My two cents: Alaska and Greenland should be Canadian.

Lying with bar charts is a fine art. It must be credible but visually significant at a glance. #datavis

Marquei o fim de semana em Barcelona só para não ter de votar nas opções que temos. Vou ignorar a possibilidade de voto antecipado, mas se alguém quiser... (Na verdade vou ajudar o miúdo a carregar a tralha no regresso de Erasmus, mas junta-se junta-se o útil ao agradável.)

Finalmente vim conhecer o palácio Baldaya. Tenho de ir ver o espaço de cowork.

Judging by the Venezuelan waitress at the restaurant where I had lunch, I think they should give all Venezuelans the day off. They are not of much use today. Means and ends, but I'm happy for them.

No, but.

Ai, caracas, vai ser um belo ano.

My "lose 50g a day" challenge is going great.

Printers are the Dementors of the office world. My son bought new ink and is trying to use ours. Should I let him? It's one of those parenting dilemmas (warning vs. learning from experience), but it's a printer, ffs. He may never recover his joie de vivre.

Should I turn it into a LinkedIn post? Perhaps a new certification for Deep Diving?

Symbols, tradition, willpower. That's what matters.

Para já, só estou a avisar moderadamente sobre a chuva. Vê lá, não me faças ir aí.

Acho que não está dia para banho em Carcavelos.

As 2025 comes to a close, 2026 is coming to replace it. It's a flow. Everything is connected. Tomorrow morning is just tomorrow morning.

Top producer but not a single one in the top 100 best cheeses. That's harsh. "German technology" does sound better than "German cheese".

Whatever happened to La Sombrita? Still there?

Came to test the new electric ferries. Feel smooth.

I can now share that I survived the two major Christmas banes: #whamageddon and buying Temu garbage.

I confess, I don't know a single German cheese. But it's not may fault that many names sound like IKEA furniture. If you choose a cheese, which cheese would you choose? The smelly Limburger? The Odenwälder Frühstückskäse? The Bio-schaukaeserei Wiggensbach? www.tasteatlas.com/best-rated-c...

Cheesy #datavis from the Eurostat.

Português low-cost.

Strong probability of a white Christmas here.

Public libraries here close for the next four days. So annoying.

Descobri que a minha cidade de origem familiar, Beja, foi fundada pelos celtas. Vou pôr isso no meu certificado de brancura.

That you despise Mercator but are comfortable with Fahrenheit is one of those contradictions that makes the human species so wonderful.

Está na altura de uma nova versão de um dos melhores anúncios de sempre youtu.be/ThyoQ-BaveA?...

Wait. Apparently I like boxing.

Nothing in the list is worse than Power BI, and yet, here we are.

Interesting thread. We have a few interconnected hard trends (demography, climate, inequality) and how do we deal with/prepare for them? Mostly with polarized skin-level answers from the left and from the right that conveniently ignore the hard part.

Knowing how much you'll have to wait solves 50% of the problems with buses. This app is terrible (ux-wise) but it's perfect for my commute. Unlike the train, the bus takes me door to door and wait for no more than 2-3 minutes. I have no idea why this is a new app, should be available for years now.

When using custom error bars in Excel and you set the direction to Plus it actually displays the bars in the Minus direction if the error value is negative. #ChatGPT, #CoPilot, #Gemini and #Grok said the bars would be suppressed. Only #Claude got it right.

Is there a pill I can take now and put me to sleep until the 7th of January?

Tasteless cover at so many levels. And regarding the content, well...

I never considered using a flag emoji. Tempted to start now. And not because of Russia or China (well, those too).

Pelo que percebi, hoje de manhã não se arranjava Uber em Lisboa por menos de 12€.

I'm giving up my long-held dream of cultivating an arrogant snobbery regarding tea.

Letter K is not in the Portuguese alphabet! Do it again!

Made a #datavis Christmas tree :)

Read this book... Because of this. (This made me sad. The once luxurious #datavis garden feels like a barren place where you can read a sentence or two and intuit ancient glory.

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only:

Christmas of 2022. Saddest Christmas trees ever. I miss them.

I love this time of the year, when I can have a toast and a big cup of hot tea, while listening (and discretely dancing) to latin summer hits.

Python + pandas: PowerQuery for grown-ups. lol

My son is returning home from Erasmus in January. Tempted to rent a motorhome to help him move (and a bit of well-deserved sightseeing for all the family).

Bought a (very) used car. Next day, both the front and the rear windows were broken. These dreams are so annoying.

Decided to post this chart on Reddit (I think I never posted a chart there). It's... fun.

Dentro do veículo senta-se a primeira camada de passageiros nas bancadas. Depois de todos os lugares ocupados estreitissimamente, à cunha, o veículo considera-se completamente vazio, e mete-se-lhe a segunda camada de passageiros, colocada exatamente em cima da primeira.

My first Tesla! (Uber Tesla, I mean). I guess I'll buy one instead of replacing my projector light bulb. Its home cinema is better than my current setup.

I'm resisting teasing Andy, but I am wondering how much his mood has changed since this.

Oh, no, they ruined it.
