This is a good place to leave this link to a nice folk song about parasites that has a verse on Toxoplasma of course

Stuttgart has a few nice Art house cinemas. One is in an older building and has some nice retro vibe to it with it's old sign from the 60s. The other is newer and has better equipment. Both have a really chill atmosphere and a good programme of movies

Can you at least say how your prior belief distribution has shifted or been reaffirmed given the observed data points?

How is Pak better than pacman, which is my preferred package management solution for R.

Wouldn't porn have a clear bias due to selection issues, if fake moaning is more common in porn than in real live? Then again gathering experimental data would have an experimenter demand issue. Just imagine you are a participant in the natural human sex sounds study. Hard to imagine that you do not take that consciously into account.

What a pan-snake-sual Alpha move

Agreed. Suburban sprawl I meant

I work as a research economist and use half a model zoo and APIs regularly and have even written a small R package to work with LLM Apis. ChatGPT Pro in the interface for programming questions (helping me to write or document my R code, for example I have used it to easily translate tax laws into R functions to make microsimulations [of course i double check them]). Anthropic's or Groq's API's to process large amounts of documents fast (for examples creating JSON-lists about papers to make them more easily searchable). I have one small script that has many useful prompts that really helps me to rephrase texts (e.g. "Please rephrase this paragraph to be more clear and concise. Give me {n} Versions. {paragrph}") , which I have included into my browser. I used Stable Diffusion to generate images for my Christmas Cards.

Yeah, I got myself some Borrelia in 2022 thanks to a picnic in a meadow. Luckily the antibiotics killed those pretty fast.

hbomberguy has a few of these wild rides. I look forward to the video he will make sometimes this year.

RCpp is crazy good. You can super easily write Cpp inline with R code, it is easy to use and half of the tidyverse is written in it.

Angelo, the house is on fire! No mother it's just the northern lights

Middle school math memes

The bikepacking community sometimes feels more like a gear flaunting contest than a fun outdoor sport. Particularly amusing are 90kg men obsessing over a 10kg bike to save weight.

The last time I checked fusion was ..check notes.. just about fifty years away.

Why shouldn't it count?

Dave Bautista mirrors Arnold Schwarzenegger's path from sports to cinema, where he got action movie roles because of his physique. And like Schwarzenegger, Bautista's transition into diverse acting roles showcases his versatility beyond that.

The Southwest of Germany has two really regional dishes that are worth a try. The one is Käsespätzle which is a special Swabian type of egg-noodles with cheese. The other is Maultaschen which are Swabian Ravioli.

I am all for billionaires facing consequences for their actions. The death penalty is still deeply immoral though. Locking financial criminals up like for example the American state did with Martin Shkreli or Sam Bankman-Fried though is completely o.K. and should happen more often.

It also helps that the 2006 remake is hilariously bad in contrast.The only thing it gave us, is some quality time with Nicolas Cage and the bees.
