I'm genuinely sad a copy of this book costs over $2k. I'm praying that christophers new book succeeds in sales so that Mattel or whoever the owners are would reconsider putting it back into distribution again.

>>2063342 There's no need to pirate it. It's available on the internet archive. But it's never the same as owning a copy you can hold in your hands, studying it in your free time, reading it before bed every night or reading it while drinking coffee.

Are there any actual disadvantages to them? They seem to perform as well as standard bike frames but with the advantage of being easier to mount and dismount without the top bar getting in your way. I know they were originally marketed to women who wore skirts because the top bar on traditional bikes got in the way and exposed their panties but it never quite made sense to me why these weren't just the "default" frame style in the first place, especially since most utility bikes and pretty much every single E-bike on the market uses this style of frame.

Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.

>>2058177 i've never heard of it by that name but it's pretty well known that it's a thing. people even joke that you have to keep bathroom stalls clean because once the first child draws a little stick man in there, it's fucking over
conversely, if you get some particularly talented vandal to just do a huge mural, vandals are less likely to write over it, and sticker-bombing stuff or even hanging shitloads of flyers is a good way to at least keep vandalism PG/limited to further being just people slapping stickers for their home businesses instead of scribbling GAIUS WAS HERE AND IS NOW A HOMO WITH HIS BEST BRO AULUS. and again many cities have designated tag walls specifically to contain vandalism/reduce hood nigga nonsense since even hood niggas seeing a well done mural of a local pop star or something wont tag over it (much)

>>2060548 Skill issue, I literally live in one of the densest most crowded places in north america and I can easily get to no-cars greenery and chillaxed riding just by riding half an hour out of the city. Even more so if I get on the train.

>>2062937 our definition of no cars is clearly different. I live rural as hell and there isn't a road maintained enough to roadbike on that no cars drive on, on earth. When I say no cars, I mean most of my rides I literally don't see another soul for 3 plus hours. I probably see a side by side or atv once every 10 rides.

>>2055795 Unlike those other modes (bicycle notwithstanding) you can actually find a car thats cheap to own and run- hell you can buy a Chevy Cavalier with pocket change. Cheap to Insure, good on gas, parts still available or easy to find at the pick-and-pull and you can wrench on the street or a WalMart parking lot- all things that dont apply to boats or aircraft.

That cozy, old school cabin photo of a Delta Air Lines L1011 TriStar from the 1980s is getting people talking for one simple reason: it looks roomy. Wider looking aisles, big overhead bins, and that warm lighting that makes the whole cabin feel like a different era of flying. Delta's own history of the L1011 explains why it felt that way. The airline called it "high, wide and handsome," noting a cabin about 8 feet high and 19 feet wide, plus wider aisles and large entry doors designed to make boarding and deplaning easier. Delta's first revenue L1011 flight was on Dec. 15, 1973 from Atlanta to Philadelphia, and the airline ultimately flew 70 of the type, the largest L1011 fleet in the industry. Delta retired the L1011 in 2001, after decades of domestic and international flying, including transatlantic and transpacific routes. And over time, the industry shifted hard toward efficiency and packing more people into each flight, especially after U.S. airline deregulation in 1978 changed how airlines competed. Looking at this cabin, you can see why so many travelers say, "Yeah... they really don't make it like that anymore."

You have to sedate the animal, flip it on its back so you can get at the underside of the neck, then surgically go in and snip the vocal cords.
