I want to say thanks again to all of my wheel clients who are continuing to use my services during this time of crisis. My workshop is in my home and so I am able to keep building and fixing bike wheels. Are you in SE London?

Statistics can be seen as the art of telling the difference between pattern and randomness.

[Arup Sen @WheelBuilding]

To see non-random patterns and connections between events that are due to pure chance (coincidence) is the basis of superstition. Nothing magical or mysterious has occurred.

The open declaration of our sentiments is called the taking off the mask, as the secret intimation of our opinions is said to be the veiling of them.

@zeubies Long stream. Nice to catch you.

We have no other notion of cause and effect, but that of certain objects, which have been always conjoined together, and which in all past instances have been found inseparable.

I believe everyone will readily agree agree with me, that the ideas of the memory are more strong and lively than those of the fancy.

My trusty Xbox 360 controller died on me today at the very start of my stream. I was forced to use keyboard and mouse. All good practice.

Wow 🤩 13 years! Can you believe it.

Sometimes more bitterness can be sown in five minutes than can be got rid of in a whole lifetime.

Using my iPhone 7 as a webcam and using it as a source in OBS was a huge upgrade from my current webcam. Did a short stream to test and it worked really well. Just an on the phone was all it took.
