We had the wonderful opportunity of hosting a #useR2020 workshop on behalf of @jdblischak and @CarbonettoPeter thanks to the organisers of #useR2020. We learnt so much, and created a good {workflowr} contingent 😉.

The #DopIndex has just taken a step down, so #alcohol in #SouthAfrica has (on average) become fractionally cheaper.

What's going to happen when the #fuel price increases though?

#LockdownSA

[trundler @trundler]

And it looks like a drop in the average price of #beer is what's responsible for the more favourable #DopIndex.

In our minds, the only logical follow up to our #DopIndex is a #BraaiIndex.

We'd like your input on what items should feature, what are your top 5 braai essentials?

Updated #dopindex for #SouthAfrica. Take a look at how prices of alcohol have changed during the #COVID19 #lockdown. How will these change between now and #booze going on sale again on 1 June?

Hey #rstats peeps :) when you have to load large csv files (4.5GB) into RStudio, how do you do it? My computer only has 8GB RAM so it's struggling to load the data nevermind work with it. How can I work with this? 😳 Halp @rstatstweet

Below is what I found 👇 #Covid_19SA
