Syria Thread - Iranian Backed Edition Bernd 02/22/2024 (Thu) 21:33 [Preview] No. 51681 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Previous: >>50296

Nothing much going on in Syria anymore. Bit of ISIS I see on the map, and the SAA bombarding rebels on the north east. Beside that Israel is constantly attacking into Syria, targeting Iranian backed terrorists, and Iranian backed militias, and apparently Iranian militias themselves.
In Israel, the IDF still wrestling with some Iranian backed, dirty, barefeet, stone throwing kids since October... Where Yom Kippur and Six-Day Wars disappeared? Anyway. In Gaza they bombing Iranian backed Hamas, in Lebanon the Iranian backed Hezbollah. Sometimes they have a cease fire to release hostages as the Iranian backed Qatar negotiates it.
From Yemen, the Iranian backed Houthis raiding the shipping lanes with drones and whatnot.
In Ukraine the Iranian backed RAF/RuAf is on the attack. The initiative is theirs, AFU tries holding their trenches, forts, and foxholes. I heard couple of interesting things today, but would need some drawing and look up possible sources.

I listened to the press conference they did after the session of this European Political Community Summit I was mentioned here >>52554
I post this here instead of the politics thread because Orbán and Edi Rama (the Albanian PM) said very little substantial about anything (Rama sounds like a funny guy tho, cudos), so am gonna just note what Orbán said about the war on the Ukraine, when he answered questions about it.
He said:
1. When he talks about war and peace camp, he talks about the west, not Vladimir Putin (question was: in what camp he would place Putin), and not about Russia.
2. When asked how does he imagine the peace in Ukraine (what will be the fate of Ukraine), he replied he does not talk about the peace itself, but about the road to peace, that a cease fire has to be established, and with that communication has to be started between the warring parties.
3. He pointed out that the peace on Ukraine won't be just the question of the fate of Ukraine, but it will establish a new security structure for Europe.
That's about it.

I'm fast forwarding through the Zelensky replies (it is weird he wasn't allowed(?) to do an opening statement, or at least he had no such prior to the journalist questions). Sadly he talks only in Ukrainian. He gesticulates a lot, seems like a passionate speech, and looks a bit pissed at the very end, at the closing words.
Maybe youtube has captions for at least one video.

20rh August State Foundation Day Bernd 08/20/2018 (Mon) 06:19 [Preview] No. 18586 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
A year passed and again this day commemorates the foundation of Hungary, this is 1018th birthday. We celebrate this national holiday with listening to politicians mixing irrelevant daily politics into historical events in the morning and watching fireworks in the evening. Budapesterners can witness the procession of state founder Saint Stephen's Holy Dexter. Also all the local communities have their own little celebrations.
This is the third time I make this thread, and I won't post much, maybe I'll post something about what happened today - if anything interesting - later.

23rd October, Revolution and War of Independence of 1956 Bernd 10/23/2024 (Wed) 19:00 [Preview] No.52516 del
I missed out the October 6th commemoration of the Martyrs of Arad. I wanted to take a look of other political martyrs of the era, Italy is bound to have some, and I heard something about the Fenians. But I missed the opportunity, oh well.

So I'm thinking now - in honour of our '56 Revoulution - to take a look at Czechoslovakia in 1968.
The Prague Spring
I don't know much, especially not the details, so this will more like a general inquiry into the topic on my behalf, and perhaps summary of things. See also: Wikipedia. All right maybe I'll try write something that Wikipee does not, I'm curious about Hungarian ties to it ofc.
As stated before politicians always mix daily politics with these national holidays so I don't listen their speeches.

One could think the Hungarian Revolution of '56 had great impact to the other Eastern Block countries. It is hard to measure but it seems the opposite is the truth. Officialy it was labelled as a counter-revolution and the rest of the opinions were suppressed. There were little to no samizdat activity that could give a voice, censorship ruled.
We already had some understanding with Poland, but Romania was openly hostile, Czechosolovakia ditto (with serious anti-Hungarian chauvinist overtones in both countries). Officially in the latter country as a direct reaction there was a "secret" memorandum that declared support for the leadership of Antonin Novotny, securing his position of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia which he held since 1953, then he became president in 1957, held both offices till the Prage Spring removed him.
As our Revolution gained some of the ideas from the de-Stalinization and some wind too, Novotny's reign started with that - but as a counterweight. He seems he was more of a hardliner, who put effort into halting any thawing processes, and his "socialist" constitution of 1960 was even more formally communist than the previous one they accepted in 1948. So this "destalinization" went slow with occasional pushes from more reformist elements (such as writers, or the next First Secretary, Alexander Dubcek), eroding Novotny's popularity.
I can't say how wide was the popular support, but judging by the events that followed the later Soviet/Warsaw Pact invasion it seems that sympathizers were from all over the country from all level of the society - but not in any impactful numbers. People wanted changes but did not want to risk a more serious push for them. What we should see, that the changes were the product of the rise of an internal political opposition, and were introduced upside down, no armed uprising against the communist leadership happened unlike at Hungary.
In 1968 January Dubcek and a pal cornered Novotny, and Brezhnev (probably already probing the opinions of the leaders of the satellite states) decided to green light Novotny's retirement. The issue seemed to be decided but then Dubcek and many reformists started to talk nonsense about living standards, multi-party systems, democracies, building relations with the West and such. This compelled Brezhnev to engage them and tell 'em they should slow down a bit. They agreed, but The Head and Brow of the Soviet Union was not convinced, he saw that the process will lead to losing Czechoslovakia, and ordered the tanks of the SU and allied Warsaw Pact (Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary) countries' tanks rolling. No clash happened between the two sides, almost only civilians resisted, mostly with non-violent methods.
Dubcek had to go, he was replaced by Gustav Husak. All enacted laws and reforms were reverted, except the one that made Czechoslovakia a federation of two countries. Later some of the reforms were activated again as amendments if I understood correctly.

As for Hungary.
It appears that at the same time the Czechoslovak reforms started, the Kádár regime here introduced new economical practices, trying to make the country's economy actually work. The changes put forward in the neighbour were mostly political in nature, so our leadership started to pray to Saint Lenin that they keep them very "moderate". They feared if things were getting out of hands then our economical project will be scraped, or perhaps even the thoughts of resistance will be reignited here or at least Moscow will think that's happening too.
Since their fears seemed to become true, they decided to show they are loyal subjects of Moscow, and they can march along with the Warsaw Pact, right into Czechoslovakia, when finally Brezhnev decided at the military solution. Kádár even declared that if it comes to counter-revolution in Czechoslovakia, he will vote wholeheartedly for military intervention. Well he did the same with his own country so I don't see how could he not applied the same principle elsewhere.
From his opinion we could also deduce, that the Dubcek-turn, was went far enough for him to consider it a counter-revolution. However this is not the case. He gave the opinion to Brezhnev (on the day of the invasion, on August 21), that the events in Czechoslovakia are closer to the Polish events of 1956 than to the Hungarian counter-revolution of the same year. Still, Hungarian forces were participated the same.

Supposedly later in 1988-89 when our socialist system started to collapse they considered the moral Czechoslovakian lesson and example.

These days I'm browsing videos on invidious, and use yt-dlp to get the video. But after a while I get error, apparently youtube limits the request rates, and I think their Invidious instance run out of it.
When that happens I use piped to browse. Problem is on pipe I don't see option to order videos. So the two platform has to be mixed depending on usecase, not to abuse invidious' limits...
Almost getting to the point when its just simpler to bite the bullet and suffer on the youtube.

There was one nitter instance that worked reliably. Was a short downtime when Musk got the 5 minutes and shut xtwitter in, but that's over.

Dreamt another humorous that made me laff. Extremely unusual.
It was about a movie. I watched it and/or observed it made. It was an awful movie, amateurish, low budget, with noname actors. The actors and crew was an assorted one, it turned out one of them was Hungarian. He was looked a bit like Santiago Segura (Torrente), and he was dumb. He pretended he knew his job, knew how to act. He also pretended knowing languages, or at least English.
For some reason the movie got some award and he had to give a speech in English. He read some lines with zero English pronunciation, frankly like how he would in Hungarian, and one of the word sounded like a Hungarian profanity and that tickled me enough to laugh a bit. Then he gave another speech, or perhaps it was actually an interview. They asked him something and he did not know what to reply. He was like "uh, ah" and the situation started to get embarrassing as he was hemming away. Then an associate there on the stage tried to save the salvageable and gain some time and said he is actually Muslim and he has to pray to Allah first. Here I laffed again, and shook me up to wake.

>Maybe it's easier to say it that way
It is. Hungarian language does not like consonant congestion, and would insert a vowel inbetween consonants. Second best would be adding a consonant after, which gives the impression that the word consists of two syllables.
So.

Last year I found out there's native Linux version of the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Editions. They are working well but I don't think I'll ever finish a playthrough again. Back then I finished original BG, and BG2, but not the Throne of Bhaal expansion. Damn long games.
Enhanced Edition makes it possible to play this classic DnD based crpg on modern steel, fixes bugs, changes some rules, adds new NPCs with quests, new items, two new expansions (The Black Pits - arena fight generator?, and Siege of Dragonspear - which is a module for the original story, taking part between BG1 and BG2). It seems okay all in all.

Up till recently I uses PlayOnLinux, but some years ago it's development stopped, and sometimes stuff is buggy (like installation of dll's via winetricks).
Prior to that I sued Q4wine but the development stopped around 2014 as the conflict started with Russia, because the dev is an Ukrainian and wanted to draw attention to their plight. I think since then he restarted developing it.
However.
Recently I started to use WineGUI, which seems to be the closes to the Wine project, and it's just werks.
My problem with others I found, like proton and crossover or whatnot, that either have to pay or can't use them with pirated backup copies of games.
I think all three is in the repos no additional 3rd party sources are needed to be added.

Cooking Gulyás reup Bernd 06/28/2018 (Thu) 07:17 [Preview] No. 17596 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
I saw some Mexican asking for gulyás recipe on Kohl and because I don't really want to start posting there beside the World Cup I decided to reupload the gulyás cooking as the other thread is "File not found" as well. So here's with original text.

Cooking with Bernd: gulyás

I was planning to post a good gulyás cooking since day one but somehow the occasion eluded me until now. I know a Hungarobernd did this on KC main but it was regular "cooking in the kitchen" type of thread and not "over open fire in bogrács" (traditional Hungarian pot).
I couldn't do this live for technical reasons but it will be fine this way too.

Pic #1
Ingredients: meat (little bit over half a kilo, it's pork, not beef), taters (by volume I used about the double of the meat dunno their weight), onions, tomato, paprikas, black pepper in the mill, dried ground paprika in the jar with the red lid, salt in the middle, and the white wax paper on the right covers the salo (fatback).
You can also see my Mora for cutting needs and a bearly visible peace from a wooden spoon behind the meat and the potato, the masterpiece of my carving art, used for stir the food in the bogrács.
The taters are leftovers from winter, wizened but fine for our purpose. Some of the onions and the paprikas are also leftovers I utilized.

Pic #2
The initial setup. Two quarter logs at the sides and a nest in the middle for the fire itself also aligned toward the usual main direction of the wind. The rocks are there for a little draft control. Tripod to hang the bogrács.

Pic #3
Lighted a handful of dry grass, placed in the middle of the nest, then a large handful of dry twigs above, and sticks across the log above all. As these sticks burn in the middle they broke after a while and fall into the nest. The heat from the nest lights up the inside faces of the logs. The heat is very concentrated toward the nest. The cooking is going above the nest, and it really doesn't need much flames. The smoldering logs pumping up lotsa heat, only some sticks are needed to be placed inside the nest time to times. Also when a log burns through, a new can be placed there. I had several prepared.

Picked some of mushrooms today. 4 boletes, and a bunch of lepiotas, probably macrolepiota mastoidea all. Some might be macrolepiota procera but their stipe are too slim.
Anyway no mushroom cream soup yet again. I just fried some up with onions and scrambled eggs. Salt, pepper. Tastes great.
Here's a trick for frying mushrooms. Not sure frying is the right word. So the trick:
Slice up the mushrooms, but instead of fats (oil or lard) pour a bit of water under it, and cook it with that until the mushroom is soft and the water evaporates. Then add the fats and fry them up. The reason is that the mushroom is like a sponge and can absorb a ton of the fats - and while the body do needs them, too much can be unhealthy -, so much in fact that you'll be tempted to add more. And some find it disgusting too. So just use water first.

Having butterbrot with honey (drinking milk). I rarely do this, for me it's just too sweet, but I had some hankering.
It's special - for me - because it's not the usual mix (wild) flower, linden, or locusts/robinia - which are the most common honeys here - , but rapeseed flower (Brassica napus) which became more used in recent years. Not bad.
Now I have to eat some salty to balance it back.

I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.

You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.

You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.

The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

He was indeed. I wrote a lot-ish on spartschan. I still want to post couple of thoughts about the basho here.
I could try to get this, it'll be released next month. Looks hilarious.

I think this basho wasn't that great in the sense that only a few bouts were impressive. On the other hand a handful of them were really fucking impressive.
Tamawashi vs Kinbozan. Oldboy got a big fugging slap just behind his right ear. Down. Kinbozan had a godawful tournament, but this move was brutal.
And then this henka Abi pulled on Hoshoryu.
Lastly Wakatakakage's victory over Onosato. Wkage holding himself was masterful, and turning his sure loss into an epic win.

Now that we are at Onosato. He did an outstanding job. Great march, beating both ozekis. That two losses are the student fee he has to pay. I've no doubt he'll learn.
Down in juryo Takerufuji did excellent. BUT. Previously, couple of posts above I wrote him is getting to be a personal favourite and pick him over Onosato... nah, too... cocky, with similar primadonna attitude Hoshoryu had when he wasn't yet ozeki. Onosato while he isn't particularly humble, he looked moved after his successes and the following applause, rewards. Just the human moment from this talent which makes him more likeable. Also not Isegahama boy, who are everywhere.
Anyway Takerufuji might turn out a rival of Onosato. Considering that yusho of his in makuuchi last time.

As our esteemed colleague noted >>52430 Onosato made it to ozeki.
I've read this is the fastest ever ozeki promotion, he succeeded with only 9 tournaments under his belt.
His last three bashos had the results: 12-3, 9-6, 13-2 - gathering 34 points, allowing them to promote him. Also two yushos.
Here's the promotion ceremony:

And the press conference:

Now these two eight-sevens... and the rest of the notables.
This is a problem with the current top line of rikishis, they are good. They just seem to underachieve randomly. Both ozekis barely got that kachi koshi. I have the growing doubt that Hoshoryu has it in him to make it to yakozuna. I hope both him and Kotozakura can pull it together and be as reliable ozeki as Takakeisho was for years.
Takakeisho hasn't recovered and had to sit out the tournament.
Kirishima, the other failed ozeki had a good tournament, and started another ozeki run. Question is if he can keep it up. He can bring in 11-4, 12-3 results, he proved it before, maybe he'll manage again.
Wakatakakage is returning with a bang. While he mostly faced lower ranking rikishis, that Onosato win was a banger.
Have to make note of Takayasu, who did not seem 100% healthy. He was fighting from the end of the banzuke, and 10 wins are 10 wins.
I'm sad for Hiradoumi. That komosubi ranking might be a bit high for him.

Sumo starts on Sunday!
Gonna get those Natto videos as usual. I hope they share dl-able links, if not we are in trouble.

Lets blink at that banzuke.
Makuuchi
As we noted Onosato is now ozeki! Fuck yea.
However his greatest nemesis, Takerufuji is now in makuuchi, I assume he'll try and stop him getting the yusho, which he needs 2 (or some equal-ish exceptional achievement).
I really hope the other two ozekis will produce more convincing results form the previous, and make things more interesting.
Tho I'd like to see Kirishima continuing his last performance.
Oho is at #1 maegeshira, very surprising, perhaps he is growing up to the task. Or the last one was a fluke.
COME ON HIRADOUMI!!
Wakatakakage is close back to the top, I bet he is eager to get back to the sanyaku ranks.
Takayasu is only at #9, but he was dealing with injury, I think that last 10-5 was a good score from him like that. He shares the place with Midorifuji, who did not do good.
Shishi is in!

Juryo
Hakuoho is the main rikishi to watch here I think. And then perhaps Kinbozan who is better than this level.

Previous thread: >>36217

Found fun informational. It's dated, I think from 2019 but things seems to be the same. Not sure about that Paris Climate Agreement tho.

As in last post in prev thread stated today EU Parliament voted back Ursula von der Leyen as the president of the EU Commission (EU govt. basically).
719 deputy
707 votes
401 yes
284 no
15 abstained
7 invalid votes
She's so dumb, and the dumbest statements she makes. She's also a bit dated, she was first elected in 2019. But it shows how strong the leftlib is, they stay in power as expected, despite all the bleeting in the leftlib press about far-right danger.

It appears you can say "nigger" again. Also Im laughing at the fact that Kennedy got 600k votes despite telling people not to vote for him.

Trying to get the speech of Zelensky, but Piped doesn't allow filtering and ordering and whatnot.

Wtf. Videos of the arrivals are uploaded, the opening speech of Orbán is up there, Macron talking is up, but no Zelensky. Even the fugging sky news livestream cuts away when Orbán passes the round to Zelensky. What the actual fuck?
I can find articles with a handful of quotes of his speech tho.

Found a speech of Zelensky, but not the one I wanted to listen. And I won't listen this one either he talks in Ukrainian, no translation, subtitles or anything.

Previous one is autosäging.

Wanna watch The Longest Yard, the original Burt Reynolds movie.
I only see two remakes, the Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones, and the Adam Sandler comedy from 2005. Probably the only good Adam Sandler movie. It's greatest selling point is the catchy tunes played in the background and the supporting cast. Judging by the screenshots it follows the original story quite tightly. The Mean Machine is adapted to the circumstances of a Bri'is prison and normal football. It was entertaining too.
One more remake was made, and Egyptian one: Captain Masr in 2015. Not sure if it's available anywhere, or has any English dubs or subs. Also features normal football.

I've no faith in any Alien movies after what has been done to the franchise. They should have just stop after Aliens.

Mom says I'm unique - so my favourite film of the series is "Alien 3". I know even Fincher doesn't think that - but I do. The only way it could've been better is one of the precious concepts with a wooden moon inhabited by 300 medieval monks.

As for the "Aliens" - it's your typical Hollywood slop. A studio taking some surprise hit and turning the sequel into some dumb popcorn movie for the biggest common denominator. In case of the "Alien" it was really tragic, because they turned the very concept upside down - instead of the titular alien, an embodiment of sadism and satanic evil, they went with the "guys, what if there'll be tons of these bastards?", turning them into just a pack of dumb beasts that a little girl can evade. "Event Horizon" is more "Alien 2" than "Aliens".

That's the prison one?
>"Aliens" - it's your typical Hollywood slop
Well the ending of Sopranos feel unoriginal and lame from the distance too for many.
Event Horizon is cool. But has nothing to do with Alien. They are just going crazy.

Yes. They still took a lot from the "medieval" concept.
