Borat Sagdiyev Puns

He is super confused, as he thought he'd made those characters up, when they all show up on set while he's doing a live interview with an American talk show host of your choice.

NEW CIV FOR CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF CIV PLAYERS FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN

Civ Ability: KAZAKHSTAN GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD All Kazakh cities generate -15% Science, but +20% Culture. Industrial Zones and City Centers provide a major adjacency bonus to Theater Squares.

Unique Infrastructure: Potassium Factory Replaces the regular Factory, and provides an additional +2 Production when powered. Foreign trade routes that end in a Kazakh city with a Potassium Factory provide +2 Amenities to the starting city and +6 Gold to the destination city.

Unique Unit: Guard Bear Replaces the Skirmisher, and is available at the Stirrups technology. Has no Ranged attack, but can attack in melee and has 40 Combat Strength. Adjacent enemy units have -5 Combat Strength.

Leader Ability: Wa Wa Wee Wa Theater Squares provide Faith equal to their Culture adjacency bonus. Kazakh cities are immune to religious pressure and religious conversions from any civ whose religion is Judaism. Gain the Wandering Reporter unit at Mass Media.

Leader Unique Unit: Wandering Reporter Unique civilian unit that can only be purchased with Faith. Can enter others civs' territory without open borders. When a Wandering Reporter enters a specialty district belonging to another civ, it can perform an action called "Report for Making of Documentary Movie Film"; this action provides a flat amount of Culture and Science that increases with each building present in the district. Wandering Reporters cannot be killed by other civs' units, but have a chance to disappear after each Report they make (similar to Rock Bands).

Agenda: M'Wife Borat will aggressively pursue marriage with all female leaders and some random male leaders. Likes civs and leaders that view him favorably; dislikes civs and leaders that denounce him.

Borat wants to visit the USA, but thanks to Yukari's meddling, he instead ends up in Gensokyo and has to make due...

Rules/Conditions:

• Borat needs to film enough content to make a documentary that's at least 60 minutes long
• Borat is in character
• Assume there's an automatic translator going on: Borat and Azamat hears everyone speaking English, and everyone hears them speaking Japanese
• It's recommended Borat explores as much as Gensokyo as possible. He also has to witness and try to record at least one danmaku fight.
  • Borat can't start one or participate/interfere in an ongoing one; he just has to watch it and try to record some footage. He can't learn spell cards either.

Rounds

• R1: Borat goes into Gensokyo blind. He has no background knowledge of Gensokyo. He firmly believes he is in the USA and acts as such.
• R2: Borat receives barebones info about Gensokyo (it's culture, the yokai population, the hakurei shrine being one possible way out, etc).

All claimed feats from the movies are canon. Who wins in a 1v1 fight?

Bonus: Borat gets Tutar as an ally and Bruno gets Lutz

One of the most well known American journalists vs a Kazakhstani journalist who’s very well known in America.

I’d say Lloyd should play Bob but for Borat? I wouldn’t be surprised if they got Sacha Baron Cohan for the rap. They’ve gotten celebrities like Weird Al, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, etc. Not to mention Sacha appeared in a David Dobrik video, so it’s not TOO out of the question. If they can’t get him tho, Zach would be perfect

What do you guys think? Should Borat go up against a different reporter?

They're all comedy actors who do "talk shows" that became famous in the 2000s/2010s for their controversy and, well..... idiocy.

TLDR: inflated $FRHC ticker plus Kazakh government collapse = buy puts

G’day guys and gals. I’m proud to announce that finally have something to contribute to this beautiful community.

Preface: I am new to securities, stocks, currencies, and everything else, and therefore no one should listen to me or anything I say. However, I am interested in central Asian and Eastern European affairs and investments (looking at you, $VEON). Anyway, looking into the news lately, things have gotten a little spicy in the home of beloved television journalist, Borat Margaret Sagdiyev: the glorious #1 exporter of Potassium, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.

Part One: What’s Going On With Kazakhstan?

For those of you who don’t know, Kazakhstan is currently being soft invaded by a Russian-led coalition of former Soviet states in order to quell politically motivated violence and kill a possible coup against the long running Russian backed autocracy that has run Kazakhstan since the collapse of the Soviet Union. So far police, soldiers and civilians have been killed in Almaty, the country’s capital and largest city. Internet has been suspended. Government buildings have been set aflame, or occupied, and even the international airport has been looted.

From this article I pulled randomly off the internet, called “Kazakhstan is in chaos. Here’s why the West should be watching.”

“Kazakhstan has been a largely stable autocracy since the collapse of the Soviet Union; protests of this scale haven’t been seen since the 1980s. Kazakhstan is, however, surprisingly important to the economies of states in Europe and—to a lesser extent—Asia, as that political stability has enabled it to become a major exporter of oil, natural gas, and coal. Kazakhstan is also an important energy transit country for its neighboring resource-rich Central Asian states. The protests have already reached workers at the Tengiz oil field, though production has not yet been affected. If these protests become significant enough to disrupt energy production or transit, they could have knock-on economic effects disproportionate to Kazakhstan’s political importance.”

What I am getting from all this is:

1. Kazakhstan is a longtime stable country with a relatively strong economy (thanks autocracy) that plays into the larger workings of Europe and Asia. Ergo foreign and domestic cash may has seen Kazakh investments as a safeish bet.

2. With the recent upheavals going on, no one knows where the dice will land. Old money is scared

My name Borat Sagdiyev, I have age of 536 moons and length 19.3 centimeters. I from town of Kuzcek and am #4 journalist in all of Kazakhstan. Prior to this I train for two year for job sticking labels on apples, but week before I was due to commence employ my country apple tree fell over so I retrain 8 month and become ice maker. I was fire from this job after being false accused by my asshole neighbor Nursultan Tulyakbay of stealing this treasure and eating at workplace. I subsequent became traffic light operator – I would paint the discs red for cart stop then green for cart go – I then brief do computer maintenance removing dead birds from its pipes, then I become journalist.

Your questions give me great pleasure. I must now go make liquid release. Chenquieh.

A while back I made a post that catalogued various interesting custom character ideas, both of my own creation and suggested by others, which can be found here. The idea of this is the same, I’ll post some ideas for custom characters of my own, along with taking suggestions from you wonderful people for others. Post them in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

Bonaparte/Habsburg (depending on preference) - You’ve read from your families chronicles of a failed invasion of a land to the west called “Mexico”. Well, you being unable to inherit your families throne due to gender/scandal/youngest of twelve siblings/what have you, you gathered an army of men, spent a fortune on sailors to get you to the New World, and sailed off. You managed to land a foothold in Mexico, and find it divided and ripe for conquest.

Johnny of house Reb: You are a duke in the HCC and proud of it. You don’t like how the emperors pretends to the legacy of America. The way you see it, America was rotten nation, and the South should go it’s own way, emulating the old Americanist legends of Davis and Lee, only this time they are the heroes instead of the villains.

• u/bountifalauto82

Borat of house Sagdiyev: You were exiled from Kazakhstan and forced out of your home in the steppes. Hearing good things about America, you gathered up a host of other Kazakh exiles and hired a crew to sail you to American. Have fun making the traits for this one.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped on the previous thread I posted here a couple of days ago.

I've now managed to resolve the hotspot issues (previously hitting 108°, now maxing at 78°) and bring the GPU core temps down even further (from 52° to 48°).

The way I did this was by discarding the coil-spring screws that came with the waterblock (as suggested on some other forums by people having the same issue with a variety of other 6900 XT waterblocks), and using the ones from the stock cooler (literally worked first time after close to 20 remounts with the provided screws).

This took me to the point of it working (temps mentioned above), but I still wasn't happy (particularly with my hotspot temps) given I'm running a 480mm rad in push/pull for only the GPU in a close to open case.

Remembering how many mounting pressure issues both the Radeon VII and 5700 XT had, I decided to add in some additional plastic washers I had laying around (metal atop plastic ones would have been too risky due to 1 of the 5 mounting holes being pretty close to some raised hardware on my card).

In the words of Borat Sagdiyev, "Great success!"

Anyway. Hope this post helps someone struggling in the future as I was recently. For reference, my card is the Red Devil 6900 XT, and my waterblock is the Bykski one specifically made for this card. However, I understand this issue can occur on any of the reference/close to reference designs, with anything from EKWB, Barrow to Bykski too. So, definitely worth giving this fix a go if you're having this issue.

Oh, and all results mentioned were done so with a 30° ambient and a synthetic 450W load, so actual gaming temps are a decent amount lower than this too. All in all, I'm now really happy with my first attempt at doing a waterblock/loop!

The finals of Film Fathers Survivor was an attempt to find your favorite father in a film, with a little bit of controversy (like always); this is the definitive list of the Best to Worst of Film Fathers...

By a 5 to 2 vote, congrats to...

#Mufasa!!!

Mufasa from "The Lion King", the king of Pride Rock who raised the future king with great core values, will Enter the /r/FilmSurvivor Hall of Fame, even though the film itself is already in it. He beats out Marlin from "Finding Nemo" to also be crowned King of the Film Fathers. I also just realized how close we were to James Earl Jones vs. James Earl Jones in the finals as well!

Marlin from "Finding Nemo", the father who traversed an ocean to find his missing son, is one tiebreaker short from getting this film into the /r/FilmSurvivor Hall of Fame. But another attempt may be on the near horizon with the next few Survivors I have planned.

And lastly, Here's a (kinda changed) quote from "Finding Nemo" for those who are disappointed in the result...
