Except unlike the S13, the A31 could be had with various flavors of RB inline 6.

Am I the only one weirded out by having to call the model “kerosene-fueled?” I mean, if it’s powered by a jet turbine of any sort then it’s of course fueled by kerosene since jet fuel (Jet-A, Jet-A1, JP-8, etc.) is kerosene.

The issue is that, due to the vagaries of the law, there is no legal way for the film to be released. At this point, people have just accepted that no amount of lobbying or fan response is going to get it out, unless some obscure legal loophole is found.

I’m amazed at how much is actually shot on location, even for stuff that you’d think is CG. For example, the spaceport in episode 4 was shot at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. That was a lot of effort, including moving million-dollar Formula 1 cars out of the way, for a two shots that barely lasted a…

Public mass transit has been shown to be able to cover majority of it though. There are numerous cities around the world that are walkable and have train and bus networks that cover almost everywhere you need to go. America’s cities are just badly designed and make it so that the car is your only option.

One issue with AVs is that they aren’t the real answer to traffic and congestion that people make them out to be—the real solution to that would be a proper, working public transportation system. Too bad America spent the last half-century or so destroying what they had of that.

S20 is arguably the best sounding inline-6 ever made.

Missing the Alfa Busso, the Nissan/Prince S20 and the Mercedes M198.

Since most of the usual suspects (Busso, B58, etc.) are already taken, I’ll toss in the Nissan S20. Take a Prince inline-4 that was derived from a Mercedes inline-6, add those two cylinders back in (to make the 240Z’s L20), give it a new twin-cam head, then let it rev to over 7500 RPM and you have arguably the best…

You won’t see these in actual matches anyway. These are just for the lobbies (and the open world mode when the game releases).

You don’t use your custom character in actual fights in the beta. These are only for the online lobbies and the open world mode when the game comes out.

Everything about this is so that the owner can show off to his oligarch friends and enemies that they have one.

It’s cheaper when you aren’t trying to pad your own pockets with government money.

The other thing to note is that what happens after the formal establishment of the Rebel Alliance is already in well trodden on territory. While there could still be some stories told about what happened between her broadcast in Dantooine and the events of Rogue One and ANH, there’s more space for stories to be told…

Shady sponsors will always be a part of F1. They were there before Moneytron and they will be there after Crypto.com. Money is all F1 really cares about after all, the only difference nowadays is that Liberty understands that everyone needs to make money, unlike in Bernie’s day where he was the only one supposed to…

It’s a TV series so yes, it’s an alternate continuity. UC only ever appears in OVAs and movies nowadays (not counting Reconguista, which was secretly UC and related to Turn A).

Ichiro Okouchi is credited as the series’ writer, so he’s more than just “one of the people.”

That’s just how anime runs. Shows are usually divided into three month “kuru” or “cours”—from the French “cour” for course. These are basically production blocks of episodes enough to fill these three months, which coincide with the quarters of the year. 

Can’t be Maul because he’s on his way to Sith hobo-hood at this point.

To both play Canadians.
