IM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS SHIT FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>2002967Treat it like college and actually have an interest in aviation and airplanes that's borderline if not entirely autistic. And realize you will be competing with Air Force and US Navy graduates for the same positions too so you have to work extra hard. Alternatively if you don't have any actual health issues just join one of those too.

i'm starting air traffic control training in oklahoma in a few monthscan't wait to have zero free time to browse this shitty site and just direct planes all day
>>1995132Worst idea you could ever possibly give to anyone, the market is saturated as fuck, no unions, "good salary" is not true anymore, night shift is NEVER paid but always required, and many other things I can't even remember right now.t. code currynigger
>>1995781That was a phenomenal emergency landing without front gear.
Do you keep a dedicated cheap "rain bike" to neglect and abuse for wet and winter weather riding?
>>2004764kek
>>2005154I bet you boil your chains once a week
>>2005147>thinks a beater means inoperablelol
>>2005351nta but what's wrong with that?
Rain/snow bike - check. Abuse - check.Cheap? Neglect? No, it is a money pit and I have to keep it running in order to get to work.
You're at the cyclist cafe when this lady compliments your orchid collection.What do you do, /n/? Oh and she's 163cm and 49kg, all slow twitch.
>>1993264Fixie hate is so 2015
>>1981353>>1991065BMI cope is for confirmed fatties
>>1991060The entire concept of a "Muscle mommy" is delusional. Bodybuilder women are women. Vain women who want validation, hence why they both want a roided up build but also big tits and long nails. If anything they're twice as feminine as normal women because they specifically focus on their lack of tits and motherly curves.
>>1981075I tell her she will bear me strong sons who will dominate the TdF, and offer to take her behind the shed and creampie her pussy. I also tell her that the op is a fag and will give her twink sons with defective genes who will suck at cycling.

It disgusts me how today's so-called "cycling activists" are doing the work of the automotive lobby while thinking that they're the good guys.Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you".That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal".People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.
>>2004868blue, aparently
>>2004959must be very blue for you to think the police are going to ticket themselves or have their own cars towed
>>2002917Some cocksucker who influenced a generation of traffic engineers into never building bike infra despite having no formal training.
>>2005062Even the traffic engineers are coming around to hating him. He was the original "Trust me bro" of bike safety.
>>2005063>forester is wrong because david byrne is scared of muggings becoming common againI wonder how much crack you have to smoke for this to sound like a plausible defense of segregationism
Do you wear a helmet while riding your bicycle?
the other day i almost hit two cyclists with my car because they were crossing the road even though i had the right of waythose cycllists didnt wear helmets, so that would have been pretty bad for them. they were also arabs though
>>2005028manlet fantasies
>>1960161probably one of the greatest fp's of all time
>>1960158Just like I said in your other shitpost thread: STFU and mind your own business, faggot
27 professional racers died during a race in the years since 2003, when UCI made helmets mandatory. These 27 are excluding known cardiac causes.12 racers died in the two decades prior to this rule, including Andrey Kivilev which triggered this uci rule.Medical care and knowledge about the brain has increased during this time. But so has the number of cyclists.
Why aren't concrete roads more common?
>>2005108Concrete sucks. Noising and extremly ba-bump -ba-bump uneven after 10 years then it take forever to replace. Asphalt is amazing for 8 years tolerable for 8 years and takes a week to replace. Trucks ruin roads. Asphalt road with no truck allowed last forever
>>2005269The freeways in my state are raked inline with travel, so on a motorcycle with older tires with inline lines your bike "weaves" gently as you go straight.Not a big deal but another downside.Would be bad on a bicycle, but those paths are asphalt near me, or smooth sidewalks.
I hate it when road crews patch concrete potholes with asphaltBut they do a shitty job patching asphalt roads too
Concrete works best in warm climates where you don't have frost heave. Concrete is harder to patch since you have to cut out a section, fill it, then let it cure. On top of the frost issue here we have expansive clay causing expansion and shrinkage of the sub-base.
>>2005300>On top of the frost issue here we have expansive clay causing expansion and shrinkage of the sub-base.cement treated earth can help cope with this issue.It would just suck ass to do on a roadway.Expansive clay is pretty crazy if you just have an asphalt base for your sitework.Shit grows like mad when it's wet.
A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

>>2000421i had a good buddy in college who dated a girl from an extraordinarily wealthy west coast lumber baron family. at their yearly family get together all the younglings would pitch their entrepreneur ideas to the adults and many of them would end up getting funded. most failed, of course, but failure is part of being a serial entrepreneur, or even the average small business owner. as you say, it's obviously easier to take these sorts of business risks when you know it won't ruin you financially or really have any effect at all. never forget that the vast majority of wealth is inherited, not won from scrapping in the free market
Hi, I don't post here ever but I don't have many people to talk to in my life about this and since it's about aviation I think it's a relevant topic here. If it's not mods pls delete, I don't wanna offtopic. I applied for Air Traffic Control in April when enrollment opened and I just got correspondence that I've been accepted to take the ATSA.Unfortunately the only time I had available was like 8 AM in a couple days, but I took it since I really want it. I'm super excited, I've been making a lot of moves to renovate my life to something less awful and this is a huge step in that direction. If I do well this will completely change how I live for the better.Are there any ATC anons here or anons who've taken the ATSA in general? What should I expect or consider? All I know is it's a 3 and a half hour assessment on logic-based problems you don't need to study for.
I don't have anything to answer your question but this thread deserves a reply and I must say congrats.
i heard air traffic control is very stressful and that you also have to take really terrible locations and shift times for your first few years. i heard last year about air traffic control and i never even thought about it before but thought it might be cool, especially like you somewhat, im a complete loser close to suicide and maybe a good career would help me. then it turns out i was already too old to apply.
Does a private pilot licence help you get chicks even if you don't have your own plane?
>>2005226It will make a girl who already likes you like you even more. It will not get you chicks or really any amount of female attention by itself. The key is that nobody cares until they go flying, and nobody is going to go flying with a tinder date or whatever. If you get to CFI you will get weird girls with daddy complexes touching your thigh and making very overt gestures to you, but trust me that is not as fun as it may sound.
>>2005226No, it won't outright. 90% of the kids getting private licenses are very dorkish, but passionate.
*bonk*
>>2002113>guy with backpack shakes the blood and brain matter off his hands at the end
>>2003844yeah but odds are you'd misjudge how to position yourself and you'd end up perfectly lucid as you get quad amputated and your spine severed at the neck and then you're just trapped in your head for the next 45 years eating through a tube
>>2005156I was thinking that it was probably just the sheer blunt trauma to the brain killed her instead of actual real injury.How did the back of her head not explode like a watermelon?
>>2002113Why do non-whites try so hard to convince us that they're humans when they don't even value their own lives
>>2005227What they really want is access to White people, they absolutely don't want to be around more people like themselves.

Is grant petersen's quote still true?
isn't this just richard stallman's quote with the words swapped around to bicycle things?
>>2005071>>1986210
>>2004910That's great but if I need parts I can just buy a used bike for under 100usd and stash the spares.Never forget that gravel is basically hybrid 2.0
