I don’t like the necrobinder in slay the spire 2 because to compute health loss from an attack, you have to read your block (left), osty’s health (right), and your health (left). too many eye movements

I'm kind of loving the idea of a centrifugal process that sharpens group differences competing with a shrinkage process that drags them back towards each other. Social theory as classical mechanics.

fir a growth curve model yesterday with a mix of 2-10 year olds and adults that basically was: score ~ 1 + is_child + is_child:splines(age_months) where is_child is a 0/1 indicator variable. I like the elegance of turning on age as a variable

My favorite Slay The Spire 2 synergy space I’ve stumbled onto is Regent’s “be gone” / “tyranny” / that uncommon one self-exhaust card plus “bombardment” (expensive card that plays itself once exhausted)

As I progressed (hopefully) from data novice to data competent, one of the most impactful practices I adopted was to never* rely on saved intermediate datasets (etc) in my workflow. All projects are designed so that ["raw" data -> analysis data -> analysis] is 100% reproduced in every session.

My least favorite event in Slay The Spire 2 is “This or That” where the choices are “This” or “That”. It makes all the other events seem kind of stupid for having the same formula.

The Iran war not even having a concrete goal makes it less of a “war” and more of a “hobby.” Like renting a tank in Vegas to blow up a refrigerator. As always, the great achievement of this administration is taking evil aspects of American politics and somehow making them much, much more evil.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

the Fahrenheit scale is funny because 0°F to 32°F basically measures how well road salt can melt ice.
