the trains down. The limits of G and speed are fully explored, there is no reason to pour more millions into a longer track completed faster than a shorter track at regular speeds. Transportation categorically does not share this double bind of a need for speed meeting too short a trip to be meaningful for guests to queue for. Roller Coasters are now finished and entirely derivative Art, until the roller ball bearing itself is obsoleted by gravitics.
>>2078549
>>2078549Counterargument: rollercoasters are cable cars. Your standards seem to only involve trains that run under their own power but that would actually exclude a lot of "trains" that are used for legitimate transport purposes as well
>>2078504absofrigginlutely BASED
>>2078521I think it looks cool but I'm just wondering how the fuck are you supposed to clean it, guaranteed those windows get dirty as fuck with pollen dust and other dirt in the spring and it looks like shit
Why are trainfags obsessed with HSR when 99% of mechanized passenger travel is local.
>>2070090are you being silly here, guvner?
>>2069624And yet in Europe and Asia even economy HSR seats look like domestic first class in US air travel and there's no TSA DEI hire paid to grope you.Unless your statement suggests there's an inherent American tendency to slide any scheme into misery and on that perhaps we can agree
>>2070420>???
>>2073175I lived in China for about a year and I used HSR like 20 times, I only took 7 trips by plane and about 10 by normal train. Price was usually 3-4x normal trains but it is also 3x the speed, and so much less hassle than airports. It was always faster and cheaper than flying (other than when going 1500+km away)HSR (and trains in general in western countries) just need to get rid of the awful airline style ticket pricing model and then it will be a great experience
>>2070090how the fuck are you gonna handle crossing traffic or weather deviations retard
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.

Hey /n/, what strategies do you use to mitigate ass pain and skin health? I only experience deep muscular soreness on very long rides, but as I get older my skin is getting irritated more often. Painful red bumps crop up and ruin the ride. I hit them with neosporin and cover with a bandage, which works, but I want to prevent them in the first place. I always ride with a clean ass and clean undies, but now those padded cycling shorts are suddenly making more sense. I might even pick up some chamois cream even though the idea always seemed gross to me.Anyway, how bout you? Is your ass chapped like mine? Tips from ass masters would be appreciated.

Anyone here into it? Or even just into collecting models of trains. This shit is so expensive only codgy old boomers partake.
>>2064738N gauge autist here, specifically Japanese passenger trains with a soft spot for oneman diesel cars.I find it to be relatively cheap, the expense is mostly in the space rather than the actual rolling stock and other stuff, you can get nice n gauge passenger trains for like 50$ before shipping and import from places like yahoo auctions (just use buyee or similar), track is ridiculously cheap except for the technical parts if you just buy flex track by the foot.The real problem beyond the space requirement is that making the layout is more of a creative endeavor than a technical one, and most things you will suck at first few tries. This means you either accept shitty first attempts or spend a lot of time on experimenting which means a lot more time and space is needed. That’s how most people end up quitting the hobby or at least delaying it until retirement.
Are there engine models that are able to simulate exhaust? A model steam engine that actually has plumes of steam come out?
>>2079429Yeah, they have a couple of methods of making water vapor.
>>2079429>>2079431Imo they never look that good, and I think they eventually lead to stuff getting gummed up if you use them long enough.
>>2078374The answer to Boomers is to befriend them and have them allow you to acquire their collection.I can't be bothered to spend the time to sell my stuff and when I go ...Not my problem.
For the first time in over ninety years, there's a new international crossing between the US and Canada in Detroit. The Gordie Howe Bridge, built by the government of Canada at no cost to the United States, joins the Ambassador Bridge (1929) and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel (1930) in connecting Detroit and Windsor. The bridge will vastly increase trade capacity between the industrial Midwest and Canada's most populated area. With direct connections to limited access highways on both sides, the new bridge will avoid the mess of surface street routes required to use the other crossings. In addition to vehicle traffic, and unlike the other crossings, the Gordie Howe International Bridge allows for pedestrian and bike traffic to cross between the two countries. While vehicles pay a toll to cross, there's no charge for pedestrians and cyclists. This morning, the family of Gordie Howe had the honor of being the first to officially cross the bridge.
>>2079427My favorite are the little shacks with a phone they use in rural areas. >>2079425Think one of the news segments about the opening of the bridge mentioned that there's a separate building for customs if you cross on foot or on a bike.
>>2079425>but there really isn't a single border crossing designed for pedestrian trafficThe one at Niagara Falls is
>>2078501They should rename the Peace Bridge in Buffalo to the Tim Horton in compliance with the custom
>>2079440Plus Niagara Falls is now full of Indians, just like Tim Hortons.
