I'll be cold in the ground before I acknowledge lick-ert

Will be driving up to see my brother to watch it together (it's one of our things) for his birthday

Rewatched Scream 3 in preparation for Scream 7 tomorrow. God I love these movies, pumped for seeing tomorrow night.

Going into it I've decided Scream 3 and 4 are key to what's going to happen, and I can't wait to see if I'm right.

Bless my horror movie hating wife who watched 3 with me tonight

Is my intuition right for Wooldridges etwfe? Seems like you can follow a typical regression approach to testing for heterogenous treatment effects and then dynamic effects, potentially simplifying the model back down to a TWFE model if there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to.

It may be because most of my work is in the quasi-experimental world of "weird friggin designs", but this feels natural to power analyses via simulation. PI convos seem to naturally follow the advice when you have to build it all from scratch. Just not sure if that translates to "typical designs."

There is a big bass fish on the side of the helmet

But have you seen the US goalies helmet?

Working through a grant proposal and PI wants to base it on new design paper. Which is great... Until you realize they handwave away that randomization needed for the model to hold is impractical in almost every setting...

As a deep lover of Dune, you stopped before it gets REAL weird. Even for Dune.

WIPE YOUR SHIT DOWN WHEN YOU ARE DONE

Let us all bow our heads and acknowledge the new natural categories identified by LCA:

Low, Medium, and High

Also not surprising, these are some of the top Public Health schools in the country

While not 1:1, this reminds me of DBH's "The Doors of the Sea: Where was God in the Tsunami?" where he has his own take on theodicy. I've found much comfort in the closing paragraph over the years. Makes me think Barth and DBH would be interesting to read in conversation together on the topic

Looks at weird distribution:

"Don't make me get the bootstrap"

I wonder how that splits out by regular attendance? Is this driven by "cultural Evangelicals" or those in the pews? Wild either way.

I feel like sometimes God is a LITTLE on the nose with the lectionary:

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?"

Trying to go to sleep before a big presentation and there's a finance bro loudly taking a call in the room behind me. If I have to spend all night hearing about vertical integration and the Spanish markets, I will be feral by morning

Also on this hypothetical list, study IDs that look suspiciously like SSNs.

I would rage

Every time

Exactly how I was taught as well before dipping into the econ world and learning their vocab. It's interesting to see how it affects methods development. When econ started having issues with TWFE models because it didn't allow the parameter estimate to vary, I was like yeah... that's the definition

Really an excellent presentation of group level confounding and different associated models. I've never seen someone explain random vs fixed effects this cleanly. And as an epi doing econometrics, it's great seeing some love for Mundalk.

BTAS gave us the best version of Batman, because it remembered that he was also Bruce. I think some of the modern takes of "Bruce is the mask" lose something because you lose that vulnerability. That and it really is the best version of so many of the Rogue's gallery.

Quatre and Trowa was for sure mine

Yes.

You got it. Nerves are normal. My stomach still does flips the first day of class over a decade in. Nerves will settle.

The beatings will continue until the residuals are normal

Shocked, absolutely shocked

I dunno, "NSFW" was a pretty solid entry

I think there's gotta be some quality/rigor cut first. Too many grants I review are great ideas until you get to the "how" and then are genuinely terrible.

It really is kind of nuts that a survey on diversity doesn't allow for diverse racial identification.
