@toxicologist12 My mother, who is an ER nurse says you say "thanks, this must be for all the hard working nurses" and accept the pizza order. 😄 She also said the nurses at her hospital do sometimes have their own pizza party.

@sciencegal_NZ @SmallScreenGeek Hey. How long is "a few months"? I've been considering getting rabbits again, but am away for several weeks over Christmas so not sure how that'd work.
Plus how old are they and what size/breed are they?

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@ppgardne They never said it was a linear 500 miles...
But also, in pop. genetics the second 500 would be a bunch of smaller circles in distinctly different areas....

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@ppgardne @LeaskMegan And this graph includes papers from as early as 2000, were expected to be filed within 60 days & requests were made during the first lockdowns of 2020 (so far as I can work out) - I'm not surprised there was a high % of ignored requests.

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@ppgardne @LeaskMegan But if the request is "ignored" you can't really say anything about the reasons being legitimate or not. In every case here, except social sciences, data was shared more often than requests were outright declined.

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@Eric_Fauman @LeaskMegan @TonyMerriman2 some food for thought. (Not as black & white as tweet #1 would suggest though)

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@yeehawtheboys Our neighbours. We call their house "Flag House" and their cat is "Flag Cat" 😄 They switch out the flag based on what holidays/events are going on at the time (e.g. Tongan flag when we vs them in rugby). And when there's nothing much happening they have a unicorn flag. 🦄

@Becs I count at least 10. But if the rule really states "clothes rack" everyone should string up some clothes line instead. More drying space + following the (stupid) rules, win-win. 😊

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

A great factoid that we should all share more often. Will try remember this next time I'm teaching a @thecarpentries course.

I was today's years old when i learnt R programming language was created by a Māori statistician Ross Ihaka and his colleague Robert Gentleman at the U. of Auckland https://t.co/AuiG8HKbew

@benapeters @OtagoBiochemist @Better_Posters @anna__gosling Most recent Paint picture, for Marilyn's farewell card.

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@benapeters @OtagoBiochemist @Better_Posters It was @anna__gosling who started those ones. The Paint figure pre-dates them by several years though.

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@benapeters @OtagoBiochemist @Better_Posters I have a paper with a figure made in Paint. It's not obvious like this one though.

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@sciencegal_NZ Anthony can hook you up.

@ProfGemmell Same!

@LeaskMegan @AndyWGettysburg But so long as I have to do that same thing >60 times I've made my time back easy.
(I totally gave up half way through and switched to Excel to finish what I was doing in R the other day so 🤷🏼‍♀️)

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

To anyone grumbling that #wordle has changed since NYT took over, it has barely changed, they've mostly removed offensive words.

[Forbin Project (parody) @ForbinP]

Detecting changes in the #Wordle dictionary between the "original" and "New York Times" variants. The word lists are easily found within the source code.

(There is a separate list of "solution words" too, but let's start with the main "valid guess" dictionaries).

@jduckles "so long as it's all saved in an unencrypted, plain text format somewhere so we can find any info we need easily we don't care how you get it" 😄 😄 😄

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@jduckles Yup. After I got the error a couple times I was being extra cautious when entering it. Still couldn't get it to work. Was so frustrating. 😤

[Tanya Major @geeketics]

@jduckles I tried to set a pin for a new card using this "system" from TSB. It made it so hard to be sure I got it right both times and I kept getting an error. Eventually I gave up and waited until I was next actually in Taranaki. 2 minute trip to the bank and it was sorted. 🤦
