Playing around with a dev version of my cloud Linux server. It took over half an hour - probably close to an hour, I didn't time it -- to install the duckdb #RStats 📦from source. It just took less than 15 seconds with r2u 🤯 (Thanks @eddelbuettel.com ) eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/#usage-a...

At some point the red states are going to fall so far, so fast that I can imagine them abandoning that whole "states' rights" trope for a hit of that federal cash. Blue states and cities are going to try to maintain what they can but even the richest will have to choose programs to close. #GOPkills

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?
