Space transportation general. Since spaceflight is increasing exponentially, since we are up to at least a launch per week and since we are days away from an industry revolutionizing fully reusable

do you guys socialize when on the subway/train/bus/etc?

>been taking subway every day for many years
>never speak to anyone
>see same people at my stop meaning they live in my town, still don't talk to them
>go on train with my bike, see other guys/women with bike shared interest, still don't talk to anyone

i know most people are just on their phones anyway and probably dont want socializing anyway but it make sme feel even lonelier.

That's what you're supposed to do, do you think beautiful women like being badgered by strange men every time they're stuck in a train with one?

That’s exactly the point of making this thread. It feels like a catch 22. Sharing a train with someone for 30+ minutes would be a great way to socialize with someone, but then that feeling that even speaking to a woman in an enclosed environment like that would make you look like a creep and I want to avoid that at all costs

But man when she got off, likely to go to work, I just wonder what it would be like to work with her and see her/talk to her every day. I would be overwhelmed

I got kicked out of a rave a month and a half ago and on the way to another rave on the other side of the city I started peaking on MDMA and I was sitting sweaty and paranoid when I heard those anglophone tourists sitting next to me (middle aged men and women) and I noticed their australian accent so I just started speaking to them, they told me they were here for the world cup, that it was their first time in the city and they loved it, the architecture and so on. It made the commute pass faster. I think they noticed that I was talking like a spaz but it was still civil and fun. It's the only time I had a full fleshed convo with somebody in public transportation

Dw anon, as long as you approach people in an upbeat manner you'd be surprised how easy it can be.
Interesting convos on top of that.
Just try it and in the worst case you just say "okay, anyways - have a nice day"
Be uncramped and it'll mirror on others.
To build up courage you can also just be looking around, observing your environment and smile - genuinely - when your gaze meets that of another.
Occasionally the person will even smile back.

The bmx dudes probably were just paranoid and unable to take your request at face value.
The problem was that they were unsure of your intentions.
It happens, don't get too upset about it.
Also - it's pretty normal to misunderstand one another when spontaneously conversing like with that girl, so don't beat yourself up about it.
Enjoy the ride!

>Are they able to work?
Yes. Large passenger ones are still tough to make. Single props like Rolls-Royce ACCEL and Extra 330LE do extremely well.

>Will they replace the short hauls?
Unlikely. Considered the current tech issues.

>What about the wide Bodies?
Never. Short range planes can (and usually are) turboprops, which is something electric can do. Long and medium range airliners are jets. No way there.

id say the ability to autorotate is a pretty massive mogging though

no?
stop believing /n/ memes
all aircraft are deathtraps if you think an r44 is
but youd be thousands of times more likely to die by car even if you dont use one but probably dont think twice about what death traps those are

thats only like 60 an hour. i can turn two or three tables an hour for 60+ EACH. if you're working in the kitchen you're an idiot. people are forking over money for the bare minimum right now. if you're not on heroin or a complete trog you need to get out front and let the losers and yes-chef sociopaths cook while you make 5x their wage. i plan to RETIRE at 35 off this.

100kg in a backpack sounds painful
just get the trailer
im not sure how much weight ive hauled in mine probably not even half that but i gotta say a trailer is gonna feel alot better than a backpack or pannier bags
i use mine for hauling shopping and while i ride i always forget im even towing the trailer, you just dont feel the weight at all its kinda surreal
get a giant cassette too if you gotta deal with hills like i do

Assuming you weigh about 80Kg that's 160Kg to carry.
What are you even using to carry that?
And how far?
Why not on a sack/wheel-barrow?
What was it you were carrying?
It's not that I doubt it's possible for an 80Kg man to carry 160Kg on his back, but I find it hard to imagine what it is he'd carry if not specifically steel, fat, short pieces of round stock cutoff or a particularly heavy but dense/low-volume machine.
Can you link a/the cargo backpack you used?
I'm legit curious now, you must be built like a tank, I probably can't carry twice my bodyweight an appreciable distance on my back.
Nit that I ever required that - there was usually some kibd of barrow or cart arou d rather than a backpack that'd eeven survive that.

I noticed something about my heated gloves today. For the past few weeks they didn't seem as warm as I remembered. I cranked the temperature control to max and they still didn't feel hot. Also the battery was lasting far longer than I should have.

I washed them last night and they were much warmer today. Maybe salt from sweat builds up inside the carbon fiber increasing conductivity impeding the ability to generate resistive heat.

I guess I should wash them more often. I'd been washing them by hand, infrequently. Getting tossed in the washer didn't seem to harm them so I'll just do that when I clean my other bike stuff.
