What is the most pleasurable airport to be a passenger in?Pic unrelated.
does the airport count as pleasurable if the pleasure comes from watching other passengers who have never flown out of john wayne airport before shit their pants?>5700 foot runway>freeways on both ends prevent expansion>757s can just squeeze in>surprise! noise abatement departure pattern you have to follow too>get onto runway and throttle up before rolling>25 degree pitch on takeoff>followed by immediate pullback of engines at 500 feet>and immediate 30 degree left turn to stay in the corridorgood times knowing you're about to go on a rocket launch
>>1981237Even old LGA was a lot better than some Europe low-cost only airports
>>1986074Based TPA appreciatorbest airport in AmericaDTW is best hub but I don't mind ATL either. Just need to make sure you have at least 90 min layover when planning flights
>ctrl+f "DCA">0 resultsDCA is a very pleasant airport to deal with. The only shame is having to contend with Dulles when I want to go international. But, rich transit access, good facilities, and minutes from DC proper. Great airport.
Any small one where you can safely arrive less than an hour before departure.>>1985809based, wasn't the only one to think it has train station vibes

>>1986552i have become one with my bike. i am the ultimate machine, the ultimate weapon.
i am wondering if there is a recumbent quadbike that does that...
>>1986554There is a trike
>>1986569Should be pulleys and flywheels instead of pedals for for the arms.. or maybe a pump mechanism similar to those old time man powered railroad things
>>1986552they market a full and healthy workout but then you have to place your pumping heart on this sternum saddle while you're moving all your limbs
I used to be really into cycling like 15 years ago but I just haven't been in a long time and I'm looking to get back into it. I miss my old fixie and I want to build up a new one, so any recommendations on good wheelsets would be a good place for me to start
>>1982888Those rims are heavy as fuck for what
>>1983454You doing a lot of bar spins?
>>1986513>SKS 65all of the nice sks fenders come as a set and either the front 26" one wouldn't work with a suspension fork or the rear one would only work with dick brakes. maybe i missed something, but unless i could buy front and rear individually, which you can't, i couldn't find a set that would work. super annoying. also i didn't want to spend too much.
>>1986608SKS Velo 65 come as a set mount up flawlessly to either kind of fork and frame. Steel stays are sometimes sold separately and so are suspension fork adapters. But the end result is really solid.
>>1986707oh i see the optional U-stays and frame clamps now. whoops. without the optional stays, though, the setup is almost identical to what i've got, and i like being able to quickly unclip the fenders when i'm not using them. thanks, though. next time i'll do it right.
Use less energy for the same movement please.https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/02/can-we-make-bicycles-sustainable-againWe can do it!
>>1981641Ironchads we are still unscathed.
>>1981641i have like 100000km on my current bike which is aluminum, my previous bike was also aluminum but the frame cracked around 50000km>>1981906i ran the numbers and performed several real world tests, my efficiency is about 15 miles per taco in eco mode and 10 miles per taco in sport mode
>>1981641>20000km I do more than that commuting to work each year and i'm a casual. my aluminium frame should be at 150k-200k by now. Surely anybody who uses their bike to get around will reach the level where 'carbon emissions per km' are negligable?
>>1986734people throw their walmart bikes away when they get a little old and out of tune
>>1981632fuck this. i want to live ina world where EVERYONE has 50 times more per capita energy than today.
You've been stalled for over 10 minutes dropping from 37,000 feet, and with 2000 feet left this madlad says he's been pulling up the whole time, how do you respond?
>>1984764>how do you respond?Nose down and call it a day.
inb4 Boner apologists coping with the usual "if you were driving a car in dense fog and it got out of control, you would also floor the gas pedal after being told to slow down", because we totally would do that.>>1986172Oh for fuck's sake. Every fucking time.
>>1986172>>1986297The only reason Bonin had tunnel vision was because he was hung over from partying with Brazilian ladyboys the night before. Had he not given in to carnal homosexual desires, AF447 would have made it back to DeGaulle
>>1986297The stall alarm only sounded when he pushed the stick forward. When he pulled back, the airplane slowed down so much that it thought it was on the ground, which stopped the alarm.
>>1986474Yeah, and the collision alert in my car stopped beeping after flooring the gas while I was spinning out, so I kept my foot on the pedal for 10 minutes with no visibility until I got to my destination.Stop coping for dead incompetent people.
>>1980402I would always choose Airbus. Here is a good video about why Boeing is bad:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFMNpPh2e4o
I'm not a faggot ass redditor who didn't have a opinion on airplanes 3 months ago so 747
B787 looks better.A380 is more comfortable as a passenger.
When they remake the 225, they should also make a passenger variant.
>>1982911Is that reason that the yass kween of the skies slays its passengers?
Why are you destroying the environment with your discount bargain bin chinese carbon wheels with no warranty, when you could be saving the environment with the revolutionary new FusionFiber™ that come with a lifetime, no questions asked replacement coverage for the original owner? Sure it costs about 3x as much but think of the moral superiority it gets youThe only problem is it's made in Utah which is full of crazy people, which kinda negates the moral superiority, I'd almost rather send money directly to the CCP at that pointAlso discuss wheels and stuff

>>1983958>$1000 for less weight and 0.1mph extra speed in exchange for shitty brakes and forever looking like a tryhard lycraniggermeh>on the cheapPrices never go down m8, unless you mean used. Get some chink wheels (from a real brand) before they go mainstream enough that they can jack their prices up to Zipp levels.https://www.pandapodium.cc/product/9velo-rv55l-road-rim-brake-wheelset/
what's with youtube being COMPLETELY overrun with shilling for chinese wheelsyou can't even find a video on campy or shimano wheels anymore, let alone zipp or dt swiss, what the hell is going on
>>1986672Biketubers would do anything for a few bucks
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:1. COVID 19. Enough said.2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.3. Reddit. Enough said.4. Twitter. Enough said.5. British "people". Enough said.6. The d-tch. Enough said.7. The state of Utah. Enough said.8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.What were some other key moments?
Just checked my local stores, new bikes are back to pre-pandemic prices. They're actually cheaper than they have ever been when you factor in our money dropped in value by 50%.
>>1984666yeah I picked up an sworks aethos campy ltd for $12.5k yesterday
>>1979902I do
>>1984666I checked mine and they have nothing but ebikes in stock. If you order you have to pay MSRP which is usually like 500 euros more than last year.
>>1962645CarsAny other answer is just inhaling copium
>intended for use in the kinds of situations where you'd normally just walk, but significantly faster than walking>small and unobtrusive enough to take onto a bus or into a building (optimally small enough to stuff into a backpack)>not motorized or battery poweredis there a mode of travel that meets all of these criteria? I've been looking into skateboarding, rollerskating or freeskating but they all seem to have considerable downsides and limitations.
>>1986245motorcycle
>>1986245what are your pic called?
>>1986538those are freeskates. basically like a ripstik but faster.
>>1986245regular ass skateboard with slightly larger, softer wheels. fits all your criteria and has many other uses such as>chair>table>weapon>shield>shovel>dolly for moving large items>probably more that im forgetting>>1986465skill issue
>>1986245i own some and i cannot ride them if there are any bumps it just throws me off.

What are the most /n/ films?For me its Kontroll, the hungarian masterpiece>Opens with a budapest transit official say they were happy to help make this film, but please don't think it reflects on our actual service>Entirely set in the subway>Excellent soundtrack

You WILL fly supersonic this decade
I doubt it. Realistically it would take at least 15 years to rediscover this forgotten technology
Why do techbros measure aviation progress only in speed?>civilian aviation is stagnating beause Concorde was groundedYeah, just ignore that today flights cost like 25€ and are safer than ever before. Bonus if they claim state regulation killed supersonic, not the fact it was massively expensive for passeners and still burning cash for the airlines.
There are many billionaires around the world who would be willing to pay $10 million for space travel. if so, there are people who would buy a ticket for a supersonic flight with a capacity of 30 people, and there are people who would buy an entire plane.There is a demand, although BOOM is a scam.
>>198556310 million for trip to space is one time fee. The thing with supersonic airliner or business jet is that bill to develop it is billions. Business jet would probably be fine with engines nicked from a fighter, but airliner definitely won't be so engine development is going to cost billions. Handful millionaires, even when if couple billionaires would join 'em, don't have enough money to fork upfront to economically uncertain project like supersonic airliner or business jet. There simply isn't enough guaranteed demand for supersonic plane to justify economic risks involved.Boom lost its engine on moment Rolls-Royce told them fork over the money for engine development. Rolls-Royce made gigantic mistake with Boom, they were willing to do feasibility study new supersonic engine without asking them to pay for all related expenses. If they had done so, they would have never had any kind of engine proposal at all. What RR did wrong is giving any ounce of credibility to these photoshop peddlers.
>>1985543Us Burgers can hardly pay for a flight that is under $250 these days, exceptions are things like NYC - Philadelphia or Miami - Orlando.
Here we are in 2024 and still yet.no one has been held accountable for the greatest marine tragedy the world has every seen.Why are we letting them get away with it? They knew what they were doing sending them out in those conditions. You know what it does to a community to loose 1/3 of their male work force over night?They have yet to recover.
>>1986477>no QRD>no name>no backgroundGive more details retard, otherwise you sound like a toddler incoherently rambling.

>You absolutely NEED the best of the best of everything, otherwise there isn't even a point in doing it
>>1986143Bunch of poorfags that dream about making big bucks by investing or some shit. Bikes are really overpriced tho it makes me uncomfortable riding them hard
>>1986142>5w/kgmust be fast tbqh>>1986133Sometimes I find 20's since they are actually common.
As a general point, successful endurance training is often pretty boring. If gear-queering helps you keep getting out the door, well, a guy could spend worse money.
I don't see the problem with expensive bikes, especially considering they can last more than 10 years.
E bikes aren't the best of anything.>yeah my bike weighs 40lbs because I can't pedal uphill
Bikes are not cars and trying to force them to follow all the same rules as cars is one of the most retarded things you can do.
>>1985624>the people who actually want to improve things MUST DIE because.... le bizarre racism analogy with no thought put into it
>>1985625>we improved things, see? now walk your bike on the designated (closed) bike path or be arrested for your own goodat this point you people are like a parody of yourselves
>>1985626It is an improvement for productive people. Get a job, buy a car
>>1985626>bro, just let me get as close as fucking possible to the two ton death machines with no protection or you're le cagerat this point you people are like a parody of yourselves
>>1985089Thinking cyclists should need to adhere to speed limits set for cars is triple retarded btw. Even if I could reach 60mph on my bike, it'd still be infinitely less dangerous than a car going 25.
