We don't necessarily need an open city simulator game, all we need is one that doesn't suck. You could see that when it came to CO they didn't really have a clear vision, they outsourced the heavy lifting to free mods, and they were obsessed with stupid shit that no one but them but cared about like Chirper.

I've never played W&R but for a focus on logistics they still play the "put everything close to each other or you get penalized" game as far as resources go. I had the opportunity to visit the Tabasco plant in Louisiana and found that even if it was even though far away from the nearest city, it brought in everything it needed (vinegar, glass bottles, labels, supplies, and of course the pepper mash which is grown and imported from South America) and exported product (hot sauce) through a single two-way road, which doesn't see much traffic.

>I've never played W&R but for a focus on logistics they still play the "put everything close to each other or you get penalized
Given how the most efficient systems take advantage of economies of scale its usually the opposite; youll be trucking in ore from one corner of the map and coal from another corner to your primary centralized steel mill- then dispersing that steel to industries that need it elsewhere. You can definitely get by on just dispatching trucks but you obviously end up eating some profit in additional fuel and road maintenance cost.

>I've never played W&R but for a focus on logistics they still play the "put everything close to each other or you get penalized" game as far as resources go.
>I've never played W&R
Evidently. If you had then you'd know that your statement is nonsense. A play style you can confidently use in W&R which I haven't seen to as much degree in similar games is that you don't have to have everything centralized in one big mega city. If you want you can have everything scattered all over the map, building small towns (micro raions was the Soviet term I think) to service a particular resource extraction site or factory. It can get quite cosy once you get a game going.
>>
>>2054188
>the way jobs are assigned is nonsensical and wrecks the whole thing for starters
If public transportation was all the game was about, then I'd agree, but it had to be that way because of the extra restrictions and consequences the game places on citizens' commute times and buildings not having workers present. The player needs someway to ensure citizens get to the jobs they need filled for the city to function at all.

>Cube isn't poorfag

30 years after Mavic Zap, I finally tried three different bikes with electronic shifting (Rival, Force, and Red/XPLR) and it reminded me of the first time I got my dick sucked. It was alright. I'm glad I experienced it. But the overall feeling was like.... "that's all? that's what all the hype was about?"

I am glad it's a thing, I'm glad it's available, I would never tell them to un-invent it. I suppose if you offered to upgrade my current bikes with all electronic I'd probably go for it (might have to think it through first). Overall, it was a disappointment.

So what did I miss here? Is Shimano better or Campy maybe, was the problem fookin SRAM? Is it less about the ride and more the long term ownership experience, the maintenance perhaps? Why do people fork out 2-3x the monies over the cost of perfectly good mech shifting? I can't believe I'm even saying "perfectly good (old thing)". I love my hydro dicks, I love my crabon wheels, I would never go back and those were worth every penny, but the e-shifting was a big letdown. Again, it was fine, but just fine. For all the hype I expected to ejaculate instantly.

Something was either wrong with you or that first blow job.

sucks balls when batteries go kaput mid-ride tho, which is really common on group rides, especially for people riding SRAM because they have coin batteries in the shifters. I once wound up inadvertently doing a singlespeed MTB ride (which was more of a hike) in a high gear because my AXS battery discharged while off the bike, which sucked. Now I bring a battery pack and the battery charger so that I can charge the battery if needed, and of course a spare for the shifter
>>
>>2054522
>carrying a spare battery and charger at all times
Most of the people shilling e-shifting say this is a total non-issue, if it is an issue then that's a total dealbreaker for me
>>
>>2054535
the coin cells in the shifters last years and anyone who isn't ret or new to e-shifting just checks the di2/axs battery before every big ride. They all have a light that indicates the battery status. Carrying an extra battery or charger is something you do for touring or ultra races

t. other guy
>>
>>2054539
with AXS it's better to use the app, but that only works if the system is active, so in the case I ran into, I only found out when I arrived at the trailhead, plugged in the battery, and nothing worked. Also on a recent lunch ride with a friend, his Di2 went kaput in the middle of the ride. He's been riding with Di2 for over a decade now. File under shit happens. Personally I don't think it's a big deal to keep a small battery pack + charging cable (and that shitty battery charger SRAM uses...one nice thing about Campy WRL is that there's a USB-C port right on the battery) with you just in case

>Trains are and will be subject to the exact same sort of thing airports have like long security lines, restrictions on luggage, and overpriced food and drink in the stations.
This sentence is doing all of the lifting in your post and half of it is wrong and the other half is baseless speculation. First of all, trains ARE NOT subject to the same exact burdensome security requirements as airports. I can literally show up 5 minutes before the train leaves and there is nothing between me and stepping on the train. So don't say that they ARE subject to the same nonsense as airports, because as of right now they ARE NOT. Secondly, you have no reason to believe this will magically change because we've updated the routes and trains. Some sections of the Acela route already hit 150mph, and again I can get on that train without dealing with an hour of TSA bullshit. So I'm sorry but if you're entire argument is
>IF someone successfully carries out a terrorist attack on a train at some point in the future then maybe you might have to deal with the same nonsense as an airport HYPOTHETICALLY!
then you don't really have an argument. I'm not talking about the magic land of if and maybe that lives in your mind, I'm talking about reality as it is now, and the reality as it is now is that you don't have to deal with any of this crap to get on a 150mph train.

I'd say his point is that the restrictions on airplanes aka TSA is essentially pointless and just political hand waving, So its likely even possibly inevitable that the same restrictions for "safety" will be applied to trains. The only reason they are not applied now is because the average american never gets on a regional train in their life whereas getting on a plane is average

Are there any actual disadvantages to them? They seem to perform as well as standard bike frames but with the advantage of being easier to mount and dismount without the top bar getting in your way. I know they were originally marketed to women who wore skirts because the top bar on traditional bikes got in the way and exposed their panties but it never quite made sense to me why these weren't just the "default" frame style in the first place, especially since most utility bikes and pretty much every single E-bike on the market uses this style of frame.

it's a neat looking bike but are you getting proper leg extension with the saddle slammed all the way down?
I upholstered a plain carbon saddle with gel cups for shoes, some thick foam and a cover layer over them for my fast bike. it was definitely a project but it came out fine. lay paper over it and cut out a pattern that allows you to glue/staple tabs of the fabric underneath all the way around.
I'd probably just get a Fabrik saddle unless you just really like that one.
