So we really can't move away from this kind of ethical dilemma?

The car should stop

>>1074422
This. It does what a human does, except it travels at or below the speed limit as appropriate for the conditions, and has advance knowledge of potential crossings and lights. In the rare situation where somebody else does something unexpected in front of the vehical, it does the same as a driver: tries to stop and hits them.

No one can deny encasing your head in a protective material will increase your chances of survival in a catastrophic crash.

The arguments are:
Why should you have to when other "safe" activities don't warrant helmets?
Mandatory helmet laws discourage cycling, thereby making it seem unsafe and thereby less people are doing it. Less people means less funds allocated for safe infrastructure which goes way further than a helmet ever will.
Encourages victim blaming and also risky behaviour because you believe you're protected.

What does TGV stand for? Tren Gran Velocite or something like that? How can they not trademark that?

Also, rail operators are total cancer. Make the people that own the rail and run the trains be the same.

>>1077318
this is so stupid

Train à Grande Vitesse, literally high speed train

Certainly Boris bikes and Vélo Bleu are very popular. As a cyclist i use them for general transportation when it's easier to hire one for 30 minutes than carry my own bike down the stairs and have to think about locking it somewhere on arrival. I also know numerous people who have been introduced to cycling through them and now see cycling as a viable method of transport as opposed to a kids game.

They're for shorter rides in a dense city or for tourists in a park.

The main advantage is not having to worry your personal bike getting stolen or having to haul your bike into a building for security.

>>1064058
there were a few stations in my town
for about... 6 months at most
then I guess they figured out that it wasn't a viable business and now they're all gone.

I figure that's true in general, that these programs never succeed long term

If the city took your bike they would leave a note where to retrieve it. So it's false.

Of course

ponchos are specifically designed for women. No man has ever worn one.

FFS are you retarded OP

On a bike a poncho will get blown around, slowing you down and preventing it from keeping you dry*.

*unless you travel in an area with no (head/cross)wind whatsoever at an incredibly slow velocity

In Aberdeen First is even worse, if they aren't trying to run over pedestrians and cyclists they are going through red lights. I have seen not nor did then run reds than cyclists! Stagecoach buses are driven much more responsibly and have better service in terms of turning up on time and notifying users in advance of timetable changes.
I have also seen foamers get to walk around with employees around the buses in the yard to take pictures up close of the buses in movement.

Try living in Bristol.

I like the idea of free competition in UK in case of public transport, but the amount of different companies with different, messed up prices seems very confusing. Only London has a ''unified'' system of trains, trams, metros and buses while places like Manchester have a separate tram system, dozens bus companies etc.

So I got to do a full ILS approach after my checkout flight and I fucking nailed it, granted the instructor took the radios and I just flew the plane. Even got some actual time during it.

Looking forward to starting instrument training

Let's do hangar flying stories/greentext/baconpost

tell about your most butthole puckering incident.

This one time, I was riding as safety pilot for a guy I went to high school with, I was not yet an instructor and my buddy was a freshly minted private pilot (how he passed his checkride boggles the mind).

He had just done a stop-and-go, when on upwind the tower asked us to turn an early right crosswind for traffic. My buddy yanks and banks left... directly into the traffic.

I learned the meaning of multitasking that evening. I simultaneously grasped the control yolk, called "My controls" and ate my own underwear but with my rectum instead of my mouth.

The traffic was a sheriff's helicopter who had just lifted off from their pad, and I'm pretty sure the deputy flying the helicopter could see into our cockpit because he keyed up and says "Hey, You boys be more careful" as if he saw the two of us

After we landed I asked my buddy why he had pulled the whole fighter pilot move with the turn in the wrong direction, his response "well I couldn't see the traffic, so I wanted to turn as fast as I could to avoid him"

We're still friends. He's an engineer for Lockheed Martin now even tho he doesn't know his right from his left.

>>1065228
"Yeah, fucking nailed that ILS!"
>wasn't wearing a hood

Really tho, nice job. Beginners luck is a real thing, so don't let it go to your head yet!
You'll inevitably have to go missed because you pegged a needle at some point, and if you never do it means your instructor isn't making it hard enough!

My cycle commute starts on a busy road with 5 sets of traffic lights, then up a hill to a shared use path going uphill, then quarter a mile on a quiet road to gently cool off.
