A four-panel "clown makeup" meme humorously depicting the stages of overestimating time saved by scripting in R.

Panel 1: A man begins applying clown makeup. Caption: "I'm going to have to copy the results from the same analysis conducted on 4 datasets."

Panel 2: He applies more makeup. Caption: "I'll write an R script."

Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Caption: "It'll output the results for me in a clear and ready to edit format."

Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown. Caption: "I'm going to save so much time as compared to copying and pasting."

Maybe I'm just terrible at R but I don't think it has ever saved me time.

I'm finding a groove making letterpress pocket notebooks. These were a gift to @mattgrizz.bsky.social's lab, which I've been crashing while on sabbatical.

Covers printed w/ vintage metal & wood type on a signpress. Recycled paper inside.

(If your lab wants something like this, we can talk!)

Whoa! Just saw that Opinion Science just crossed another neat milestone: 200,000 downloads!

It's certainly not the biggest podcast in the world, but for an indie social science show, I'm pretty proud of that.

(And I *promise* more episodes are on their way. Sorry for the delay!)

Can someone try to replicate this error in
#microsoft #excel? If I ask for the standard deviation of a constant where the value is 3.12, 3.45, -3.12, or -3.45, I get a value that isn't zero. Note that this isn't true of other numbers like 2, 3.23, etc. What's happening?
