Real talk, this was in production for 7 years and is a triumph of hand drawn animation. The visuals are astonishing, assuming that's the kind of thing you can be astonished by. Go check it out!

You mean the people who used children as minesweepers in the Iran-Iraq war are cool with child soldiers? This is my shocked face. What human rights violations is the Iranian regime not ok with? I ask this not at all earnestly, because I know the answer.

Explaining to others how R is full of temptations...

And yet the (absurd) theory behind qualified immunity is that public employees (incl cops) are voraciously reading district court opinions to know *exactly* what has / hasn't been "clearly established". Clownworld!

"Pet meeeeeeee" *6 second long meow* #Caturday

In the last few weeks I replayed Dark Souls 1 & 3 and Bloodborne. Bloodborne has no right to be so good. It is simply sublime. Other than maybe some quality of life stuff (it was 2015, after all), it's a near perfect experience. The Old Hunters DLC is a triumph. It's tragic that it's PS exclusive

Bog standard economic growth understanding has just been correct over and over again with this stuff

+1 the lol Claremont However, i know I'm not alone in finding it difficult to just Fed independence on Constitutional grounds while finding it *even harder* for my (small "c") conservative temperament to justify tearing it down solely for that reason. What power does the Fed wield? Exec + Legis? 🤷‍♂️

Installed for safety (6 yo has been expressing interest in, uh, climbing...), and it ended up not looking absolutely terrible! Huzzah. Only thing I damaged was my fingers a few times. I'll take it.

This is what is known as "totally made up bullshit", and if you think more housing wouldn't change the price you're an idiot and you should feel bad.

Threw on Bloodborne after maybe 2 years since my last playthrough and got the Iosefka's Clinic Wolf skip my third try. I always had *so much* trouble slipping out of bounds, no idea why it was so easy this time. youtu.be/15Ps-dka2C8?...

I see someone ate at Arby's and got ideas

My ASD 6 yo has now fully transitioned from needing to know what kind of car everyone drives (MLK, Jr --> what car did he drive?) to needing to know if (and what kind) of batteries everything has. Goodbye every-car-mama-and-dada-have-ever-owned flowchart, hello en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

An interesting read out of Brookings last year as food for thought, anyways. www.brookings.edu/articles/are...

Some strategies "break containment" & the general player base learns them, too I remember when the "Blighttown Drop" was discovered in DS1. It doesn't save tons of time in a regular playthrough, but it does enable safe alternative early game strategies w/o a high skill lvl youtu.be/33nuTwkIdM8?...

@econmaett.github.io I talked myself into a new pencil. Only used for a few minutes, but I like it. The reputation appears well-earned, but only time will tell. Mechanical pencils for life!

I looked through this thread and didn't like what I saw. Clear-text formats giveth, and they taketh away!

TIL the big book of R exists. This is so cool! #rstats

Finally made the time to finish all of reproducible-data-science.dev It's great, and you should read it. There's certainly more available to be adopted than might be right for you / your team, but the layout is very clean and the topics get good treatment. (Use rix! It's so useful.) #rstats

the mountain poasting will continue until timeline morale improves

That's one way to ask for attention #Caturday

Kyler Murray to the Vikings? Lololol Oh boy. It was only two seasons ago they were a contender. #NFL

Just give the boats wheels! Is everyone stupid?

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! Anywhoodle, checked these out. If you like starburst, they're fine. However, they chose to use the same size chew as the OG candy, which is a *mistake*. A good gummy must be one you can stuff your face with, and these are awkward. 7.5 / 10

rix, my package that leverages #Nix to provide reproducible data science environments for #RStats (and #python and #julia) is in the top 10 starred ropensci packages! that’s pretty cool

Absolutely nutty. If you can hold both "Iran is totally normal and you can make deals with them that they'll follow" and "doing a terrorism is what we expect from them, the scamps", you are capable of mental gymnastics of which I can only dream.

Do they make automatic hand held milk frother thingies with a setting less aggressive than "what the hell, guy?" Asking for a friend who isn't splattered in hot cocoa mix.

At some point I switched from being the "Bro, just use `{marginaleffects}`" guy to the "Bro, just use `{rix}`" guy. Maybe you can guess what's been dominating my time at work... #rstats

Please #rstats community I need your help and guidance. I am teaching a GIS and spatial data class for ecologists. They are Sophomores. Beginner level 0. I have tried to live code my labs but they are unable to follow my code and they make all kinds of errors because they are missing commas etc.

You can pick through the oral argument transcript here back from July of last year. www.courtlistener.com/audio/99869/... Balance of payments != Balance of trade, which is why the admin reached for IEEPA. We live in clownworld.

Lol same dank room sold me on it bsky.app/profile/apoo...

Playing 'Animal Well', I came across this puzzle where I need to warp this spline to hit all three points. I was born for this. It's no mgcv, but it'll do. #GAM #rstats

My gal Twilight Sparkle got done dirty with this hair piece looking nonsense.

Jokes aside, i actually *learned* regular expressions many years ago w/ the rebus package. You build regex like you're a toddler playing w/ blocks, & before long the training wheels off can come off. Maybe with LLMs this is a dead skill, but knowledge is power! cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

The Great Disney Data Project is off to a running start with me finishing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Honestly much better than I remember. Snow has a lot more agency than people give her credit for. Don’t confuse cheerfulness with ditziness, everyone.

It's never actually that second thing, but the good that comes from frameworks like dplyr/tidyr is you spend your time thinking about the functions you apply to your days, and not the weird side-effects certain objects might have... Usually. (I'm looking at you, arrow -- pull(_, as_vector = TRUE)

Attention-seeking behavior! We're trying to play a game here! #Caturday

World Championships for pretty much any sport are great! Championships for anything are usually awesome. Nobody thinks about gymnastics except every 4 years, and you miss absurdities like Uchimura's 2014 FX in the All-Around. (This was King Kohei at the height of his powers). youtu.be/dZMHfNTZrr0

These victories have been primarily driven by small plaintiffs (who can't absorb bad policy like, say, Walmart can) and boutique public interest law firms. (Those civil liberties-focused, public interest law firms take donations, friends.)

55 years old?! I won't say it's their best work (because it isn't), but this is really when Yes started their run up to one of the best albums ever made (Close to the Edge in 1972 -- I think I've listened to it at least once a month every year since I was... 12?) Some bangers on here! +
