Quoted By:
>The total capital cost for the implementation of the [Platform Edge Doors] system for Lines 1, 2 and 4 is estimated at $4.1 billion, with average costs of $44 million to $55 million for two platforms of a station based on the preliminary (Class 5) cost estimate, which includes a cost escalation to the midpoint of construction projected in 2036. The estimated cost was also included in the 2025-2039 Capital Investment Plan and remains unfunded. Why have a functioning subway system, when you can just add more km instead? How else will Metrolinx get paid?

why not just go into debt endlessly expanding our highways? seems like the more sensible solution if you want to keep everyone forced into buying cars to function like a normal human.

>37 hour flight from Missouri to Iran Does that make sense? Aren’t these planes insanely fast?

>>2045694 they get refueled on the way over. Also there is no particular reason to believe they took off from Missouri and continued straight to Iran. It could mean they did it last week and left from Kuwait or something.

>>2045704 I doubt they were launched from anywhere in that region, it just invites a retaliatory attack which no one hosting a base would be eager to invite, and there is no logistical reason not to take off from the mainland US where you completely control the airspace and thus minimize any opsec issues

Quoted By:
>>2045694 The opposite of insanely fast, they're insanely slow, meant to penetrate airspace without detection, their top speed is subsonic and the lack of a vertical stabilizer makes them steer slower than boats. If we need speed, we use the B-1. The doctrine says to deploy the B-2 first to destroy key targets (I'm an invasion that would be anti air defense) and then once the air space is free from air defense, deploy the B-1 which can hit even harder than the B-2 because the B-1 has almost twice the payload. B-2 is basically the warning shot, B-1 deployment means serious business.

>>2045694 That's the round trip time. They only fly slightly faster than a commercial airliner. They are subsonic.
>>2045704 They did fly all the way from Whiteman AFB in Missouri. B-2s rarely land outside of the us, especially when doing combat missions. Flying to the other side of the world and dropping your bombs before flying back is a typical mission.

I was riding around on my single-speed earlier and I felt basically no difference going on the road vs going over some grassy hills, for me a single jack-of-all-trades gearing is all you really need even if it takes slightly more effort to get up to speed

>chainline I do not care>climbing Big ring at the rear. This is all just coping from people who have a preference and are trying to convince people that their prefered drivetrain is the best and not just something they like for subjective reasons. This is just like the disc vs rim brake argument. Both have decent stopping power when set up correctly yet disc has an edge in stopping power yet is mkre expensive. But anyway OP sucks cocks and I fucked his mom last night

Hill climbing on lower gears never felt that much easier for me than just hill climbing on a single gear. Hill climbing will be ass no matter what gear you're in. That's why I'm a single speed chad

What does /n/ think about the german concept of the Fahrradstraße?>speed limit 18mph/30km/h >bikes can ride side by side all the time >cars are not allowed to overtake I think its a perfect way to deal with traffic in big cities. The cars are not discriminated against and just have to deal with slower speeds. I dont see any cons with that.

>>2045435 We're not trying to change people who don't want to change. We're inviting the people who want to change city design. They'll populate a city with the nonconventional design and show its merits (or flaws) in an undeniable way. That will inspire the people in the middle, who don't care much and haven't spent any time to imagine how things can improve, to want the undeniable improvements (or want to avoid them). We already have inspiration for this with Denmark and The Netherlands reverting some of their major cities from their car-centric model to a bike-friendly model, to the acclaim of their public. Unfortunately that's overseas and will not be proximate enough for most Americans to experience the merits. But I was telling that anon that they did not get those projects done with an "us vs. them" mentality. They did it with public goodwill and, from what I've learned, it wasn't very popular at first.

>>2045404 Isn't the main problem with noise that past 40-ish km/h, rolling itself becomes noisier than engines?

Quoted By:
>>2045471 Only jake brakes really, that is engine brakes that open an exhaust valve or additional braking valve at the top of the compression stroke. All other engine brakes are perfectly fine because they do not rely on the most brutish idea someone could have come up with but instead for example just throttle the exhaust.
Luckily eurofags don't have such problems. Euros simply rely on hydro- or electrodynamic retarders.

How do you film your rides? I'm going to start filming content on my bicycle/while walking. Most of it will be done at night time in a big city, in POV. I'm not sure which camera to pick that would be : 1) bang for the buck(under $200 ideally, would go as high as $300) 2) wearable and discreet enough to film interactions and keep them natural 3) decent battery life(at the very very very least, 5 hours) 4) decent video quality 5) still able to operate with relatively low light (not extreme darkness per se, moreso like 10 PM in a urban area) Any suggestions?

>>2041715 >How do you film your rides? Look up some of those ebike review channels on youtube and you will will see a list of the gear they use to film the rides and trips.
Some use those drones which have software to make them automatically self-adjust a fixed distance while filming the rider. They're pretty neat and even automatically detect and avoid tree branches as they fly along a mountain bike trail filming the rider.

>>2042884 surveillance cameras are illegal in Portugal? I highly doubt that.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2045257 Who said that?
Dashcams ARE considered surveillance cams by regulator (national data protection commission) and ARE illegal. DASHCAMS.
...Unless you have a surveillance camera license for your vehicle; do you have one?
Even Police and municipalities have had their installed surveillance cams disabled for a longtime in a very public way, because they either weren't issued a license or had them pointed filming public walkways. It was in the news multiple times.

expensive boutique mountain bikes are so bizarre to me. what is there even to optimize? you're fat and use the ski lift and drive your mtb to the special "riding place" once a month. just go get something from walmart and set the rest of the money on fire, it's the same end result.

>>2045449 > just go get something from walmart That's for people that actually need a bike as a form of transport. You really think MTBLarpers do anything other than go downhill after riding the ski lift?
