Did my good deed the other night, telling a guy on the subway that his phone light was on.

Couldn't think of how to say it in Spanish, so just said it in English, louder.

I hadn't thought that's what I'd be talking about at lab meeting, but ended up giving a short impassioned plea about why we don't do covariate selection in model building. H/t
@f2harrell.bsky.social for filling important holes in my education.

Maybe Thanksgiving weekend is the time for a @danielpinkwater thank-you post. I'm in high school, browsing the used SF bookstore in Harvard Square, when I take a curiously thin book off the shelf. _Fat Men From Space_. Flying saucers? Potato pancakes? I read the whole thing while I stand there.

I've started cooking my sausages on the Kelvin temperature scale, and now they are all absolute bangers.
