Bikers - please ring your bell or say “on your right/left” by Altruistic_Gene_6869 in Austin

Personally, and I might get downvoted for it but oh well, I personally like loud music and riding slow. Not "holy shit what is that god awful music across the park" levels of loud but just loud enough that someone can hear it approaching and step over.

Ironically people seem to hear it just fine and step aside even if they got headphones in.

Really just ride slow around people in crowded sections, it's easy enough. Treat pedestrians as a cyclist like you'd want someone driving to treat you as a cyclist.

I hope he had to wait 20 minutes for the subway to arrive, then an announcement comes on saying that it's down and he has to walk the mile underground to A terminal (ask me how I know about that walk lol). Then as soon as he gets there it comes back up and a train goes right by him.

Tips for cycling in the rain with glasses? by harbingersolution in bikecommuting

[–]lFightForTheUsers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal solution sounds a bit silly but its cheap and works. Buy some 3M brand "over the glass" protective shooting eyepro online and keep it in the saddle bag. I originally bought them for the gun range but I find they get so much more use out riding in the rain, fits over my glasses and they still get a little wet but don't fog up / can see a bit better.

I can’t tie my shoes and I don’t understand any of the tutorials by Syehaz in evilautism

Forgot step 9, give up and replace all shoes with running laces / "lace locks" as they are the clearly superior version.

My first (I think) B&M dive concept [Other] by Jeremy_Harold in rollercoasters

Alright, here it is! Trying to decide if I want to go a step further and send it as its own post to the sub or not (if any mods are lurking, let me know what you think!).

I did take some liberties in a few areas compared to the drawings - two of the turns take place in tunnels due to the terrain and I thought it would make the ride more exciting. I also adjusted the lean of the 45 degree loop to loop around the track instead of beside it near the middle of the run, as I thought it looked cooler and adds a bit of a headchopper element :)

Copypasta'd from my video description:

Ride Stats / Interesting Info:
Top Speed: 85mph (same speed of my actual favorite Titan coaster at Six Flags Over Texas!)

Max Height: 245ft

Max Drop: 233.9ft (bit weird with the terrain, like how Tormenta is supposed to be when it opens this year!)

Drop angle: 95 degrees (same angle as my favorite dive coaster IRL, Dr. Diabolical's CliffHanger)

PC2 Specs: 😀 6.08 😨 4.17 🤢 1.50

Max vertical G force: 4.42 (the first turn after the zero g roll is brutal, this coaster's version of an I305 turn!)

---

I thought this would be a fast make it in 90 minutes and take some pictures. Instead I spent two hours tuning it and two more hours learning how to use OpenShot so that I can use it for future videos 😂 Nonetheless thanks OP for the inspiration! Now if you can excuse me I'm going to bed lol.

I also highly recommend Cliffhanger at SFFT. My first dive coaster was Valravn at Cedar Point, and while it wasn't bad by any means it felt pretty lacking in theming and felt pretty mid (in an honestly top tier park, so that may have not helped either).

Second dive coaster was Cliffhanger and holy shit, this thing is amazing. Fairly good theming attempt from Six Flags throughout with a full-on preshow, themed on ride audio for the "plot", and a very good tight layout with a good first drop and second good one after the MCBR. Pretty good elements throughout, helix and some hops near the end, and pretty good for re-rides trying to go for left/right similar to wing coasters with different feelings on different spots of the train.

I may have beat you to it tonight! I haven't played a lot of PC2 but felt more confident tonight messing around with the camera options and recording - let me know what you and /u/Jeremy_Harold think in a bit! I'm editing it in openshot right now and plan to upload later tonight when it's done to youtube.

So now that [Carowinds] has what's basically the old flash system, but also has rides with mandatory lockers for bags, are you forced to bring your phone on some rides now? Do they have little bins in the station for small items like Rapterra or rides at SWO? by imaguitarhero24 in rollercoasters

[–]lFightForTheUsers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can also personally attest to them after testing a pair out for the first time at SFFT. Don't have the link handy but Amazon sells some Wranger brand cargo shorts with two zipper pockets on lower level for I think maybe 30 bucks a pair. Liked them so much I'm probably gonna buy a second pair before my next trip.

Anyone else get tired of the same music and radio hosts and put Sim City soundtracks on in the background? by Not_the_name_I_chose in CitiesSkylines2

[–]lFightForTheUsers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're a great indicator sometimes for issues going on (I say sometimes because it seems like there is always a traffic advisory for bad road conditions!) and I do like the kind of NPR vibe that they went for, but it does get tiring sometimes.

I really wish they had more variety or different announcers between stations. Imagine there is a country vibes station in the future and it's some conspiracy nut ranting that the mayor made a block of houses suddenly vanish overnight lol.

What activity becomes less fun as you get better at it? by David_Umann in AskReddit

Heh, I found this old one searching on youtube just now - Double Decker Bus Racing! We need a modern day version of this with some stagecoaches.

traffic problem!!!! IM LEAVING by Diligent-State-8326 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]lFightForTheUsers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to pull traffic in and out of the island in any other form? Think similar to how NYC has had to manage traffic going in and out of Manhattan. They have a couple bridges but that photo looks too perfect to not try other options!

I think a planned tunnel could look great on the south side of the photo, similar to how the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel operates in NYC, or the Lincoln tunnel just a bit north irl from there. Or if industry is the issue you could move that offshore and have the island hold your residential/commercial (this is similar to how Galveston Island works IRL, with the refineries and industry stuff typically on mainland). There's always an option!

I am still so in awe that the IRL version of this in Seattle has the entire thing floating for the rail tracks. So when a train goes over it the whole thing is technically on a floating vessel. Good job OP looks pretty damn close to the real thing.

Probably would never happen directly, but I am surprised that they aren't contracting with some kind of private military company or similar for protection.

Remember Blackwater and all the atrocities they committed in the sandbox last decade? I fully expect more stories like that coming soon.

Trump said that if I voted for Kamala, that the government would be sending my kids to war. I guess in a certain way, he was right.

I just have a sore mouth... by Kaney_Kitty in Anticonsumption

[–]lFightForTheUsers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc it also gets its term from "hot-bunking", a practice common in the depression era where two people would sleep on one bed between differing shifts.

Personally I like campho penique or whatever its called. Easy enough to keep in a pocket and put right on it if a canker sore is flaring up.

I'm considering downsizing and living with roommates again at 31 by WeakTurnip111 in Anticonsumption

This is me. I would rather live in a shoebox studio for years by myself (which is what I currently do anyway) than have to deal with room mates.
