@AmyRemeikis Not average. Median.

@VizWizBI @tableau @tableaupublic Never been a fan of radial charts to display time unless it's a cycle (minutes of an hour, days of a year, etc). This arbitrary duration would be better as a linear representation, I think.

@BIScorecard It’s a banksia seed pod.

@mwyres @cmcau It’s a Tesla. They cost a motza to insure.

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@cmcau @mwyres I just churned from them. My car insurance renewal was up $300 to $2700 which was just stupid. I moved to another insurer and paid $1400 with half the excess and better conditions. Similar result on my motorcycle. They were just not in the ballpark.

@datakmart +1 for Hail Mary - enjoyed that one too! If you like that, try Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@datakmart Also:
Dictionary of Lost Words - Pip Williams
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman
Mistborn Trilogy - Brandon Sanderson
Murderbot Series - Martha Wells

That should keep you going! :-)

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@datakmart I’ve been reading the Jackson Lamb series by Mick Herron - starts with Slow Horses. UK-based spy thriller genre. Really enjoying that.

@Kellblog And yet it seems that you (as a nation, not necessarily as individuals) insist on doing so. Lose the guns.

@parsfarce @FigThe1 3/4 time is a waltz

1/ There are no other constitutional rights in substance without freedom to transact

Being meaning to write this for 6 months, but the Canadian response to the trucker protests is illustrating this so vividly, that today is the day.

@menscuriosa @AlDatavizguy @sqlsekou This is fantastic work. Well done!

@HighVizAbility I called them “loupe tooltips”. https://t.co/J9V2iGerBF

@_Lexifab Rawr!

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@_Lexifab This is why my wife and I have a rule... if we haven't made an introduction in the first 30 secs, the other should step in - "Hi - I'm Alan..." and draw out the other person's name. 😀 This rule gets enacted a lot.

@twelveseventy3 @cranium_frasier Thanks for making it so easy for me to register as a donor.

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@rob_farley @FerventGeek Yep - I encountered this in a meeting today. No buttons for mute/share/etc. I just figured it was me because I hardly ever use it.

[Alan Eldridge @aeldridge]

@_Lexifab I get that regularly with my canine owner too.
