I'm no artist, but I was tasked by my girls to dress up as Ash Ketchum for family Halloween. These aren't terrible!

The best part: ethanol won't destroy them (esp if they are seasonal tools). So no fun surprises when you discover it won't start or it runs like garbage because the ethanol inside turned into chewing gum because you failed the winterizing ritual last year.

Some jokes are so good my first reaction isn't even to laugh. It's jealousy that I didn't think of the joke, first.

Classy! (And an interesting -- er, distressing? -- read)

Marshawn Lloyd will see that you blocked him 0 yards and lose you 4. He sucks out loud. #Packers

Napping inside a "bear cave" the girls made. I didn't know he was in there, and he didn't appreciate the disturbance. #Caturday

A tie! Giants - Commanders ends in embarrassing fashion. #NFL

A real attempt at hide and seek. Sometimes having kids feels like living in a cartoon, it's great.

Cowboys lose (funny) TB's win preserves Todd Bowles' job for another week (also funny: he makes them worse) My Packers didn't play so they couldn't melt down in hilarious fashion (as they do). This is good #NFL day

Recommend something for Matt, nerds!

I am asking the same thing, today. Anyone in the #rstats hivemind who uses this on an enterprise team? My team is in a weird spot where nobody really owns all the technology pieces we've leaned against each other and it's becoming a problem...

📝 My paper on generalized additive models (GAMs) in animal science is out! Learn nonlinear relationships from data, estimate growth rates and compare treatments, with cows, pigs and quail + reproducible #RStats code. Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.an... #mgcv #AnimalScience #Statistics 🧪

To this day, I still have not the slightest clue what dbt is.

Me, watching the Packers cough up the ball in the red zone in the 4th quarter. These useless clowns #Packers

The really short and sweet bits are what has stuck with me forever youtu.be/8ea0AOP-SGA

Anyways, if you know someone who has ~2+ years of experience with Bayesian statistics in a production setting, is located in the U.S., Canada, or Latin America (U.S. Central or Eastern time strongly preferred), and wants to build a personalization engine for subscription apps with me, shoot me a DM.

To quote the famous Mr Plinkett Star Wars reviews... "Who gives a crap how dark it is? My stool is dark, and the doctor says that's bad!"

RIP to everyone’s favorite p<0.05 factory

Fun fact, I'm 5 years older than Danny Glover was in this scene.

Update to the update. Rolled the credits on Well Dweller. So fun! It's so charming / icky in all the right ways. Movement feels great, combat is fun, bosses are all quality. Really a wonderful experience.

My Packers are so unbelievably cooked. Pass protection so bad it barely registers as existing. #NFL #Packers

Do they make automatic hand held milk frother thingies with a setting less aggressive than "what the hell, guy?" Asking for a friend who isn't splattered in hot cocoa mix.

Oh shit, I went skydiving there ~15 years ago when I lived in SE WI. It's not often you see East Troy in the news...

So are we still calling him Drake "The Schedule" Maye, or is that too charitable? Fake Maye? His last 7 games are astoundingly awful for someone I was assured deserved MVP votes. 121/200, 7 TD, 10 INT, 30 sacks, 72.8 rating Some of that was the playoffs, but we're 3 games in now! #NFL

I like being lectured told that the giant supermarket ultra-megacenter / theme park isnt as cool as the crowded bodega they shop at (the one in-between 3 weed stores, somehow). NYC is a great city, but I don't need to hear about how you ride a thin crust pizza to work or whatever.

My Packers are almost unwatchable. Truly awful, awful stuff. #NFL

Did they manage to avoid data leackage in their model training? No. But did they properly pre-process the data? Also no.

Update: only a few hours in, but it's dope as hell And it's $16! The value is crazy

Happy Well Dweller release day, everyone. Kyle Thompson doesn't miss, and I anticipate another banger. If you are Metroidvania-curious, check it out!

Google Play Music now squeezes into a little bar unless you fully close the app out. This can have interesting results depending on the album art! I discovered this when I was sufficiently creeped out by where my random playlist paused when I switched over to a podcast.

In Sample vs Out of Sample Performance: A Cautionary Tale

Basically every single pedagogical debate is like this: “Let’s move away from phonics, multiplication tables and testing because they leave kids behind” “Aren’t those the only things that work” “Yes” “And won’t it be less equitable in the end because rich parents can pay for tutors” “Also yes”

Aren't these pretty much the same numbers from a few years ago? It's not strange that people are happy with their opportunities but think "hey, I bet some of my neighbors would benefit from these jobs being available if they wanted them." These numbers don't conflict at all!

That Caleb Williams injury looks bad As a Packers fan I want Bears fans to be as miserable as I am, but not because of injuries. I want them to try and fail the old fashioned way! Wishing a speedy recovery and good prognosis. #NFL

This is the best series ever to exist
