>>2068720Who pays for all this shit? Like is there a crash surcharge sent to airlines when an airport has to hang on to the wreckage?
>>2068721presumably the NTSB pays the bills as part of their investigation, but I think JetBlue would charge a crash fee

When Chresten Wilson was 12 years old, she and her mom drove past United Airlines' Flight Training Center in Denver. She looked at the building and told her mom: "I'll be there someday."This year, she became the No. 1 most senior pilot across the entire airline, the highest position on United's pilot seniority list. She is the first woman in the airline's history to hold that honor. Wilson currently flies as a Boeing 787 Dreamliner captain, one of the most prestigious positions in the fleet.At an airline with over 13,000 pilots, reaching the top of the seniority list takes decades of dedication, skill, and persistence. In the airline world, seniority is everything. It determines what aircraft you fly, what routes you get, what schedule you hold, and when you take vacation. Reaching No. 1 means you have been with the airline longer than every other active pilot on the roster.United shared the moment on social media for International Women's Day, showing Captain Wilson at the gate in her uniform, clearly emotional. The post has been liked by Boeing and has received more than 42,000 likes.From a 12-year-old girl with a dream to the most senior pilot at one of the world's largest airlines. That is what determination looks like.

>>2067349>reaching the top of the seniority list takes decades of dedication, skill, and persistenceNo, it takes>you have been with the airline longer than every other active pilot on the rosterJust don't quit and don't get fired for longer than anyone else (being Continental before the merger helped). It's not like she aced the civilian Top Gun, she was just a glorified bus driver for a really long time and will get retired out in a manner of months
>>2069088>a manner of monthslol
>>2067349If it's boeing....
>>2069089If the guys above her in seniority retired, it means she's about to hit the age where they put her out to pasture
These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them.

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 hate other cyclists more than people who don't ride a bike. I usually refer to myself with>I ride a bikebut I don't object to people calling me a cyclist under that term. >appropriately follow the rules of the road as outlined in the driver manual and state code>am fine sharing the road with cars, they don't bother me much>ride on the highway when necessary>more interest in the mechanical parts of a bike, but skeptical of marketing voodoo claims>don't give a shit about road races>don't wear lycra>but do wear a helmet>think mountain bikes are cool machines, but pro MTB is slow and gay outside of things like megavalanche or downhill favela races>trick riding is boring>see carbon fiber as a scam for non-racersComment too long.

hey /n/ this is my cat rupert i was thinking about taking him on the bus to see the sights of the city but i couldnt find any rules on it, do you know if can cats go on busesi have a cat carrier but would he be allowed out to see out the window?
>>2057259Just chain them to the radiator so they can't get in trouble. Like Christina Ricci in cat form.
>>2056672>>2064014how do people take cats out like this aren't they worried that the cat will panic and fuck off in a random location never to be seen again
>>2065597They do, but you don't see pics or videos of the ones who do because the owners are embarrassed

An entry level new bike, that is agreeable to ride, not dragged down by antiquated standards like QR, that you won't regret buying, nor immediately feel the urge to swap out half the components because of cut corners, cost approximately USD $1500 at standard retail prices as of late 2024, give or take a few hundred (depending on the finer details).Now, the prices are going to go up by at least 20%, and the smaller independent brands are going to go under as only the largest players will have the spare cash to ride out the sudden loss of consumer confidence. The most interesting and original bike products will simply disappear from the market permanently until the next wave of prosperity (which may be entirely concentrated somewhere far away and foreign, so that only the wealthiest of your peers will be able to import and use such goods).How does that make /n/ feel?

Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?
>>2064064They made a sequel to Liquid 2?
>>2055119stop being poor
The only bike I have ever had with a full groupset was the Peugeot my parents bought me back around 1990.
ive been riding on random shit i pull off of facebook marketplace bikes and its loud as fuck.

>>2066642Are you poor? Just get a new chain.
Nothing beats the original bike chain lube.
>>2066642I use drip wax, it usually lasts ~300km.I wax the chain at the night and in the morning it's rock solid.No marks on your hands and no cleaning needed
I just put a huge blob of vaseline on there. Take a good shot-sized chunk and run the chain through it right in my bare hand. Feels good man

Mexican railways thread? The government of Mexico is trying to bring back long distance passenger routes and building light rail in the Mexico City metropolitan areaRailway history in Mexico is actually very interesting. They used to have a national railway company called FNM after they nationalized all the railroad companies in 1908, until the 1990s when they privatized it. >Isthmus of Tehuantepec railway - three lines >Buenavista to AIFA airport to Pachuca intercity railway>Texcoco to La Paz light rail >Costeno, Jarocho route revival>Mayan Train
>>2066899The trolleybus network was in terrible shape until they got some new chinese trolleys. They also got new chinese LRTs. So maybe if China sells them some trams they might get some tram lines going as well.
>>2066957China doesn't really sell trams except for that DRT shit. I'm sure they could probably custom order it though. Mexico City trams would probably be CAF, Siemens, Bombardier
>>2067013>Mexico City trams would probably be CAF, Siemens, BombardierThey could never afford that.

In the 2000s, IC cards were all the rage and adopted in many places across the world for fare payment. Is this technology effectively dead now that Apple Pay has this function built in, and all chipped credits card also have this tap to pay ability?
Also, Osaifu-Keitai is fundamentally based on Sony's FeliCa, which all phones emulate in Apple Pay/Google Pay/Samsung Pay unless your phone is junk. Apple has had it since iPhone 7 in Japan , and worldwide it's been there since iPhone 8. Lagdroid manufacturers often refuse to pay the license for it, hence it's disabled on their models (poor people).>>2068015open sores is a disease
>>2068004I still use the cards if they're available. If you don't register them they're semi-anonymous, which I appreciate. Plus they're fun souvenirs.
>>2068032>iphone/apple brand loyalty>0 idea about tech and financesname a more iconic duo
>>2068009>>2068012Felica is honestly far superior than all of it's competitors, the only reason it didn't become an international standard is because of Japanese licencing autism.
>>2068004They still use these in Montreal and they work just fine, and they still operate off a 20 year old data standard that costs more to break than a ticket would.
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.
>>2046762Normies have less excuses to not ride. I always get on like a horse so its a non issue to me.
>>2046762It looks gay
>>2047500Israel won, man.
