intifada chants in the exact same spot we were talking. I respectfully ask you to keep in mind that Jews here legitimately feel threatened and are constantly harrassed. Please rememebr that. I would also like to personally invite you to a quiet peaceful event, if you would DM me

@oliviachow @MayorOliviaChow I chatted with you today while you were putting on your skates, telling you that I personally know many Jews are afraid to walk around downtown Toronto. You assured me to "tell them not to worry". 30 min later there were Hamas support banners and

@Timesofgaza You forgot to add that moments earlier, this "young man" STABBED a person and wounded him critically.

I don't think in any other country you can critically stab someone and walk away happily.

@CharlesBordet Yeah I'm doing that too, but feels like reinventing the wheel. I assumed there must be a builtin for it, but maybe not

#rstats question about CRAN mirror repos:

When installing a package and providing a `repos` param, I assumed it overrides `getOption("repos")`. But from testing, it seems that's not true, it looks like the R option still takes precedence.
