After 12 years on the front-lines of the war on rodents, Doorkins has had a live-streamed memorial service: [^].
She was even present during a visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, who she looked at nonchalantly before falling back to sleep -- much to the Queen's amusement, Nunn told CNN. Out of respect for the passing of a worthy enemy, hundreds of mice kept their squeaks of joy sotto voce.

You may have missed the hilarity of Facebook auto-translating Grand Tetons (National Park) from French -- which no one in our hiking group had asked them to do.

Last year I was a bit curious about what one of our new customers from Finland actual did, so I found their web site by simply using the domain from their email correspondence.
I couldn't read a thing, so I sent it through Google Translate. The caption above their list of social media links (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) somehow got translated to "follow us into the shower".

Machine translation example of 40 years ago, when AI was still not as developed:
Original English Sentence: "The spirit is strong but the flesh is weak".
Machine Translated to Russian: .... (Machine translated sentence)
Machine translated Russian Sentence translated back to English: "Vodka is strong, meat is rotten".

Forget 40 years back, even Google Translate in its infancy used to translate the saying "Out of sight, out of mind" to "Invisible idiot"

Looks like they have learnt it now. I just translated this to Kannada, and it seemed OK.

A few years ago, English: "forty-two" was translated to French: "42".
I was surprised that numbers up to 41 was translated word-to-word, higher ones to numbers. Why stop there? Of course I know the significance of 42, but does really the automatic translation mechanism know it?

That is slightly -- only slightly -- better than "invisible and insane"!🤣

Kind of a cagey question ain't it?
Oh wait they took the cage off the box because it was cruel or some stupid sh*t.

They're called "animal crackers" - not circus crackers or zoo cracker. They're not even called lab-specimens for experimental torture purposes.
So - at least to my knowledge - animals don't actually come ready-made with cages built around them, at least as a general rule. Lately, at least here in the USA's northeast, they don't have them in most zoos, either. Circus', being boring as sh*t in the context of the current world, are all but gone.
In fact - the sensible place where bars and beasts are most likely to be found are referred to as "prisons".

You people and your propensity to call cookies "biscuits".

A "few years ago" I had heard that HTML5 will revolutionize ... etc.
I figured I'd better learn it, but never got motivated enough, or studied enough to decide if it was worth it. Frankly, I'm pretty happy with what I can do with XAML or UWP/WPF in general.
Anybody else achieve HTML5 mastery?
