hey #energysky really cool example by @lerayner.bsky.social using #rstats to do prediction modeling of electric vehicle market share vs. gasoline cars.
Introducing Thresholds Tab
It's essentially several of the tables posted as an image, just nicer. Also there's a custom column so you can make your own ranking for a specific percentage.

Jede 2. 🇨🇭 Trinkwasserprobe ist mit PFAS belastet. Dennoch gilt das als unbedenklich, weil wir hohe Grenzwerte haben. In 🇩🇪 oder 🇩🇰 sind die Wert strenger und 3% bzw 30% dieser Proben wären bedenklich. Die Schweiz wollte Werte verschärfen, hat das aber verschoben 🤷♀️. Mehr hier👇

Qualtrics conjoint folks (using Leeper code): do you have any tips/tricks for how to make it look good on mobile (or at least not look awful)? Looks fine on desktop, but mobile is a mess (and study population prob mostly mobile). Keen to not reinvent the wheel if this is already solved.

Was mir Hoffnung macht sind die vielen Menschen, die auf die Strasse gehen und teils gar ihr Leben riskieren, um für die Demokratie zu demonstrieren. Ganz im Gegensatz zur politischen und wirtschaftlichen Elite, die sich in Unterwürfigkeit überbietet.

In the Swiss canton of Nidwalden, government elections have been suspended because *no counter-candidates are running*.
This is not only problematic from a theoretical point of view, but also reveals how depoliticized elections in Switzerland - especially on the regional level - have become.
