Ironically, I have money to travel because I don't have a car.
I get to see wonderful things, instead of gridlock and asshole drivers.
I think this makes them angry and resentful toward me.
They are always hostile to the concept of living car-free.
I'm glad /o/ is separate from /n/.
They really are the worst people.

That’s right, they know…

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.

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.

I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.

upstairs neighbor bought an excersize bike that is vibrating the whole house and my ears for 90minutes at a time.

i live in a 100year old house/apartment with roommates and we are underneath another 5roommate apartment/flat. the house has really good sound proofing as i almost never hear the neighbors upstairs, maybe i hear their dog trampling around from time to time. well i woke up at 8am one morning to loud cyclic vibrating above my bed. sounds a lot like a fridge with a bad compressor ...or a flywheel. i had to get out of bed and do my morning routine in living room. very annoyed, i searched reddit for folks with similar issues, it seems a lot of people complain about neighbors upstairs making noises with treadmills and exercise cycles as well as a lot of upstairs folks asking if its okay to buy/use treadmill/cycle and the general consensus was that its an asshole move. when the noise ended i knocked on neighbors door and told her its really loud and very bothersome, she seemed somewhat responsivell and sympathetic. i suggested returning it and buying one without a loud flywheel - she said she would just not use it first thing in the morning, i then asked if she could at least heavily pad under the machine. well its the next day and it sounds she has ass padding dulled the noise a bit but the vibration is still incredibly bothersome. any suggestions on how to proceed forward?
i can try an drown out the noise with loud music but that will affect other folks in the house hold. i was thinking i could ask her to stand in my bedroom/livingroom while her roommate pedals the bike so she knows how loud it is. is it the flywheel making the noise? are there exercise bikes that dont have loud flywheels? id reallly hope i could convince her to trade it in for a different model. is anyone here educated in flywheels, house vibrations, etc? is this something i could ask my landlord to intervene with? do i have a valid complaint or do i just need to get over it?

Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
