@Iamreddave I’m a bit of an environmentalist, myself! <hickup>

Do you have a #PhD but work outside of #academia? Has it been several years since you finished? A friend and I are working on a book chapter about career transitions (what makes them easy, what makes them difficult) and we're capturing info. If you're interested, consider filling this out and boost!

We also have white squirrels. The fact that the hawk will pick off an underground mammal rather than a white squirrel should tell you exactly how fucking mean them white squirrels are. I watched a white squirrel chew up a 10 penny nail and spit out a barbed wire fence. I shit you not.

My neighborhood hawk is vivisecting a mole in my front yard.

It’s bob l’eponge from now on.

When I was a teenager in the 2000s I somehow got the opportunity to interview the drummer from Minor Threat for a hardcore zine.

I asked him for his advice for young musicians. He said “you’re not going to listen to this advice because you don’t think it’s cool, and one day you’ll regret it, but always wear earplugs.”

I didn’t listen.

Didn’t think it was cool.

Permanent ear damage by my mid 20s.

Trying to help my GF get up and running with R for basic stats stuff. I _thought_ the {easystats} ecosystem would be the way to go but all the docs are very academic and tailored toward JOSS papers.

Any great 1 function wonders people suggest? Similar to skimr::skim() but maybe that make some nice ggplots?

The best motorcycle for sale listing evar. It tells a whole story.

@mellowfish oh wow. Yeah I can imagine how that happens.

@petersforbes@sigmoid.social that's the only way this makes sense.

eBay motors gives a list of model years to choose from. Sorted… no shit… randomly. How does this crap make it through basic testing?

Some of us are aware that -40° Celsius is also -40° Fahrenheit. It's the only point where the two scales agree.

But did you know there are palindrome temperatures and they're very useful also!

16° Celsius = 61° Fahrenheit
28° Celsius = 82° Fahrenheit

@scheidegger she’s got them Waffle Ju Jitsu skills.

I eat at Popeyes and Waffle House mostly in hope of working on my grappling skills. Scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked is how I like the floors and the chairs.

New family motto just dropped...

PhD students wanted! My institute #DIW Berlin is looking for the next cohort of doctoral students. After a one-year training phase, you can join one of DIW's departments.

For my research area "Transformation of the Energy Economy" I'm looking for PhD students keen to do research on the renewable energy transition. If you’re passionate about highly renewable, low-carbon energy markets, energy storage, electric heating and electric mobility, this could be for you! ☀️🔌 🔋

@karlstanley @eoins do we pronounce it “you vee?”

So my kid tells me she feels like I don’t give her enough privacy.

That’s ridiculous.

Well she didn’t actually tell me that to my face. She wrote it in her journal. But still.

@MikeKSmith I don’t specify 😁
