Comment on Why do Engineers prefer to think unscientifically? Part 1 of 2 by Ed

My hypothesis is that the Salem Hypo author, and legions of his more left fellows, have had a hard time with the rationality of engineers, with their typically conservative bent.
The S.H. is a way to deal, by ad hominem sleight.

Comment on BEER REVIEW: End of the World Midnight Wheat by Marcos

I found the beer to be not in a way special…except for the label.

I admit, I bought a six pack just for the label (post-apocalyptic steam-punk sun) and I found drinking it with General Tso’s chicken played off its mildness in an interesting way.

Yes they’re helpful! I don’t know if you’d be able to tackle this in a blog post but something about writing loops would be really useful.

Sam,
Glad these are helpful! I was kinda wondering if they were useful to anyone. I’d be willing to take requests if you have a specific topic you want me to tackle next.

I really like these R posts and I hope you write more of them. I study animal behaviour and am using R a lot to analyse my data, it’s a great program but also a very steep learning curve!

I am doing a high school biology report on Aye-Aye’s :) They are one of those animals that are freaky when young but they just get cuter the older they get! <3 Their fingers stay creepy forever though… :]
