Since I am kinship posting, there is also reciprocal kinship terminology in which mother's call their children "mother". It ain't rare! Kinship terms just don't, in general, mean specific biological descent relationships. They are much more fun than that linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/28...

Our study reveals how barn owl parents coordinate nightly chick feeding. Females step up when males underperform & pairs that meet more often at the nest share work more equally boosting chick survival🦉

My experience in disease modelling is 0 but I’m curious if I can suggest this package to coworkers who do disease modelling in veterinarian context
Maybe a dumb question but I am looking at the getting started and if i have a dataset with reference_date and report_date for any illness does that mean I can use this package for prediction?
what is your usecase for open in browser?

This time of year in central EU, I am reminded that the root meaning of "sky" is cloud. The color of the sky is gray, the heavens unseen are blue, and space is a radioactive void. In March, the Sun may appear once more. Until then, we eat potatoes and dream.

Whoever invents a silencer for leaf blowers will become a millionaire overnight.
Appreciate you took the time to answer. Best of luck in the search.
Of course, but my question was does the employer facilitate that in any way or no?
So how's that looking for someone who would need a visa etc.?

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

Actually... from my reading of the artists' basic income report, the government did not earn money back from the scheme (although its costs were offset 37%)

Most gains were societal and came from putting the artists' improvements in wellbeing in € terms

Just discovered the {gm} package, which lets you programmatically create sheet music (and audio!) with #rstats (with MuseScore as the backend) flujoo.github.io/gm/index.html

{tinytable} 0.14.0 for #RStats makes it super easy to draw tables in html, tex, docx, typ, md & png.

There are only a few functions to learn, but don't be fooled! Small 📦s can still be powerful.

Check out the new gallery page for fun case studies.
