i’m not saying they are lying but it’s probably outdated. look at pictures of him and compare them to tour de france riders. it does not add up

not arguing with your broader point but i think it's unlikely his weight is actually 58kg. probably closer to 65-72kg. 58kg is tour de france level skin on bone at his height.

we usually host an RStudio Server instance ourselves. also thinking of moving to webR as the packages are all available. an option perhaps?

My reason for sharing this is not that editors make wrong decisions, but that such long delays in publications also delay other people from building on work, or could lead to people just giving up and working on other projects instead. That seems like it would've been very unfortunate in this case

happy to help. i think i remember that it took me some attempts too. does the quarto-ext/fontawesome extension show up in ../_extensions ? for me, the bluesky icon was the only one supplied by the FontAwesome extension, so I guess the problem must lie there?

this worked for me:

navbar:
right:
- icon: bluesky
# see github.com/quarto-ext/f...
- text: '{{< fa brands bluesky size=sm >}}'

exactly. "For some associations, volunteer bias in the UKB is so severe that estimates have the opposite sign."
