TransportBros... What do you think Fucking happened here? Shouldn't a yacht like this be able to take a lot of punishment?And how are these Fucking divers only diving for 10 minutes at a time!? Bros, we need more out of you! Are these Fucking highly trained professionals or are these the scrubbies on site!? Now they are saying they are all dead because the divers failed to reach them in time and their Fucking air pocket ran out!
>>2015902>a similar sized boat in the area did not go downYeah, similar sized boat with similar outsized 72 m mast compared to 56 m lenght of the yacht.May we see it?

If someone took it over and cared about intercity bus transportation could it be good?
>>2023601how is the richest country on earth this much of a shit place to be? does nobody care about fixing things? is it an ideological issue?
>>2023892>>2023601>how is the richest country on earth this much of a shit place to be?Going to America and taking a Greyhound bus for transportation is like going to a restaurant, deciding to eat the moist towelettes, and leaving a one-star review.
>>2023894the point is that things shouldn't be that way, other countries have functional and safe long distance busses. a more accurate analogy would be going into a restaurant asking for a glass of water and you get sodomised with a moist towelette instead. and it's not just the grayhounds, it's every single public space and basic public function.
>>2023601I always felt these scenicruisers were one nudge away from being double-deckers. There must be so much underutilized space beneath that upper deck
>>2023472There's not much greyhound itself can do to become a more ideal mode of intercity transit. Cities and their metro areas can prioritize it more but allowing greyhound stations to be in the heart of downtowns and by ensuring their major arterials have dedicated bus lanes that private bus companies are allowed to use. That would make it better, but at the end of the day, Megabus and greyhound were never going to be the best way to get between Dallas and NYC
do you cycle to work? how do you deal with the sweat (and smell) and how sure are you that your coworkers don't hate you and think you're weird for cycling over 10 miles to work ?
>>2021734I thought cycling was an Italian pastime?
>>2021743>>2021814Probably because it's a poor country. Poor people are uncomfortable cycling because it makes them feel poor. This is why there are generally more cyclists in affluent areas than in the ghetto where everyone somehow has a car.
>>2023353this is only really true where there has been stable multi-generational affluence, it takes a while for the trauma of poverty to fade. usually what you'll see in the first-generation wealthy (meaning kids who were born to parents who were born poor), there's still a chip on their shoulder about looking poor so they need to make sure everyone knows they eat steak every night and everyone in the house has nothing less than a 5 series. even if kids have a natural tendency to rebel against their parents, it will have to be done in other ways, the kids have an innate understanding that their social status is completely dependent on the car "flex". so their rebellion might come in the form of choosing a different major in college, or dating someone outside the ethnic boundaries.it's the children of that generation that will feel secure in their social status that they can get comfortable adopting fringe lifestyles like veganism or #carfree
how can cycling (hard physical work) jive with white collar workplace
>>2023358>>2023353There's also the example set by the rich. Poor people emulate what the powerful do, every time, all the time. And you'll notice the royal family rides bicycles in the Netherlands.
Are there any examples of 21st century steam locomotives? Not preserved historical steam engines made in the 19/20th century but original 21st century steam engines.It doesn't matter if it's standard gauge or minimum gauge.
>>2019566How much would it have cost?
>>2019567A lot, they never actually around to finalizing the design, let alone the cost per locomotive. It would have easily run into the tens of millions of dollars because of the need to fabricate custom parts
I made this in SolidWorks a while back.15" gauge
Too soon... I know it has only been a few short years, but they were the last carrier in the U.S that was good.Anyone else feel the same about Continental or some other airline?
>>2023998>Northworst This is the first time I have heard somebody looking them, mind sharing your experiences? We always took Continental, United or Business Express (we might have took Kiwi once, but I just vaguely remember them growing up near EWR). He got a corporate discount for Continental and United, asking with a bunch of other international carriers (British Airways, Caledonian, Air New Zealand, Air India, SAS and Alitalia all come to mind, though we never flew on any of them). My father took Piedmont and Eastern before I was born, though.I guess missing Continental is more for the nostalgia for me, every few minutes, I saw one of their aircraft, now I can't. It feels strange to me.
>>2024000Their original area of expertise was flights to the orient (NWO) and those were noticeably better than the domestic or atlantic routes. I suppose if you were just going between memphis and detroit it wouldn't have seemed so great
>>2024002Fair enough, most of the flights we took were domestic or to the U.K so that makes sense why we avoided Northwest. I am guessing this was mostly done on DC-9s. I never had a chance to fly on one, but I always wanted to. I might go on a Delta flight on a 717 next year just to see what the passenger experience on this shirt of aircraft is like.
>>2024003You should try one leg in first class and another in coach by the engines in the back, it's a really interesting experience to see how different the cabin noise is
>>2024004Alright, I will, of I can afford it... It is a 45 minute flight from my local airport to ATL, so it should be rather cheap.
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.
>>2022497Wow such speed!
>>2022498Manhattan is an exceptional case. This is really simple. Bike lane or sidewalk pn roads over 25mph, no riding abreast.
>>2022512Shut up suburbanite
>>2022512Manhattan is the default reference frame for transportation discussions because it is the only place that technically matters. Your flyover cul de sac probably has some benefits like... I'm sure there's something. But the point is it's irrelevant.
I hate sharing the road with cars. Riding on separate MUPs is better for my safety and, possibly even more importantly, for my comfort. As a side effect, it's also more convenient for the cagers. I'm sure pedestrians hate sharing the MUP with me though.

Year of opening first subway by country. Subways are not a very old technology, and a well-designed city should prettymuch always be expanding or upgrading its subways.
>>2023733These colored maps are never credible.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCnel
>>2023733Why does every city build crappy routes, even new systems in modern cities? Why can't they do their best to build a grid system, lines and stations 2km apart, instead of the spaghetti mess they always end up doing?
>>2023876this would be a perfect solution, if your city happens to be perfectly square
>>2023880Doesn't need to be perfect or a square, a rectangle or a circle can work as well.Cities are constantly sprawling as well, just sprawl into the shape you need.
>>2023926>just sprawl into the shape you need"please re-engineer the above-ground flesh blobs in order to make more practical use of the transit solution i have devised"
>be me>ride Amtrak for cross-country tour across the United States>have lunch>can't have a burger and friesExplain yourselves Americans.
>>2016555>I've only done a couple of trips involving hotels and it was a whole shitshow making sure the plane lined up with the hotel booking and there were literally no vacancies when I arrived so it had to all be in advance.Are you retarded? It's not difficult booking hotels and flights. Any functioning adult should be able to do it all on short notice or day of.
>>2019332I mean if they had a train following Sherman's march to the sea i'd take that trip, but sadly no such train.
>>2007885Are air fryers even any good with fries?

Happy 20th Birthday 4chan. I traveled to Fremont, CA to meet up with some dear friends and family and found out that the the Niles Canyon Railway was doing a steam excursion to commemorate the Bronco Billy Film Festival where they were showcasing silent-era films that were shot in Bay Area at the turn of the century so I booked a last-minute ride aboard it.Will dump my album and go over some history of the railroad and its equipment below.
anti yimby bump

Nice trains, appreciate the dump. I live in Chattanooga, we have a pretty alright steam museum, they even have a streamliner caboose in their yard. I want to be come a steam autist but don't know where to start, any recommendations?
>>2018994That coach has seen better days
This build costs at least $4,000 but will perform like a $500 hybrid. Why is this allowed?

when did MTBing get 'split' up into distinct rider groups?When it started, you had the 'clunker' era which was just rich hippies riding beach cruisers with bigger tires down gravel roads. Then you had the MTB era which was basically road geo with knobby tires. During this era there really weren't any specific types of riders, people just went out and road what they could, they'd pedal up, they'd ride down. Everyone was basically a XC rider. This lasted through the 90s. When did the 'MTB bro' phase start of riders hating climbing and being completely focused on downhill, hating spandex, gotta have a Tacoma with a DAKINE tailgate pad, flat brim hat, etc?
>>2023231Does it? I could take this trail on my gravel bike
>>2023270My bad I was looking at the womens (juvenile?) courses
>>2023250I meant to say a vintage MTB sucks dick at being a MTB, even for XC. They are lovely bikes in their own right for gravel and all-road use.
>>2022445I used to 'mtb' on a steel 10 speed
To sell more bikes. The result is dentists with full sus carbon rutting up blue lines.
Ebikes should require registration and an active insurance policy. $15 million in liability insurance per bike, minimum, to cover the average damage they do every time they explode. That doesn't even cover the loss of life but it's a start. Possession of an unregistered ebike or unregistered parts such as batteries should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison and being banned from touching another ebike ever again. Second offense is life in prison, you can't prove me wrong.>but muh cost of deliveriesMuh cost of rebuilding the entire block after it was leveled and rebuilding the lives destroyed, cash me outside howbou dah?
>>2017059thats not reality. for Li ion batteries, the reaction stops when the battery is cooled down sufficiently. afaik tesla specifies 50.000 liter for their model s. But since the battery is still shot, as soon as cooling stops the reaction will ramp up again. There are two ways we were trained of disposing these. flood in water until the reaction temporarily halts or just let it burn down.Since disposing is not the fire fighters job in the first place, we will douse it in water or let it burn down depending on the location and let a specialized recycler handle the crap. Basically >not my problemThe real fun will be BEV Fires in multi story parking lots. steel loose its strength in high temperature fires, concrete spalls and collapses. In the west we priorities lives over buildings and cars
Low quality bait
Maybe if the flyover states experience enough fatalities there might be a national call to ban these things
>>1948308Knowing how to lose weight is common knowledge; just eat less.How to inspect and discern which battery configuration will spontaneously combust/explode is not something the average person will know, so it makes sense for there to be a standard for manufacturers/sellers to follow.
>>2019574If you weigh 400 pounds you don't get a free seat on the airplane and you don't get to blame the coca cola company. Or at least you shouldn't (in practice with fat acceptance, you do and it's my fault you bought a seat next to me).If you burn down a building killing a bunch of innocent people, by the same token you need to take the punishment, not blame some faceless, nameless company in china that went through 15 middlemen before you bought it for your electric motorcycle.
Confess your sins, /n/.
>>2009258Good. Keep on it.
>>2014997Slow, forgotten boards are the best part of 4chins. I wish /mu/ and /ck/ (my other interests) were more like /n/.
>>2018528I don't think you should feel bad about that.
I clean night trains for a living; my duties mostly involve taking out the dirty sheets and trash and putting in clean sheets for the bed-maker shift, but I also end up making the beds a fair bit myself. I've been doing this for three years and really gotten jaded to it all to the point of slipping on quality standards that, somewhere in the back of my head, I know I should be holding to for the sake of the passengers>sometimes the blankets end up slightly bunched up on one end when I make the beds; even when I have time to fix it, I don't always fix it because I can't really give a shit>sometimes I forget to wash my hands or change out my gloves between handling dirty sheets / trash and putting out the clean sheets; instead of throwing out those clean sheets, washing my hands, and starting over, I just keep going for a little while because we don't really have the time to start over every time that happens>when I make the beds, sometimes the sweat from my head drips onto the clean sheets a bit. I try to avoid this, but I also just keep going when that happens, thinking "lol it's just a few drops of sweat, it'll absorb into the sheets and the passengers won't even notice"; I know this is wrong, rationally, but again, I can't always give a shit>we're not supposed to let people cross the rails to head to the supermarket on the other side, but I don't care enough to stop them>this one time when I was in charge, a co-worker said she had to leave early to pick up her kid from daycare, but I missed that because I wasn't listening carefully enough; shit happened and she ended up being late to that, which I should've planned foram I a piece of shit? yes. do I deserve to have this job if I can't even do it right? no. but it's all I've got at the moment, so I'm too selfish to quit!
