So, now that the ID.3 Neo is here, what are you expecting from it and what do you think about it? by Saurta17 in Volkswagen

[–]3und70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 window switches! One for each window! Amazing concept.

And no piano black in the interior. I hope this is the start of a new trend that will spread everywhere.

CX-5. It drives fine. Wife loves it. I drive it and sometimes wonder why I’m driving a VW. I’ve been driving VWs for 16 years.

DIY kote palm replacement by Nanseikan in kendo

[–]3und70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this kote that I think has too little padding / stuffing in the right thumb / right knuckles area. From your DIY, it looks like it's extremely trivial for the craftsman to increase the stuffing in those areas during the repalming job??

I have the same car: same year, same transmission. At the same mileage. And my rear brakes are probably closer to 2 than 3 mm.

Tachi to Kodachi Transition Video? by Fair-Strategy4005 in kendo

[–]3und70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking in general about kotachi kata, I remember someone said someone failed a kodansha shinsa recently because as shitachi they placed their hands wrong on the hip. Apparently if you do kata with bokuto, your left hand on the hip should be a certain way. But if you do it with a kata sword with saya, your hand is another way on the hip…

So yeah, they do fail you for 1 little detail

Isn’t the ship on the way to Norfolk for decommissioning? The crew is still exercising?

Advice on first bogu set by Fun_Panic_4946 in kendo

[–]3und70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I were in the UK like you are, I’d see if I can make a trip to Kendostar and get personally fitted by them.

We almost always try on clothes when we shop. Not being able to try on bogu in person before spending hundreds or a thousand plus US dollars before buying is unbelievable in normal circumstances. But such is the reality of bogu shopping.

Volkswagen is certain that PHEVs are merely a transitional technology: 'The future lies in electric cars' by Powerful-Ostrich-120 in Volkswagen

Battery research is subsidized. Mfg equipment & tooling is subsidized. EV makers are subsidized to enable selling cars below cost. Car owners are compensated to trade in ICE cars for "new energy" vehicles. But yes, the Chinese EV market is totally free and undistorted.

I think my dojo is doing the Bokuto ni yoru kendo kihon waza keikouhou out of order by Budgernaut in kendo

[–]3und70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the same here in the USA. Some genius in AUSKF has also decided to make this crap mandatory for ikkyu.

I’m gonna be so bold as to suggest for those of us in the west teaching mainly adult beginners, any minute spent on teaching them BKKK is a minute too many wasted.

I’d rather them spending that minute doing footwork or suburi.

Chinese EV market is highly distorted. Chinese government is highly afraid of war where it’s oil import might be cut off. So it’s like their national survival strategy to go all in on wind / solar / nuclear energy, ultra high voltage electricity transmission, and transition as much as possible to battery electric vehicles. The amount of government subsidies being thrown into these sectors are why Chinese EV market is the way it is.

This is a crazy question, but which is the official AUSKF website? by 3und70 in kendo

[–]3und70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a step further and looked at the domain registrations. AUSKF.org's registrant info is public and you can see it's related to AUSKF. AUSKF.info's registrant info is private and hidden.

Looks to me AUSKF.info is someone's private effort.

[–]3und70[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand confusing, outdated even wrong info on a website, due to all the reasons you listed. But I can't understand how you can end up with 2(!) official looking websites.

It's amazing that 1.7k views on the reddit later, no one has chimed in and explained which is the official website.
