@mike I get a "Translate" hyperlink at the bottom of a post. Maybe the post needs to be recognised as being in a foreign language before the link can be added?

@mike Screen grab of your question in the "advanced" web interface above a post with a "Translate" link.

@mike I've always typed currency conversions like: "210 gbp in usd"

@eeen @hembrow That's an AI generated image (no cranks). President Lincoln died in 1865 before the development of the safety bicycle with chain drive in 1879 or pneumatic tyres in 1887.

@ParadeGrotesque @eeen @hembrow Also: his saddle is set too low! His knees will suffer if he rides long like that.

@todayilearned @sinabhfuil It can be 6 years before albatrosses return to land, but they land on the sea to feed.Frigate birds, on the other hand, are sea birds which never land on water, which is amazing.

@futurebird @carrideen Yes. I would say that the sentences flow, are idiomatic and easy to read, but don't say anything.

@cstross Yes. So he's never experienced multiple rounds with tit-for-tat being used against him.I suspect that he thinks The Apprentice gives him real business experience too.

@GossiTheDog He'd previously said he could cut the budget by $2 trillion…

@randahl I think you're using Trump's language when you refer to protesters in LA as rioters.

@ricci Remember when Facebook became Meta, and then Meta was all about the Metaverse? Nobody seems to speak about that anymore.

@ricci Well, it does feel like the Tom Bombadil chapters give the narrative arc a chance to put its feet up and have a nap.

@futurebird I have the new iPhone non-Pro and am very happy with it. I think the Pro is ugly.

@futurebird Brilliantly niche requirements! I think the 17 has the exact same ultra wide camera as the 17 Pro, which is the one it uses for macro. Their screens are the same, and tougher than the previous generation. The 17 doesn't take RAW photos, if that's important.

@futurebird This is what I would have suggested. Introduce the compiler, explain that you will encounter errors, but the error messages are designed to be as helpful as they can be.(If you're using Python, error messages have been worked on over the last few major releases, with teaching particularly in mind, so it's worth using the most recent.)
