Why is /n/ listed under Japanese Culture?
Because it was originally conceived as a place for people fetishizing Japanese public transportation.

Is there really such a thing as an unsinkable ship?
Is there or has there been a ship that simply cannot be sunk by the conditions faced at sea?
>>897397
Difficult to imagine a small wood or foam core boat sinking. Flipping over and breaking up perhaps, but not sinking. Buoyant hull materials as a saftey feature would not practically scale up to ship size though.
>>897397
Lifeboats and submarines. Though the subs technically do sink ...
>>897397
No, no ship is impossible to capsize but the really massive ones are difficult to push over just by waves. The Costa Concordia has proven that even large ships can be brought down pretty easily. Theoretically if you enclosed the top half of a ship with an airtight material and added gyroscopes to the bridge, you could make a vessel immune to capsizes. Of course if the material is punctured it could sink.
What's the best way to transport bikes on a train or LRV?
>>904890
Is this a hypothetical or a specific question?
>if its specific
I just started reading about this yesterday(so some of things I say might be wrong), and I was honestly trawling the catalog to make a similar thread or some kind of train general.
Some of the question is going to depend on where you live. I've only actively been reading about the Amtrak lines since those are the ones I was thinking about using.
I don't know enough about train lines to know if every...

How are we supposed to respond if you can't read your post?
Japan has had a problem with overcrowded trains and because of this, there are perverts who like to touch girls inappropriately. So much so infact, that some train lines require men above the age of 16 to keep their hands raised above their head when school-aged girls are present in the car.
So yeah, guys can be sent to jail for molesting, that is what the gif is showing.

Any tips on how to spraypaint a bike?
Powdercoat it instead
>>906837
No.
You either invest in a new Frameset because spraying it by a professional is simply too overpriced, or you try to do the job by yourself and deal with all the downsides

I threw out my floor pump. CO2 is cheap and effective. No sense in having excess equipment lying around.
In what ways have you improved your life?
I threw out my CO2 canisters. Floor pump is cheaper and more effective. No sense in having disposable equipment lying around.
