any idea how to make a wheel disc like this?
>>1132365Bit of a reach, but here's your (You), (You) tried and that's what counts
>>1132416Usually as a cyclist I'm worried about being hit accidentally, but with anime decals I'd have to worry about being hit on purpose
>>1132621if you spin fast enough they might not be able to tell

Can we have a self driving car thread?
>>1130998This. Self driving cars are already that good.
>>1130845You don't use your eyes, do you?
>>1130958>people are going to dieA lot less people compared to today's traffic deaths.
>>1130872Within one of the recent builds several of the vehicles ended up giving cyclists too much space and drifted into the opposite lane.
>>1130872This is a problem how?
>riding on the transpyrenean railway>already into the mountains>outside its cold and raining>sitting in comfy train>at the border a comfy night train is waiting for me>tfw riding first class in the night trainWords can not describe this level of comfiness
>>1131339no, you can sit in second class, get checked then sit in first class then nobody would bother.
Well fuck. My train was cancelled and there was chaos at the Gare d'Austerlitz because of a breakdown in Gare de Montparnasse and they're moving trains to Austerlitz. To top it all of there was a bomb threat and we had to leave. So I just said fuck it and got me a hotel room. Had to get me a day ticket for tomorrow which cost me a bunch, too. I just hope those motherfuckers will compensate me, but I don't get my hopes up. What a bunch of nasty cunts. One can't even travel in Europe anymore without getting fucked over. Last time it was security strike at the airport in Barcelona where you had to spend literally hours and hours waiting to go through security, and now this shit when taking the train. >>1131339I had my ticket checked every time. Maybe because I was travelling first class. Maybe because it's the train to switzerland and they work a bit differently. I'll tell you tomorrow if they checked me on the train to Spain.
>>1130210>447 Series>ComfyPick one
>>1132706The ones with regional style seats are tho.
>I'll tell you tomorrow if they checked me on the train to Spain.Here we are on Thursday...
How do we kill buses once and for all?Is pic related the answer?Because I'm American, and we don't have either walkable cities or the patience to wait for a bus.
>>1132019>having only those who have served their country in the military have a say in how the government is run,
>>1132492>t. Never gave anything back to his countryConscriptiConscription should be mandatory so fags like you can be forced to do something with their lives
>>1132400 That's why I mentioned unmanned bus. I simply disagree with guideway PRT with dedicated physical contact- guided vehicles (eg kerb-guided). Optically guided vehicles can be tried... >>1132381Talking about expenses compared to trolleybus. As with modern conventional BRT, what make buses good is their flexibility. Not a big fan of BEV bus, especially supercapacitor buses. Still they are worth advocating for. Personally inclines towards series hybrid electric and PHEV.
>>1132606Lol, ok
>>1131159> we don't have either walkable cities or the patience to wait for a bus.Just make those buses come once every 5 minute
BEST TRANSPORTATION AROUND!...What happened? Where did the seaplanes go? All that seems to be left is shitty and less reliable floatplanes...
Hi /n/,The next time you travel shinkansen, try the Gran class if it has one. It's like one class above Green class. Huge comfy seats, and service of food and drinks included.Pic related is my seat right now.
>>1132127Japan isn't like the US. They actually take immigration seriously.
>>1132123Can't tell if stupid or jesting, hilarious either way
>>1132284Isn't that just to transfer Seven Stars train passengers from the train station to destinations?
>>1132289>NJ TransitThat's your mistake>>1132396Yes it is
>>1132284>>1132396>>1132398There are overnight intercity highway bus with personal compartments, literally a closed room with door.
Why don't you use roller skates /n/?
mostly cause my ankles would die immediately
>>1128836 I'm not a cute grill
>>1130964Same shit. It's like Kleenex vs tissue, Band-Aid vs adhesive bandage, or Q-Tips vs cotton swabs.
>>1128836>Gravel on the sidewalk>Large cracks>Awkward to stop suddenly if an obstacle comes out of nowhere>Have to figure out how to store them when you get to your destinationI used to love rollerblading for fun as a kid but it's a shitty way to get around compared to a bike.
>>1128836I would if I was an under cooked cheese pizza qt3.14 that knew how to do thishttps://i.imgur.com/ZXV8lbX.gifv
Old thread (>>1104398) reached image limit
>>1127470Lol, I get on to the train there every morning
>>1129821>>1129822Was that where the current station is or the old trainsheds next to it?Also, termini are A S T H E T I C as fuck and should be mandatory for major cities.
>>1130425I completely agree. Terminus train sheds are the end boss of train stations.
Tanggula railway station>As of 2010, no passenger transport service was available since the region is uninhabited.[citation needed] A through train may stop at the station to wait for another train coming from the opposite direction to pass, but passengers are required to remain on the train.[citation needed]Really makes me think…
>>1121861Denver is a based city. Connecting that station to the airport was a genius idea but all of the stops between it and Union Station are all sketchy as fuck streets surrounded by manufacturing facilities that hardly anyone uses.
>your state had a comprehensive railway network>50 years ago they ripped it upSomeone hold me.
>>1131707Can I ride my bike on its rims on the rail?
>>1131752I require some kind of fucking frankenbike made with fatboy rims that has like, a training wheel that hangs off the side on the other rail to keep you upright and you just peddle along railroad tracks without really even having to steer
>>1131481>railcucksPassenger Trains are obsolete. Planes do everything better
>>1131752Trains that hold bikes tend to be more useful. You can jump on a train and go 200 miles, and cycle around somewhere you've never been before, in a weekend.
>>1132624You cyclists are insufferableJust fucking bike there
What did you do to your bike today?>brushed and oiled chain (didn't degrease)>checked chain wear>adjusted brakes>dusted and inspected frame
>>1131308For freehub bolts I use hex sockets. Mine is an impact set, but cheap harbor freight / princess auto ones will do.
>>1131492Not him, but it you think that's dangerous, you are an idiot.I've used that method multiple times and it just works.
>>1131460>>1131485>>1131487Thanks for the suggestions. Got no spare handlebars. Tried the wrench idea, but won't work as the flat parts of the hex aren't in the correct plane.Ended up buying pic related which will hopefully give me enough leverage.
>>1132401>>1131674Also thanks
>>1121343Not for me, but I ordered a set of pic-reladeds for my dad's old bike to surprise him on christmas.

Why did they go with the b2707 when the L-2000 was clearly the superior plane?
>>1131573>Reminder that this was the company that had built the SR-71That technology won't scale to an SST.>Plus one of the reasons the Concorde failed was because they couldn't fly enough people for it to be sustainable.Worded another way: It's passenger capacity and economics were wrong. You want a successful SST? You fly a few very rich people and you have smaller flights that leave more frequently. Nobody is going to pay to be one of 200 passengers that have to sit in an airport all day for a slightly shorter flight. 787 and A380 are for the cattle class.
>>1132292>That technology won't scale to an SST.Why not
>>1132297They had problems with engine unstarts which was a consequence of both intake and airframe design. The SR-71 couldn't go supersonic without diving through Mach 1. They didn't mind losing a few planes and crews to get their missions accomplished.
>>1131111But Boeing doesn't really have a case since the CSeries doesn't directly compete with anything in the Boeing lineup.That's like if I have a company that sells supercars and I sue Ford for "dumping" crossovers. I'm not losing anything by this.Boeing is just mad af cause they can't into regional jets
>>1132534The CS300 absolutely competes with the 737-7/700.
On a train right now, AMA
>>1132504why on earth do you think anyone would care?
>>1132516I needed to also askdo you occasionally dildo your ass with a thomas the tank engine toy?
>>1132517Yes, how did you know?
Did/do these actually exist?Just found this model train at a train station in Braunschweig (Germany) One of the coaches has a glass roof and and the seats are higher than usual, I found similar trains on google but none of them in europe.
also this
>>1129500>hemuWhatever happened to that?
>>1132084What happened to those coaches? Surely they couldn't have scrapped them?
>>1132151nah, they were only leased for the interim service and went back to their respective owners after that. The Rheingold dome car (among others) is maintained by a railfan club in Cologne (https://www.rheingold-zug.com/index.html). The whole consist is in use for charter trains and excursions.
>blocks your path
So /o/ pretty much hates them. What's does /n/ think? Are they the future of automobile transportation? Will we see electrically powered commercial ships & aircraft in our lifetimes? Is EV more environmentally friendly? What will happen to the ICE?
>>1131086Not one incident with this new class.
>>1131098Russia's track record with nuclear reactors (naval or otherwise) is slightly less than spectacular.http://spb.org.ru/bellona/ehome/russia/nfl/This is a fairly old page and I'm pretty sure it isn't a complete chronicle of the merry adventures of the Northern Fleet, but it goes into good detail about just how much of a disaster the USSR's subs are.
>>1131099The KLT-40s has much less enegetic circuits than any other naval nuclear reactor.The fuel is enriched to 15%, not 90%, and the circuits are 4 loops instead of 2.Pretty much all of the submarine reactors of the Soviet Union were based off the same design from the 60s, that, along with the poor worksmanship and operation caused that.The KLT-40 was designed on computers in the 90s and has operated without incident on their icebreakers.https://www.iaea.org/NuclearPower/Downloadable/aris/2013/25.KLT-40S.pdf
