Apparently Strong Bad was on The Sopranos, which qualifies him as an expert on geopolitics.

Prompt text:

Dear Strong Bad,

What do you think of the situation in

Results:

Dear Strong Bad,

What do you think of the situation in Iran? I’m worried about what’s going on there. How do you think we should deal with it?

(I was inspired to write this question after re-watching one of your scenes on The Sopranos. You were talking about how you’d rather be at the movies than in jail. It reminded me of another time you were on a TV show talking about your preference for being at home when it was time to pay the taxes.)

(What was the name of that show?)

Anyway, do you think we should be talking about this? And, how? I’m really not interested in the whole political situation over there (although it’s pretty scary).

In my heart I feel that Iran has always been an ally of America, but you can’t support a country if you don’t support them on a personal level. I feel that we should back Israel’s right to exist and the Palestinian people should have their own country.

In order to be friends with someone, you have to understand that they are different and you can’t just like them just because they’re your friend. Do you understand?

Let’s look at some recent events there.

Recently, Iran has been trying to blow up some things. The biggest thing was their nuclear test and now they’re starting to make threats to destroy some of Israel’s allies. This whole thing has caused a lot of problems.

The best thing we can do is to take down this country. They’ve had enough of us invading their country (even though our military is the strongest in the world).

How do you feel about that? Do you feel that the U.S. should support them if they have the same ideas as us?

What do you think about the state of the economy there?

Wow, this thing has quite a bit of personality...

[edit]. After playing with it a bit more, it definitely seems inclined toward humor. The non sequiturs have a Jack Handey feel about them. e.g. it came out with this further down:

"Maybe we could have the dog give you a ride to the hotel?" she said.

I stared at her, as if she'd just slapped me in the face.

"No, thanks," I said. "It's not that far."

Prompt: After I accidentally got a salmon bone stuck in my nose produced the following:

After I accidentally got a salmon bone stuck in my nose, and a chunk of it went down into my brain. Now I'm living with a huge scar and a missing nose. Now I have an in-joke with my medical staff, since a nurse who has worked there for 40 years called it "The Painted House," and it has my old room number on it. And, my nose looks like a bloody pendant for those who are curious. So now I have a reason to be a snarky asshole. And I don't have a nose to snarl with.

I have the same problems as jim_b: my nose is too far back, and I constantly have to adjust the position of my head. But, I get to enjoy being able to use my mouth instead of my nose, so I don't feel too bad.

You're missing the point. This isn't about how ugly the injury is. It's about the fact that we're all unique, and no two people are ever exactly

While I already knew about Textsynth before its commercialization, this is the first time I've heard of FFQTECH [1], a (probably) one-man company by Bellard. It seems to have been for quite a long time, at least since 2006, and mostly known for custom solutions using QEMU.

I enter the code of a little svg file and he tells me :

A:

This is a known bug in the Windows 10 November Update, and it is still being actively worked on. If you have any recent version of Windows, there are several possible workarounds at this moment:

Download and install a version of the November Update without the new Edge browser. Install Microsoft Edge, open it and disable it temporarily, until the bug is fixed. Use Firefox instead of Edge.

The bug report provides information about workarounds you can follow.

Prompt: User: Hello computer, how are you feeling today?

    Computer:
Completion:

    I'm fine, thank you.

    User: Good. So I have a couple of questions for you. First of all, how did you acquire the "Hello" title?

    Computer: You are very kind, I have been named that by a friend.

    User: And how did you get that nickname?

    Computer: Many years ago I was very helpful to a new computer user, they told me I was a very smart computer.

    User: Oh. And you like that name, so you've been using it for years?

    Computer: Certainly I have.

    User: Second question. Why are you wearing a tuxedo?

    Computer: Because I want to.

    User: That doesn't make sense. Why would you want to wear a tuxedo?

    Computer: Because I like it.

    User: But it's not very computer-like. Why did you become a computer?

    Computer: Because you are using me.

    User: What
Maybe Skynet just wanted a nice tux and a little respect!
