I might have had the first client today on the phone talking to me as if I was a chatbot? Maybe that would explain the extreme entitlement they showed and the bewilderment that I didn't speak their native language? Or they were just an asshole.

Just what I needed, a random stranger telling me how awful and useless I am as I try my best to bridge a severe language barrier, after a whole day of coworkers telling how wrong and bad everything I do is no matter if I actually did something wrong.

Cis women actually love mansplaining, when they get to do it to trans women.

Feedback on this is very welcome btw. It's been a lot of work to write this and I would like to know, if it hits a spot for those interested, especially since a lot of people said they'd like articles about statistics concepts. But I can only know it works, if you tell me :)

I wrote the first of those articles I teased at, introducing a foundational statistics concept. Starting with: the binomial distribution estherweidauer.com/articles/bin...

My main lesson from reading several Dune novels is that, if only men recommend a book to you, it's probably not nearly as good as they say.

In case you ever wonder why old analog photo gear is getting so expensive ... remember there's people like this www.reddit.com/r/Polaroid/c...

Titanic (1997) is an inverse Muppet movie. Everyone down to the most minor character delivers a great performance peering deep into the human soul, except DiCaprio who could be replaced with Gonzo and it wouldn't be much different.

I'm thinking about writing some pieces each explaining one statistics concept in a way that makes sense so anyone who hasn't had much math since highschool. I'd start with the binomial distribution and why it's important since that came up recently.

Cool. An Uber driver just tried to hit me with his car while I was cycling. I was crossing as he came out of a side street, he definitely saw me, and he stepped on the gas as I was right in front of him.

I maintain that running as a form of exercise is only good, if your actual goal is to get better at running, or if you actually (be honest!) enjoy it as an activity. If a good 5k time or marathon or whatever is your goal or you really do like it, absolutely go running. Otherwise, please, no.
