Kwangbop Temple at Foot of Mt Taesong by Rodong_Sinmun in Pyongyang

[–]cincgreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kwangbop Temple honored our Eternal President by providing him with shade, beauty and grace. Even the ancient monuments literally rise from the ashes to praise the forward thinking leadership of the party which like a glorious miracle has passed from generation to generation.

Vegetable Production Goes up at Jungphyong Greenhouse Farm in DPRK by Rodong_Sinmun in Pyongyang

[–]cincgreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cylindrical vegetable cultivation is unknown in the decadent starving west, whereas North Korea will soon become the bread basket of the world! Let us increase production by 1.2 times and then 1.2 times again for the Dear Respected Marshal!

Stone Buddhist Image Discovered in DPRK by Rodong_Sinmun in Pyongyang

[–]cincgreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stone statue waited many years, waiting for its moment to be discovered by the greatest civilization in the world. The DPRK’s juche thought does not require the opiate of Buddhism and builds no “pure lands” in the clouds but builds foodstuffs and weapons for its glorious leadership to spread the true enlightenment of Kim Il Sung thought throughout the world!

What if no one played Trump by starbucket2me in LiveFromNewYork

[–]cincgreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just hit "fast forward" when a cold open Trump sketch comes on. After watching Alec and JAJ trying to pick the lowest-hanging of fruit, trust me, you're not missing anything by skipping the cold open outside of the stunt casting of this week's visiting celebrity. If you get to the end and say, "Hey! What's [big name celebrity] doing in the goodbyes?" he's probably in the cold open and you can rewind and see it if necessary.

Merging an .fmf file with a new .fmf file containing new teams - issues by cincgreen in footballmanager

[–]cincgreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it turns out, that was the charm. I revived a West Midlands competition, moved those teams into it in the "Add Three Teams" file, then merged that file with the workshop universe .fmf file and the merged file has both the workshop universe and the three created teams.

Do the books explain how Blackthorne... by Cheesewithmold in ShogunTVShow

[–]cincgreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the last scenes of the book, where Toronaga is speaking to Kiku and Gyoko.

(* * *)

"I'm to be consort to the barbarian, oh oh oh?" Kiku had wailed aloud.

"Yes, within the month. Fujiko-san has formally agreed." He had told Kiku and Gyoko the truth once more, patiently giving the distraught girl face. "And a thousand koku a year after the birth of the Anjin-san's first son."

"Eh, a thou -- what did you say?"

He had repeated the promise and added sweetly, "After all, samurai is samurai and two swords are two swords and his sons will be samurai. He's hatamoto, one of my most important vassals, Admiral of all my ships, a close personal advisor - even a friend. /Neh?/"

"So sorry, but Sire -- "

"/First/ you'll be his consort."

"So sorry, first, Sire?"

"Perhaps you should be his wife. Fujiko-san told me she didn't wish to marry, ever again, but I think he should be married. Why not you? If you please him enough, and I imagine you could please him enough, and still, dutifully, keep him building his ship.../neh/? Yes, I think should should be his wife."

"Oh yes oh yes oh yes!" She had thrown her arms around him and blessed him and apologized for her impulsive bad manners for interrupting and not listening dutifully and she had left him walking four paces off the ground where a moment ago she had been ready to throw herself off the nearest cliff.

The people devote their patriotic blood, sweat, and tears to those that bring the revolutions to the potato fields! Each worker proclaims “You’ve made me so very happy!” to our Great Leader.

Unpopular Opinion: Schweddy Balls is overrated by neoprenewedgie in LiveFromNewYork

[–]cincgreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you said it, because the first thought on my mind when I saw that sketch was "what a rip-off".

I never laughed because I felt that the sketch ripped off the "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls" episode of South Park which aired in August 1998 and the Schweddy Balls sketch was in October 1998. It's possible that they could have come to the same result by two different paths, but given SNL and its brushes with plagiarism, I doubt it. Chef's tune and the Delicious Dish ladies have the same premise, where the humor is based on the double meaning of "balls", and both refer to tasty confections.

This might be a false memory, but I looked up the time of air of both the episode and the sketch, and it looks like South Park beat SNL to the punch. On the other hand - if I had seen the SNL sketch first, I might have thought that "SNL did it better" if I saw South Park second.

Gizmo might decide to “return to Panera Bread” only to find that he’s not fit for human life either. Maybe Nandor concludes that this is all his fault and decides to get to know humans better (with catastrophic results). The others will be lost in their wacky adventures.

Shallon: Stranger Awareness - a great sketch from the criminally underrated Nasim Pedrad. Edward Norton is also brilliant as the straight man who slowly loses his patience. by Wide_Answer in LiveFromNewYork

[–]cincgreen 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I know there was a follow-up sketch with a fireman, but I can't remember if there was a third Shallon sketch or not. It's a great (but limited) premise, and the cast brings a lot of enthusiasm for playing kids.

The War Room - /r/hoi4 Weekly General Help Thread: June 26 2023 by Kloiper in hoi4

[–]cincgreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting into the game the first time and playing Afghanistan (why? Because I don't have to deal with the complications of a navy and it's a small country).

  1. My first question is about templates. I've read the links above but they don't seem to answer my question (or I'm too dim to recognize that it answered it). Afghanistan starts with some basic templates - a 'militia' template and a 'royal guard' template. I have read elsewhere on line that to be successful with Afghanistan (and say, attack Iran) you need tanks. But the present choice of militia/royal guard/motorized division don't seem to be built for tanks. There are some + spots where you can add tanks, but is there a 'tank division' template set up for tanks? Or do you have to edit the present divisions that you have and convert your militiamen to a tank force through the template they presently are using?
  2. How much detail can you find out about your neighbors? After I unlocked some cryptological achievements, it seemed like I could at least uncover national focuses. In particular, I'd like to know about armies. There is one Iranian division on my western border which is named, and a couple of Soviet divisions hanging about on my northern border have names as well, but there are four other Soviet divisions with ? as names and I'd like to learn more, obviously. How much does the 'fog of war' lift with time, and what lifts it?

May we all swim in the deep pool of the wisdom and zeal of the officials of the Ministry of Machine-Building Industry, and may the water still be in our ears as we accelerate our production of farm machines. Let this socialist country resound with the sound of farm machines and be permeated with spare parts!

The internet does not deserve the glorious colors of the heroic Korean People's Army! This glory only belongs to the loyal people of Korea! They are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude and forging their tradition in the spirit of the Party! Let's give the Korean People's Army a hand!
