I do #rstats and I do baseball. And I wrote a book about their intesection.
Other than being translated in all languages, The Little Prince also has translations in several Italian dialects. I have seen two different translations in Bolognese. In the pic: Veneziano, Romagnolo, Milanese, Napoletano, Romano, Fiorentino, Barese, Bolognese.
@robertoredsox.bsky.social mi sa che sono finito in auto con un tuo "amico" : mi sta facendo un pippone su quanto sia difficile (gli ho chiesto pagamento con carta e fattura, sono di rientro da trasferta)
BTW, the catchphrase for that coffee ad was "più lo mandi giù, più ti tira su". (the more you chug it down, the more it lifts you up").

In case you're interested in the Italian call of the final pitch last night...
I wonder what's the percentage for Italy once the subjects are told Italian-but-louder doesn't count.
Nicola Rennie@nrennie.bsky.social · 7mo agoIt took a little while to track down the source of this data but I decided to remake this chart (obviously with #RStats).
With the new IIHF.tv now I have an option to legally watch the World Juniors from Italy. Price is also reasonable. Too bad they only provide a web player, no app for phone or TV!
Bonus point for using the word "umarell", which is technically Bolognese, but all Northern Italy is stealing it from us.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. The first person I thanked (not enough) in the US, I met him at the gate in Washington, waiting our connection to Pittsburgh, after delays and cancelations. We finally boarded and reached the Steel City late at night and I asked him for info about public 1/
Thanks to the kid having a cough fit at 2:30am, I put the Game on the radio to see if I fell back asleep quicker, then I listened intently to 15 innings. Then woke up a couple of hours later.
@terminologiaetc.it oggi ho ricevuto un messaggio che mi informa che la mia richiesta è pendente. È comune come traduzione di pending?
Disguised as just another book to make you laugh, this is one of my favorite books ever, with new layers becoming apparent every re-read (some only for the Bolognese-speakers). The author passed away today. Thanks for thousands of amazing pages Stefano.

An old Onyx Boox Max 2 e-ink tablet I wasn't using much anymore is now a family dashboard, with our schedule, doctors office hours, kids meal at school, my team games, etc.
Can't be at #saberseminar because family sample size recently went up by one, but still caring about the event.
Earlier this week my data set gained one data point. Control matches Case by gender, birth month and 5-years group age. I should be able to run a bunch of A/B testing in the upcoming years.
Last night I had a dream that I joined my old team for an exhibition game. The manager penciled me to play 2B and hit 16th (!)
