Hard Rock Cafe?

yup, all of them worldwide have that sign. when i still used syringes to shoot up my insulin and we went to one of those my gag was always:

"hey they won't let me in here."
"oh, for your needles?"
"no, the other one."

i like gibson but i do not care for reading about a world where clinton won

unless its like a super minor background detail

surprised billy gee was that salty about it. I'd have been ok with peripheral being a one off, honestly.

locked common bathrooms are not uncommon in multi tenant office buildings

have you never seen that before?

most of the time it's a straightforward code punch or badge swipe to get in, not having to to scan a qr code or finger gently caress an app

It's neat how if you get to that bathroom and it's gated behind that app, the method of retaliation is immediately obvious

Now that we have composites that make them reliable and usable, why don't we see more forward-swept wings? IIRC they have extremely good high-alpha performance and so should be ideal for fighters?

e: oh wait I thought this was the airplane thread. Lol nm I don't expect anyone here to answer that

thrust vectoring and missiles basically make the advantages irrelevant

you mean modern air combat is not accurately represented by the dogfight in top gun?

also, the russian version (su-47) had thrust vectoring too

came out a decade after the 29 and none of sukhoi's later production models kept the forward sweep

iirc the f16 was orignally meant to not have radar (which is like half the cost of a modern plane). just a supercheap local interceptor, meant to be thrown in bulk at the migs and sukhois that would fill the sky over the fulda gap on day one of wwiii

of course once all the various parts of the air force got their oars in the design it ended up being a typical overpriced christmas tree do-everything (all weather! ground attack! in-air refuelling!) fighter plane, of which the usaf already had several kinds

"the pentagon and the art of war" has all the gory details

The Pentagon Wars book also talks about this. the bit about the bradley was made into a movie, but the book goes into far more detail about the f-15 and 16 procurements

lmao just imagine someone asking if they could use your phone and you hand them this loving thing

i picked one up a few months ago for kicks. it looks very cyberpunk movie computer, but once you figure out what all the lines and dots mean it's an unexpectedly information-dense interface. anything beyond the launcher and boot screen is plain old anroid, but yeah, if you aren't expecting it you're not going to know wtf to do with that thing.

you can set up a hud with torque pro and an odb2 adapter, which is pretty neat. gotta figure out how to keep your phone from sliding around your dash tho

if you like pissbaby ghetto huds that wipe out the view in front of you when you drive under a street light or the sun then this is definitely an option

glad it helped! moved most of my spam about them over to the spare projects thread. found someone who has actually got one working, and who made a schematic for a 25 pin parallel port adapter, among other things.

awesome, thanks!

The one and only time I bought a pair of jeans on amazon they looked completely normal and unremarkable on the website, but when they arrived and they had a huge roaring tiger on the left rear end cheek, rendered in metallic red and gold stitching, possibly with sequins.
Straight in the TRASH.

get real, that's probably the most cyberpunk article of clothing you'll ever own and you pitched it?

lesson 1: pick a goalpost and stick to it for say 2-3 posts and if the goalpost moves an iota, declare victory. nothing matters to them, so nothing matters to you. if it doesnt move, just leave it alone cause its not important anyway.

that's ok, the 2017 one looked like it said "cyberpink" so that continues the gimmick
