2023 KTM X-BO GT-XR is a crazy road-racer with a fighter jet canopy
KTM’s previous attempts at building road cars have been pretty extreme but the X-Bow GT-XR turns the volume up to eleven with its inherent madness. It’s basically a road-going GT2-inspired racer with not enough power for its weight.

Overall weight is a surprisingly low 1130kg and its carbon-fiber monocoque is actually under 90kg. Combine that with a gorgeous 493 bhp…
I'm extremely late for 1/1 but it's still January!!! Say hello to my human au Thomas design!! This has been on the back-burner for months but at least I've finally done it. While I can't say he's the oldest person around, he's definitely been with NWR the longest- he practically grew up in it! Though, he doesn't look like it...
Perhaps it's for the best. No one can handle Tall Thomas.
walkable cities is the colloquial term for what we in landscape architecture and civil engineering call "accessible infrastructure" which sort of has the inverse effect of making it seem exclusively focused on accessibility for the disabled. the goal for (respectable) professionals is to create a seamless city with as few catching points as possible for as few people as possible. This means it will be a "walkable" city (read: gives the most individuals the greatest degree of freedom to move between the most points). This Obviously includes people with mobility aids, it also includes parents with small children in strollers, and blind people, and those with cognitive disorders, and the elderly, and young children who should, in a functioning urban area, be able to take themselves to school, or a friend's house, or after school activities. there will never be only one solution to creating accessible infrastructure, which is why you should never trust someone claiming a single approach will solve everything. There will always be someone who needs a car, but if we create spaces which are less violently inhospitable to anyone outside a car, it opens up a lot of new interesting solutions to sustainable transportation.
anyways this has been my rant in response to someone else's very incorrect rant about how "walkable cities is an ableist framework and if you claim that people saying this is a psyop you're evil and cruel". I understand the person who made the post probably just doesn't understand the term or how it is used among the people actually designing things so I didn't want to dump this on their post. I also think the original post calling this (incorrect) position a psyop probably is just one misguided person reacting to other misguided people so like. not really on anyone's side here just trying to explain the actual intent behind the terms so maybe everyone can just calm down a little
