LMGs, Kongsberg, Bleu

January 4, 2024 Lehan Edirisinghe

A military-and-style page about LMGs, Kongsberg, and Bleu.

The image is a screenshot from a YouTube video titled "How Games Get LMGs Wrong - Loadout" on the GameSpot channel. The scene takes place indoors, likely in a studio or demonstration setting. A man is seated at a wooden table, wearing protective earmuffs and safety glasses. He appears engaged in examining or discussing a light machine gun (LMG) placed on the table in front of him. The firearm is mounted on a bipod, and there is a coil of ammunition visible beneath it. The background features a simple, neutral setup with some metal framework visible. The lighting is bright and even, suggesting a controlled environment typical of a recording studio. The video seems to be focusing on the accuracy of LMGs in video games versus real life.

Comparing the M249 and M240

12:30 p.m.

The M249, or 556 LMG, is also good, we can use it for better high velocity suppressing fire. Often you get more bullets too. M240 isn't always an absolutely better gun or the best pick.

Game Mechanics, Conscription Plans and Military Weapons

12:30 p.m. (b)

We use these game mechanics, for training our own troops, especially part of conscription. I am not totally sure, because these depend on many factors, but we are actively designing our military conscription program. I think improving. I think that a 1 day conscription program, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter (3 month), 1 half (6 month), 1 year, will be the way we do it. We are also giving out HK416s (10, 14, 16 inch) and FN MAGs (m240), and the FN Minimi (m249). We give out HK417s for battle rifles, and we have a few sniper rifles. I like the McMillan Tac-50 and the M82.

The image is a screenshot of a PDF document viewed in Chrome, displaying the "Key figures 2022 – KONGSBERG" table from an annual report. The document is part of KONGSBERG's corporate investor relations materials. The table contains various financial and operational metrics for the years 2014 to 2022, including sales, performance, profitability, balance, employees, environmental impact, and owners' value.
The left sidebar lists sections like "About KONGSBERG" and "Sustainability at KONGSBERG." The main table includes columns for each year, with data such as operating revenues, earnings after tax, and market capitalisation. There are numbered notes for specific metrics, providing additional context. The document has a professional and structured layout, typical of corporate financial reports, with a clear emphasis on numerical data and performance indicators. The browser tabs and toolbars are visible at the top, indicating it's being viewed on a computer.

Getting Something to Remember Pauline

I also got something to remember Pauline

The image is a frame from the series "La Révolution." It features a woman dressed in an elaborate 18th-century style gown, predominantly light blue with white lace details. Her hairstyle is elaborate, with hair pulled back and styled high, typical of the period. She has a composed and serene expression, standing in a dimly lit hallway. The background includes dark wood paneling and framed paintings lining the walls, suggesting a setting in a grand, historical mansion. The lighting is soft, casting a warm and slightly muted tone over the scene, enhancing the historical ambiance. There is also a vase with flowers visible on a side table, adding a decorative touch to the hallway. The overall composition and costume design are consistent with the show's period setting, focusing on themes of historical drama.

The image depicts a neatly arranged shelf containing a mix of books, video games, and decorative items. On the left, a stack of video game cases is visible, including titles like "Star Wars Battlefront," "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain," "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3," "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," "Horizon Zero Dawn," and "FIFA 17." These are stacked horizontally, showcasing their spines.
Adjacent to the games, there is a whiteboard with some handwritten text partially visible. Below the games, two prominent books about Lee Kuan Yew are stacked. Slightly to the right, more books are present, such as "How to Get What You Want at Work" by John Gray and "The Body Remembers" by Babette Rothschild.
A plush toy wearing a "University of Leicester" shirt is positioned near the center, adding a playful touch. To the right, there is a statue resembling an Egyptian figure. In front of the books and decorative items, a bottle of Bleu de Chanel perfume and a rolled-up piece of paper are placed, along with a small pink container. The background includes a colorful photograph, partially obscured by the plush toy and statue, adding a personal or decorative element to the scene.

Bleu de Chanel, Pauline and a Scarf That Smells Like Her

9:30 p.m.

So, over here, this Bleu de Chanel, (Eau de Parfum, I got in England, just to wear it because of Pauline... to impress her!

Hehehe

So she hopefully wouldn't smell my guilty, filthy soul, which stinks of the many evil deeds I have committed.

I remember she was in the pantry, it was all sunny that day, and I was walking in and leaving wearing my little parfum.

Lehan blushes.

This is what Pauline smells like, for me, even though, it's a guy's perfume

I guess, it's more like, it's what reminds me of her

A Vote Lehan Teleprompter Speech About Sinhalese Voters

11:00 p.m.

I dunno, maybe, it was Thomas and Ray or something

***

Lehan's team interrupts, points at the camera


Teleprompter reads:

Those of you, who are voting Lehan, are creating history

You literally hold your future, in your hands

As you are holding the ballot paper with your left hand

And vote with your right hand

And maybe one of your fingers is colored in

Unless my assigned ballot stuffing teams

Who are the real patriots

You are creating history as the saviors of Sri Lanka

And the Sinhalese race

If you go ask the Moslems who do they vote for

Always, they'll say, "Sri Lanka Moslem (Muslim) Congress"

Always

Why?

Because they don't want you to██████████████████

Being a Regular Boy Next Door, Not a Serious Politician

Congrats and good luck!

Look I might be "a serious politician" to everyone else

But not to me

I'm actually, as you can read, I'm just a very regular, boy next door

Someone you'll bump into in the supermarket

Some kind, very cool guy

I don't care or want power or money or fame

And I truly mean that

Though, like Evita, it might seem to the world otherwise

They are illusions

They are not the solutions they promised to be.

The answer was here all along.

I love you, and hope you love me
