Post Race!

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.

And I'm glad the highlight tag still works since I'm the one that added it to the forum many, many....many years ago. :) (but that is simply a little CSS/HTML).

:bigyello:

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!

Is there like a Discord server or something or is this all through forum still?

We have enough discord, we don't need a server for it.

Now you are just telling fish tales that seem fishy.

Boooooooo

Well there was once this kettle of fish....

I tried discord once for a game of virtual D&D (beginning of COVID) and I didn't like it so much.
