I don’t think a large cannon on a civil war tank would have been required or desirable.

A Hotchkiss 5-barrel revolving cannon firing 1-pound or 3-pound shells from 10-round magazines would have been devastating on a platform like this, though came 10 years too late, a .50 caliber or 1-inch caliber Gatling gun could

There’s some farms in Washington State that grow it, apparently the climate in some parts of the state is dead nuts for where the stuff is grown in Japan.

I don't think it would work well indoors. It's a very finicky plant.

Or you know, just do what you want and don't let snooty Zagat videos tell you how you should eat.

C1-10P is my favorite sociopath right now.

Meanwhile, in Japan

I can’t see trusting anyone to not misuse such a system.

“if you aren’t doing anything wrong, what is there to hide?”


Not even upset that it’s corded, but that the cord is exposed?

The show holds up surprisingly well, too. YES it has silly elements, comic relief robot, kids, but is remarkably hardcore for its time.

Wanted one ever since I saw this.

Yeah but he didn’t finish a race upside-down and on fire like Clint did. Extra points for doing that in the Jack Daniels car.

Javelin Catcher is a dangerous job.

She didn’t have any meat parts in Standalone Complex or Rise or any interpretation I’ve seen so far. Full conversion at a young age and one of the most proficient prosthetic body users known.

There’s certainly plenty of room for Asian characters in Section 9. Not sure about Batou, but Aramaki, Pazu, Saito, Ishikawa, Togusa and Boma are all easily Asian.

Nice saying that without using the rest of the thought.

Racially ambiguous characters will be self-identified with, in general. The question is are they written as asian, and in the case of many of the main characters in GiTS, that’s up for debate.

See my previous reply. That would be a valid argument in Japan today. Japan in GiTS is far, far more cosmopolitan.

But that’s not it either. The Japan portrayed in Ghost in the Shell is no longer the racially homogeneous Japan we know today. Climate change, disasters, wars, and economic factors have turned it into a cyberpunk cosmopolitan hub of mingling ethnicities in almost open clash with fading traditional Japanese culture.

GiTS

I should have said a mass-produced face.
