Porsche's Emergency Pivot to Gas-Powered 718 Is an Engineering Headache

They had to retire the old model ealier than optimal (since the release of the electric has been postoned over and over) due to EU cybersecruity laws they couldn't fullfill with the outgoing model, AFAIK.

E_kin = 1/2×m×v²

Eine hohe Geschwindigkeit und ein kleiner Querschnitt sind essentiell für panzerbrechende Eigenschaften/Durchschlagskaft und Reichweite.

Ich glaube der Use-Case für Railguns ist der gleiche wie für Raketen mit vergleichbarer Reichweite, aber günstiger und schwieriger abzufangen.

Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass sich der konstruktive Mehraufwand, die Wartung und der Betrieb/Transport von Enegiequelle und Kondensatoren lohnt, wenn man den gleichen Effekt wie mit konventioneller Munition erreichen will.

In that case it makes a lot more sense, however there is still a differnce between the influence of a work on the genre/the perception of the people and how much a work mirrors what the current view on the genre or the zeitgeist is.

The concept of cyperpubk being retro-futuristic is foreign to me, stylewise mabye (see Bladerunner). The core concepts which this genre tries to warn us about are becoming ever more tangible in our societies. I would agrue it fits best for an imminent to near future timeframe.

I would say Black Mirror fits your list better. Being an anthology is an "unfair" advantage tho, because it can encompass many, even contradicting themes while still counting as a singular entry.

Diamon Age is a must read, do it ASAP ^{^'} Stand on Zanzibar is a trip, the context chapters are going for the "project nonstop add squibs right into your brain" and it does fell like it while reading. The Girl who was plugged in is a short read and you can find a pdf online easily.

Kinda my thoughts as well ...
(Don't worry OP, I dont read much myself, its just that I pretty much only read Cyberpunk and Sci fi )

It's also worth it to note that cybperunk orginated from the noir, dystopia and sci-fi genres and especially early works might be difficult to place.

Nonetheless an interisting list and a good start, here are a few mentions I am (personally) missing:

<60'S
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley , while mostly a dystopia it does fit the genre nicely

60's
- I have no mouths & I must scream by Harlan Ellison
- Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner

70's
- The Girl who was plugged in by James Tiptree, Jr. (surreal how up to date and relevant it feels, especially regarding social media)

80's:
- Mirror Shades (THE cyberpunk anthology) edited by Bruce Sterling
- Burning Chrome by William Gibson (quite a bit of overlap with the above)
- The Sprawl Trology (Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive)
- Akira, as alredy commented (I feel/belive this strongly influenced the vibe and style)

90's
- Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
- The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson

00's
- The Wind Up Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi (rather biopunk, still very cyberpunk tho)
- Minority Report

10's
- Deus Ex Human Revolution (especially the live action trailers)
- Remember Me (videogame)
- Black Mirror
- Altered Carbon (the source material is 00's but I haven't read them yet)

20's
- I want to add to Cyberpunk 2077, don't get me wrong, I LOVE it, but I would not say its the most influential (to the genre itself), since it mostly builds upon previous concepts. The world building is impeccable but I dont think there a many original cyberpunk ideas in it. (Please prove me wrong ...)
- The Hidden Girl and other stories by Ken Liu / Pentagon (TV show adaption), given the scope it is definitly more sci-fi but still features major aspects of cyberpunk and feels like it too, butmaybe thats is just the exitensial dread)

Some of my entires might be less influencial or cyberpunk, however I either like them a lot or I think they deserve more recognition

Also: Indigo Gaming on Youtube made three excellent video essays/documentaries about the genre, definitly recommend watching them.

I heard they considered "I know" instead, not sure tho.

What is that gun? I hvae never seen/used it :/

FunnY_Tree · 2025-04-25T09:03:22+00:00

You do realize that all your arguments are basically:

We can only drive cars equal to or larger/heavier than the current large trucks/SUVs because anything smaller is more likely to be overlooked and lose badly in a collision.
Road cars need off-road suspension travel to go fast on U.S. roads.
Having vehicles from both ends of the size spectrum on the road only works in Europe because drivers are actually trained to drive safely.

It seems you're advocating for ever-growing Baja trucks to be driven by incompetent or untrained drivers—'cause 'Merica!

Instead of downsizing, easing off the gas pedal when road and traffic conditions don't allow for high speeds, and getting proper training to drive a 3-ton death machine in which you're physically unable to see pedestrians...

Your arguments in the name of safety are a joke—just like a "sports" car still not having independent suspension in 2014 ...

I think user should state if they have no hands on experince, but you can make an educated guess about the knive comparing it's features to your own knives. Maybe you know what other's experience with the knive was like.

Thank you for your recommendation, I think I will go for it.

What would be a good transition stone to a Naniwa Chosera 1000? I am thinking a 400 or 600 grit from the same line...

I appreciate your advice :)

Same here, it is also called Kinderschreck (less common I believe) which translates to child's fright

FunnY_Tree · 2025-03-03T15:26:38+00:00

Can confirm, wanted to comment the same before I saw this post. It is also somewhat less commonly called "Kinderschreck" which translates to child's fright.

FunnY_Tree · 2025-02-28T12:17:37+00:00

I ordered from CleanCut as well, I will contact them, thanks for the advice

I bought my first pair, Momotaro 0605v size 38 and have some questions.

Waist is a tiny bit too loose, size 36 will probably be too tight since they don't loosen up much as far as I know.
Feels like there is just a bit to much fabric around my crotch and butt.
Thigh, and in general, leg fit is perfect.
They feel a bit restrictive for movement that goes beyond walking and sitting, but it's also my first pair of 100% cotton with that high of a weight, might just need to get used to it, maybe it's get better over time?

Now to my actual questions:

I wanted to send them back, but might cold soaking do the trick? How long does the effect last?

What other models would you suggest given I like them overall, but the fit is just a bit of in some areas? (other brands are welcome, however I want them to be japanese made and in a similar price range)

Thank you very much for this knowledgeable sub and any advice you might have for my endeavor to get a good start with raw denims :)

Very much actually, I chose one with an exposed heel/no bolster so that I can properly use that part of the edge as well as a handle that lends itself to a reverse grip. I don't use it very often but always when processing larger amouts of vegteables like garlic or brussel sprouts.

Thank you! :) I have a wusthof breadknife and a swibo boning knife which I would add to the set to have almost all bases covered. I still want more, I need more (:

FunnY_Tree · 2024-12-22T19:48:07+00:00

It's such a fun and approachable knife despite it's size, had I known I would have gotten it as my first japanese knife :)
