@Dan thanks. I’ve played a wee bit with arrow and that might be the ticket.

I think duckdb and duckplyr might be a good solution to handle some larger-than-memory data challenges I have in an R project, but I’ve never used duckdb before. Anyone got a great tutorial? #rstats

I need a small favor: I’m planning to livestream a hyper-local candidate forum for our small town’s local election next week, but I just found out you can’t livestream from a mobile device on YouTube until your channel has 50 subscribers!

If 49 more people could subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@CoastsideCivic (feel free to unsubscribe after Thursday next week) it would really help me out

And if you’re interested in El Granada California local elections come along on Wednesday https://coastsidecivic.com

MLS Team Roster Profiles came out earlier this week. I always need practice pulling data from PDFs so I made a little project to turn them into CSVs. I used Pinpoint and R. Roster profiles and player designations in separate files, for now. #rstats #mls https://utdata.github.io/mls-roster-profiles/

Is it just me, or is Slack's "add bookmark" option that floats in and out of the screen just really distracting?

Perhaps getting a trio of vaccines — COVID, flu, Shingrix — was not the wisest idea? I dunno … at least I’m only sick once, but almost as bad as when I had shingles, which has horrible.

Folks, there is a new #judaspriest album due out in March 2024 (during #nicar24 no less), so my day has been made. I imagine fans listening to the first single Panic Attack might fear another Turbo, but I love it (and Turbo, for that matter). To me, it seems to follow Firepower quite nicely.

mmm ... how many students could go to college for free -- with computers, housing and everything paid -- for $70M.

Having a "Schedule send" on gmail and Slack messages is a good thing ... Except that it is 4 a.m. and I've been using that feature for the past two hours, which is not a good thing.

@ccrrccrccrr ohhh … that is interesting, but perhaps too extreme for me. I’m pretty good about keeping Downloads clean, but not not sure I want to commit to that.

I’m behind on episode releases, but this is gold: “Of all the unimportant things, football is the most important.” #wrexham #austinfc

OK … I’m again interested in the NBA thanks to #wemby. Last era I cared about was Duncan. And Robinson. And Olajuwan and Sampson. Malone. The 80s … like when defense was a thing.

I’m pretty sure my doctor would not think my cheese intake is a “positive pattern.”

Just watched highlights of Manchester United vs Wolverhampton … how did ManU win that match? Highlights were all Wolves.

Nice walk along Lake Michigan in Milwaukee.

Working on the battle vest for the upcoming season. #austinfc

TIL: don’t 4u€k with the sugar and fat content of a candy recipe. Too rich in butter and you end up with a sticky mass of sweet nothings.

I’m not saying this is a great idea, but I’m trying a holiday spice praline. It might be sugary shite. #candy #holidaybaking
