Mother of Dog.

My code wasn't broken, there was an unexpected and non-obvious input. It was doing exactly what it should have done.

I want the last 3 days back.

Also the rubber ducky is *fired*.

So I was wondering about the use of ‘hermanos’ for ‘siblings’, and it looks like latin languages don't have an equivalent.

And then I wondered why the english word didn't resemble the german word [that I know] - ‘geschwister’.

And then it turned out that ‘siblings’ is that rareſt of rarities: An english word that's actually english:

c1000 Ælfric Genesis xix. 12 Hæfst þu suna oððe dohtra on þisre byrig..oððe ænigne sibling?

I wonder if we should make chaffers - bots that hook up to your fb account and start having random interactions with random people - instead of closing fb accounts.

A common problem when developing chatbots is that they start to repeat whatever was just said to them, verbatim.

It's usually a parroty error.

@liw It did. And ∴ I don't trust it.
