Keep in mind this is for bikes meant to be loaded up. I guess a marketing exec at some point decided kickstands are for poors so no expensive bike can have them now, just like MTBs got stuck with Presta valves.

They will literally drill 15+ holes just in case your bike bags use bottle bosses instead of straps, but outright refuse drilling 2 for a kickstand

than-kyu

At what point are you a “train enthusiast” vs “someone who just realizes that North America needs better trains?”

I don’t memorize Soviet trainsets, I just recognize that America would obviously be better off if we built a good rail network. I don’t have any preference or bias for trains, I just know that we need them to protect our environment and reduce traffic congestion. They would also improve travel times for many trips and revive downtown economies.
I don’t think that makes me a “railfan,” it just means I see an obvious truth.

Why don’t we fly DC-10’s anymore?

Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.

When you see it

>“In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cut off” the fuel, said the report, by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau. “The other pilot responded that he did not do so.”
Suicide by pilot.
The perpetrator is either the captain, who falsely accused the first offer of killing the engines, or the first officer, who falsely denied having done so when correctly accused of it by the captain.
India is a shame-based culture, so probably whoever did this hoped that they could pass it off as mechanical or human error (if the captain, then maybe pin it on the rookie FO) to protect their family name.
