Oh no..... it was just a relaxed moment.

(bread rises from dough)

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yes, you set up a pretty obvious pun. I'm not one to pass up such an opportunity. In fact, there were several possible replies that I considered. I liked that particular pun the best, though.

Oh no..... it was just a relaxed moment.

What would I be???

It was just a half-baked joke.

We knead to hear more of these jokes. It's the yeast you can do.

twinBASIC status update:

twinBASIC update June 12, 2022

Highlights include ActiveX control support on twinBASIC forms and a discussion about the (accidental?) interface constructor language feature.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Mine was just a rye comment, I didn't expect bread puns to flour.

[yereverluvinuncleber]

Please stop these bread jokes, they are offensive to me. My father was electrocuted in a bakery.

He trod on a bun and a currant shot up his leg.

[VB6 Programming]

Oh dough. That must have been hair raisin, a loaf changing experience. I guess you're not bready for these kneading-edge puns yet.

[vbrad]

I'm getting a cob on from these crusty jokes. Turnover it.

[VB6 Programming]

Bread puns never grow mould.

[yereverluvinuncleber]

Come on... use your loaf, please stop.

[vbrad]

Put it to bread now lads and get brack to work

[VB6 Programming]

I'm on a roll

[VB6 Programming]

These bread puns will soon all be toast.

[Episcopal]

Well then, I realize that they are putting a lot of yeast, there is a book that says to be careful with the yeast, because it can take all the dough.

Edit: Forget what I wrote...

[VB6 Programming]

Bread puns happen when you yeast expect them.

[Episcopal]

puns????

The translator googles me plus I don't understand the right words for what they really mean when used figuratively... be more explicit

[VB6 Programming]

A 'pun' is a joke where a word can have more than one meaning, or where a word sounds (a bit) like a different word.

'Yeast' is what makes bread rise (you may call it levedura or fermento?).
And it sounds like 'least'.

So "Bread puns happen when you yeast expect them" is a jokey way of saying "Bread jokes happen when you least expect them"

Or "These bread puns will soon all be toast." Toast is bread that is has been grilled, often when it is getting old (you may call it torrada or brindar?), but it also means (in slang) 'doomed' or 'in trouble'. So it means "These bread jokes will soon all be doomed".

And "Are you just trying to get a rise out of him?" plays on two meanings of the word 'rise' - it can mean to get an angry reaction out of someone, but it also means dough 'rising' to twice its size.

'half-baked', 'knead' (need), 'rye' (wry), 'flour' (flower), 'loaf', 'roll' and other words are baking terms that can have other meanings or sound like other words.

I never meant to offend.... I just made the joke because the process was going too fast. I did not mean to offend.

Perhaps the translations by Google or difference in custom or culture, can generate a malaise.

[Episcopal]

There are places around here that people don't call each other sir or ma'am. Just call friend. I've noticed that around here on the forum that calling another friend seems to bring inconvenience ... as I said, they are variations of custom or culture.

You didn't offend anybody. I think everybody is impressed with the speed and responsiveness with which Wayne is advancing this project.

You did nothing wrong at all. You certainly didn't offend anybody.

What you did with your joke was give us the opportunity to post more jokes (or more accurately 'puns' - which admittedly aren't always easy to understand, specially if you are using Google translate).

How long should I leave BREADA 53 to rise before installing it?

The heat of emotion and the amount of labour here from Wayne, it's becoming toasty.

While I don't have time to carefully test the latest version of twinBasic right now, I look at this thread every day for updates. I've gotten into the habit of checking out the Other-Basic subforum, all because of twinBasic. Thank you, WaynePhillipsEA.

Creating a Standard (non-ActiveX) DLL with twinBASIC

Mike Wolfe has an article showing how to create a standard DLL using twinBASIC.

With twinBASIC, you no longer need C++ to build a standard DLL. Call high-performance code from VBA without needing the Windows registry.

Back in the day this is something I wanted badly in VB6. However, in hindsight it was a very good thing for me that VB6 didn't have it because if it did, I'd have never dared to learn C/C++. Then I would have never believed in myself enough to know that I could learn other languages besides BASIC. I grew up in BASIC, started when I was like 8 to 10 years old and before I ever wrote my first piece of C code, I was incapable of conceiving that I had the smarts to learn anything else. Non-BASIC languages scared me for the longest time until I wrote C code for the first time. Today I've familiarized myself with many languages including C, C++, C#, Python, Assembly, JavaScript, HTML, CSS etc. I'm far from being an expert in any of these but I'm no longer afraid of them and it all started with my first adventure into C.

Anyways, this feature is long overdue. The ability to create standard DLLs is something Visual Basic should have had a long time ago. It's a very good thing TwinBASIC has it because even in 2022 we still mostly have to rely on C to do this. It is nice to have another language that could do it.

[VB6 Programming]

Back in the day this is something I wanted badly in VB6.

Yes, that's the main reason I learned C++, to fill in the gaps VB6 couldn't handle.
But it has been a few years since I did anything seriously with C++, I guess we did find ways of doing more with VB6.
Most of what I do now is in VB6 or JavaScript (plus HTML, CSS, SQL, etc.)

I'm down to my last VB.Net application now, and need to look at re-writing this as an Android app. It would be good to use twinBASIC for this but it doesn't look as though the timescales will fit - I don't expect an Android version of twinBASIC before this time next year. I'll probably have to look for an alternative approach.
