5-40 kt yield; only ~243 lb / 110 kg in weight; small and robust enough to fit into an 8-inch / 203 mm artillery shell; oralloy pits; single-stage design (with tritium gas boosting in higher-yield variants).

Why didn't we see more of these boosted gun-type weapons developed by other nations? I could even imagine fitting 8 of these onto an ICBM and using them as a strategic weapon.

​

And why does the 911 seem to be such a common base for tuners and coachbuilders? You don't see nearly as many restomod or specially engineered high-end tuning packages for other sports cars like e.g. Corvette, AMG GT, BMW M4, Dodge Charger etc.

Teil 1

Wer es noch nicht mitbekommen hat: Obwohl ich weder Fan der CSU noch von Dobrindt bin, wollte ich der in meinen Augen völlig übertriebenen Empörungswelle unter einem aktuellen Post entgegentreten. Das Resultat: 7 Tage Bann, obwohl mein Kommentar weder verfassungswidrig noch gegen die Reddit-Community oder r/de Regeln verstoßen hat. Meine Kommentare sind öffentlich, ihr könnt sie euch gerne durchlesen, wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt.

Trotz der Warnung von euch wollte ich den r/de Mods noch einmal eine Chance geben und die Situation klären. Wie man sieht, habe ich dabei sogar versucht, dem Mod entgegenzukommen, was sich im Nachhinein als großer Fehler herausgestellt hat. Das Resultat: Meine 7-Tage-Sperre wurde in einen Permaban umgewandelt.

Vielleicht ist heute einfach ein besonders schlechter Mod auf r/de unterwegs. Wenn ich mir allerdings eure Erfahrungen durchlese, entsteht bei mir zunehmend der Eindruck, dass inzwischen leider zu einer radikalen Echokammer verkommen ist.

Wie gesagt: Niemand muss meiner Meinung sein. Ich hatte nie ein Problem damit, dass meine Kommentare auf regelmäßig Gegenwind bekommen haben, ganz im Gegenteil. Gerade durch das Hinterfragen der eigenen Überzeugungen kann man sich weiterentwickeln. Deshalb war der eher linke Kurs auf r/de für mich nie das eigentliche Problem. Problematisch finde ich vielmehr, dass dort mittlerweile selbst moderate und höflich formulierte Meinungen offenbar nach purer Willkür geblockt werden. Das Modteam von r/de verschließt sich damit vollständig einem demokratischen Diskurs. Das ist einfach traurig und ein Armutszeugnis für Reddit-DACH.

PS: Hier sind die Kommentare, welchen der r/de Mod verlinkt hat, um meinen Permaban zu rechtfertigen.

From Wikipedia: The Aztec is a sports car introduced by Italdesign at the 1988 Turin Motor Show, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the firm. The two-seater is unique because the driver and passenger are separated, requiring the two parties to communicate electronically. It incorporates a speedster body style with partial visor sections which are removable and open in a gull-wing arrangement. It was fitted with a turbocharged Audi engine mated to a four-wheel-drive system derived from the Lancia Delta HF Integrale.A Turin-based trading company called Compact srl bought the rights to the Aztec and planned to build 50 examples, to be sold exclusively in Japan. Carrozzeria Savio was contracted to build the cars. According to most sources only 18 cars were ever built, although some sources simply state the production number as "less than 25". Italdesign's initial plan was for the Aztec to be fitted with Audi's then-new, 3.6-liter V8 engine. As the V8 was not completed in time, an Audi-sourced five-cylinder DOHC engine was used instead. It produces 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp), although the car carried a prominent "250 HP" badge on the flank. Many cars were indeed fitted with boosted engines producing closer to that number.

The car incorporated futuristic styling cues with many features ahead of its time. The car had control panels on both sides of the car at the aluminium body panels at the rear and upon entering certain codes into the panel, information and about the car's performance status along with certain functions of the car (i.e., an extra set of lights, hydraulic jack, removable screw driver, a fire extinguisher, a compressor for inflating tires and a flashlight) could be accessed via a voice message. Inside of the car, the car was wrapped in a leather interior and there was a separate instrument cluster for the passenger shaped like a steering wheel displaying vital information about the car and containing damper controls and communication controls along with engine timing controls. The car also incorporated a satellite navigation system located in the centre of the dashboard (positioned more towards the driver). The design of the car is inspired by the space technology rather than the organic technologies used in that era while the LeMans inspired wing mirrors gave a nod to the aspects of motorsport. The car incorporated an adequate luggage compartment in order to carry the normal luggage of the occupants while being true to its futuristic theme. A carbon fibre rear wing optimised for downforce and roll-bars for safety of the occupants were also installed.

Doesn't it feel strange sitting so exposed right in the front row?
