He lacks of bit of the "roughness" that I come to associated with Case. I think Mark Strong is a pretty good option for Armitage. Mark Mencha for Dixie is about as close to a physical manifestation of a construct as one could get lol. Don't know much about Briana but I don't think she will be a bad Molly based on the 2 minute trailer.
Other thoughts I have in no particular order: Lots of CG which could be good or bad. The Sprawl seems way too clean. I mean the opening line in the book is "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel". It felt waaaay to bright and clean. Of course that might be Zion, but who knows.
There are some practical looking effects, so I hope it tries to strike a good balance. Very excited to see the Panther Moderns and my boi Lupus.
I am pretty sure William Gibson had conflicted thoughts about a movie or some kind of show, but all in all it feels like a good time to be a sci-fi fan. Hears to hoping its doesn't completely suck!

I was following this project for a bit, but every video I watched were I was expecting some kind of deep dive into the design ended up being some long drawn out story that really didn't have any relation to the thumbnail or title. It was pretty frustrating to watch. So I stopped watching and decided if I wanted a Kei truck, I would just buy an old-ass one lol
As for hub motors, see Aging Wheels video on why hub motors are a questionable choice. Its pretty informative.

Instead of having to use US made batteries, they could source from wherever.
I don't love the lack of subsidized US-made batteries. But silver lining right?
Either way, this is the EXACT kind of truck I want. Small, cheap and stupid. I've been wanting an older Ranger or Tacoma for all my DIY BS. The cost on old trucks has gone bonkers. Same with old vans too. Hopefully Slate has success so I can get one in a bit!

TheD00d Link ParentJesus. This hits close to home. Paid 175k for ours. It was built in (the earliest records we could find) 1895. Roof? 15 years old. HVAC? 15-20 years old. Stone foundation.

Roof? 15 years old. HVAC? 15-20 years old. Stone foundation. Water in the basement. Collapsing porch columns.
It needed and still needs a decent bit of work but it was still the cheapest nicest house we had looked at.

Japan is famously very collective and that seems well-suited for their style of companies. Makes me wonder if there could be any j-style companies here in the US.

Its a dead simple way to reduce carbon emissions and its a slow gradual introduction of solar to people who might otherwise be intimidated by the processing of doing your own DIY solar install. Hope Ohio can get its head out of its own ass and pass some laws making it legal here too.

Call me a child, but I enjoyed the Minions and Monsters movie. The throwback to the history of film was fun. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but it was fun.
