>>1637474>i don't know much about air travel, or air machines, but this sounds absurd. do you have anything to share that expands on this scenario?It's not absurd at all. It's self evident. Pilots, and the entire airline industry as a whole, operate with carefully designed checklists with specific operations to be executed in specified orders, which is pulled out and followed to the letter when the situation calls for them. Gears won't retract after takeoff? Gears-won't-retract-checklist is pullet up and followed to the letter. Engine flames out? Co-pilot pulls up the checklist for engine flameout. Stabiliser breaks clean off 4 minutes after take-off? There is no checklist. There is only death.Of course, in response to that actually happening (flight 587), directives were put in place to reduce the frequency of stabilisers falling off, but there are still no backup plans for the event that a stabiliser falls off in the future. If they were to write such a checklist, it would probably say "Pull out your phone and try to call your loved ones and say goodbye". And that is *exactly* how it should be.
>>1637784And still flats are extremely rare, even on the surface. They will be much, much rarer in the Loop.
>>1637822>It's not absurd at all. It's self evidentwell, i disagree. the rest of your post doesn't seem to address anything i posted, either. you're telling me that air transport companies have checklists for every scenario imaginable, but also in one specific, known example, they'll ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and just ... sweep up the wreckage afterwards? what?so, to be completely clear, i'm politely asking again if you have something well-sourced to verify something you said, which was that >[...] when a plane is stalled a hundred meters above the ground, the contingency plan is "fuck it".this is because such absurd, callous disregard for life and safety, for passengers that the company has a duty of care for, is unthinkable; and i'd think that any company that *did* wilfully abandon their responsibility like that would be made an example of by regulators and sued into the ground.
>>1637785Learn to research and develop, hebrew.
>>1637041Good public transport means less demand for cars. Of course Musk knows this.
I had some serious doubts about the democrats but it looks like they are the only ones looking out for us /n/. Based Biden I guess.
Just praying that Republicans dont fuck up yet another rail proposal.
>>1634939>biggest positive fir pedestrian and cyclist safety would be expanding the highways, in number and width
>>1636975Cagetrolls say some mind-bogglingly retarded shit. It’s hilarious when they start contradicting themselves.
>>1636100>>1636015The thread is about bike lanes and sidewalks, AKA transportation related. Are you really going to police every fucking comment? Do you have nothing better to do?

They're all >20 miles away because of our (((planned economy))) with no small, local businesses or institutions. >they win every time because they have the powerWishful thinking, Yoav.>>1634990>The current gop is a bunch of witless morons. Who can only ever say NO and work of public resentment.(((projection)))
I'm starting to see a lot of newer and higher end mtbs pop up for sale on my local craigslist. Is it already happening?
>>1637813>Retards always build overpriced shit and realize they suck and want to sell it.not so much lately, that's his point
might be from police auctions...i checked a police auction site and aparently they sell a ton of bikes. all police all over the country have auctions for bikes even if it's not online. they probably just got done stealing a bunch.
>>1637835Maybe they were 2019 purchases and everyone was too scared of the shanghai shivers to sell last year.
People across the country are realizing that bicycles are silly and, frankly, boring. Maybe they started lifting weights and having sex like sane people?
>>1637942>Cycling is boring>Imma start lifting weights insteadGenius idea
Post whatever aesthetic photos of trains you took, ima startIn this photo I captured the 843.011 DMU in its original livery and with a matching class 043 passenger carriage, on the morning R 1376 "Ještěd" fast train from Pardubice to Liberec. Taken on the 7th of November 2020 between Pilínkov and Liberec. This service used to be named after the bigass mountain and its tower in the distance, Ještěd. Sadly, as of today, this fast train service is owned by the Arriva company.
>>1636290Sure is, dont forget about Slovakia though, they are on a very similiar level :PBoth of our countries still have very many first generation electric locos in service, old diesels, lots of heritage trains, steam locos and suchAnyhow, when it comes to regular trains, I give our railways about 10 years before things get really boring and dullWe do have a a big advantage though, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine etc. is not that far away, so once our railways are done, we will just go a bit further east.. thats what the Germans are doing these days, their railways got pretty boring and now they come to our country all the time :P Anyhow, to keep this thread from dying.. in this photo, I captured the 242.247 first generation electric locomotive leaving the Mírovka stop with a passenger train from Jihlava to Havlíčkův Brod, 21. 8. 2020
>>1635912Is the driver saluting you? :D
It wasn't running the weekend I was there due to the weather but I was told that it built from scratch by museum staff rather than donated and that kids love it.
>>1637960Ditto
We finally have a sticky, edition. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mfJknMp1KS2W8lOFB36nl6uJOjpAVIkm/viewHad to put the document on Google Drive since pastebin is gay and wouldn’t let me post it publicly there. Most of the credit goes to the other tug guy who wrote most of the guide, I just added the links at the end. If anyone has anything that needs to be added, or if the eurofags have input for getting foreign jobs please feel free to post, and we can add to the document.

>>1637620My family used to have a substantial amount of old equipment like these. In fact we had that exact one. Same color and everything. I remember being with my dad, great grandfather and we'd take these the annual steam shows. Good times

I'd like to see a pulling competition between one of these, 4014, and a restored N&W 2156
>>1637918I want to see the prr t1
>>1637919https://prrt1steamlocomotivetrust.org/The t1 trust has been rebuilding a t1 from scratch only using blueprints of the train. When it is finished its going to be one sight to be seen.

Yank here, is it a total waste to get an urban planning degree abroad? American urban planning is so unique I'm worried that if I got a degree in say, Europe, either a significant portion of the material won't apply here or that employers will think a significant portion of the material won't apply here. What if the degree has a large urban policy focus? That seems like it could be even less applicable.
>>1636945it's a total waste to get ANY degree aroad if you live in Europe; I have absolutely no doubt about that. An absolute meme. I .t absolute retard with 2 uni degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning and a fucked up eyesight
>>1637714I have no idea for career advice but I’d say spending time abroad is fucking awesome if you’re into planning/development.Really showed me how walkable/human-oriented places can work.
>>1637687i wonder what europeans thought of classic pre war north american citiesi personally think they were based but im a filthy new worlder
>>1637802Unironically look at pre-Ford Detroit to see an example of good urban planning. Then look at post-war Detroit to see it all get fucked to hell
>>1637657>>1637708I'm less interested (although not opposed to) working as a planner for a local government, I'm more interested in working for a large planning/consulting firm. That said I'm not sure how comfortable I feel throwing out municipal employment as an option entirely.
Amtrak has responded to the $2 trillion infrastructure plan put forward by the Biden Administration. http://media.amtrak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Amtrak-Connects-Us-Fact-Sheet-for-Statement.pdfProposes:>30+ new routes>20+ enhanced existing routes>20m more annual riders>Better service to cities like HOU, ATL, Cincy>New service to unserved cities like Las Vegas, Nashville, Columbus, Phoenix
>>1637032>>1637032It's not about being against cars, its about not wanting your whole town to be setup only for car usage. I enjoy a balanced setup, like streetcar suburbs, and i fucking hate brutalism lol
>>1633467not sure what pol bullshit has to do with this
America is never going to have a good long distance public transportation system. Simply because of its nature of being a kingdom of cuckolds and lards.

Any questions you'd like to ask to an ATC ?
>>1636339>this is old and the room isn't dark at allI got a tour of a level 9 tracon before covid hit and it was twice as dark as that pic. They said they've been waiting to be upgraded for years at that pointalso everyone inside was 4x more formal than the guys in the tower so its no wonder how someone could get the big sads nearly having to wear a suit with a stick up their ass in that environment
>>1636081What kind of education is required? Hows the money? Is the job stressing?

>>1636088Give every cripple who can drive a car.Those who can't transport them with taxi.

Too far gaan editionWelcome to the /gag/ - /gag/ is dedicated to all the pilots and pilot applicants out there, and although the name suggests otherwise, airline, military, and charter discussion is welcome.Keep it on topic, keep the shit throwing to a minimum, no nudes. Bikefags not allowed :^)Previous Thread: >>1593760
>>1637640>>1637654Do you come from wealth? Do you really not mind that we had to spend more money on our education than them? Do you not mind that they also have less checkride failures?
>>1637716It’s not about the money, it’s about the end result. I’ve taught very capable female pilots and incapable male applicants, but my standards don’t change based upon race or gender. My problem with those hiring practices is that it can make it easier for those less qualified to be up front based upon arbitrary considerations. This is an obvious safety concern, sacrificing capability for the desired company image.
>>1637760you do know that DPE’s go far easier on women than men, right?
>>1637716Money isn't really the issue. Sure it was annoying seeing scholarships I couldn't apply to because I wasn't a woman, Hispanic or whatever. But I still worked a job and took out some loans like I needed to. There were a couple girls in my program that were actually solid pilots and some you could tell liked the whole "woman doing a mans job" bullshit. Also had some guys that weren't very skilled and botched some checkrides. The problem is companies hiring women and minorities so they can put a picture of their "diverse" workforce on their website and Facebook page for free WOKE points.>>1637768And for this I can feel proud I've never failed a checkride despite being a white guy.
>>1637793I know a girl who just did her CFI checkride. Passed first try. A week after her ride, she’s on the schedule with the same DPE for a 5 hour block. I ask her if she’s doing her II already and she says “nope! [the DPE] said that I need some work on my maneuvers, so I’m going up with him today for practice”. I asked her why that is happening and she was like “he said during my ride that I need to fix some problems with it”. I literally said “why didn’t he fail you?” And she gave me this blank ass stare as if she didn’t think that was a possibility
Is this a complete scam or does this make any sense?>The magrail system is a unique magnetic rail technology operating on existing railway tracks at a speed of 300 km/h - 550 km/h. This hybrid solution allows both magnetic vehicles and conventional trains to operate on the same lines. >Our solution is to modernize the existing tracks with a linear motor installed between the existing rails and with levitation plates mounted on the sides of the track. The linear motor has a form of a third rail mounted on the track axis and will be used for propulsion and braking of vehicles. Levitation plates will be used to lift the vehicle above the surface and to stabilize the vehicle sideways. >Our system is passive - levitation is the result of vehicle movement. A train at a certain speed will automatically start pushing itself away from the track.https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/polish-hyperloop-company-sets-out-plans-for-2021
>>1637773It's Poland, mate. Not exactly a powerhouse when it comes to the R&D for the newest shit and, AFAIR, they regular rail is in pretty dire condition, not to mention the high speed implantation.
>>1637776this is some random tech startup so national railways condition doesn't really matter
