Post about staying dry under the rain.Does this type of polyester fabric coat work well enough? I tried making waterproof fabric with silicone caulk and cotton canvas and while it works like magic, I also found out that silicone caulk can be used as rocket fuel. I did a small burn test and the silicone-caulk waterproofed fabric burns better than the raw fabric I made it from.
>>1849578I've bought a second hand rain jacket with Gore Shakedry material and it's pretty good. Very compressable to put into a jersey pocket and it's really breathable as well. Only downside is that it's black so I wear my high viz wind jacket on top.
is there a way to make full face mtb helmets waterproof?all i can think of is a waterproof balaclava/helmet linerthere doesn't seem to be over the top helmet covers

>>1849578Small to medium rain won't soak you much for 30-45 min and won't make you sick as long as you keep moving, no matter how low temperature is. Heavy rain is always in weather forecasts. Just have extra clothes in a backpack.
The retirement of the Concorde was the biggest setback to transportation of the past millennium. The future of intercontinental transportation is currently sitting in a museum right now. It can fly from New York to London in 3 hours, and it was made in 1979. Imagine how easy intercontinental flights would be today if we had a modern version of the Concorde. The Concorde was the coolest airliner ever made and nobody will convince me otherwise. The fact that something this groundbreaking was retired still amazes me to this day.
>10 years living in nyc>decided to get the fuck out of that shithole>mfw never realized that there is a concorde parked there at the intrepid air and space museumholy shit I am actually retardedanyway daily reminder that boom tech bros will never make it

>>1851749How the fuck did you go 10 years without driving up the west side highway even once? Also this is /n/ so you were supposed to use the west side bike path which would have made it even more impossible to not notice.

>>1850762Literally got shut down by retarded hippy boomers who hated progress and society in general. In Australia we literally had a "save the aborigine from the sonic boom" campaign.It's the nuclear power of aircraft. It's amazing, we'd all be better off if it was widespread. But boomers and subsequently everyone since are too retarded to embrace the future.

>>1854086>>1853949What is the logic behind this? How does this give any advantage in any context over having the brake levers in correct orientation?

>>1844913>genuine question: what's the longest you've been sat waiting at a level crossingone time a long intermodal frieght train stopped at the crossing between the freeway and half the large city of madera, ca. luckily i didnt have to cross the tracks to get to my destination, and i was able to squeeze my way through the clogged intersection by driving on the sidewalk.... when i was done with my task 30 minutes later, the train was still there, not movedi just dont understand why the train driver didnt backup or move forward a mile.
>>1845750who is moen? i see that tag everywhere!
>>1842700Brightline should sue the driver or the families of the drivers for damages to their rolling stock and lost revenue I doubt it would do much to stop idiots going past barriers, flashing lights, and DING DING DING DING DING, but it would just be an extra fuck you for being such an incompetent driver
>>1842700How hard is it to stop at the level crossing. It worries me that people who do this have a licence. At least they don't have a car anymore.
>>1842836Trains were invented by an organised, homogeneous society based on mutual respect and trust. Any issues that arise are purely due to retardation.

What's going on in the way of transport in your city/state?Here in Vic, nothing much has changed other than the announcement of the G-class: https://transport.vic.gov.au/our-transport-future/our-projects/new-and-upgraded-trains-and-trams/next-generation-tramsPersonally can't fucking wait, I am on a line that just uses old B-class and they're fucking shithouse.>b-but muh SOVLDon't care.

>>1852941The government wants to remove guards and have drivers control the doors. They say its a safety issue and dumbfuck redditors lap it up.Never mind that Melbourne has had driver operation only since the 90's and the unions said the exact same thing then. UK, Singapore and nearly all of Europe all have the same. It's bullshit luddite stuff trying to keep useless jobs.>>1852939States don't decide or control whl moves where

you mean, just a big imageboard of trains? what do you think RRphotosarchive or trainorders.com does. And both those sites predate 2channel.
here is a completely random example: AMTK 938 which is now CDTX 938http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/Locopicture.aspx?id=23577images of it start in 1984 and go up to earlier this year, prior to it's repainting in Caltrain colors
Thank you, these are great! I was thinking it might be nice to have a site where you can store which trains you visited, looked at, are interested in visiting, etc.
trainfags are so autistic I'm impressed
>>1855149If you think this is autistic then you should turn around right now because this is nowhere near peak rail autism.

>>1855112>that fray
Would I notice anything if I was to upgrade my 3x bike's front derailleur from Tourney to Altus or Alivio? Have to fuck around the groupset a bit anyway (chain + cassette change, rear adjustment) and last time I had to adjust the front it felt kinda annoying to get it set.
>>1855307Probably not.
>>1855276maybe ask on /sci/, i'd imagine that the geometry might make it slightly different because it would wrap around more on the larger chainring. realistically you would use the same length chain but it might have some effect on the chain tension.
>>1855276>>1855369found this, there will be a difference because of the Z2-Z1https://ramseychain.com/the-chain-doctor/chain-drive-selection/chain-length-calculations/
With the advent of the end of fossil fuels and industrial age how do you think transport will look like in the near future (next 50-100 years)?>some data on energyhttps://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/professional-area/>some data on low tech, lots of transport related stuffhttps://www.lowtechmagazine.com/>post industrial urbanismhttps://wrathofgnon.substack.com/p/how-to-build-a-small-town-in-texas
>>1854945>>1854923are you really kvetching about above -20 as if it's unliveable? if you've lived somewhere with those temperatures you'd know how easy it is to layer up, yes even as a biker, also public transportation is almost always heated unless you live in a shithole, especially subways.
>>1854923If someday they'll build a tunnel between the basements in my neighbourhood and the next tram station I'd be able to visit several huge malls all around the city without being subjected to weather while walking for 4 minutes and would probably go shopping in my pyjamas.Maybe that is the future of public tansport, full asimov-style indoor environments.I also used to ride my bike to school through deep snow and while it was freezing though, even if I could just have taken the bus. Snow hills and -19 C was just more fun than muddy weather at around 0.
in the future your government will transport your biological cadaver with pod drones around the cyber brain hive
>>1854945>>1854923I live in the Yukon and bike to the store at -40° for BBQ chipsIt's not that bad. Getting your car started, warmed up, and defrosting the windows at the same temperature is way worse.
>>1844357>even on a very modest fifty grand a year (the bare minimum for anyone who is slightly skilled)Just because someone is skilled doesn't mean someone is going to pay them 50k in salary for that skill, even if you're willing to put up with the "soft skills" that working in a fucking office entails. t. makes ~40k a year on entrepreneurial creative works and no longer want to kill myself every day doing something I hate but pays more
Are they worth the investment? I've noticed lately on my bike that I have to use a bit more force & strength to stabilize my steering when crossing grand unions, and I'm worried I'll crater because I over-corrected my turn. What are your experiences with them?
The damper is useful for situations where you are on and off the bike alot, cargo loads, pushing the bike, leaning the bike. For example, off my bike and pushing it takes too much effort to correcting the steering. Some way to lock the steering internally would be a cool feature as long as it can't be accidentally set to achieve results of pic related
>>1854880Do bicycles go into tank slappers?If no than it's quite useless
>>1854880I'd like to buy one, but they all look like plastic shit.
If you need a steering dampener to get shit stable - design of your bicycle is wrong, or you're using it outside of expected conditions.
>>1855225Actually... Now I think about it, steering dampener can be a part of design, but still I've doubts it is needed at bike speeds.
