Sussex here. Yep, I can confirm twitten. Even used as proper road names in 9 locations in West Sussex. Here's one in Crawley...

$bob <- st_read(geodata, layer = "TSS Checklist", query = "SELECT * FROM \"TSS Checklist\" WHERE Street LIKE '%TWITTEN%'") bob <- bob |> select(USRN, Street) mapview(bob)$ Twitten used as road name

Can I assume github co-pilot isn't the steaming dog turd that vanilla co-pilot is?

Unsurprisingly it was a CORS error... everything is _always_ a CORS error. It works now!

Yeah, Ken. You took it too far 😂

Not a problem. The personal glory would be bad if it wasn't for the humility with which individuals readily answer follow up questions. The willingness to help each other is what makes this space great.

Like in 10^1000 years, eh? Probably time for another coffee.

Still, it's amazing how much time passed in the universe before anything could happen and how long after everything that could happen has happened before the universe is finally snuffed out. Makes you wonder if time is just an abstract.

This is how you can generate lollipop charts in #tidyplots 🍭

Hey #RStats folks, I need some help. I think I understand how to use dots. You know, the `...` in functions. Other times, I'm humbled when trying to use them in my own functions.

Any good resources that helped make their use 'just click' for you?

Quarto has a way to collapse code, but what if you want to collapse code OUTPUT?

The amazing @mickael.canouil.fr created an extension that does just that!!!

Well, @maprva.org has some late 1990s Oregon Hill RVA pics up... how much of a nudge will it take to get @dfrsh757.bsky.social to jump on that?

Forget #GoogleMaps. OpenStreetMaps forever 🗺️ 💪 @cosmogenetic.bsky.social · 2d

And what’s even more awesome, there are special apps like every-door.app to make it even more easy and convenient to update #shops, #businesses and other POI’s on #OpenStreetMap (you do need an openstreetmap account for that)

I'm learning QGIS for a class and it is a very frustrating experience. Doing anything requires 400 clicks. Whenever I use it I just wish there was a program that let you just type what you want and get a map out. They could integrate it with a statistical program and call it ggmap
