2/13/2024 0 Comments Yakuza 4 part 2 chapter 3The reason Katsuragi hatched the entire plot with Ihara and Arai was to force the Tojo Clan into giving them a stake in Kamurocho Hills, since he hopes the money he would get out of it would make him powerful enough to escape Munakata's control. Munakata had also been using Sugiuchi to murder anyone who could expose his plots, including Tanimura's father. Over the ensuing 25 years, Munakata has been controlling Shibata and Katsuragi to manipulate the Tokyo underworld to advance his career and has succeeded in becoming Deputy Commissioner of the Tokyo Police. Sugiuchi's superior at the time, Seishiro Munakata, easily picked up on the inconsistencies in his report and then used the threat of exposing the conspiracy to blackmail him, Katsuragi and Shibata. The plan also required Sugiuchi to file a false police report covering up the rubber bullets, but here the plan went awry. Katsuragi then executed all the victims with real bullets after Saejima left eliminating all his rivals while guaranteeing his and Ueno's survival. When Saejima carried out the hit, he knocked out all the victims, except for Katsuragi, who was wearing protection under his suit. Shibata gave these guns to Saejima for the attack, which Saejima could not distinguish from real bullets due to his lack of experience with firearms. Once defeated, Sugiuchi reveals the truth about the Yoshiharu Ueno hit.īack in 1985, he collaborated with Katsuragi and Shibata in orchestrating the hit by providing the guns and ammunition for the attack: Guns loaded with experimental police rubber bullets whose impact can knock out a person without killing them. Despite his surprising combat skills, Sugiuchi is defeated by Tanimura. Outside, Tanimura and Sugiuchi get into a violent fist fight after Sugiuchi confesses that he was the one who killed Tanimura's father all those years ago. Tanimura is the only one who chases after him, as all the other officers are cowered by his threats. Unshaken, Sugiuchi threatens all the officers with retaliation by the higher-ups in the force who protect him and rushes out of the warehouse. Suddenly, multiple police officers led by Chief Junichi Sudo burst into the warehouse, since Tanimura warned them about the trap he was setting for Katsuragi's infiltrator. Tanimura is not surprised, as he'd suspected Sugiuchi was the traitor because he knew about the trap Katsuragi was going to spring on him during their meeting. The conversation is interrupted when Mishima is shot dead by none other than Detective Sugiuchi, who reveals himself to be Katsuragi's mole within the TMPD. Mishima claims Katsuragi instructed him and Ihara to cause trouble for the Shibata Family on the night of Ihara's murder and that he has since ordered his goons to kill Mishima if they find him, so he needs to be taken into witness protection. Tanimura meets with Mishima in the dock warehouse where he was hiding.

Rivals include the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40 and the new Alfa Romeo Tonale. There’s a scarcity of non-plug-in series/parallel hybrid rivals for the UX in this premium small SUV segment, where conventional engines are often combined with mild-hybrid systems, and where plug-in hybrids and, increasingly, full-electric powertrains are gathering steam. Low CO2 emissions will make it an appealing company car, ensuring the UX sits several Benefit-in-Kind tax bands lower than the equivalent BMW or Audi.The 2023 Lexus UX 250h Sports Luxury reviewed here is a high-spec, hybrid-powered, front-wheel drive model priced at $60,850 plus on-road costs. Our UX was returning more than 50mpg, but Lexus claims 65mpg is achievable, and our experiences in similarly-powered Toyota models would suggest those numbers are feasible. Of course, that hybrid set-up offers encouraging real-world running costs. The F Sport’s steering wheel paddles control the car’s regenerative braking rather than mimicking the step ratios of a conventional auto. The sole gearbox option is much smoother than previous Lexus CVTs, yet it still offers little fun or feedback. Refinement is impressive, although some of Sweden’s harsher surfaces did generate a considerable amount of road noise. Using a new 2.0-litre petrol engine linked to two powerful electric motors, it’s capable of 0-62mph in 8.5 seconds. The single powertrain choice, in true Lexus fashion, is a ‘self-charging’ hybrid. We’ve yet to try a car on passive dampers, however, which may result in a rougher ride. Around town it’s well cushioned, and little seems to catch the UX out at speed. Using Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) from the firm’s flagship LC coupé ensures it rides nicely, too. It reduces vibrations and flex, and translates to a surprisingly entertaining driving experience. That sharp steering is the result of a new set-up that has let the engineers mount the steering rack directly to the sub-frame. Lexus UX 300e vs Mercedes EQA: 2022 twin test review. That reduced roofline is reflected inside, where the low driving position gives the UX a sportier feel from behind the wheel. Lower but longer than most of its main rivals, it cuts a profile more akin to the current crop of coupé-SUVs. On the outside, the UX has a whiff of first-generation BMW X1 about it. As the crossover’s popularity shows no signs of slowing, Lexus has brought the compact UX to market the Mercedes GLA-inspired small model will be introduced next month, priced from around £30,000. Now, just three years after unveiling its second soft-roader, the NX, a third SUV is on the way. It was also one of the first makers to offer a luxury SUV, when it launched the original RX back in 1998. Hybrid pioneer Lexus has been building electrified powertrains for decades. Our final verdict will hinge heavily on final prices and specs, which are due next month. Beware, however, because rivals are more practical and are likely to prove less expensive to buy. If you want a subtle dose of crossover-inspired style in a desirable, decent-to-drive and cheap-to-run package, this could be the car for you. While the new Lexus UX 250h is perhaps not as conventionally ‘SUV’ as a BMW X1 or Audi Q3, there’s plenty to like about it. 2/12/2024 0 Comments Light blue shortsIf you need to dress up your outfit quickly, why not pair this ensemble with a pair of navy canvas loafers?Ī pair of blue shorts can be worn with any white, black, green, yellow, beige, or multi-colored top.

You’ll also want to think about the color of your shoes and accessories, as well as the overall style you’re going for.

They did not become common until the 1970s. In 1955 the Dempster Dumpmaster, the first front loader, was introduced. This was made possible by use of a hydraulic press which periodically compacted the contents of the truck. The first compactor could double a truck's capacity. In 1938, the Garwood Load Packer revolutionized the industry when including a compactor in the truck was implemented. His containers were known as Dumpsters, which led to the word dumpster entering the language. In 1937, George Dempster invented the Dempster-Dumpster system in which wheeled waste containers were mechanically tipped into the truck. It used a cable system that could pull waste into the truck. A more efficient model was the development of the hopper in 1929. The first technique developed in the late 1920s to solve this problem was to build round compartments with corkscrews that would lift the load and bring it away from the rear. The main difficulty was that the waste collectors needed to lift the waste to shoulder height. These covered trucks were first introduced in more densely populated Europe and then in North America, but were soon used worldwide. The 1920s saw the first open-topped trucks being used, but due to foul odors and waste falling from the back, covered vehicles soon became more common. Among the first self-propelled garbage trucks were those ordered by Chiswick District Council from the Thornycroft Steam Wagon and Carriage Company in 1897 described as a steam motor tip-car, a new design of body specific for "the collection of dust and house refuse". Wagons and other means had been used for centuries to haul away solid waste. History Thornycroft Steam Dust-Cart of 1897 with tipper body These trucks are a common sight in most urban areas. Technical names include waste collection vehicle and refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Other common names for this type of truck include trash truck in the United States, and refuse truck, dustcart, junk truck, bin wagon or bin van elsewhere. dustbin lorry, rubbish lorry or bin lorry is commonly used. In Australia they are commonly called rubbish trucks, or garbage trucks, while in the U.K. A Garbage Truck Peterbilt In Los Angeles A Scania front loaderĪ garbage truck is a truck specially designed to collect municipal solid waste and transport it to a solid waste treatment facility, such as a landfill, recycling center or transfer station.

As for the indigo server, you can download it for OS X here from the cloudmakers website for free: cloudmakers indigoserverĪs for the settings, see my experiences at the beginning of this thread. You can connect the mount directly to your mac, no need to go via the handcontroller. You'll need a USB-A to USB-B cable ( amazon). I'd like to see some photos of your setup, just for curiosity. I haven use a windows machine since Windows XP, so I prefer to stick to a Mac. Last but not least, I'm still waiting for the mount to arrive in December (bloody pandemic), do you need any extra cable to connect everything? I'm about to buy a mac mini now that I see that it's possible. Is it easy to do? did you follow any guide that you can share with us? I'm also curious on the steps to connect to an indigo server. (And now I'm going to recover 90GB by removing windows □ was wondering if that was possible (Connect a goto to a mac). Still todo: incorporate PHD2 and my ZWO guide camera in this setup Now go to Stellarium, configure the telescope, connect it, search an object and slew to it That's where my 2 hours experience with ASCOM, EQMOD and Stellarium on windows helped me: the mount needed to be unparked: in the Indigo server gui, collapse the entry "Mount", select "Park" and on the left click "Mount Unparked" ) but no way I could make Stellarium slew to any object I gave it. Set the correct baud rate: 115200 (I sticked to the default 9600 and that does not work - I had found this via the youtube AstroForum channel where the guy explains how to do this setup on windows using ascom and eqmod)Īt that point, Indigo server connected to the mount, Stellarium connected to the mount (though Stellarium says it connects to a telescope. Start Indigo server and in "Preferences" > "Indigo Drivers", check "Synscan Mount (2.0.0.15)" Look for the correct port that indigo has to use: in a terminal window execute: ls -l /dev/cu.usbserial* - copy the name that looks like: /dev/cu.usbserial-141120 (the number may differ as I'm using a usb hub - do not take /dev/cu.usbserial) I installed ASCOM platform, EQMOD and stellarium and I could configure it so that I could find an object in stellarium and make the mount slew to it with a direct connection.īut I had such remorse over the idea that I was running windows on my MacBook that I decided to go over the initial plan once more and I finally made it work here is how I made it work:Ĭonnect the Mac(Book) directly to EQ6R (not via the handcontroler) The whole idea was such a pain, and I could not make this setup work, to such a point that I gave in and actually installed Windows 10 on my laptop (with BootCamp). I was going to use Stellarium to control the mount, as it's support INDI Then I decided to control the mount directly (not via the handcontroller) with the MacBook as ascom and eqmod are not available on OS X, I installed Indigo Server I recently became the happy owner of a Sky-Watcher EQ6R-Pro and wanted to start astrophotography with my Canon 500D.įor the capturing I evaluated AstroDSLR and Nebulosity4 and decided to stick with Nebulosity4 as one can handle the capturing and processing all in one package.

It was far easier to map the back buttons to hold items in different directions, rather than reaching the thumb all the way over to the centre of the wheel every time. The majority of these clickers are easily reachable and well placed, though we did find that Item button to be pretty much unusable in more frantic Mario Kart sessions. If you do stray from Rainbow Road, there's a handy switch up top to toggle different control schemes which, combined with the programmable buttons, means you can quickly set up for other games as well. From there, you'll just need to boot up your console and you're away - no need to configure tricky settings (for Mario Kart at least), everything works straight out the box. The whole system plugs into your Nintendo Switch dock via a USB-A cable, with the pedals connecting to the wheel base directly. We did find the design lent itself far better to being attached via the full clamp rather than the unreliable suction cups included in the box, but apart from that setup is quick and easy. Add in some thoughtful extras - remappable back buttons, a dedicated Item button, and a solid level of sensitivity customization - and you've got excellent value for money overall. This is one of the very few full-sized racing wheels available for Nintendo Switch (a smaller Mini version is better suited for kids), and offers a surprisingly impressive experience despite coming in at just under $100 / £100.Ģ70º degrees of movement in the wheel may be a little short for PC pros, but serves Mario Karters just fine, and with a fully programmable deck you're sorted for pretty much every title you can throw at it as well. If you're looking to breathe new life into your copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, look no further than Hori's Pro Deluxe racing wheel. In our testing the included suction cups did nothing to hold the wheel in place. ❌ You'll be relying on the suction cups: If you don't have a table suitable for the clamp, it might be time to think twice. ❌ You're buying for younger kids: There's a smaller, lighter version of the Hori racing wheel that is far better for little hands. Read more: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller review The best racing wheel for Nintendo Switch Not only is the build-quality excellent, it boasts Amiibo functionality that third-party alternatives lack. However, you’re better off with the official Nintendo model in our experience. Sure, you can pick up similar 'pro controllers' for a lot less from other manufacturers (like the generally excellent PowerA). We were also impressed by the overall balance and feel as well, noting the solid design with no hollow plastic noises. We did find, however, that the face buttons are a strangely high profile compared to the rest of the body, and could be more comfortable with slightly rounded edges. Textured handles provided plenty of much-needed precision in our testing, and we found that the thumbsticks provide far greater control than those of the Joy-Con as well, particularly in fiddly titles like Fuser. Pick one up and you can immediately tell that it's a premium controller. Don't think it's a cheeky money spinner for Nintendo that you won't get any benefit from, either. |
