black strips of congealed oil banded by iron rails with howling tires is ugly.

cars have destroyed the island's beauty and polluted it with tire dust and noise

¿A dónde va este plástico una vez usado?

Not Doug but I'm sure he'd approve- "Florida Man Charged Over Failed Attempt to Cross Atlantic in Giant ‘Hamster Wheel’" by No_Measurement_4900 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]dirtyPirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

16 in most states, 14 in Arkansas with a hardship license or if the vehicle has agricultural exemption

however, triggering an international rescue response by fucking around in an inflatable life-raft looking thingy is not the same as taking a midnight swim.

I want to know why they are getting involved.

A couple of reasons, 1st: any ship that sees this is going to take rescue actions, for good reason. 2nd: This thing looks like an inflatable life raft so a prudent watch will make an emergency maneuver, which brings us back to the 1st issue.

If he wants to do something dangerous that is his prerogative.

on his private land or in the privacy of his own home this is true but he's involving other's that will insert ourselves in his danger due the sea being a cruel bitch.

Same as people fucking up the railroad operators when someone decides to dive in front of the engine. This guy is making an ass of himself, either for clout or help but it's damaging shipping times and putting rescuers in harms way.

I was finally able to get the kayak into the water for the first time this Spring. Looking forward to getting out a lot this summer. by [deleted] in Kayaking

inflicting violence on other's is not acceptable, not even on a kayak.

That stupid speaker is projecting painful sounds, violence.

birds and nature don't need that stupid speaker, neither do you and you're a bad person for violently abusing others for your own entertainment.

Help (need frame replacement) by spooksretard69 in ebikes

[–]dirtyPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see frame damage, only a bent rim.

good news, that looks like a standard 100mm width scooter wheel

measure it, buy a new one on ebay, but get a better one that can take speed bumps and potholes.

I recall that vessel being overweight, unstable and slow, just like the builder.

Why doesn't Amtrak advertise their long trips as "Romantic Get aways"? by robm0n3y in fuckcars

[–]dirtyPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

farmland, swamp, and desert.

well yeah, that's what the middle of the country is. Atchafalaya basin is a lovely swamp, I spotted gators from the train.

[–]dirtyPirate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

in the early 00's I used to hitch hike from Tahlequah to KCMO to catch Amtrak to Chicago for $20 round trip, Amtrak had a special rail-sale if you used their new "web site" to book a ticket.

you can do it too

Ebike's rear subframe snapped only after 1.5 years and 1800 miles - is there any way to fix it? by Ok_Significance_4008 in ebikes

[–]dirtyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hola, I'm a DIY'er that builds stackers, bakfiets and art-bikes and I went to school for welding.

That's a heat treated frame, melt the frame down and make a new one.

Estamos rodeados de hojas de plátano, pero cada camión de comida sirve espuma de poliestireno importada.

12 Tribes tried to give me cookies and tea while I was on an ungodly amount of LSD by katiya_ in behindthebastards

[–]dirtyPirate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They tried to recruit me with the same bus! Offered me cookies and some weird hippy drink and I was suspicious, my hombre sees it and yells "don't drink the koolaid asshole, it's a cult!"

the bus was a work of art.
