At the Indian restaurant. WTF am I supposed to do with this? Challenge the ruler of the sea for dominance?

Amusing moments at the office; I was playing my Great Big Sea playlist over the speaker and The Jolly Butcher came on. Coworker: This sounds like a children’s song! Me: …….No. (It is a folk song about a man who pays a woman to have a one-night stand with him and then tries to renege on the deal.)

If you’re down with that, great! Happy to have you! If you wanted something a little more cottagecore and little less Sir David Attenborough tours Dante’s Inferno, no shade, and I wish you well on Al Gore’s Internet.
Vitamin C is also called ‘ascorbic acid.’ The Greek-derived prefix ‘a-’ means “not, without.” ‘Scorbutus’ in New Latin means “scurvy.” So ‘ascorbic acid’ is ‘no-scurvy acid.’

Hey #rstats folks, anyone know if Visual Studio Build Tools is still needed to do stuff with sparklyr / reticulate on Windows? I cannot find any mention of it whatsoever in the docs, but have run into problems in the past…
ME: Hey, Kevin? HIM: Huh? ME: You’re my suspiciously hot spouse. Are you actually a spy for China? HIM: I think I’d get paid more. ME: Maybe you are and I just don’t know about your spy income! HIM: Hmm. HIM: Being a spy sounds like it takes a lot of energy? ME: Yeah, that one I believe.
snafu = a situation marked by errors or confusion ‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.” fubar = thoroughly confused, disordered, damaged, or ruined 'Fubar' stands for “F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition.” We hope this isn’t either.

I am apparently doing one of my “try to purchase most of the Christmas presents before the first of December” years, as I started shopping in earnest today.
I liked this book enough that I ordered several more by the same author (No, I can’t read Japanese, but following simple origami patterns is mostly a matter of following the pictures, and Google Translate helps fill any gaps)
