These guys passed you on the last big hill before the cafe. Didn't even take pulls.

What do you tell these Freds to not seem mad?

Shinkanzen documentary

This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:

The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjFOYLAtoE


Both the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing.
But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!

ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.

If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

The third anniversary of the deadliest railway crash in Greek history is in a few days so I figured I'd make this thread.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash
30 years ago, dozens of trains daily serviced many greek cities, today, only one line is operational, linking the two biggest cities with just two trains a day. This is a combination of Greece having a very car-centric culture, the population concentrating in these two cities to the point where the countryside is all but abandoned, and powerful inter-city bus companies lobbying against trains.
Infrastructure is severely outdated, since funds for upgrades are embezzled between officials and the private company owning the railway since the 2017 so even if there was demand, the system just couldn't take it and a lot of the disused lines would have to be essentially rebuilt. Do you think there's any way rail in Greece can be salvaged?

Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?

Is it worth trying to become a pilot, or will everything be AI by the time you have your license?

British train thread

Although I set out some preferences for the last one I ended up settling for literally anything to do with Britain. Those preferences about foreign exports and rare diversions remain in place but otherwise post what you like as long as it fits the broader requirement
