Bahaha! Thanks JoB grey*! I may have written This task I had to do anyway turned out to be hard enough for its own paper, but my favourite is I mashed together all these small studies I'm having trouble publishing to get enough statistical power to say Something.

*Sorry to you both, as noted in reply to Jitter (*checks to make sure that's the right person this time*), I'm having a day of misdirecting messages!

Oh I'm doing well today... I sent an email to the wrong Peggy this morning. My excuse then was too little caffeine, but I'm fully caffeinated now so I guess I'm just having "a day".  :'D

Let me heal that by adding the tool tip text that that image has on the xkcd site:

Others include "We've incrementally improved the estimate of this coefficient," "Maybe all these categories are wrong," and "We found a way to make student volunteers worse at tasks."

Thanks Vulpes! It's perfect! And as someone that appreciates both subjects involved in that research, I'm much relieved! :D

Wow, looks like an astro publication! :P And they didn't even include their university affiliations and fellowships. Or an acknowledgement of the source . . . of their . . . funding. . . . HMM. I think this might be a plot by Planter's Peanuts to cover something up.

I think this is probably the best place for this? Jitter, you posted some rock pics from what I assume is the new-old house you guys have been working on lately, and it reminded me that your husband was in danger of losing a little finger recently. So I wanted to ask, how is your husband? And Róisín, how is Star?

Maybe Comfort Corner would be the actual place, but this is ok too :) My husband is well! His hand is still in a splint, but he is even allowed to drive, which is nice. The finger is healing too, it was put more or less together with some metal plates and seems to be retaining at least some functionality although the final results will be seen only after months of rehabilitation. Anyways he can already move it a bit so it’s looking promising.

I took some spring pictures just today in the garden, I’ll post something in the gardening thread soon!

Thank you for asking, my Star is still in hospital, but in the local one now rather than the big one down in the city. Which is nice, I can visit more often. They think he will recover, we can only hope, and meanwhile I keep things going here. I miss him, but he is closer.

Kat_o_Nine_Tails on the SSSS discord has recently come up with the SSSS font. Looks pretty accurate from what I saw. Figured I could share it while I'm logged in:

It's nice to see you guys are doing well. I haven't been active lately because I've been busy with school and stuff. Stuff being taking care of our garden and baby chicks and ducklings! Here's a picture of some of them.


I'm almost done with this semester. Wish me luck on the finals :')

Sevseres, good to know you're out there and doing well. Good luck with the finals! So nice to have another semester in the bag. Those are cute birdlets, I like that the duckling is hanging out with the chicks. I wish I had the space (and patience) for chickens, they're a lot of fun to watch.
