@teknomagic @t3rr0rz0n3 También yo.

@lkundrak If it consoles you a bit. I am a biologist and I haven't touched R in six years, nor Java in 14.

But these days I mostly toot about non-biology stuff. :welp:

@orci Hmmmnah, but tell her you're offended she didn't share.

@CorioPsicologia No sé quién te engañó pero te hizo una putada, la verdad.

@JoeKozinski Ese logo es una mierda.

@euklidiadas Buenos cuchillos y/o buenas piedras de afilar.

@CorioPsicologia @camilo @akirasanz Lo de la Wurlitzer es lo que no entendía. Lo otro sabía que había ocurrido y me sorprendió: no.

@CorioPsicologia @camilo ¿Khé?

@euklidiadas Probablemente sean las "manías eufóricas".

I am watching a video on a video game publisher titled "the Neo-Victorian, Neo-Nazi, Lesbian BDSM Cult that made Video Games".

TIL there are two bands named exactly "In Loving Memory", one from Iowa and one from Bilbao, Spain, and both have a bandcamp site, but with different urls. Let that be a lesson to make a web search for your ideas before committing to them.

@paulcowdell @pluralistic It doesn't mention durian…

Someto a valoración como idea: un incentivo para que las empresas que abriesen en medio de una jodida alerta roja meteorológica como las de estos días (y no estoy mirando a Mercadona ni El Corte Inglés por nada), sería permitir que las compañías de seguros no tuvieran que cubrir pérdidas si el negocio estuviera abierto en estás condiciones.

@bjn @cstross Is it me or the Tory party women seem to follow a pattern of "I must be meaner than Mean Maggie"?

@cjust I didn't have "crying at the loss of Terry Pratchett again" oin my agenda today, but seems I'll have to cram it in. :crying_cat_2:
