I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. I’m 21 years old about to be a co pilot with aircraft equipped with PT6 engines, this is the first time I will be flying a a turbo prop aircraft and I’m baffled. I’m so used to flying 4cylinders 6 cylinders aircraft and aircraft with POH of like 300 pages but now it has 1000 pages. Is it normal to feel overwhelmed? Like what is your advice? I know the basic of how the pt6 works, I understand it. And honestly, the process seems so much more simple. What do ?

Confess your sins, /n/.
ive been riding my road bike as my main form of transportation for years, maybe 8 at this point, and i still dont know jack shit about repairing it or anything else. pretty much the only maintenance i do is oiling the chain and repairing flats. i also changed the cassette once. but anything else i would have no clue how to fix, like any cable repairs, or deraileur, or anything else. ive been lucky in that ive really never had to do any big repairs on it. my rear deraileur cable did snap a year ago and took it to my local bike shop. but i dont really have a way to learn repairs anyway, since i only own this one bike.
I used to be a big fan of vintage bikes, liked to "underbike," and posed as a retrogrouch. Turns out I was really just a poor fox and fancy modern bikes are delicious grapes.
>>1985790i like cars
I "invested" in a quite expensive dynamo setup with all Son, but I don't really enjoy using it. My old shimano+b&m setup worked perfectly fine and seeing those cheap but dependable parts light my way made me feel the type of warmth I am afraid the Son setup may never bring. In general I don't really like riding my new expensive things, I always feel much more at home on my older and less luxurious equipment.
>>1985790I’m three years into an urban planning degree, am I fucked career-wise?
How do you guys mentally prepare for the december - january hell months? I just finished my first year of the holiday torture and almost wanted to an hero myself. How do you veterans take the pressure?

>>1992221I do this.
America has globally, objectively low commute times. And generally the more public transit usage and walking there is the longer the commute.
Hey guys I'm real smart and you should listen to me. I'm one of the smart people. I have a high IQ. I went to college. I'm not like those people who didn't go to college, I'm smart.

What does /n/ think of tomorrow's upgraded, more inclusive bike lanes? Cagetrolls will hate this, but I for one think it is perfectly reasonable for bike lanes to be open to any vehicle that doesn't have an ICE or require a Class A CDL to operate legally. What's the point of bike lanes if nobody is going to use them!??!?
>>1988874hello saaaar
>>1988889Do you have me confused for a SWE
If I catch you driving in my lane you son of a bitch you son of God I will pull you out of your car and deliver you to demons
>>1990824All roads are car roads.https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1713856257541994.webm
>>1949121Holy shit. Will this result in dead cyclists? How and what can I do to support this and make sure it passes? Also once this passes what kind of ICE or minimal hybrid vehicle could I build to legally be allowed to use this lane while still maximizing my space and comfort? I'm thinking something like picrel could be killer if I could get it to run under the proposed regulations. Imagine the age of DOT private Bikelane highway Kei Cars.Yeah, I'm thinkin' based.
bicycles should be fun colors, not boring solid colors
>>1992905Completely? Or cut it into some shapes and sprinkle that shit over the frame so I don't have to take the whole bike apart
>>1992905I'm such a sucker for holographic and color changing stuff. You bet I'm a millennial, back in my day holographic meant limited edition
>>1992916If you got something that didn't completely clash with the colors of your bike, I can see covering only half of the bike working. Say, top/head/down tube.
>>1992596silver chain and cassetterainbow ones even
>>1992596If it's aluminum, strip the paint off the frame and polish it
Last thread hit bump limit>>1912751Spring is coming, get the winter stuff when it's on sale. Except people from Argentina, for you, get the summer stuff when it's on saleAnyone use winter-specific road or MTB shoes? I've been depending on overshoes for too longDiscuss bike apparel. Engage in catty tribalism between "lycra lout aero fred" and "practical normal not-a-cyclist' (actually still marketed to cyclists but with reverse psychology) apparel. Boast of your metric century (not a real century) wearing just jeans and a t-shirt. Conveniently, there is no strava of it but it totally happened I swear!>>1912751
>>1991946>>1991947heh, i live in fl too and have been using some el cheapo sunglasses of unknown origin for years. but ok i was wrong, with the tint it brings non polarized to $32 over $45 for polarized because tinting is included. it's just the lenses themselves that are $16 vs $36. but no uv protection? dunno. i would assume my current ones don't have that either so i guess i probably won't notice a difference.
>>1991944Depends on your environment and riding conditions, I don't have a pair of polarized prescription glasses but I used to have a set of polarized Oakleys that blocked a lot of glare reflecting off car windows and glossy paint on clear high brightness days. It's useful if you're sensitive to glare.
>>1991948>but no uv protection?OH, i'm retarded and can't read.
Anybody got experience making/using vinyls on their helmet? Mine is carbon fiber so Idk how it will interact with adhesives?Any tips for placing them?I got some designs I wanna work out while I wait for the state to answer whether its legal or not (Europe so laws are weird sometimes)

that unwavering confidence of the screen-based workforce, even in the face of ai. also much of blue collar shit is of questionable greater purpose. I long to just grow food and humans, at the expense of what feels like all social standing. the market demands distractions and brutal ethical compromises

Do you enjoy any /n/ games, like city builders and tycoons?>picrel OpenTTD, the best transportation gameIf not a game, what software would you use to make model junctions and rail systems? /diy/ has solidworks, autocad, etc. Unironically a dumb game like OpenTTD seems to be the best option for exercising what you learn in your hobby, at least for free (so, not including real model railways.) It's also just fun as fuck.
>>1993210
And of course there's the grandaddy of them all, OpenTTD. On most modern systems it's infinitely scalable, although the limitations of its ancient engine can sometimes be frustrating.

Still the most noble form of transportation is to be carried around by others, walking yourself is for plebs. Show us your palanquins then!
can palanquin carrying be a good workout or no
>>1990837yes, it is a great workout.
A woman who is in a sexual relationship with an aeroplane has revealed that she travelled abroad 30 times in the last year just to spend quality time with her lover.Sarah Rodo, from Dortmund, Germany, found love on her first flight with a Boeing 737 - after an unfulfilling attempt to date humans.Since then, the 23-year-old has also 'met' 60 figurines and three larger models who she considers part of a 'collective being' that she is dating, and so she often refers to her lovers as one.Keeping up a relationship with an object requires real commitment.The avid jet-setter is so loved up that she has booked 30 mini-breaks in the last 12 months just to be close to her original beau, the Boeing 737.Despite their many trips together, Sarah, who identifies as objectum sexual [having a sexual or romantic attraction to an inanimate object], is heartbroken that she's never been fully alone with her partner.Sarah said: 'I'm proud to be objectum sexual – it's a wonderful sexuality, the only sad thing is that I can't be alone with a real plane.'I flew a lot in the last year to be with the Boeing as often as I possibly could, I took about 30 flights and always combined it with a city trip or vacation.Comment too long.

This thread is for talking about railways, and things related to railways, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Trips, tracks, tickets, trains and stations, they're all good - making up rules is boring so let's just be normal. Questions are, of course, most welcome.If you feel like travelling, head over to National Rail Enquiries (nationalrail.co.uk/); tell it where you're leaving from and where you're going to, and it'll tell you how you're going to get there; then it'll hand you over to a train operator to buy a ticket. The golden rule is that it doesn't matter which train operator you buy a ticket from, as they'll all sell you a ticket from anywhere to anywhere, for the same price. If you're a visitor from overseas, your best option is probably Trainline (thetrainline.com/) - they charge a booking fee on top of the ticket price, but they'll accept just about any payment card. There's also trip.com/, who are apparently a 'thing' with overseas students: I've not used these myself, so please speak up with any thoughts.Here's a few links:~The Man in Seat 61 (seat61.com/) - easily the best rail travel resource out there.~Geoff Marshall (youtube.com/@geofftech2) - Likes trains. Mostly harmless.~A Visual History of Railway Rolling Stock in Great Britain (gaelan.me/br-stock/)~Realtimetrains (realtimetrains.co.uk/) - live train timetables: ideal for keeping on top of ETAs and platforms.~TIGER (tiger.worldline.global/home/) - live station departure boards.~Traksy (traksy.uk/live/) - live signalling information.~Openrailwaymap (openrailwaymap.org/) - railway infrastructure, mapped.What's happening?~Phase One of High Speed 2 (Birmingham-London): hs2.org.uk/Comment too long.

https://www.railmagazine.com/news/2024/04/25/labour-launch-plan-for-rail>Labour launches plan for rail>Shadow Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh will outline plans to pursue the creation of the Great British Railways (GBR) body which it intends to be led by “rail experts” rather than Whitehall. However, the plan also includes the creation of a new passenger watchdog, the Passenger Standards Authority.>But the creation of GBR is one part of Labour’s plan, as Haigh will also announce a clear move towards public ownership of the nation’s railways, by aiming to bring government passenger contracts once they expire into the public sector within its first term of office, reversing privatisation by the end of 2029 at the latest. This it believes will prove better value for money for the taxpayer than buying operators out of their contracts early.Announced at Trainline HQ, and made a point of saying 'yes we're keeping the name'. Mixed feelings.
