@devlight70@mastodon.ml I saw one on a freeway once that was burned out so it said, "REST RANT".

@yogthos Notably, the Sun Carp is only momentarily bothered by this event.

Tomorrow, September 19, is International Talk Like A #Pirate Day. Since I'm teaching a class in #rstats, I'm coming to class in full costume.

For data to play with, I'm looking at this:

Who called them "soup magnates" when "bouillonaires" was right there?

I'm not saying people get into dentistry for the money, but I saw a Jaguar with the license plate DR TOOF.

@freemo Depending on the definition of "butt", do snakes count?

Overheard: "I stepped on a snail in my bare feet and that's why I have this problem."

Henceforth, the word "scissors" will be pronounced "skeezers".

#Rstats has a built in dataset of #StarWars characters, but it is conspicuously missing Elan Sleazebaggano.

The real challenge in documentation / education is organizing the knowledge that's out there. A lot of systems seem to be documented by the equivalent of a garbage bag full of index cards.

Odd that a watch is a traditional retirement gift when one of the benefits of retirement is that you no longer have to care what time it is.

How would you get documentation for a topic in #rstats? You might try a question mark, "help", or various abbreviations of "documentation" or "manual". The one you want, though, is ... "vignette".

I appreciate language play, but this is cutesy to the point of opacity.
