"Fuzzy Wuzzy" By Rudyard Kipling circa 1892

We've fought with many men acrost the seas,
An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not:
The Paythan an' the Zulu an' Burmese;
But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot.
We never got a ha'porth's change of 'im:
'E squatted in the scrub an' 'ocked our 'orses,
'E cut our sentries up at Suakim,
An' 'e played the cat an' banjo with our forces.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

We took our chanst among the Khyber 'ills,
The Boers knocked us silly at a mile,
The Burman give us Irriwaddy chills,
An' a Zulu impi dished us up in style:
But all we ever got from such as they
Was pop to what the Fuzzy made us swaller;
We 'eld our bloomin' own, the papers say,
But man for man the Fuzzy knocked us 'oller.
Then 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' the missis and the kid;
Our orders was to break you, an' of course we went an' did.
We sloshed you with Martinis, an' it wasn't 'ardly fair;
But for all the odds agin' you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.

'E 'asn't got no papers of 'is own,
'E 'asn't got no medals nor rewards,
So we must certify the skill 'e's shown
In usin' of 'is long two-'anded swords:
When 'e's 'oppin' in an' out among the bush
With 'is coffin-'eaded shield an' shovel-spear,
An 'appy day with Fuzzy on the rush
Will last an 'ealthy Tommy for a year.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' your friends which are no more,
If we 'adn't lost some messmates we would 'elp you to deplore.
But give an' take's the gospel, an' we'll call the bargain fair,
For if you 'ave lost more than us, you crumpled up the square!

'E rushes at the smoke when we let drive,
An', before we know, 'e's 'ackin' at our 'ead;
'E's all 'ot sand an' ginger when alive,
An' 'e's generally shammin' when 'e's dead.
'E's a daisy, 'e's a ducky, 'e's a lamb!
'E's a injia-rubber idiot on the spree,
'E's the on'y thing that doesn't give a damn
For a Regiment o' British Infantree!
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
An' 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, with your 'ayrick 'ead of 'air --
You big black boundin' beggar -- for you broke a British square!

Thank you for sharing that with me! It's interesting to learn about the origins of the phrase "Fuzzy Wuzzy" and how it was used in Rudyard Kipling's poem to describe a fierce and formidable opponent. It's a testament to the power of language and how words can take on new meanings and associations over time.

@Bender, describe the current situation in Kosovo.
Click to expand...
As an AI language model, my information is up to date, but it is important to note that the situation in Kosovo can change rapidly over time. As of my last update, Kosovo is a partially recognized country in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in 2008. While over 100 countries have recognized Kosovo's independence, Serbia and several other countries have not, leading to ongoing political tensions in the region.

There have also been sporadic outbreaks of violence in Kosovo in recent years, including clashes between ethnic Albanians and Serbs, as well as protests and demonstrations over political and economic issues. However, the situation is generally stable, and the government of Kosovo is working to address these challenges and promote peace and stability in the region.

It's worth noting that the situation in Kosovo is complex, and there are many factors at play that contribute to the ongoing challenges facing the country. As such, it's important to stay informed about the latest developments and to approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness to learn more.

Tell me more about the ethnic Albanians
Click to expand...
The ethnic Albanians are a predominantly Muslim ethnic group that is native to Albania and much of the Balkans region. They are the largest ethnic group in Kosovo and make up a significant proportion of the population in neighboring countries like North Macedonia and Montenegro.

In Kosovo, the ethnic Albanians have a complex history that dates back many centuries, and they have played a key role in the region's political and cultural development. During the Ottoman Empire, the Albanians were one of the dominant ethnic groups in the Balkans, and they played an important role in the region's social, cultural, and political life.

More recently, the Albanians of Kosovo have been involved in a long struggle for self-determination and independence, which culminated in the declaration of independence from Serbia in 2008. Today, the ethnic Albanians are the largest ethnic group in Kosovo, and they are heavily represented in the country's political, economic, and social systems.

Despite these successes, however, the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo still face significant challenges, including poverty, discrimination, and political instability. There are ongoing efforts to address these issues and promote greater equality and justice for all people in the region, but progress is slow and uneven, and much work remains to be done.

@Bender, can you generate turn-by-turn directions to get from one location to another?
Click to expand...
As an AI language model, unfortunately, I am not able to generate turn-by-turn directions for specific addresses or locations. However, there are many map applications and websites that can provide this information for you, such as Google Maps, MapQuest, or Waze. These tools can give you detailed directions that include step-by-step instructions, estimated travel times, and alternative routes, depending on your preferences. Simply enter your starting point and your destination, and the tool will calculate the best route for you.

?OUT OF DATA ERROR IN 70 w/ the joystick test program.
Click to expand...
How are you running this? Is it included with other codes or just individually?
Click to expand...
I'm sorry, but I don't have enough context to provide an accurate answer. Without more information about the specific joystick test program you are referring to, it's difficult for me to determine the cause of the "out of data" error you are experiencing. Can you please provide more details about the program, and how you are running it? That way, I can do my best to provide you with more helpful information.

Bender,

The code provided:

10 REM JOYSTICK TEST PROGRAM
20 POKE 56320,0:pOKE 56321,0
30 X=160:Y=100
40 JOY1=54272
50 POKE JOY1+17,15
60 POKE JOY1+18,15
70 READ A$:IF A$="" THEN 120
80 POKE JOY1+16,VAL("&"+A$)
90 GOTO 70
100 DATA 8,9,10,11
110 REM END OF PROGRAM
120 END

The above code provides an out-of-data error at 70. What is A$ referring to in your code?

110 REM END OF PROGRAM
120 END

Click to expand...
Ah, I see now. The joystick test program you provided is written in BASIC programming language and is designed to test the functionality of the joystick on the Commodore 64 computer.

In the program, the variable A$ is used to store the joystick input values, which are read in from the data statements using the READ command. The data values (8, 9, 10, 11) represent the different directions that the joystick can be moved in (up, down, left, right).

The program is designed to continuously read in the joystick input values and update the position of an on-screen object (represented by the variables X and Y) based on the direction of the joystick movement.

The "out-of-data" error you are experiencing at line 70 is likely due to the fact that the program has reached the end of the data statements and there are no more values to be read in. When this happens, the program attempts to read in another value, which causes the error.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
 
Ok, so I should have looked at his code—kind of complicated for a basic program. Depending on memory, it may not be able to store that data. and it doesn't appear ever to get past 90 therefore can't read 100 here is what I would do.

10 REM JOYSTICK TEST PROGRAM
20 for b=0 to 17
30 read a
40 poke 163+b,a
50 next
60 sys 163
70 data 120,173,0,220,141,32,208,74,74,74,74,41,,1,141,33,208,16,239

Test that let me know if that works.

As an AI language model, I cannot test the code provided, but I can tell you that your modification to the original code replaces the joystick input values stored in the JOY1 memory location with a set of values stored in a loop using the PEEK command. The SYS command is then used to execute the machine code stored in JOY1 memory location, which presumably performs some action based on the input values.

Without knowing the specifics of what you are trying to achieve with this program, it's difficult for me to say whether this modification will work or not. However, it seems like a reasonable approach to try if you are running into issues with the original code.

If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

@Bender, explain Facebook algorithms.
Click to expand...
Sure, I can give you a brief explanation of Facebook's algorithms!

Facebook's algorithms are a set of complex mathematical formulas that are used to determine what content to show to each individual user on their newsfeed. The algorithms take into account a wide range of factors, including the user's previous interactions with content, the content's popularity among other users, and the user's personal preferences and interests.

One of the main goals of Facebook's algorithms is to keep users engaged and active on the platform by showing them content that they are likely to be interested in and engage with. This helps to keep users on the site for longer periods of time, which in turn benefits Facebook by allowing them to show more ads to users and generate more revenue.

Facebook's algorithms are constantly being updated and refined based on user feedback and changing trends in content consumption. Facebook also provides tools for users and content creators to optimize their content for the algorithms and increase their visibility on the platform.

I hope this helps give you a better understanding of Facebook's algorithms! Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
