Poll #257 reported! If the remaining 9 polling stations have the same amount of ballots as the average station in the first 257 polls reported, then there are only 2889 votes expected** and a gap of 3649 votes!

another station reported! 94% of remaining vote to cover the gap. 255/266.

Got another scrap from the kid! Now it's clear that it's f(a,b) = (a*b)^2

6yo said they invented a "new math sign" and handed me this lol

Anyways, they said you have to times the two numbers together then times by itself. I only received one scrap so I'm not sure if they mean f(a,b) = (a*b)^b or f(a,b) = (a*b)^2

Changelog for recipe tweaking experiments. Trying to decide if I should reduce the honey if I reduce the yeast

Kids favourite fruit snack bar flavour/ safe food has been discontinued! So time to do taste testing to pick acceptable replacements :)

Not surprised at all for me, but that "you are tied between evil and good" is a bit much lol.

Also, not very chaotic to quantify one's chaotic-ness.

Latest and most complex Cricut project. The layers are a bit off because I did it by eye. But next time I will add registration marks in hopes of better alignment! Most of my recent projects are rice container labels (this is for my sushi rice of course)

First Cricut project! Play buttons for microwave on the IKEA play kitchen. We went back to fill in two spots with a sharpie.

The kids are Gingerbread Mans (sic) and I am a gingerbread eating monster. They have tried dumping potty water on me but I am impervious because I come from the sewars. But the oldest inscribed these Runes of Warding to keep the monster out of their fort. (One of their first written words lol)

Nice. I finally replaced my dying go-to calculator and posted it in my work's data science community of practice lol. Left is the old one, right is the new.

This model has been my top choice since grade 8, the white one is the 3rd incarnation.

"Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre as a kid."

First movie I ever saw in theatre! I can count the total movies seen in a theatre before university on one hand, going to the movies wasn't really a thing for our family.

6yo got super frustrated at getting all the low rolls in board games (truly really bad luck several nights in a row). So our self regulation is to roll 100 times and tally. We will make a plot after 1000 rolls lol.

Using only a restaurant, tell us where you went to college. (Grad school for me, since I went to college in the same place I grew up)

1. Really interesting or really incorrect statistical statements

2. Iced coffee

3. A high quality plate of Mexican food, e.g. the kind you find on a worksite taco truck or hole in the wall place, ideally from Southern California (but not Baja style).

Finally found some in our grocery store after >1.5 years. Haven't tried it yet but have heard that new source of peppers = different taste?

This was an unexpected and ominous greeting from my dishwasher just now.

Decided that stay = multi visits or like 4+ days, visit = shorter trip, stopped = intentional stop to see something (day trip), pass = airport or driving thru / truck stop etc

Found the plot. Looks like we usually have a rise in flu in late Nov (week 48) but last year was much earlier (week 43, late Oct!). 2020/21 had no season effectively. Will be interested to see if we will now start flu season earlier now.

Reskeet with something you own that most people don't.

Here is some lunar regolith simulant! Got it during a prospective graduate student visit, in 2012.

Yay, it works now! I had tried to press the exact same button previously but nothing happened (the camera button worked though. Maybe a temp glitch in my app then. Thanks!
