I’m exhausted and clearly ineffective tonight… and Fred (thank you, Fred!) has the key stories covered for Israel.
I’ll pick up again tomorrow.

What would we lose? Nothing

Are we purging the -scourge- now?

Noted, with thanks.

The story on delegations leaving Istanbul is set for Sunday.

Kth. :-)

Yes, It is not time sensitive

Definitely time for a bit of supervised exercises, Fred. My mother was an OT, so I have a soft spot for both of them, pitiless darlings that they all are.

Just falling three times in a week.

Enjoy the dear little OTs and PTs, Fred. I swear, you have more lives than a cat — what happened this time?

Get well!

My participation will be limited for the next couple weeks. I'm in rehab again.

Good catch. The passage was translated: he was also wounded, which is a correct and direct translation. But a different translation changed the phrase to: who also was wounded.
You'd figure the web translation thing I use would be identical to their Google translate page. It wasn't.

badanov: please check the translation here. The sentence that concerns me is bolded and in italics.

Six paragraphs is perfect for short paragraphs, Fred. But for a piece with long paragraphs, that might approach 1000 words. Is something on the order of six line breaks or 500 words, whichever is less too complex?

Looks fine to me, Fred,
badanov- 05/06/2025 20:26
|
... or maybe six, disregarding blank lines?
Fred- 05/06/2025 19:22
|
Before I actually do this, let me have your opinions. I want to set it up so that front page only shows six paragraphs. Hitting the Link link (I know. Redundant.) opens the full text on poparticle.php. That way super-long articles are automatically condensed. Does that make sense? Is the cutoff (six line breaks) about right? Too short?

You are a joy and a wonder, Fred Pruitt. Truly, you’ve given us a wonderful toy to play with.

I've got an idea how to do it better and faster. Let me give it a try tomorrow.

P.49 can be edited only from Poster and Editor, NOT from Rantburg.com.
In Poster or Editor, click on Continued on Page 49.
This will give you a new tab: Continued.
You can make changes in the scrollable top section, while the fixed bottom section shows the original text. HOWEVER, the various editing buttons don’t work, so whatever you want to add will have to be typed manually or a copy pasted from elsewhere. Subtracting is done in the usual way. When done, click on the UPDATE button, which does work beautifully.

Getting an error like that usually means I'm missing something that's staring me in the face.
Fred- 05/04/2025 23:03
|
I'm getting a real stupid error message from Firefox's debugger. The code's pretty antique.
Fred- 05/04/2025 22:55

Let me take a look at it. It's been so long since I wrote it I can barely follow the coade.
