Well my 4 year old uses the phrase "I'm willing to gamble" regularly. How are everyone else's high-minded transitions out of poker going?

Went down a Sandra Boynton rabbit hole tonight. Could not love her more. Her office is exactly what you'd picture, a 120 year old restructured barn, and her four kids performed songs from her books together. Also: has any other American author ever had a year like her 1982?

Last week my 4 year old cut my hair. This week my wife tried to fix it.

People with knowledge of math say "Please tell me they didn't blindly fit to a cubic and then extrapolate"

Blankets... But wider. So I don't have to have a tug-o-war. Every. Single. Night.

Let me tell you what I wish I’d known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control Who lives, who dies, who [borrows your song title to write a cash-in book when they could have testified before Congress] tells your story... secure.fairfightaction.com/j/step/volunte…

Covid MEsearch! We didn't really know what to do about school in the fall, so Emily Kroshus suggested we ask 730 other people what they were going to do. They didn't really know either.

Our car got broken into last night. I'm mostly just embarassed that another human being bore witness to the detritus of the kids car seats, and I'm hopeful that it served as enough of a deterrent to cause our thief to rethink their life of crime.

2 y/o Teddy: Where's Allie and Mommy? Me: they are at Allie's swimming lesson. It's a Teddy and daddy afternoon! We can go grocery shopping, play at the park and make dinner! Teddy: you wanna get some beer, Matty? The kid can read a room.

Is there a German word for when you are trying to get out of the house, but your toddler creates successively larger waves of destruction while you triage the previous wave?

How many times per year is it acceptable to throw away all your socks and just start over?

Even as someone who works with data every day, it's rare to see a disrupted time series quite as stark as this. Rates of girls' education in Afghanistan collapsed to *zero* when Taliban took over in 1996, shattering progress up to that point. The question is what happens next

Cancelled meetings and cut off my work day 5 hours early to pick my 6 year old daughter up from school today because, apparently, she had to fart.

10pm, made myself an emergency chocolate cake-in-a-mug, had to substitute literally every single ingredient and now I finally understand the limitations of synthetic data

Got covid and quarantining from my family (3 kids <= 6). On the downside, I have covid. On the upside, wow is productivity easier when I abdicate family. For example, today I tested a prediction model out of sample and produced r^2 = -13. Is that good quantitudethepodcast ?
