To be clear, I mean the type of excessive sweating that can even be visible on your pants. Not fat btw, pretty much the same body as in the pic hence I wonder why the fuck that is in the first place. Is that a condition thing that would get better when just doing more fitness?
>>2073813Women like to put men in these situations to see if they'll sweat. You failed the test. That's why I got the sweat glands on my ass lasered off. It's not an automatical master key to her holes, but it's one less thing to worry about.If it seems expensive consider the opportunity cost of lost dates. This is a no-brainer when you think about it logically.
you guys go on dates? i just hit up the bathhouse
>>2073830how much did that procedure cost?
>>2074094about three fiddy
stay hydrated my sweaties
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.
>>2060860This is it for me. Every time I've been hit, or nearly hit, I'm just pissed off for a couple days straight.I've accepted that I'm going to die riding these things. I'd really prefer it to be a massive heart attack at like 102 years old doing a century, or yeeting myself over a guardrail doing 65mph on some insane descent. Not getting dragged under the tires of a Kia Soul because Dashkneeqwa was too busy scrolling tinder for her next babydaddy while driving.
>>2071991It's usually someone just looking for parking though.

Why did hydrofoils never take off?
>>2044074Square cubed law prohibits scaling to multi kilotonne sizes. Bad weather (any sea) would require a tens of kilotonne scale, and likely need an unfathomably strong hull to resist constant wave action hitting the hull at speed.Worse, cavitation of the hydrofoil onsets around 50knots, destroying L/D; not much faster than a highspeed displacement hull.It’s disappointing.
>>2072560Maybe they could make an articulating hydrofoil, like an aquatic centipede, so the big ocean swells can't break it.
>>2072101They chew through fuel at 3 times the rate of other ships, which is their only real operational disadvantage. Aside from top speed, their other advantage that doesn't get discussed much is that they can lean into turns so their maneuvering circle is a lot smaller than ships in the same displacement class.The Navy wanted to decommission their hydroplane cruisers primarily because the role they ended up in (drug boat interception) is something they wanted to get out of. So they invented a lot of technical and operational reasons why they didn't want to keep their fleet operational.It was all an indirect excuse to try to push that specific job onto the Coast Guard.
I drew a boat that has a bilge keel with winglets, elevators, 3 rudders with a center to get prop wash for turning at stop, and a M bow that blends with the bilge keel.The idea is to get a semi-displacement hull that can plane past hull speed at like 15 knots. Bermuda sloop with a genoa for solo sailing capability. I would also have electrical winches for auto-pilot Would it work? I don't know. Drawing is incomplete cause I need to learn all the parts of sail and lines, and layouts.But the keel would be filled with foam to decrease displacement and so would the keel canards, Also the boat could rest on it's keel at low tide so it would need to be structurally strong like an arch to support 5,000 lbs. I would have ballast above that and use a double hull construction where the inside hull has access panels and filled with foam.I want a ocean voyaging sail boat that can sail itself autonomously and do so quickly.
>>2044074Happy Birthday, Hydrofoil Thread!
How do these large cargo backpacks compare with a bicycle trailer? I need to haul 100kg of cargo on a bicycle
>>2055802it's for flavor
>>1957568lol how is this thread still alive
>>2071959You just answered your own question.
I love this thread. I'm a messenger and carrying even 15-20kg on your back feels like shit.
>>2074013>I'm a messengerGood morning sir
How in the fuck are they pulling this shit off? These commies are making us look like clowns! What is the reason for this?!
I forgot I made this thread
>>2073187that was before china was conquered by mongols and manchus and lost it, while Japan got and kept all the good parts.
>>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

Thinly veiled e-bike containment thread.I bought a Tern Orox to prepare for the Australian madmax fuel apocalypse. Did I fuck up? What else should I have looked at for a cargo hauler with decent range and the ability to ride poorly maintained outback roads?
>>2075824>small wheels on a bike do look hella gayThat's all I needed to hear. Thanx, Anon. I guess I'll be opting for the 20" wheels.
>>2069366I would absolutely drive one of those if it had decent speed and if I could find "parking"
>>2075845Same but 99% of them are hard-locked to walking speed. but seriously whats the different between getting one of those and some shit like picrel
>>2075771Anything smaller than 20in is a meme and pain in the ass to source parts. 20inch fat tires are common and cheap as shit.
>>207591720inch scooter tires are effectively The Standard the same way 26" on a bike is le slow but they're also ten fucking dollars at at any store instead of 60 for any other size

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?
>>2072941i was wondering if i could find the same chink OEM one somewhere but i actually found a review of the exact brand i foundhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovt3nyL0Rz0and an american retailer having a SERIOUS fuckin gigglehttps://workshoptools.com/products/farpoint-two-pack-rechargeable-350lum-headlamps-flhr35206
>>2070556you should have both desu. idk why car and bike light manufacturers alike stopped making lenses have reflectors in them so it both acts as a reflector AND diffuses the light so you dont just blind oncomingengineers are all incompetent now and i genuinely believe that the current workforce is objectively stupider than it has ever been
>>2073812It's a combination of boomers all dying off and retiring, and zoomers entering the workforce en masse. So you had a population of people who only ever knew how to read and do things manually, going straight to a population of people who think more than 3 words at a time is unc aggro 6-7 u mad, and it's that or AI, so of course everything will become stupider
>>2075758This, Gen X and Millennials never worked a day in their life. They got free houses thanks to coof kickbacks. Boomers built the world we live in and Zoomers have to maintain it with zero education and even lower IQ.
>>2075759No one said that, zoomer. Stop trying to align yourself with generations that actually aren't brain dead covid zombies. You and the alphas stay in the back of the bus where you belong
I know there are better systems, but I like them.

Newest season came out RIGHT as my trip to Taiwan ended which was so cool as I went to lots of those places. Was so stoked to see Downie Live as the guest star. I think this show got a lot of new people into vehicles and transit.
Buy an ad, faggot.
The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.
>oh yeah? well if you don't like ebikes you are a boomer>I mean you are a tech bro>I mean you are white and therefore racist>I mean are black or an immigrant and therefore poisoning the blood of our nation>you're a mansplaining man, man. stop being sexist!>you're a feminazi woman, woman, stop being misandrist!>but what about private equity? bet you hate/like private equity huh?>but what about walmart? walmart americans walmart do americans really? mcdonalds!>do you support elon musk? you hate tesla right? trannies? trannies!The level of whataboutist desperation in this thread is absolutely fucking insane, how many culture war distractions are you going to try to pile on here before you give up and run your unlicensed electric motorcycle into a tree trunk
>>2075682Americans will brag about driving without a license and how "it's not driving it's travelling" and then think it's a slam to say e-bikes aren't licensed (Even though only NJ requires such). Lol. Lmao.
Do ebikes pay road tax? Then why are they allowed on the road?
>>2075695The sovereign citizen mongoloids are the ebike mongoloids, you mongolid. Get rid of one and you get rid of both.

>>2074272ok but it is still windy out and i need places to put my Black Rifle Coffee and Girls' Frontline stickers so i'll stick with my visor'd hard hat
>>2074028Kek I wish I could have witnessed that
>>2074010It's a good idea for countries with mandatory helmet laws. I'd just wear a nice thing black band around my neck. When police ask me if it legitimate and works, I'd say if course, are you going to crash into me just to prove it? Because there's no others way. Then ride off
It better be cool and washable because I'm going to soak it in sweat while riding
>>2074010You're better off with a decent helmet (no $40 chinesium special) and an airbag jacket with inflatable collar restraint.
>Less than a week left until shutdown>Only a decade run>Only one line completed out of several proposed>Underperformed despite a Union Station connection and being in one of America's best transit citiesSo, what went wrong here?

>>2073460Cause there will be no enforcement for blocking the streetcar....
>>2068940>"best transit cities"Cause of the metro? How are we parsing here? Dc region is the epitome of car hell.Anyway, you can still take the Marc to Baltimore to use the light rail if you are a fetishist.
>>2075328considering how much DDOT likes speed cameras, I have no idea why they didn't just apply it to enforcing keeping the lane clear and charging a thousand dollars for each violation.

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"?
>>2000001I just don't want to be associated with obnoxious lycra clad biker dads
