I read a translation of a japanese novel today with a funky anaphora👀 Has to be the toothpick but do I really want to reach into the appositive for that? (english translation and source in Alt)

A section from the German translation of the novel 'Hatokos wunderbarer Schreibwarenladen' by Ito Ogawa.

"Aal. Ich fühlte mich zwischendurch satt, hatte jedoch am Ende die ganze Portion geschafft.
»Es war köstlich.«
Als ich aufsah, trafen sich unsere Blicke. Der Baron schaute ernst, während er, einen Zahnstocher zwischen den Lippen, darauf herumkaute."

("Eel. I felt full in between, however, I managed the whole portion in the end.
»It was delicious.«
When I looked up, our eyes met. The baron looked serious, while he, a toothpick between his lips, chewed on it.")

and of course I made a poster, who do you take me for (yes the test showed a significant difference between light and dark colors in terms of peelability, and yes the data is not balanced, this was for FUN i love R)

Section of a poster about the peelability of eggs, starting with some text in German: '...Dateien übertragen. In R (R Core Team (2018)) wurden die Daten schließlich deskriptiv und inferenzstatistisch ausgewertet. R-Script zugänglich unter: C:/Users/Lotta/Destkop'
This is followed by a table listing how many eggs were easy or hard to peel or in the middle, sorted by color, followed by a ggplot bar plot of that table.
The bar counting the easy to peel eggs is colored in red, a lot of pink, orange, purple, light green, dark green, a lot of yellow, and dark blue. In the middle is orange, purple, dark green, yellow, and dark blue. Hard to peel is colored in pink, orange, purple, dark green, yellow, and dark blue.
On the right, there is a glimpse of another bar plot and the sources: Eggers, Wittgenstei, R Core Team

from another bear, apparently

Packaging of a haribo candy called 'fruity bussi'. It features the haribo bear holding a berry shaped gummy, with a bubble saying 'delishiously filled.

still relevant after yet another semester TAing intro to logic

$a venn diagram: left circle says 'fitch proofs in latex', right circle says 'psycho killer by the talking heads', and the intersection is a screenshot of the code to write lines in a fitch proof which is a lot of '\fa \fa \fa \fa' in two columns$
