Just realized that I moved to Norway ten years ago today. Feels like a very long and a very short time simultaneously.

The 🍗 or the 🍳? #TidyTuesday

Looking at the ingredients of over 2000 recipes online, where are different cuisines found on the chicken vs. egg (x-axis) and butter vs. oil (y-axis) scales?

As a Scandinavian, I guess I'm part of the egg+butter outlier!

Code: github.com/borstell/tid...

#R4DS

A scatterplot on a cream white background with the title "The chicken 🐓 or the egg 🥚?". The square grid is split by four reddish arrows pointing outwards north/south/east/west. A textbox in the top left reads "Based on 2,218 recipes categorized by the cuisine (country, region, culture), this graph shows the proportional frequency of the ingredients chicken vs. egg (x-axis) & butter vs. oil (y-axis) mentioned across recipes of each cuisine". Each point and text in the plot indicates where on a scale from chicken (left) to egg (right) and butter (top) to oil (bottom) the cuisine is located. Turkish is found at the very center of the plot, Chinese and Thai in the bottom left (chicken & oil), whereas Austrian/German/Swiss and particularly Scandinavian are in the top right (egg & butter). An arrow points at the top right data point saying "Scandinavian cuisine is a clear outlier". Visualization: C.

I won't say this is *every* paper, but I have trouble remembering any that weren't like this

Cartoon timeline titled 'Typical Timeline for a Scientific Paper by @redpenblackpen'. Start. Outline. Rough draft. v1. FINAL draft! (all clustered at the left). On top of the timeline: when you thought you'd have it submitted, Original submission deadlin, Original publication deadline. Then a space and 'Preprint? Sure, why not?' '*Really* FINAL DRAFT. (on top of timeline) Project Ends. (underneath timeline) draft_v5_final_reallyfinal_thistimeImeanit.docx. (on top) weeping. gnashing of teeth. (on bottom) Holy crap guys. Then 'what the hell is this?' - pointing to a break in the timeline. Then 'submitted'. (on top) a sign pointing off the end of the timeline into the future "Accepted for Publication. 6 months-10 years"

Kildekritikk: se på hvordan partiene har stemt i stedet for å kun basere seg på valgkampløfter. Betryggende at resultatet stemmer godt overens med valget mitt.

Viser seg at regnskapstallene på den brukte kilden partifinansiering.no opplyser om summen mottatt fra privatpersoner og kommersielle foretak (og lite overraskende liker sistenevnte å sponse de borgerlige).
