Am 6. Dezember 2024 werden es zwanzig Jahre gewesen sein, seitdem ich aus meinem Ei gekommen bin. Ich lade alle zu meiner Geburtstagsparty, beim Westdeutscher Rundfunk, in Köln, am Freitag, 6. Dezember ein! Seit zwanzig Jahren haben wir Kinder glücklich gemacht. Ihr könnt ab 9 Uhr kommen, und die Party endet um 21 Uhr. Wir werden alle zusammen den ganzen Tag spielen, essen, und singen. Fischpasteten mache ich, weil ich die gerne esse. Könnt ihr etwas zu trinken mitbringen? Ihr könnt gerne auch Sußgebäck machen und mitbringen. Ich freue mich darauf, Euch alle zu sehen.

Liebe Grüße,

@hugh @aetios Dr. Yellow !!!!! Nice ! (Here's an old pic of mine of IRIS 320, their French girlfriend, and her little brother the ESV 702)
ESV 702 (Engin de Surveillance des Voies), from the diagonal front, approaching the viewer standing on platform on the opposite track.

It is a somewhat long one coach self propelled unit, with a somewhat square shape.

The livery is similar to the modern SNCF carillon livery, but with orange stripes.

(Top light grey, sides with a dark grey horizontal band, and bottom light grey, at the end orange slightly tilted vertical striped, and a white cap, with the front of the train painted dark grey).ESV 702 (Engin de Surveillance des Voies), close up from the side, crossing the station on the opposite track.

You see very well the two \ \ orange stripes with the front one separating the grey bands from the front side white.Middle of the train side, with the Vigirail white text on the dark grey band followed by six \ \ \ \ \ \ orange bands and then the orange text Surveillance du Réseau.IRIS 320 seen from afar, next to a maintenance center.

It is an old school TGV Réseau, but it has a special livery.
Like modern TGV it is painted white, with a dark horizontal band on the side, ending with the ventilation on the sides of the power cars, and the very from of the power cars are painted in dark grey.

However, on each car, there are some yellow tilted vertical stripes (\ \ \) at both ends of the car (except the front of the power cars).

From this distance, one cannot see the bump that allows the monitoring of the catenary, sadly.

And one last #happy_birthday_david_attenborough #attenborough #RRSSirDavidAttenborough :
A post from social media, referencing David Attenborough.

[David Attenborough voice]

In the heart of the French countryside, we witness a rare and extraordinary spectacle. Here, a sleek and powerful Alstom TGV train, like a majestic creature of modern engineering, gently approaches a bushel of straws. With precision and grace, it engages with its unusual prey. The train's metallic jaws, akin to the sharp beak of a bird of prey, deftly gather the straws, drawing them into its vast, cavernous maw. The straws, seemingly insignificant, vanish swiftly into the mighty machine, showcasing the harmonious dance between nature and technology. Indeed, even in the realm of high-speed locomotives, there is a remarkable elegance in the everyday.

This responds to a post from Europe Trains Railways ECC (dated November 27)
Today, France
Sustainable development: first herbivorous TGV being tested today at my place.

Picture :

A TGV Duplex poser car, seen from the front, with one of the hatch of the sharfenberg automatic coupler bent, under which half a haystack can be seen. (The haystack has the shape of a half circle, with the lower part having vanished, likely spread below the train).

Speaking of David #happy_birthday_david_attenborough #attenborough #RRSSirDavidAttenborough I have this little meme in my stash:
A comic featuring Sir David Attenborough, from birdandmoon.com

David is sitting on a folding beach chair in his garden, reading a book, and with a glass of red wine nearby.

Three animal, arrive in the garden, a bird with a large tail, and small mammal and a small amphibian, which David would probably identify.

The small frog says "And here it is, This extraordinary creature is called the David Attenborough".

Second panel, David looks up from his book, startled, as the frog gets closers and continues "Standing over 5 feet tall, the David Attenborough consumes an astonishing 3 meals per day, and dresses itself with superbe accuracy"

Third panel, the frog hops on David's leg, while david starts to look a bit annoyed : "Sady, there is only one known David Attenborough in existence, Attempts to capture a second David Attenborough for breeding purposes have ended in failure".

Last panels a tattoo pushes in a loud speaker (with a cute butterfly on top). The frog sitting on the head of the small mammal, sitting upright, says : "Our best hopes may now lie in an initiative that aims to attract breeding stock by broadcasting its characteristic calls".

David Attenborough looks very annoyed as the loud speaker parrots him "Omnivores ! They're the most adaptable animals in ..."

Poke @davidrevoy j'ai mis les Mini-fantasy theatre 27 et 28 à la fin de mon amphi et demandé aux étudiants si Pyrobolus était ou non la bonne incantation pour une boule de feu. Je laisse Masto répondre au sondage. (Et je vous donne le résultat de mes étudiants en réponse ⬇️ )
A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything.

Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this...

Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully:

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells.
Parrot: What can I help with?

Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance.

Witch: "Shut up, you... thing."

Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk.

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?

(Original Alt Text from David Revoy)A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.

Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?"
AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"."

Panel 2. The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.

Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!"

Panel 2(small insert in previous panel). Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.

Gothic sorceress: "?!!"

Panel 3. The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.

Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!"

Panel 4. As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.

AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."

A door with a large number of comics on them.
At the top :
- A print of a pencil sketch of Porco Rosso's main character, stating "Better a pig than a fascist"
- A Wanted poster for a bicyclic molecule to be identified (Theobromine says the hint).
- The Raiders of the lost Arc<_> poster made by Mara Bos for Rustweek NL 2025 (feat a ferris holding the whip, instead of Henri Jones Junior (aka Indiana, but that was the dog name)).

Then 4 rows neatly arranged with mini fantasy theatre from David Revoy (see https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html for full descriptions of the 4-panel comics)
These are the all current episodes related to AI issues :
First row, episodes 18, 20, 27, and 28;
Second row, episodes 29, 30, 31, and 32;
Third row, the door handle, then 33, 34 and 35;
Fourth row, the for handle, then 36 and 37.

On panel 35, a post it, with "censored" in red ink, hides part of the speech bubble from the Goth Witch (embarrassingly blushing) in the fourth panel.
