I've made surprisingly good progress learning Stata, and even cracked a big coding problem all by myself. However, I'm now annoyed with it and wishing I'd just had the confidence to learn R like my stats supervisor told me I should.
The reason for my annoyance? Stata can't tell me IQR 😮

This year the UK Govt say they will publish an 'ambitious' cross-government child poverty strategy
Any respectable child poverty strategy must include action on social security including to abolish the two-child limit and introduce a protected minimum amount of support to UC 5/5

when my mother in law was dying last year, there was a really remarkably good little book given as part of hospice care, and one of the points it made was that even the last months of life were still a time you could grow, change, and enjoy both old and new things.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
