It is that time of the year when you can support R foundation. Please do it. #rstats r-project.org/foundation/don…

We had a couple of friends over and made this, and offspring #2 who is of the 'grammable' generation says the selfie is a good one so here you have it: two nerds, and a lasagna made with Marcella Hazan 'ragu' made during six hours the previous day. Turned out well too.

Unsure whether I lost more brain cells watching "Bullet Train" on @netflix (PSA: Avoid at all cost), or from suffering the umpteent repeat of that @verizon ad on @foxnews during the half-time break.

So someone fires three quarters of the bird site staff. Surprise, surprise service quality goes down. This is an ad-hoc 'search and mute and block' script of mine, here aiming recent (and rampant) crypto spam. Imagine what a dedicated engineering team could do to spambots.

Milestone: one million packages served by #r2u. For #Rstats on Ubuntu, all CRAN packages as binaries "fast, easy, reliably" from a well-connected mirror, all dependencies resolved via `apt`. I will talk about this tomorrow at the Cleveland RUG; a video may be forthcoming.

<Cough, cough> If only, #ChatGPT3. Your training data appears to either be five years out of data, or poorly edited: There was a bit of a black eye five years ago. But this years showing was much improved. Onwards to 2026 when North America hosts. #worldcup #usmnt

One weird trick... again from @eddelbuettel: For Linux: you can avoid `apt` altogether if you follow this step from r2u. Then you can get the R package binaries from install.packages() For me, I like to see what's there via apt-cache, so i prefer apt, but to each their own...

Apropos of events this week I tricked the much-talked about ChatGPT into stating that soccer is futile when we all know *that ball is life* (and many countries are in tears, the way it goes every four years). #worldcup #soccer

The tweet had no EPL takers in January, but I could still make my services available to any interested national soccer federation. I am already familiar with Germany and Canada, and could make myself available to Mexico, Belgium or other counter country. #soccer #worldcup
Dear Everton: I was born not too far in time and space from Juergen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, and Ralf Rangnick. I am available, I still speak German, and I bleed Fussball. What else do you need to know before I become the next EPL Manager?

regret to inform that we are, in fact, a run-on-thanksgiving family
