So I occasionally buy imported Belgian beer from a NZ Importer. They import beer from all over the world, and I am glad we have their service. However this offer did seem to be taking the literal piss :-)

#Rstats - does Posit have a "feature request" for R Studio? I looked at the community forum, but it seems a bit generic.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed. There was a shimmer - a demon appeared. "Curious. What ritual is this?" "I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!" "I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

Dutch inspired red cycling paths in Portugal! Ventraco (#DCEnetwork) have recently unveiled the first kilometer of a new cycle path using their signature red asphalt. This eye-catching red cycle lane enhances cyclists' sense of safety, encouraging more people to choose the bike over the car.

Today in hardware lessons learned - although Zigbee is a "standard" the different hardware manufacturers do not actually co-operate with each other, so Tuya devices do not work with Xiaomi and vice-versa. That's about $60 of money down the drain - guess I could try and resell on Trademe.

I was going to buy a new LG OLED TV today, but there are so many people complaining that they cannot get their Xbox to connect (&I can't connect to my wife's one). I thought I'd ask Noel Leeming if they had any sort of money back guarantee - answer is no. Bugger. Been waiting 5 years! #Xbox #LGOLED

Occasionally I think to myself "What would I think if I suddenly found myself back in 1985?" Crappy computers yes but no USB would be a right pain (although there were almost no peripherals in 1985 so maybe not :-))

#Rstats people - is there anyway to get R Studios file open and project open dialog boxes to open in a specific directory? All my code is in ~Dropbox/Code/git and so I'd prefer that is where it looked first every time.
