    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    less drag than if it was at the front, yeah, but not zero. also what do you mean less fuel? Like in what measure? Weight? Mass? Volume? Because like, it uses far more in every way?

    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    I question your understanding of aerodynamics. Also a carbon tax/trading scheme which is pretty much inevitable, would affect HSR as well as air travel since we so heavily rely on coal. Even in france, budget airlines are still cheaper than HSR.

    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    yeah and rightly so because it ruined the river systems. The entire snowy system could be replaced by one single nuclear reactor.

    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    he was asking why rail travel was so expensive compared to air. Also laying rails etc. Also the extents of HSR that are on existing track aren't able to run at highspeed, it'd still take atleast 40 minutes to get out of Sydney without devoted lines. The cost of building a HSR system dwarfs that...

    Cycling as primary mode of transport

    the time trials aren't on hills.

    Cycling as primary mode of transport

    "sustained", considering the fastest team time trial in the tour was 57.6 avg by disco in '05, I somehow doubt a normal person could do 50 km/h for any appreciable distance.

    What do those TRIANGLES on the road mean?

    The ones on both sides of the lane indicate a school zone is about to start

    Most Disappointing Car

    That sucks, Ive never driven a newer rolla. I drove an Aurion though and its brakes were brilliant for a car its size.

    Drivetrain of Choice?

    Psssh daily driving in RWD is barely any different from FWD or AWD. In fact FWD cars tend to lose traction off the line far easier in my experience.

    IDF Flotilla Incident Official Thread

    Re: Israeli MP: Israel started shooting first (flotilla incident) It's called customs, generally you can't just sail cargo ships to places without the receiving authorities checking it.

    Do ABC guys like fob girls?

    yeah I had two tabs open lol

    Bad laws, not bad whores: sex workers

    What if they are a 9-5 whore? Also prostitutes aren't out "at all times of the night" any more than, or setting any worse example than someone who works in a 24 hour gambling venue of bar.

    Bad laws, not bad whores: sex workers

    He's saying banks should be able to "discriminate" against sex workers just as they would against a 40 year old ballet dancer.

    Cycling as primary mode of transport

    You can't ride 50 km/h sustained so no, you can't keep up with traffic. I don't mean on average, I mean actually while riding.

    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    Oh yeah, that just reminded me of the most important thing. Most of the countries that use HSR also use a shitload of nuclear power. SO lyk ye

    hahahahahahaha

    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    Highspeed trains use more energy (obviously) than normal ones. I said a millenium train carriage, which only holds maybe 125 people each. It was just an example for why aircraft can be cost effective. The thing is would you rather an at best 3-3.5 hr trip (including stops), or a 1-1.5 hour...

    Do ABC guys like fob girls?

    nah they lust after white women like everyone else except creepy white guys who do infact like fob asians.
