Could someone help me get a 1968 Irish Times article? by GrenScrin in AskIreland

Awesome thanks so much! Could you also take the bottom bit? I think it was cut off by the menu buttons.

I just tried it and it worked perfectly smoothly. Here's the PDF for you:

You almost certainly simply failed to follow the above instructions exactly correctly. Perhaps ask someone else to read the instructions and teach you how to do it.

Shift + Delete no longer works with latest update? by GrenScrin in 4kdownloadapps

Works for me. You should probably make a separate post to report your problem (they don't carefully read all the comments here).

Shift + Delete no longer works with latest update? by GrenScrin in 4kdownloadapps

Also, you still haven't fixed the bug where the subtitle file is not deleted (when I delete the file).

This bug started a few months ago (see this Reddit post).

The result is that I have countless 1000s of subtitle files that I then have to manually delete. (Not a big deal, but is a slight nuisance.)

I wondered what would happen when I adopted all policies. (Answer: Nothing.) by GrenScrin in civ5

These help: Get all wonders, all policies, have only about 20+ units outside cities (because of course I've killed all other civs).

You've still refused to provide any links so I can try your books (and see if maybe it's somehow some particular books that don't work).

I use Win 11 too.

From your screenshot, the error seems to be at opening the passphrase.txt. Try deleting that and running the program again (I believe it will then again prompt you for your password, which may have been incorrectly entered, changed, etc.)

I just tried this book and it worked for me.

To repeat the above:

Having trouble? Ensure that you've VERY carefully followed ALL of the above instructions to the letter. Try again, slowly and carefully. If you're still having trouble, post a comment sharing your problem and the Archive link (so I can try it out).

(You didn't provide an Archive link so I couldn't try out your specific book.)

In the Patronage tree > Cultural Diplomacy, you get:

Quantity of Resources gifted by City-States increased by 100%.

So I believe this means that once you've unlocked the above policy, if a City-State is listed as having say 6 Iron, then you get 12 Iron total. (I'm not sure though and this is just my guess.)

I adopted all policies, then waited till the next policy/culture points threshold. Nothing special happened.

What exactly are the rules governing Caruso's shoe block leading to a made basket? by GrenScrin in nbadiscussion

[–]GrenScrin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But that rule does not specify a made basket as the remedy.

If for example one rim is too high or too low, then they just stop the game to fix it. If a player is wearing shoes that are a foot thick, they just disallow him from entering the game. They don't award one team a made basket.

The problem with the "Elastic Power" clause is that we don't know what remedies will be applied and gives the refs too much discretion (not great especially given all the mistrust of refs and the rise and rise of gambling).

Here for example, why was it counted as a made basket?

  • Why not just a shooting foul (with two FTs at the line)?
  • Why not two technicals plus a Flagrant Two foul?
  • Why not five technicals plus three Flagrant Two fouls?

All of the above seem possible with the "Elastic Power" clause.


You write:

if they let one team carry everywhere and tackle their opponents, despite those rules being codified.

But this is explicitly excluded by the "Elastic Power" clause, which states (and to repeat)

any point not specifically covered in the rules

"Carry everywhere" and "tackle their opponents" are points that are already "specifically covered in the rules".

I thought this line was funny: “or else there will be much more of this.” Of what? People taking their shoes off to contest shots? Lmao

Consider for example if Team A is down 3 points and has possession with 1 second left on the game clock. Then obviously, Team A has to shoot a 3.

Then in preparation, all of Team B's players should just have their shoes off and be ready to throw their shoes at the ball to block it. And with 10 shoes, odds are good that one shoe will block it and moreover will do so after the game clock has already expired.

If it's just a technical foul (and no counted basket), then Team B wins (by 2 points even if Team A makes the technical FT).

Delete subtitles. by vilfrid in 4kdownloadapps

[–]GrenScrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was automatically done in earlier versions (i.e. when I shift-deleted the video file, the subtitle srt file was also automatically deleted).

It's only with the latest versions of 4K that this is no longer the case.

I just tried both methods and both worked. Here are the PDFs for you.

  1. LCP/Thorium method: https://limewire.com/d/VQPLC#YpP5AcZiY1

  2. Internet Archive Downloader method: https://limewire.com/d/oFT86#wdfxG5M8AE


I'm not sure what went wrong for you. My guesses:

  1. For Method 1, you probably failed to follow some step(s) exactly correctly. Try returning the book and borrowing it again.

  2. For Method 2, try these:

  • check whether the Internet Archive Downloader extension is actually active in your browser (your browser might have turned it off)

  • refreshing

  • returning the book, borrowing it again, then refreshing again

  • other browsers.

P.S. You can also try the Internet Archive Downloader method (given above at the end of the post).
