A great listen as always. I feel you are definitely going to be disappointed if you want lots of New Republic politics world-building.

Also I did not recognise the Mantellian savrip in the teaser... I think it probably all adds up to Mando heading to Ord Mantell!

It feels like it should be consistent and possibly unbiased, but that's purely intuition. Is there a theory covering this?

You might be looking for @hadley.nz R For Data Science (R4DS) book? r4ds.hadley.nz

Packages like dplyr do have great documentation at their tidyverse.org websites including articles (like vignettes).

Absolutely. Many issues with 🇬🇧 housing are exacerbated by landlordism, rent-seeking in the truest sense.

I'm almost too angry to put in words all the ways their state-sanctioned greed has impoverished the nation. The situation can only improve by them rage-quitting.

Abject market failure.
