I demonstrate that Python could easily replace SAS (proprietary and expensive statistical software). There was already plans to move from SAS to Python and I was the first hire specifically to help with this, and after a couple of months they saw that it worked better than expected and the SAS phase out was accelerated.

First, survival bias. Second, wtf?
New golden era for Adam Ellis?
I remember that he was a pretty bad comic artist with lames jokes, then he re invented himself with funny self conscious humor and now has come back with a very polished, but still characteristic art style.

She was nor even a coconut, she was a woman.
People actually have cubicles like that, with decoration and everything? I’m a typical office worker in Brazil and have never seen something like that.

Soy farming restores nitrogen on soil. The alternative of using chemical processes to restore that nitrogen is stopping farming corn, and that’s not happening.

Citations Needed: Episode 157: How the “Culture War” Label Is Used to Trivialize Life-and-Death Economic Issues
“Let the Culture Wars Begin. Again,” The New York Times announces. “How the ‘Culture War’ Could Break Democracy,” warns Politico. “As The Culture Wars Shift, President Trump Struggles To Adapt,” NPR tells us. “Will Democrats Go on the Offensive in the Culture Wars?” Vanity Fair wonders.
Over and over, we’re reminded that so-called culture wars are being waged between a simplified Left and Right. Depending on who you ask, they tend to encompass issues under very broad categories: “LGBTQ rights,” “abortion,” “funding for the arts,” “policing,” “immigration,” “family values.” While there is some validity to the label of “culture war issue” – say, Republican opposition to an art installation, or tantrums over the gender of M&Ms – most of the time, the term is woefully misapplied.
Despite what much of the media claims, LGBTQ rights, police violence, abortion, and so many other issues aren’t just “culture war” fluff in the same league as the latest Fox News meltdown about a cartoon character. Nor are they both-sides-able matters of debate. They’re matters of real, material consequence, often with life-and-death stakes. So why is it that these are placed under the “culture war” umbrella? And what are the dangers of characterizing them that way?
On this episode, we discuss the vague nature of the term “culture war”; how this lack of clarity is weaponized to gloss over and minimize life-and-death issues like police violence and gender-affirming healthcare; and how the only consistent criterion for a “culture war” seems to be issues that impact someone other than the media’s default audience, i.e., a white professional-class man.
Our guest is The Real News Network Editor-in-Chief Max Alvarez.

How do you know if a picture was taken on fall? I’m joking, guess MM is for month. Anyway, YYYY-MM-DD is ISO-8601 compliant and better.
If I understand correctly, you want to add the filename as a watermark in your pictures? Do you know python? Pretty sure there must be some python library that can help you with that. Try asking some AI LLM it should not be that complicated.

That last part reminds me of a 4chan (?) meme of the Chad saying that he knows that trans women are women because he’s straight so everyone that he likes is a woman.
