2 new Panda babies are born in France in Beauval Zoo
What does "val" mean in French? I know what "beau" means, but not sure on "val" or even if it means anything or if its just a made up word or someone's name.
For example, the CSA President's (Jefferson Davis) home, Beauvoir is named for the beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico. Just wondering if Beauval is something similar (preferably with a less racist past).
Val is a other name for "vallée" (valley or vale)
The previous owners had the ability to fix it, but simply chose not to.... I can't speak regarding the new owners.Quote:

Yeah, that kind of highlighting still works. I never used the other kind, so I don't miss it any.
After interrupting with my last post, I now return you to the other conversation regarding pandas, Vals, and Beaus.....
I'd like to think that val actually translates to "function that converts an object to a numeric value" so that it'd mean: beautiful function that converts an object to a numeric value
I was expecting that pun from Shaggy not you ;) you cut him the grass underfoot (french expression) I think the corresponding English expression is "the rug pulled out from under him"
Tag my goat.
I would never make that pun....I know the Val function...it's not beautiful.
This thread's still going? Goodness.
With my dying breath I will have regretted not posting more in the post race.
That's probably not what I'll be thinking about.
Same. But I am glad to have returned!Quote:

We have enough discord, we don't need a server for it.
Now you are just telling fish tales that seem fishy.Quote:

Which part?
As for the kettle of fish: It's fine.
The talking part.
Well now I'm talking. I graduated! And I'm gonna keep bragging about it until I get my damn degree 8 weeks from now. :bigyello:
Honestly they should go through Amazon Prime. One day delivery :ehh:
What will you do with it? I have a couple degrees. I think my BS is around here somewhere (most of you assume my BS is around whenever I am, but that's not always true). As for my MS...I'm really not sure whether or not I ever got any physical object, or what became of it.

Women gouge you good and proper if you been with the wrong ones ;)

And now, back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.
By telling everyone "the solutions to their programming problems is DirectX" again! :bigyello:Quote:

The forum has new owners? Does that mean I can post my off-color and somewhat less than G-rated but still side-splittingly hilarious humor without getting my posts deleted? Or is that still too much to ask?Quote:
