Cow

So, I've been trying to customize my military and, since one of the airplane pictures is of the MiGs from Top Gun, I wanted to name the leader of my airforce Val "Icecow" Kilmer; however, whenever I try to update it, the name gets cut off the only "Val". I realize this is a small issue but it's his nickname, darnit, not his middle name.

I'll start the bidding at $10,000 for naming rights to your first city, not eighth. I want it to be visible, not hidden beneath the "Show more/less" option

Personally, I'm insulted. I give great mouth-to-mouth... though it can get a little bit slimy.

And to think I almost joined her food cult... I mean food consortium. On that note, you should all join Fraggle's food cult consortium. You don't even have to know what it really is, you should just join.

EU3 and CK2. If I had a better computer, I'd probably have put many more hours into CK2, but EU3 was my first paradox game (and also the one where I got to play multiplayer with Johan (one of the developers)

Indeed, Sheepy has truly forsaken you. Maybe it's time to find another even-toed ungulate to worship. But where could we find this animal?

Wasn't this the plot to an episode of Babylon 5?

Ah yes, the perfectly reasonable, 100% correct pictorial chart that definitely isn't misleading at all. Let's parse this a bit, based exactly on the report it's being cited from: http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-full-report.pdf So, firstly,I have no idea how they came up with the 85.8% of Muslims believe that. Averaging the numbers across all the regions comes up with around 76.2%. Next is an interesting fact brought up in the paper: "Even in Central Asia, a region characterized by relatively low levels of religious observance and strong support for a woman’s right to decide whether to wear a veil, seven-in-ten Muslims agree that a wife should carry out her husband’s wishes" So, this would seem to indicate that, rather than a function of being about Islam, this might have to do with lesser developed areas where Woman's rights have not progressed to where they are in the Western world. In Southern and Eastern Europe, for example, about 40% believe that must not always obey their husband. I'd be interested in seeing these same questions asked to Christians in these parts of the world to gauge their responses because I'm willing to bet that they'd be similar. OOOoo, so very scary. 68% of Muslims worldwide (except this isn't worldwide because it's not taking into a large portions of Europe or any of the Americas) believe that Sharia law should be the law of the land. It's true, factually, but the biggest caveat is that a majority of Muslims, as stated in the paper, also believe that Sharia law should only be applied to Muslims. In addition, in countries that do not already have Islam entrenched in their government, demands for Sharia law fall to lower than 33% indicating that the belief that Sharia law should rule seems to be highly dependent on how these people are already living. The last two are just categorically wrong based on the numbers. If I'm calculating correctly, they're using the numbers posted in the report to derive percentages and then applying those numbers to the total Muslim population; however, the actual sample of both questions is culled from people who believe Sharia Law should be the law of the nation. In addition, 16 countries out of the total of 36 did not have enough of a sample size to adequately analyze. So, we've managed to cull out many of the more moderately Islamic populations in favor of the more radical ones. So, Thalmor, maybe you should actually read the report your infographics are based on. There is a lot of information in there that just doesn't translate well to one single picture. So are you implying that Christianity and the Westboro Baptist Church are two sides of the same coin? The Weather Underground and Atheism? Judaism and terrorist settlers?

I think the small alliance flag by the "Alliance" in the basic information looks very cool but I'm not as big a fan of the aesthetic of the nation flag and alliance flag being right beside each other. But, if people are really interested in this, having an option to turn it off as described in the original post would be great.

Blue! No, yell-aahhhhhhh!

As the title says, I believe that the alliance affiliation of the nation you are declaring on should be included in the target information page. Just a little more information that can be useful and accessed easily rather than having to go back and actually look at the nation page.

What. The Hell. Is THIS?

Here's my suggestion: reconsider your feelings about community college. There is absolutely nothing wrong with knocking out a lot of prerequisite courses for a lot cheaper and then transferring into a 4-year college (you just have to make sure all your credits transfer which, since you are starting so early, would be easy to verify for whatever program you want to get into). As for foreign schools, I couldn't recommend more strongly against it, especially since you aren't fluent in the language. College is hard and it will be significantly harder if you can not understand everything your professor is saying (hell, even in US colleges it can be hard to understand professors and I can only begin to fathom how hard it would be to understand Portuguese spoken with a strong French accent). In addition, you'll experience the massiveness of culture shock, along with all the issues that come along with being a freshman. So, once again, you should reconsider community college. In my honors introductory course (in my major), two students had completed most of their prereqs at a community college and I was jealous because of how much money they saved for what is essentially the same courses (because at those low levels, they are, essentially, the same courses). Hope this helps.

Our BB score was already too high. Don't want to start a fight with the BBB, god forbid.

It's pronounced Frankensteen.

More opportunity for cow puns? Count me amoosed!

This video just feels appropriate:

The Al-Cowdan military will be sending welcome back presents. Collateral damage is expected.

I've been warning everyone for so long but no one has believed me. They are a menace to society and must be stopped! It can be ascertained that someone with goat-leaning sympathies runs the editorial department of the Brighton Argus.

Or ?
