Realized it had been two months since I had a pint from a tap so cycled over to Oak Park's @BeerShopHQ and got myself a growler of @OldIrvingBeer Beezer and life got so much better in an instant.

The @Prince "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo from the RnR HoF induction is superb.
This weekend only we have something else. A fabulous 1995 Prince & The Revolution concert with a surreal 20 min "Purple Rain" guitar solo. Watched it twice already...

The hero we have, not the hero we deserve.
@marutterstat is up to over 2000 binary CRAN packages for @Ubuntu 20.04 aka "focal"; growing steadily.
Plus @Ubuntu 18.04 aka "bionic " stands at 4400.
All for your #rstats R 4.0.0 goodness.

Thanks so much! And if I may, we PR this image upstream each time so you can just do
$ docker run --rm -it r-base
which is just so much shorter, prettier, and enjoyable 😉
(Doesn't hold for the other Rocker containers though.)

🐳The rocker/r-base image now has R 4.0.0
Rocker project's base R Docker image was recently updated to R4.0.0. Great news for all who need to test their #rstats applications in a containerized way
💲docker run --rm -it rocker/r-base
Thanks @eddelbuettel et al. for all the work
Consider it done.
But I named it just `safy` to play it a little safer because, you know, of all the kittens. And assign a marginally calmer text.
Little demo below. Should be on GitHub as `safy` once I get a nice little README.md in.
#rstats
The official 'r-base' for @Docker is now at R 4.0.0.
As the underlying package awaits a 'transition' into @Debian proper (along with rebuilds of all reverse depends), one cannot yet install prebuilt r-cran-* packages (from R 3.*) so install from source.

That was most excellent. Thanks you so much for sharing your house with us, and offering a live concert.
[ I thought it was weird that you went all @milesdavis on us not talking or announcing a single title. Then again, no band to introduce 😉 ]
