Welcome to the /gag/~

/gag/ is dedicated to all the pilots and pilot applicants out there, and although the name suggests otherwise, airline, military, and charter discussion is welcome. Keep it on topic, keep the shit throwing to a minimum.

i know there are some projects to add some rigidity to the wings of the suit, but as long as they remain ram inflatables, i doubt you can add to much power to the rig. then you go with small rigid wings, like the jetman

I dont fly for more than three or so hours at a time (live in NZ, so you can get everywhere in that time) but I did drive trucks in the USA and I'll tell you it doesnt take long for your bladder to adapt to your schedule. I work an hour shift, drinking a reasonable amount of water the whole time, and not pee until the end of the day.

Are there any known late 19th-early/mid 20th Century intact examples of tramp steamers left in existence (not counting shipwrecks/abandoned ones)? Any still in revenue service? I imagine some obscure freighter line in a Third World shithole might still have one or two up and running on duct tape.

Sorry for the abysmal quality. I had a little time. When the machine room is finished and cleaned (read: When the guys are finished and I clean the whole place:D) I want to make some edited video with proper camera and prepared narration with actual facts and right numbers.

The picture is the only photo of the original version of the ship that I know of. It was taken in Tromso in 1894. When I am bored, I spend whole evenings going through archives in search for any picture. But we believe that only personal visits in the archives all over Norway have chance of uncovering some new info and pictures.

To be fair, apart from the spiteful brakevan and S.C. Ruffey I don't think an engine ever deliberately smashed a truck to pieces; the smashing usually happened as a result of accidents the trucks themselves caused

Yeah I guess that's so but my point still stands that the death of characters, brutal death even, was not absent from the stories. It really wasn't until Britt Allcroft made the TV series tamer to suit American audiences that you started seeing a decline in violence.

Yea, you'll never be able to brake as efficiently from the hoods as you would on a flat bar bike.

Keep telling yourself that multiple hand positions is superior to a flat bar when the only reason you have multiple hand positions is due to the excess amount of weight you are putting on the handlebars from using road bike bars in the first place.

You would most likely receive a product that is identical to what you could buy in a local store or from a reputable seller, at much lower cost.
However, those reputable sellers will have checked each item sold for any manufacturing errors, and returned the flawed items before you get to see them. Buying directly from Hong Kong, you can't.

So 90% chance of receiving a flawless product.
9% chance of receiving a flawed product (which you can then return and receive a replacement 4 weeks later).
1% chance of receiving an unsafe product.

Saving 200$ wouldn't be worth the loss in peace of mind to me when I go bombing down a descent at 50mph, but maybe it is for you.
