I know how you feel! I am more comfortable with Python and use it for most data-related tasks, but go to quarto and ggplot for docs and graphs.

This would be a good time to decide if "sanctioned" means "approved" or "forbidden".

... according to experts.

samuel beckett was born on this day 120 years ago. astonishing to think that if he had survived, and could run 100m in 9.57 seconds, he would be not only the oldest but also the fastest man in the world - together with his nobel prize for literature, an astonishing trifecta

Same with PNE. Early season hope fades into 12th place doldrums. I suspect something about Championship financing levels but don't really know.

Makes sense to me. Not so much cause-and-effect as an evolutionary "what's the equilibrium?"

Drawing on my vast experience (watching new episodes of "Location Location Location" from the UK)... the number of people looking for an extra room to enable working from home is also pushing up the house size people are looking for.

Kate Bowler may be full of insights, but unfortunately arranges her books incorrectly.

Very good.

Yes Angine de Poitrine are fun and worth the buzz, but why is the buzz exclusively from men? (reaction videos, comments etc). I guess my tastes are more male-coded than I realised.

To meet the 5% NATO spending target, CD Howe says the likeliest way is not just flatlining all non-defence spending (nowhere near enough), but also increasing GST by several points

We have definitely not had that conversation

Canada now spends 50% more on ammo than all our humanitarian aid

... Along with "You can't blame the box" which I saw recently.

I will steal "Air Canada moment". Good work.

You are on a roll sir. Good work.

They'll make it up on volume

Rutte needs to just fuck off. He speaks for nobody.

Here at Raskolnikov our motto is "OK Be Evil, But Feel Bad About it Later".

What if all the richest people in the world were reading sweeping social novels of the late 19th/early 20th century instead of Tolkien

A very stocky Exmoor Horn ram.

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

History and Heritage Yorkshire is one of my favourite accounts on here.

Over the last few years she has really become the one to go to if you want to know what's going on behind the curtain in parliament.

Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu joins Liberals in stunning floor crossing The Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong MP’s seat hands Carney a majority whether or not Liberals win the Quebec riding of Terrebonne in Monday’s byelections.

- The bitter lesson: Richard Sutton's view on AI
- The butter lesson: more butter makes better food @gracekind.net
- The batter lesson: crêpes are better than pancakes

- The botter lesson: genAI takes over social media

I hate to break this to you, but...

Oh what the heck, let's pretend it's Friday.

And little evidence for benefit in either case from what I have seen (and experienced).
