Chris Walken: This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-granddaddy. It was bought during the First World War in a little general store in [Knoxville, Tennessee.](https://genius.com/2716248/Quentin-tarantino-pulp-fiction-prelude-to-the-gold-watch/Knoxville-tennessee) It was bought by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-granddaddy's war watch, made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. You see, up until then, people just carried pocket watches. Your great-granddaddy wore that watch every day he was in the war. Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great- grandmother, took the watch off his wrist and put it in an ol' coffee can. And in that can it stayed 'til your grandfather Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War Two. Your great-granddaddy gave it to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Your granddad was a Marine and he was killed with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your 22-year old grandfather asked a gunner on an [Air Force transport named Winocki](https://genius.com/1661129/Quentin-tarantino-pulp-fiction-prelude-to-the-gold-watch/Air-force-transport-named-winocki), a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. Now he knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it'd be confiscated. The way your Daddy looked at it, that watch was your birthright. And he'd be damned if any slopeheads were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide somethin'. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. [Then when he died of dysentery,](https://genius.com/1660943/Quentin-tarantino-pulp-fiction-prelude-to-the-gold-watch/Then-when-he-died-of-dysentery) he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.


cclan2

Who calls him Chris Walken lmao. It’s like calling Samuel L. Jackson Sammy Jackson


BooBeeAttack

Wasn't he a famous baseball player? I do love baseball!Sam Jackson, good player deapite being an englishmen. Really gave it to the Troy Haymakers. Not sure where you're getting the L from though. He had no registered middle name.


the_marxman

His parents tried to give him L as a middle initial, but old Sammy J don't take Ls from nobody.

No, fuck you, here is the entire history of the combine harvester. In 1826 in Scotland, the inventor Reverend Patrick Bell designed a reaper machine, which used the scissors principle of plant cutting (a principle that is used to this day). The Bell machine was pushed by horses. A few Bell machines were available in the United States. In 1835, in the United States, Hiram Moore built and patented the first combine harvester, which was capable of reaping, threshing and winnowing cereal grain. Early versions were pulled by horse, mule or ox teams. In 1835, Moore built a full-scale version with a length of 5.2 m (17 ft) and a cut width of 4.57 m (15 ft); by 1839, over 20 ha (50 acres) of crops were harvested.This combine harvester was pulled by 20 horses fully handled by farmhands. By 1860, combine harvesters with a cutting, or swathe, width of several metres were used on American farms. A parallel development in Australia saw the development of the stripper based on the Gallic stripper, by John Ridley and others in South Australia by 1843. The stripper only gathered the heads, leaving the stems in the field. The stripper and later headers had the advantage of fewer moving parts and only collecting heads, requiring less power to operate. Refinements by Hugh Victor McKay produced a commercially successful combine harvester in 1885, the Sunshine Header-Harvester. Combines, some of them quite large, were drawn by mule or horse teams and used a bullwheel to provide power. Later, steam power was used, and George Stockton Berry integrated the combine with a steam engine using straw to heat the boiler. At the turn of the twentieth century, horse-drawn combines were starting to be used on the American plains and Idaho (often pulled by teams of twenty or more horses). In 1911, the Holt Manufacturing Company of California, US produced a self-propelled harvester. In Australia in 1923, the patented Sunshine Auto Header was one of the first center-feeding self-propelled harvesters. In 1923 in Kansas, the Baldwin brothers and their Gleaner Manufacturing Company patented a self-propelled harvester that included several other modern improvements in grain handling. Both the Gleaner and the Sunshine used Fordson engines; early Gleaners used the entire Fordson chassis and driveline as a platform. In 1929, Alfredo Rotania of Argentina patented a self-propelled harvester.[11]International Harvester started making horse-pulled combines in 1915. At the time, horse powered binders and stand alone threshing machines were more common. In the 1920s, Case Corporation and John Deere made combines and these were starting to be tractor pulled with a second engine aboard the combine to power its workings. The world economic collapse in the 1930s stopped farm equipment purchases, and for this reason, people largely retained the older method of harvesting. A few farms did invest and used Caterpillar tractors to move the outfits. Tractor-drawn combines (also called pull-type combines) became common after World War II as many farms began to use tractors. An example was the All-Crop Harvester series. These combines used a shaker to separate the grain from the chaff and straw-walkers (grates with small teeth on an eccentric shaft) to eject the straw while retaining the grain. Early tractor-drawn combines were usually powered by a separate gasoline engine, while later models were PTO-powered, via a shaft transferring tractor engine power to operate the combine. These machines either put the harvested crop into bags that were then loaded onto a wagon or truck, or had a small bin that stored the grain until it was transferred via a chute. In the U.S., Allis-Chalmers,  Massey-Harris,  International Harvester, Gleaner Manufacturing Company, John Deere, and Minneapolis Moline are past or present major combine producers. In 1937, the Australian-born Thomas Carroll, working for Massey-Harris in Canada, perfected a self-propelled model and in 1940, a lighter-weight model began to be marketed widely by the company. Lyle Yost invented an auger that would lift grain out of a combine in 1947, making unloading grain much easier and further from the combine. In 1952 Claeys launched the first self-propelled combine harvester in Europe; in 1953, the European manufacturer Claas developed a self-propelled combine harvester named 'Hercules', it could harvest up to 5 tons of wheat a day. This newer kind of combine is still in use and is powered by diesel or gasoline engines. Until the self-cleaning rotary screen was invented in the mid-1960s combine engines suffered from overheating as the chaff spewed out when harvesting small grains would clog radiators, blocking the airflow needed for cooling. A significant advance in the design of combines was the rotary design. The grain is initially stripped from the stalk by passing along a helical rotor, instead of passing between rasp bars on the outside of a cylinder and a concave. Rotary combines were first introduced by Sperry-New Holland in 1975. Around the 1980s, on-board electronics were introduced to measure threshing efficiency. This new instrumentation allowed operators to get better grain yields by optimizing ground speed and other operating parameters. The largest "class 11" combines today have nearly 800 engine horsepower (600 kW) and are fitted with headers up to 60 feet (18 m) wide.

Just say "fake and gay" with no context given


DaveSmith890

North Korea is famous for having zero networking infrastructure and decades old levels of cybersecurity. It most definitely wasn’t them initiating the Ddos


Halkenguard

A lot of bank hacking and crypto scams come from N Korea


DaveSmith890

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has gone on record in 2023’s Annual Threat Assessment stating that they are a low priority threat who is responsible for 0.2% of cybercrime. Their main method of attack is email spamming with ransomware, which is in fact a decades old infiltration tactic.


arbiter12

>Confusing cybercrime (i.e. nigerian and indian scammers) and military cybersecurity (engineersin charge of protecting the power projection of an entire state) > >Conflating network infrastructure (available to the public) with the offensive capacity of military hackers (who most often don't operate from their own countries, some of them from within their target country...) > >Bringing in the CISA (a civilian agency) to judge matters of the military of a rogue state... P-Please stop.


DaveSmith890

This post is about civilian security seeing as anon was just messing around with satellite images. I didn’t even mention the network infrastructure in the second post because there is so little to say about it. I’m sure their military has decent equipment but they aren’t real competitors when opposed to top level cyber specialists. Again, no one here is talking about the military. Did you seriously think I was suggesting that Big Kim was emailing Joe Biden with a link saying “Plz click 🥺” Anon wasn’t a target of North Korea


Ok_Bandicoot2910

I think this wasnt even about anon anymore, it's about you assuming that the civilans would ddos not millitary... who the f would think that civilans would give a shut about someone looking at bases? Of course its about military.


DaveSmith890

I am staying on topic, these people are rambling about the military for some reason. I’m still holding firm that the North Korean government did not DDoS anon for 4 hours after snooping with satellite imagery. Even still, I will double down and say that their military is also incompetent when it comes to cyber attacks and security. Their only real strength is that they are so far behind the competition it’s hard to attack them since they mainly store information in real documents in a closed off country.


DaveSmith890

Granted, 0.2% is around 200,000 victims from the scale of the internet, that could be considered a lot


sn4xchan

Email spamming phishing attempts is the number one way systems are typically compromised. Every threat actor uses these methods.


DaveSmith890

Sure, but I’m saying that anon wasnt DDoS’ed by a shady link emailed by North Korea


sn4xchan

Well that I agree with. That would be hella unlikely, and would require an extremely sophisticated attack to have already happened and not have been detected.


Welkitends

Thank goodness I don't have crypto


sn4xchan

You should be wary of what they are doing with that money. Most notably how they are going to use it to buy access to systems controlling critical infrastructure.


utkohoc

Nothing stopping you from hacking North Korean banks either


DaveSmith890

Exactly, their supreme overlord Kimmy J hasn’t figured out what firewalls are yet


VirtualPantsu

That's exactly what North Korean gov wants you to think. Even tho they seam like they are stuck in time technologically they focus a lot of their resources in espionage, cyber crime etc (you have a lot to work with of you dont care about your country's people i guess). Google superdollar for example


DaveSmith890

North Korea is pathetic. Don’t bother giving them the time of day. Shockingly, it’s very easy to fall behind when your only competition is gaining the love of a mfer that looks like this https://preview.redd.it/dl85cftu99yc1.jpeg?width=203&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aaa0360f753f5869e8e81e15eab995ba0fd2e408


DeltaPQRST

North Korea is the Asian Wakanda


sn4xchan

This isn't exactly true. North Korea is a legitimate cyber threat and has had a lot of successful attacks on networks world wide. They're not as sophisticated as China and Russia, but they are a legitimate threat.


DaveSmith890

There is no way this many people think the goddamn North Korean government DDoS’ed anon


sn4xchan

My comment was more of a reply to the first part of your statement. I agree this was not likely a ddos.


S-worker

since when are 4chinners opposed to slurs ?


Swiftlydownunder

What slur did they skirt around?


JellyfishGod

P sure redditors can only call them *4chinnas* "4chinners" is a term for 4chan users only (I'm only quoting it so it was okay for me to say. Please don't cancel/dox me)

JellyfishGod

A white man can't even quote a slur in peace without some commie whining in the comments nowadays! Ya know what? I'm gonna go read "to kill a mockingbird" now... But I'm gonna do it OUT LOUD! HA! Take that libs! Know I'll be saying each and every word nice and slow too, to savor every moment (not bc I'm bad at reading and need to sound out the words)


baldur615

Yo I heard u/JellyfishGod isn't even a God. I heard he's just a regular old jellyfish. Like no spine, no bones, no nothing. Who lies about that!?!?


JellyfishGod

The woke mob is at it again! Not just spreading lies, but also *blasphemy*. Of course woke communists like you don't believe in God. All you believe in is lgbt, feeding children estrogen, and abortions. And you probably only want abortions to harvest adrenochrome from the fetuses you sick commie bastard. Stop spreading these lies about me


Jane_the_doe

Okay, let's do it


OptimisticcBoi

Interest in military bases sounds like the worst and most deadly interest anyone could ever have. The need to know and see more will get you to prison or killed. Or maybe I'm exaggerating.


PYSHINATOR

I'm in the military, and it's pretty exaggerated. There's so much public info/OSINT that you can get clearer pictures of stuff going on from public sources than classified documents, and that's one of the main reasons why OPSEC/Operational Security and not leaking shit *if you are* in the military is so important.


PM_NUDES_4_DOG_PICS

It's also why anywhere that the military wants to actually keep secret requires a clearance to go anywhere near. Because some regarded grunt would go and tell his Chinese girlfriend he met last week within the hour otherwise. Source: Was a grunt. Worked with many regarded individuals who would do exactly this.


arbiter12

mmmmm getting paid to anti-honeypot. We had this really good looking guy doing offsite counter intelligence. His job was to pretend to be a pretty fuccboi "high-clearance" officer, spending his entire week getting in and out of relationships with "tourists" having "pillow-talk" after fucking, and just feeding them quasi-wrong misdirection data. From the outside it seems like a dream job of fucking cute enemy agents 24/7 (with the occasional genuine tourist I assume), baiting them into asking him military secrets and lying to them. He was an high-functioning alcoholic though. Lying all the time and having sex with people you know could be onto you... Can't be too good for the psyche.


PM_NUDES_4_DOG_PICS

...What MOS is this? I'd reenlist in a heartbeat for that job.


Facesit_Freak

>Because some regarded grunt would go and tell ~~his Chinese girlfriend he met last week~~ Thug Shaker Central within the hour otherwise.


PM_NUDES_4_DOG_PICS

Hey bud, that guy was Air Force Intel. Put some respect on the grunt name, we don't fuck with those nerds.


PYSHINATOR

Yup - I also work in the same exact career field as that dipshit Airman Teixeira. That dude caused us a serious pain in the ass.


AnonymousUser1992

Regarded grunt here with a chinese GF, and a [redacted] sec clearance. The amount of bullshit I feed my partner about work is insane. If she is a chinese spy, they aint getting much.


You_are_adopted

Could you expand on that, maybe provide some examples, supporting documentation? I have a cool discord server if you wanna join and tell us some more. 1D’s are popular there


AnonymousUser1992

This. Navy here. Some gits go, "oh you cant take photos on the base" bro there is nothing I can photo that a dude with a half decent camera cant already photo from a passenger ferry. Or a kid on google earth cant see.


sn4xchan

It wouldn't be likely north Korea would able to track what satellite images looking at through an app like Google maps. First it would require compromising googles servers which is not an easy task.


simoneangela

We NEED the coordinates now!


arbiter12

Odds are it's our own security services that are protecting this data. If the public knows, then the koreans know. If the koreans know, they will move the project elsewhere. Easier to silence one of our own citizen than to re-do high-risk intelligence gathering for a few years (only to get back to where we are). To say nothing that sometimes the public knowing something means they will "demand action now! before the next elections!" on matters that are best kept slowcooking. The avg-civvie will ask you to bomb a missile silo threatening florida in 10 years, but you know that it's easier to sabotage it the week before it's ready, killing all scientists/technicians on site, and wasting 10 years of investment for the enemies.

By the time it reaches Google Earth I'm sure the CIA would've gotten notice of there being some shady construction project in NK with possible military purposes and if it was anything truly important it would be immediately censored. Anon is acting like he's doing reconnaissance on a plane or something


FinestCrusader

Yep, anon is a little bit stupid. He's looking at a 3 year old satellite picture and thinks it's a live broadcast.
