He showed that the inverse is probably the best, but you can also truncate. Try all the methods and see which transformation works best. We can get together and go over that if we want a good excuse to catch up.

Roger Ratclifr published a few papers on that, and despite the papers being in maybe Psych Bull, they were ignored. They were also faced on RT data, but ...

So with the current dt-Musk feud, how long before dt expels all the South African refugees he was so worried about? On a related point, that bromance lasted longer than I expected.

Three colleagues, independent of each other, expressed worry today about living in an authoritarian country. Two colleagues worried about traveling abroad because they have spouses who are naturalized citizens. One worried for a graduate being a target for doing eco conscious research.

You do realize Chicago produced a pope before the bears produced a 4000 yard QB.

I have said a few times. The ICE agents is a person and they need to be identified. "i was just following orders" is a crap defense and they need to be identified.

Sigh there is all this talk about how dt and ICE are deporting people. I want to know the names of these ICE agents. Ultimately, they too should be charged when all is said and done. "Following orders" has never been a good defense.

I just sent myself a note to my work email to check it all out. Looks fun. I need some fun in these crazy times. Of course I need to find better avenues of fun but now I digress.

Turns out he wants to tariff illegal fentanyl as well, so even street drugs will be more expensive.

Don't boycott Amazon. Just quit it . Most places now offer free shipping and i hate commercials for a movie service I paid for. Dump it.

Well. Not literally. Figuratively, sure. I know. Not the point, but let's make sure we are the voices of logic.

I looked through that list. Holy hell. You know. dt fired the folks over seeing elections. That was hidden in the madness.

Come here to Texas and try out a field study. I want to watch. Ha (I kid I kid. Please don't do that).

So here is a question. Is it possible to monitor dt's stock trades? I actually wonder if he is making tariffs are on and off announcements as a way to time the market and make a buck. I do not put that past him.

A colleague here told me yesterday that he is headed off to an NIH panel next week. I told him to not self-police for dt. He had already decided that, which I hope is the norm.

Super interesting. Thank you. I read a commentary recently by Joe Forgas but it was surprisingly void of fact or data. I wanted to respond, but why would I if there was nothing real to debate.

The assumption is that the price hikes will be temporary. What if sales stay the same and we simply pay more. That will encourage them to keep the higher prices because they know we will pay. Sigh. Higher prices all around.
