I think to be a UN translator, you have to be able to simultaneous translate at least three of the six official languages.

The UN considers the main language to be the language of an internal candidate’s post-secondary education. For external linguists, this generally means the “target language” into which an individual works. Each of the six official United Nations languages – Arabic, English, French, Mandarin-Chinese, Russian and Spanish – are tested.

The United Nations Translation Accreditation process is stringent.

At minimum, a Bachelor’s degree in the relevant area is required, but an advanced degree is preferred.

Most candidates have additionally earned a degree from an accredited translation school.

All candidates usually must be able to translate into their main language from at least two of the other official UN languages.

Cool story.

😳

That looks really good!!

Although I dont understand the full law proposal, they are not sewing gun owners, but the makers of the guns.

@George-K said in Hay, Twitter users. Whom do you follow for news, etc?:

Also, not those people who are interested in specific things.

eg, I follow several anesthesia-related people.

That would put me to sleep.

Posting for a friend.

It was kind of funny. He was sitting on the bed in the front bedroom, at the foot, and I wanted to read. So, I laid down on the bed, sorta pushed him over with my feet, and he stayed there for about 10 minutes.

Then, he decided he needed some cuddles, so he came up and laid down next to me. Spent about half an hour there, purring away.

Boris is definitely not a "cuddler," yet. In his head, at age 2 ½, he's still a kitten and still has some growing to do.

I'd love to see more of this.

And this is the result when Brady fell three points short of the Super Bowl.

Three points! Aargh!

Imagine if he'd gone all the way.

Enjoy your victory while you can, Ram chops.

Scalp ‘em, Indians, scalp ‘em.

Go team

Whatever they wear to space must have been prepared and pre-approved well in advance. Highly unlikely that cosmonauts get to pick a different outfit at the last minute.

You want an insurrection? I got yer insurrection right here.

According to Webster...
an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

By deliberately lying to swing an election, is not that a revolt?

@LuFins-Dad Build the line first, then get your QB.

Unless you're Brady. Then you unretire and they flock to you like flies to sugar. 😆

@Jolly said in "I matched!":

Does "good" enter into desirability?

That's what I was saying.

OK, I'm corrected.

Got to love her logic. America is stealing away the children -- itself an outrageously stupid utterance but what else is new -- but we have to save them . . . who's this we? People from the Planet Klingon?

Waaay past my building skills with cardboard. Or with much anything else...

Too soon.
