Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.
Did a bunch of you just find out about broken windows theory because of me?
>>2058163Funny thing is, the Romanian Bucharest Metro authority actually encouraged people to graffiti up some ancient-ass rolling stock. They figured out it was way cheaper (read: free) to get vandals to paint the trains for them.
You can barely see out of the windows on most renfe trains
>>2058163I assume because they can not guarantee that the graf artist hasn't fucked with the train in another way (severing lines, tampering with equipment etc) so they need to clean and inspect before being put into service. I've never tampered with a train after painting it but some wilder crews will intentionally break shit. I love metro graf. unofficial, unpaid, illegal penetration testers that show how pathetic modern day metro security is. Imagine having 30+ mins of unrestricted access to mass public transport carriages if you were a bad apple. Unthinkable
>>2058187It would be interesting to have pentesters and metro writers make a presentation for something like Defcon, but a lot of people would get mad after that. There's so god damn many layers to this it's unreal. Emergency brakes, literally stalking for 2+ weeks in bushes for worker and guard activity, looking at timetables.. I hope one day there'll be something like I mentioned, but the secrecy will die along with it. On the other hand, people have been doing this since the 70s in some way shape or form, it'll just get more complicated for those in the sport
Are the wingy bits on the butt important?Why wouldn't you just stop when it was on the ground?
>>2058278boss will kill me if i crash helicopter, and if boss gets blood on his hands he'll kill my family too so i'll kill myself and helicopter in crash and keep boss's hands clean
>>2058282Based and bootpilled
>>2058272Nah, that part is just decorative. The pilot was probably drunk.
>there's a helicopter about to crash and the retard is filming a fucking panoramaAlso he didn't fly so good.
>>2058281My assumption is that they were unaware of the tail situation.But why not land immediately and assess the damage... no idea. Just Russian things.
Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.
>>2056333>Just look at what they took from us Man I wish I just hadn't been socially awkward and beta as fuck when I was literally surrounded by women like this most weekends.
>>2040047real nigga
Single speed sucksFixed gear really suckI'd like a bare bones beater 7 speed cruiser or rigid MTB for my roads and easy trails. 12 gears minimum imoI considered making this fit 2" slicks but I really need to be able to drop the seat. I need more gears. Need front and rear brakes. Why make life hardYo fuck 4chan and this captcha shit man fuck this place I'm out
>>2051979yes cause you live in a passover shithole that leeches culture out of other areas ten plus years later. The interesting thing about small town people is how they've likely never met someone actually intelligent so they don't know how small their brains operating space is like the rest of us who have bumped shoulders with someone who is 145 iq
>>2054377>>2054376so riding fixie is one of those things that requires a trust fund
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:1. COVID 19. Enough said.2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.3. Reddit. Enough said.4. Twitter. Enough said.5. British "people". Enough said.6. The d-tch. Enough said.7. The state of Utah. Enough said.8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.What were some other key moments?
>>2058227>he thinks bikes are ridden on sidewalks
>>2058228There you go again, pretending to be something you're not
>>2058228its so weird for a single fat woman to have a picture of an attractive and married womans hand typing on saved to their PC
>>2058228anonbikes are ridden everywhereon bike lanes, on sidewalks, inna woods and on the roadfuck, i ride my bike in my apartament building, it has a long corridor from my door to the elevatorbike is universal transportation, if you can walk you can ride
>>2058409>if you can walk you can ridecheckmate
Post road network gore.
>>2058354>Trying to transport cargo by rail here in Germany is completely absurd for anyone that isn't some large chems corp or other such facility and thus you have heavy trucks splitting roads everywhere at over-proportional rates.It's not much different here, and with very few exceptions public transit agencies don't move freight, that's up to the actual railroads. I'm not sure how it works in Germany, are passenger and freight handled under the same transportation company? In the US, increasing public transit funding and building out a big passenger rail system won't affect truck volumes.>>2058355That looks like a brand new roundabout without signage/striping put in yet but still, how stupid can you be
>>2058364>In the US, increasing public transit funding and building out a big passenger rail system won't affect truck volumes.Neither would it here because access and regulation for rail makes it financially and organizationally impossible for private companies to transport shit via railAnd building rail hubs or even a fucking 300m bit of railway is infinitely harder legally than a bit of paved road for trucks which it fucking shouldn't be but it do beIncreasing hydrocarbon scarcity will have to do what myopic boomer retards refused to
>>2050288It's fixed
>>2058396Surreal how russians are still stuck in the "let's pump the city full of ten-lane highways that'll surely solve traffic" mindset.Then again traffic obviously wasn't going to be solved by that half-assed "central diameters" scheme.
Tallship bros, we're so fucking back.
back from where? i didn't even notice you were gone, i completely forgot about you
Hello guys (and that one girl who is here).OP from >>2024166 here.Found another old gem, in this case from TGV. French language? Check.Strange music? Check.Sensual start with a woman voice? Check.Also: absolutely interesting footage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VTfoSltNRIThis one in English, but with old footage:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHqZ6PjZ7voComment too long.

>>2057867It was very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
>>2057867SNCF archives are awesome.Have the 1955 record that started it all, complete with goats, stilts and unhealthy train on rail and train on OHL violence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzJl7jMYMw
>>2058016that IS a find! :-)
I have one about the TGV-M in english:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kg74ut6SNU
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.
>>2039697Only one propeller is left (the others were removed when the ship was decommissioned) and it's basically permanently stuck in place.
>>1938375just found this thread OP, i didnt look through it yet but i can see its qualitygonna look at it tomorrow because it sso late already, thanks, ive been really interested in the QM
>>2054639It was used to lob 1900 pound shells at a renowned wine producing region of lebanon in the 1980s
>>1938375Ok GAYwhat's it like to be GAYDo you like taking dick up the ass GAY
>>1956400fuck you, sicophant. you aren't that politician, you aren't winning.
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.
>>2054394Brooks encourages bad hip position. It's like putting an old fashioned lazy boy recliner on your bike
I ride about 200 miles weekly in regular jeans. Occasionally some discomfort. At the beginning there was a bit of soreness but eventually it stopped. I hope I'm not damaging anything doing this.
>>2043922I don't have this problem, my inner thigh hurts really bad and my muscles get all acidic.
>>2058205okay boomer
>>2058314brooks are specifically made for boomers though
HEY HEY, COME ON OVER! IT'S TIME TO MAKE SOME CRAAAAZY MONEY, ARE YA READY?HEREWEGO!>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPdQr5BP7nw
>>2054706Holy fucking shit, shut the fuck up, you retarded small pecker loser incel.
>>2055298>jeet>talking about small peckerslmao
>>2055301We talking bout cock
For me, it's the visibly broken window on one of the 'Luxurious Buses and Coaches' lol
>>2058221You could probably keep a shard as a soup venir..
How in the fuck are they pulling this shit off? These commies are making us look like clowns! What is the reason for this?!
>>2031662>we've gotta talk about chinaYour pic is from Shenzhen which is noted for how atypical of China it is.It has many elements of Hong Kong civilisation as well as old Cantonese culture and western technocratic innovation.Other Chinese megacities have impressive metros too and there's high speed rail of course but Shenzhen is probably the most advanced in China (HK is superior though).
>>2031722>any random stop won't have the space as shownBut they do. The doors and the trains are designed together.No trains run on that line that aren't compatible with the doors and every station on the line is designed to be compatible with the trains.
>>2034067>I'm not sure I'd trust Chinese mass transit.It's really fine.Quite good actually.I lived in China for years and never heard of a single incident in a train station. Literally none.Trains are barely even late.
>>2046955japan that stole everything including the soicetal structure from china is long gone, nuked into oblivion, twice. when they were rebuilding it into the society they have today, china was even more fucked than they were, so they built something completely new, a society valuing stability, to a faultand the china that japan stole everything from doesn't exist either, trampled by brits, then japs, then soviets, then mao. mao inadvertently built a society where tomorrow is never assured, and you have to climb as high as you can to have some gliding distance in case it all comes crashing down yet again, for everyone or for you personally, so it's still an extremely competitive society that kills its weak, walks past losers and worships the strong
>>2031666They hated him because he told the truth
TGVs should be orange. Blah blah blah different liveries blah blah variety blah blah I don't care. TGVs should be orange.
All locomotives should be orange
>>2057842TGV 001 is peak "what if train, but racecar?".I love it for what it is, the last iteration of a concept that only worked as long as oil costed nothing, but am still kinda glad it died when it did, allowing the program to transition to electric power before sunk cost kicked in.Had it gone through, we'd also never have had the opportunity for the absurdity of the direct Paris - Les Sables d'Olonnes service that used to imply towing a TGV with a diesel over the last leg as that line was only fully electrified in 2008.
Well in India some trains are red and other train are blue.
>>2058234They are all blue, if some turn red is just because of the blood of victims.
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.
>>2054880Daytime running strobes are a game changer. The two times I've had a crash involving a car, it was in the daytime, and I had left my lights at home that day
>>2054961That's why i don't use Gatorskins. Awful handling in wet conditions.
>>2044901i felt fine about the crash, the cast and brace less so. be careful guys, never think you can take the right of way, be careful going downhill.
>>2054961Wet metal bad is a lesson you only need to learn once
>>2054961>now I have some kind of PTSD when cornering. Does this shit ever go away?Welcome to the club, no it never goes away and if it does, you'll make the same mistake again to remind you to never relax. Take it as a blessing and a curse
Later today /n/‘s divegrass team kicks off it’s 2025 Autumn Cup campaign against /d/. After missing out on the Summer Cup by a single goal we’re back with a new look team and in a good place to do well.

/n/ vs /h/ is just about to kick off, it's time for the rape trainstream: isthisliv.com/stream
This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjFOYLAtoEBoth the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing. But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.
>>2049693>It wasn't until 1985 that trains actually stoped here and people going to Tohoku had to take a relay train to Omiya.w-why didn't they just go to Tokyo Station? It's in the opposite direction but just four stops away, surely it would of been faster than taking a slow train all the way to Omiya first.
>>2056769Couldn't remember off the top of my head, so I checked a reference book I have. Basically, budget at the time was very tight. Pretty much every shinkansen line project has gone massively over budget, and with the development of the Tohoku Shinkansen, the cost continued to increase further due to having to develop the line in response to protests regarding noise pollution. A lot of money was also wasted on development of the cancelled Narita line. Although, it was mostly the issues with protesting against noise pollution that made it impossible for them to get any closer to Tokyo at the time. I can't find the pages talking about the development of the Shinkansen in Omiya station, but I assume that it was a combination of protests happening less frequently and more effort put into designing railways to dampen noise and vibrations via walls and viaducts.
Sorry for the necro, OP here, made another thread for the TGV:Please check it out too:>>2057867
