I am considering getting one of these things, but the price is keeping me back, and some of the constraints, e.g.: wheels, proprietary parts, expensive accessories, etc...
The thing that keeps me orbiting towards a Brompton instead of the countless chinkshit knockoffs is the reputation. It seems everyone has mods, solutions, know-how to how to get the best out of the Brompton.
>a bus literally goes past my house >an express bus is a 10 min walk up the road >the destination is a stadium so it has public transit access >still takes over 3 and a half times as long as driving since trains and buses are inherently show an inefficient >if you include wait times its literally about the same amount of time to ride a bike between destinations top kek
Sup, hoes. Where do Anons that want the walkable city experience live? I am a software engineer, young guy, looking to grow my career so it has to be a city that at least has a tech sector. I currently live in the 'burbs and it's fucking dogshit. >WFH >go outside >get in car >come back >get in house >go outside later to walk the dog >only children playing and parents outside >people my age only leave their house to get in their cars and despawn from the map >feels like nobody really lives here, just come to die >everybody in their pod home
>I just want to live in a place where I can walk to most places and see my neighbors doing the same. > I just want to live in a place where some dumb roastie on her phone can't dictate how quickly I can reach my destination. > I just want to live in a place where I don't have to sit at a red light for 3 minutes when I'm THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD >I just want to live in a place where I can walk to a bar and actually recognize the people there, like my cute neighbor > I just want to live in a place where I can walk or bike to places.
I know you fucks all avoid homeless, libtards, and nignogs, so how are you guys liking living in these areas where these people are rampant, but you get to experience the walkable city life? If I have to live another year in a lonely suburb as a young guy looking to have fun ima blow my brains out so how the fuck do anons deal with living in a place like NYC with all the shit that comes with it? Considering the move bros...
Are there any examples of 21st century steam locomotives? Not preserved historical steam engines made in the 19/20th century but original 21st century steam engines.
It doesn't matter if it's standard gauge or minimum gauge.
Happy 20th Birthday 4chan. I traveled to Fremont, CA to meet up with some dear friends and family and found out that the the Niles Canyon Railway was doing a steam excursion to commemorate the Bronco Billy Film Festival where they were showcasing silent-era films that were shot in Bay Area at the turn of the century so I booked a last-minute ride aboard it.
Will dump my album and go over some history of the railroad and its equipment below.
