Anyone else's house experience The Witching Hour? In which all animals and humans and appliances go wild at the same time? Overstimulated is not a strong enough word. I need a much punchier one.

"dramatic exit strategy" cracked me up 😂 #rstats #baseRgirlie

Ever looked at your graph and thought: this needs a more dramatic exit strategy? Make your R base plots self-destruct with style. If you must, download here: github.com/brandmaier/d... #RStats #DataVisualization #RProgramming #DataScience #OpenSource #AcademicHumor #noAI

Samsung... why you like dis? Why only display the "set" or target temp (twice) instead of the actual measured temp, which you DO have a json variable for, which I can clearly see in the advance web app browser version of your dumb app 😂 Where do I file a GitHub issue?? @sumsung.bsky.social

Husband and I have been together 20 years next month, and we've never - not once - had a fridge with an ice maker in it. Today, we say goodbye to a trusty old fridge and we get a new one. Now taking bets on how soon our brand new appliance breaks 😂 Also, the water line behind our fridge exploded 🫡

The last tiny bit of a Mac OS update is always such a tease. It looks small. It says 5 minutes. But then those 5 minutes last forever, and my next meeting is staring me down on the calendar while I reconsider my life choices.

There are wonderful humans in this world. They come in all sizes, patterns, colors, textures, and shapes. They have experiences that shape them, and those experiences probably don't look like the ones that shaped you. There are a billion+ ways to be a person. Be curious! Listen and see. Think!

Always love watching Jon give talks, and his posit conf talk this year was so exception!! So much enthusiastic nodding in agreement. But I was also super busy working, so I need to go check out {stbl} now 🔎🔎🔎

I made it through my #PositConf2026 talk! The Design of Everyday #RStats Functions. Slides here: stbl.wrangle.zone/slides/every... The underlying 📦 {stbl} is on CRAN!

Today at #positconf2026, I went rogue and interrupted the evening keynote with a nonsensical virtual poll because of some (hilarious?) technical issues 👀 You had to be there virtually, I promise it would have made sense. ANYONE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME! They haven't fired me yet 👉🏼👈🏼

I use worldtimebuddy so much, I feel like I should sponsor it somehow

I've been a huge Beatles fan since I was really little. Half my ill-advised internet passwords were (are? Internet is forever?) Beatles references. It's not something I talk about, it's just something that is. I love the Beatles 🤷🏻‍♀️ What's something you don't talk much about, but just IS for you?

Voicemail: "This is XYZ at Dr. ABC's office wondering if you could reschedule your appt. Give us a call back at <phone number>!" I call back at <phone number>: "Thank you for calling, I'm <AI bot name>. How can I help you?" ::round & round get nowhere, no resolution, hang up:: I hate it here.

So I took the LinkedIn app off my phone (thanks for the nudge towards my own goal, @steffilazerte.bsky.social !) because I have to use it for work and have been wanting to separate life/work more. Gotta say, my relationship with it shifted immediately. Better boundaries FTW 😤😤😤

If you're at @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference this week, come along on Tuesday morning at 9am for #TidyTuesday live! A workshop to help you develop your programming skills, ability to work with data, and be part of a wonderful data community! 📊 #RStats @rssannualconf.bsky.social

I just need someone to tell me that September will eventually end

Today was cursed. CURSED. Everything went wrong. Everyone needed something from me when I had no answers for them. Everything I did was wrong. I ran over a curb. My baby didn't cooperate with the ultrasound. I failed my first gestational diabetes test. I'm anemic again. I didn't get the email out.

Is the universe testing us?! First, Claude goes down the ENTIRE DS Lab hour as @mchow.com needed it to showcase roborev + superpowers + agentsview (rude, Claude! why??) TODAY, Eric's (@rpodcast.bsky.social) machine crashed TWICE during the DS Lab as he was showcasing Nix + {rix} 😂 #rstats 🫠

DO YOU CRAVE REPRODUCIBLE DATA DEV ENVIRONMENTS?! Come hang out with us, #rstats friends!

Tired of "it worked on my computer" breaking your #RStats projects? Tomorrow on the Data Science Lab, @rpodcast.bsky.social is going live to demo {rix}, an @ropensci.org package that uses Nix to build reproducible R environments. I caught a sneak peek and it's WOW! Join us! https:// pos.it/dslab

Ok I think I love my custom title bar more than I like Native Tabs, but ask me again in six months

In #Positron or #VSCode, have you tried using the Native Tabs setting? `"window.nativeTabs": true` in the settings.json will get you there. You can switch between different projects in different tabs! Caveat: it changes your custom title bar! 😩 #databs #rstats lucasprag.com/posts/underr...

My brain has really clocked out for the day, but I have at LEAST a few more hours of work to do. My brain, like a lot of brains, doesn't have more than 2-4 hours of "focused work" in it - whatever the heck that means for an ADHD brain (eye roll at capitalism) - & pregnancy has truly shortened that.

VS Code Native Tabs: manage multiple projects without juggling windows

VS Code Native Tabs let you group all your project windows into one tabbed interface — no more Cmd+Tab hunting. Here's how to set it up in 2 minutes.

When someone's feedback or advice to you amounts to, basically, "be less like you," it *should* be easy to ignore, right? But we know it's not really that easy, and that it can cause us to doubt ourselves. Returning to ourselves, questioning feedback a little bit, it can be an act of resistance ❤️

Feeling seen == "I stacked up some pepperonis for you before I put it in the oven so you can steal them off my pizza without them getting stuck"

Does anyone here build #Streamlit apps in #Positron and then deploy/publish them directly to #Snowflake? I have a friend working out how to do this well in a workflow. #python #pydata #databs

No one has benefitted more joyously from my pregnancy cravings than my husband I'm a frugal person, & we have spent many a year only eating at a restaurant once a week or less Now, he makes it his duty to fulfill any craving, & he's LOVING getting to partake of all this "outside" food 😂
