Ranch Access: Shuttles and Cars and Trails, oh my!

will probably just make things worse sadly, more van lifers will flock to the area. Last 3 times I surfed it was a shitshow.
I imagine its gotten worse with the covid crowd?Hopefully the new study on duckdives and CTE the errbb is sponsoring will cut down on crowds
A couple of comments. Where are they going to get the power to run this thing? Solar? Looks like it needs nuke. Does any one have some back-of-the-envelop calculations on this physics of this and the power needs?
They're using one of FireWire's logos so there is a strange convergence of things I don't like in this video.
Where are the men with manbuns and satchels/manpurses in the video? Not very realistic virtual casting IMO.
How is Virgin Galactic coming along?
"With hyperloop, vehicles, called pods, accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The pod floats along the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-low aerodynamic drag "

The rectangles on top of the tube are solar panels.

Virgin Hyperloop is the only company in the world that has successfully tested hyperloop technology with passengers, launching the first new mode of mass transportation in over 100 years.

So, mag-lev and sucking an enormous tube close to a vacuum, the former to reduce moving friction and the latter to reduce wind resistance."With hyperloop, vehicles, called pods, accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube.

I know we have some people on here who can easily suck-start a lawnmower but in my experience in pulling vacuums for electronics, it's tough to maintain a vacuum.
Musk says this is a thing so it must be true. Looks like I'll be betting the farm on this.
Nice video.
Two things I immediately noticed:
1) I would expect that track to cost between $100M and $1B per mile, plus $500M - $2B per station. BTW, those stations and trains looked pretty empty. At that level of ridership the system would go bankrupt pretty quickly.
2) The people that made that video flunked high school physics. How many miles does it take to safely and comfortably slow down passengers from 670MPH to zero? G forces are an actual thing, as is momentum. You can't make that left exit at 1:56 at high speeds due to excessive centrifugal force. And so on.

This looks like perfect flat earth nonsense opportunity for you and you can partner up with the only other moron "atdabeach" and do like a time share deal free condo weekend. You can boat em into ranch and before they can surf they have to listen to your diatribe about the earth and look at all your pics
that thing is stupid r32. let's just keep widening freeways
Modelling by Virgin Hyperloop One in 2016 estimated a per-mile cost of $84 to $121 million for a cut-down 107-mile Bay Area project. This compares to a projected cost of $178 million per mile for the full Californian high speed rail project.

Hyperloop: Fast, But At What Cost?

Comparing this to the High Speed Rail to Nowhere is a really bad comparison. It's like comparing a Porsche to a Yugo, except the Yugo costs more.Modelling by Virgin Hyperloop One in 2016 estimated a per-mile cost of $84 to $121 million for a cut-down 107-mile Bay Area project.

How many surfcams does Surfline have planned for The Ranch? The HD ones with Rewind and Apple Watch tracking would be awesome.
That would instantly be a ranch rule for landowners and residents. No cams. The rules for residents there are actually pretty gnarly, and enforced.

Jk....but you have zero skin in this topic....
I loved this song when it came out....still do....
Maybe this one more your style eh....
Funny thing is you are maybe a 2/10 or 3/10 commitment to your flat Earth cause, yet name call people who are not as 'committed'. You care, but clearly not as much as you think you do. Par for the course.
Jk....but you have zero skin in this topic....
I have plenty of skin in this topic growing up and living in 805 most of my adult life and watching crowds grow at lessor known spots plenty of skin only different way I chose to skin my waves and I believe in real science not some self entitlement, conspiracy fed I was bullied as child bs

As a surfer on the SB Channel for nearly 40 years now I've done my share of gazing at oil rigs, islands and coastlines N and S. I used to think this kind of view indicated the earth's surface curvature... ...then I started researching these kinds of observations due to comments made in the...
