What is the most walkable city in Australia?
>>1994664I live in the Brisbane city area and I rate it. It’s compact so you can get to pretty much anything walking, plus cycling network is decent. Nature is a short bike ride too. Public transport is decent, but far from perfect coverage but it’s improving.I’ve walked around Sydney and Melbourne but I find them too bloody big.
>>1994672Thanks, I'll make sure to visit there. I heard Sydney had a lot of suburban sprawl. What is Perth like?
>>1994680I’ve never been and I can’t see myself going, so I couldn’t tell you either way.

>>1994666Easy there, Satan. When you kill a whistleblower, that guy stops blowing whistles. When you kill a lawyer (especially one out of a firm) they just send more lawyers, add more subpoenas/charges, lean harder on their political connections...
>>1994666Whats the point? the cat is already out of the bag already, killing all the whistle blowers wont help at this point.

Thoughts on Comac's C919? Would you fly on a made in China plane?
>>1994409Sorry I don't speak anime
The CCP shill replied almost instantly to my post that happened 3hrs after the last bump hahahaha.You can try to be a little less obvious Zhang, it would help your cause.Your aircraft will only be sold to third world countries, at a loss, in USD. The world knows what to expect from China and an airplane built to those expectations will never be anything but a total commercial failure.
>>1994417I'm singaporean, senator
>>1994417Sorry but even my normie not online friends are talking about how to avoid flying Boeing
>>1994527Not bothering with US regulations is probably the only reason comac got ahead, really. Look at how many E175-E2s have been sold.

>>1982619>>1982853Motor sailors are terrible motor boats and terrible sailboats. Just pick one.
>>1994032what's the difference between a motor sailor and sailboat with a motor? Every boat above 25' or so seems to have a big inboard anyway
>>1994112Usually superstructure looks more like a trawler, and sticks up farther from the hull. This is an issue for actually sailing >>1982906. Motor-sailers will usually often have a more powerful one engine than a dedicated sailboat since they expect to spend more time motoring.
>>1932015i almost capsize when i was in the academy with a captain professor. wind is no joke
For those who are sailors, what sorts of books to you take to read while underway?
>>1992964Read "the eduction of a wandering man" by Louis L'amour. Describes his early life as a vagabond, sailor, surveyor, freight hopper. He lists all the books he can remember from that time. Some interesting reads in there, the book itself isn't bad either.

Should the Port Authority consider the development of a railway/subway line from New Jersey to Staten Island?Everyone knows that Staten Island is the bumhole of NYC transit, having one heavy rail line that runs worse headways during off-peak than any 24h Subway line during the night. That even includes the Rockaway Park shuttle whose five stops are among the nine least used on the entire network according to 2014-2019 figures.Now every half assed transit enthusiast knows that Staten Island once had a line going from St. George along the north coast of the borough. The continuation of that line is now a cargo rail line into New Jersey. This provides two opportunities>A rail line along the existing right of way to Elizabeth and Newark, providing direct rail service to Newark Airport and potentially midtown Manhattan>A subway (PATH) or light rail (in collaboration with NJ Transit) line that crosses the state border over the Kill van Kull and then uses the existing right of way at Port RichmondAll three options will need at least a 3 mile long tunnel to reconnect St. George with the elevated section at Port Richmond. The rail line option would need a connector to the Northeast Corridor line at Elizabeth Port, while both the subway and light rail options would need a bridge or tunnel to cross the river. And of course the Subway would need a major extension project across Hudson County.How realistic would such a project be, and do you think it would be reasonable or maybe even needed? Also I am not an American so I don't have expert knowledge on all the different parties required to make such a project happen so feedback would be welcome in that regard.

All of you can suck my NYC mutt spicy bodega cock.
>>1968571I am Pro-Global Metropolis. NJ's Eastern and Northern counties should be annexed into NYC. from there on, New York city should expand its city area towering up 2 to 3 mile long skyscrapers everywhere. Low low density cucks can tongue my anus.
>>1994234>polio county being allowed to be in NYCI'll take the coastal areas of piermont, nyack, and stony point so I can have my lycra fred rides to bear mountain without having to worry about getting arrested for temporarily being adjacent to another cyclist, but the inland areas should be handed over to new jerseyt. browner, spicier, and more DEI than you, I am literally eating a chop cheese made out of bodega cat meat right now while wearing timberlands with the tags still on them
>>1993751both still preferable to the current crop of pigs that let unfettered niggerdom ruin public transport in new york
Al Maktoum International Airport, commencing construction of the building at a cost of AED 128 billion>over 400 gates>capacity for 260m passengers a year>5 terminals>5 times the size of the current airport>DXB will transfer all operations here in '10 years time'what do we think lads
Is this really necessary? Are DXB and SHJ both at capacity? Not to mention AUH is like an hour away.
Isn't DWC already in operation?For some reason many flights to Russia leave from there, requiring a landside transfer from DXB to DWC.
>>1993833It will be abandoned by the end of the century anyway. The Arabian Gulf will become too hot for anyone to live in.
>>1993833Can't wait for them to still be a parking lot for planes because airspace is at a premium.
>>1993833>400 gates>260m ppl/yrthey're going to need an actual metro system to get around the airport
The eternal debate....Which wins?
>>1990029I use an ebike to get to work without sweating then pedal home for some exercise.
Electric unicycleNothing beats electric unicycles
>>1994288Extremely impractical, only for weird suicidal hipsters
>>1990029Some ebikes contend with gas powered dirt bikes in speed, suspension, utility. The scooters are convenient little urban transportation devices that you look like a faggot for using unless you're drunk and using a city rental.The choice is obvious.
>>1990629>easier to get stolenThat's ebike feature.Ebike has to be left outside -> it takes about 20 seconds with cordless grinder to repossess the e-bike.E-scooter has other safety layer called small in size, which means that grinder doesn't do the trick, and you have to attack owner in one way or another, and since nobody gonna go to jail because of stealing a faggot device, they don't do it.>if batteries die the motor is counter productiveTrue for direct drive ebikes too.
If I want to train-hop from Temiskaming Shores to Moosonee or Rouyn-Noranda, I shouldn't be HARRASSED by security and BOPPED on my FUCKING CAP for doing so. Even if I toss the security a twenty for my fare they still accost me. Why are they such assholes? Why am I not allowed to start the locomotive whilst the engineer is checking his brakes? I was so close to moving. This isn't FAIR! It's COLD OUT HERE.

>>1994481>>1994483As I said, the difference is theoretical, in that you can measure it but it doesn’t mean much. You have the weight of moving a longer, heavier chain through some derailleurs, likely with some friction cause of the chain angle isn’t perfect like a single speed. I don’t think it’s going to be enough to even feel like a single tooth difference.
Bikebros how do i understand wich dropper post good for me? I mean: inner part on my bike (which goes inside the frame) 260 mm. Diameter 30.9. But i can’t figure out which dropper to choose, 125 or 150mm; besides, they don’t write everywhere how long the inner part of the seatpost is. I only found information about Fox transfer, it seems to suit my bike. But i'd like to find something cheaper if possible. It's kind of hard for me to figure this out
I’m a pilot doing aerial work and approaching 1000 hours and I’m about to apply to a company, I have all my licenses and rating’s however since I graduated, I’ve only been flying VFR since there’s no ifr operations (even if I consider myself to be very good, If not better in IFR) but still tho, it’s been a year. Anyway, I feel like my knowledge in aviation has gone so low, like I feel like idk what I am doing but when I open the aviation books, I instantly know the answer. Like do you get it? If someone or an exam asks me, I’ll know the answer but otherwise I’ll be lost. Also are there any airline pilots that can tell me if the airlines train you well in terms of their operations and their IFR procedures and is it normal that 70% of the stuff I’ve studied in aviation, it doesn’t apply in real life. (For example I used to know the entire FAR AND CAR AIM by heart, now I know like 30-60% )
>>1992645Look up vagus nerve anti-anxiety techniques on youtube. You will find a lot of lilac clack hippy chicks humming and breathing, and all of it works. Daily 4-7-8 breathing exercise for 8 reps helps to build immunity from overactrive panic response. t. ex-panic disorder fag
>>1992605>>1992611I'm in the same boat but takeoffs and landings are the only part in ok with. The rest of the time I'm paranoid about turbulence. Used to fly all the time with no issues, it's a new development since flying with my kids. I'm going to get a valium prescription for my next long haul flight.
>>1993508Thanks Ill try it.>>1993626I'm convinced alot of it has to do with having things you feel very responsible for the future.
I have Private and IFR Ratings in Heli and I am halfway through my helicopter commercial rating and yet I still feel like I don't know anything lol.
>>1990570Don’t worry anon, it’s kind of normal to feel like that at times, passing the assessment to get in an airline it’s gonna shake up things already since you pretty much have to superficially study the fcom of the particular aircraft that they fly plus getting the feel for it in a sim to not fuck up in the simulator part of the assessment (I recommend at least 4 hours of training before showing up to the evaluation).After that it’s like going to flight school all over again, they will expect you to know how to fly ifr and be capable of communicating and all that but you’ll be bombarded with new information, e learning, procedures, tech, regulations and dealing with hr for the documents and everything else, letting alone the fact that you have to learn how to fly with another guy that may or may not be an asshole.After that line training as well is gonna feel like day 1 of flight school, you’ll feel retarded at times but it’s all right you will get things with experience.I can tell you, it’s gonna be a real pain in the ass at first but you’ll enjoy it once you get in the flow of things.
A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

Urban sprawl is good as long as you have extensive coverage of railways, it's comfy too because it makes the urban core larger and takes longer to navigate through which is a vibe. Does your city qualify for CHAD status? Requirements:>central urban area footprint of >=300 km^2 >at least 5 major intercity railway terminals within the urban zone>metro footprint >=1200 km^2
