Ask yourself what is the future for UK now,

I watched the Wimbledon (tennis) final. Was pleasantly surprised to see
the service speed in miles per hour. I wouldn't worry about such things,
computers very easily do the translation. Language is another subject.
But someday we will also be able to communicate through computers.
Currently, at least you can learn some foreign grammar when doing
translations.

If you must use mint on lamb you could do this:

https://www.familycircle.com/recipe/lamb-with-mint-crema-tacos/

That's a 404 here, which illustrates good judgement somewhere.


I'd prefer a firey habanero pepper sauce but cilantro and mint makes a
pretty good team

I'm not overfond of capsaicin, but I like it in small amounts.
But it would totally dominate the flavour of good well-hung lamb.

OTOH, mint is a pleasing aroma, and the vinegar cuts
through the fattiness of the best lamb.

Exactly. Round here French mint grows wild, so we pick a bunch and put
it into the food processor with rice vinegar, a bit of water, and a tiny
tiny bit of sugar.

Just the thing for roast lamb or lamb chops. (I prefer chops, because
various-people-who-shall-not-be-named think it's a good idea to put
cloves of garlic in roast lamb. Blech.)

Well, I do check the web and get two print newspapers.

What's crazy is that you show me an outrageously unbalanced "news"
article, I can pretty well assign it to a list of likely sources. The
"reporting" is that prejudiced and predictable.

Journalism, honest research and reporting of findings, is mostly dead.

I watched the Wimbledon (tennis) final. Was pleasantly surprised to see
the service speed in miles per hour.

I hardly watch TV, do record some movies every now and then, sports?
I was working in the garden today, we have tropic temperatures here.
like this
2019 07 27 04:44 t 19.6 \ rh 67.0 / t_min 16.9 at 01:56 t_max 40.5 at 17:44 rh_min LL at 12:38 rh_max 67.0 at 04:42
Stopped for a wile to drink a lot of fruit juice..
I do not see the point of looking for hours at somebody bouncing a ball...
Was never into sports, that it is good for your health is bull,
many famous footballers died young.
Better sit behind the PC OK I do some biking too.

I wouldn't worry about such things,
computers very easily do the translation.

I run Linux and have 'the units' program:
~ # units
1948 units, 71 prefixes, 28 functions

You have: 10 mph
You want: kmh
conformability error
4.4704 m / s

You have: 10 miles/hour
You want: km/hour

With some trying OK



>Language is another subject.

Yes the crazy translation to Dutch I see at aliexpress shows a lot needs to be done.
Same for Chinglish manuals for things I bought on ebay.


>But someday we will also be able to communicate through computers.

We are already commie-nukating through computers.

Currently, at least you can learn some foreign grammar when doing
translations.

Here in the Netherlands in kindergarten they started with Dutch and French in my time.
Starting young is good.
In high school German, English and French again.

Later I studied some Portuguese, started on Chinese but stopped, lost interest.
Could pick up anytime if I think it is needed

Best way to learn a language is go there, and think in that language,
There is a common thing in all those languages, sometimes I remember something I read but have no idea what language I did read it it anymore.

Things like satellite, at least here in Europe, give you thousands of channels
(no kidding the memory of my Chinese cheap sat box was full after just auto-scanning 2 sats,
but there are maybe 40 or more I can receive).
But watching those channels or listening (radio too) can help you learn the languages.
But learning basic grammar and writing is always a must and takes time.

I think maybe AI but then there would be different trained AI translators, and some would then have their own
ideas, so be like a person, and there you go.
And freaking networks governments recording and listening to everything in your house
in ANY language,.
What a world.

I could write a bot and you would find it maybe hard to know you talk to a computer
There is the old 'Eliza' or something (have it somewhere) program that would keep you busy:_)
If you fell for it, OTOH some people are like that I think.

A simple example, for a bit that could be written in a few thousand lines, is one that plays Agent Orange, the Precedent.
Nobody would know the difference,.
In fact maybe he has a chip controlled by NethanYahoo.

There are no "N.I border issues" - this is a contrivance thrown up by the
Remain brigade to block Brexit. They want it to prove an insurmountable
obstacle which is nonsense - but it's the best they could think of. :-D

We are celebrating now, because the fresh garlic crop, huge pungent

But seriously, this is the Guardian, which is hell-bent on getting Brexit
reversed at all costs. Guardian=BBC=CNN=MSNBC; they're all in the same
bracket when it comes to fake news.

Even worse than fake news: predictable news.



Predictable using hindsight, yeah. Demonstrate how you predicted this
piece of news, LOL.0603 or


"Predictable news" is like "zero-ohm resistor."


0603 or 0204? They carry them all over the place you know .

I watched - somewhat by chance - "The Loudest Voice", the series
is yet to complete. No idea how fact based it is - never watched
FOX news - but if marginally true then I can see at least part of
what strengthened the division in the US. Are they non-zero-ohm in
your opinion?

I can't say. I never watch television.

But how did you know about the other news sources you branded as
"worse than fake, predictable"?

Well, I do check the web and get two print newspapers.

What's crazy is that you show me an outrageously unbalanced "news"
article, I can pretty well assign it to a list of likely sources. The
"reporting" is that prejudiced and predictable.

Journalism, honest research and reporting of findings, is mostly dead.

I need a hot dog. PCB layout is hungry work.





Well fox news do have a website as well you know .
I also get the news on the web, what else. Mostly the BBC.
While eating in front of the tv sometimes I watch sky news.

How do you "balance" news like that? I mean it is as moronic
as it gets, unless proven false - which does not seem to be
the case - it is what it is, this person is in office and
has said all that. Good luck balancing that.

I ate more than I had to already - which did not help
soldering a 78l033 and a 78l12 - both of them, to-92 - the wrong way
around. I replaced the 78l033 after noticing it was shorted
input to output and put it back again the wrong way around, that
looking at a photo of the first board (just two of them, really
simple buffers and a stepdown on it). (The first board has worked for
over a year now, mostly at the customers).
So beware, eating can be counterproductive . I'll make tea now
and hopefully solder them the correct way around.....

Well, you know what boys do when their wife is away: eat meat over the
sink.

Actually, The Brat and I are working on a PCB layout together this
weekend, in shifts. I'm doing the basic placement and routing of
example channels, and she can replicate them. She really likes routing
BGAs and doing power pours, so I'll let her do that too.

This board is embarassing; it will be about half whitespace when it's
done. There's almost no way to make a low density board look good.
