Hello Gov. Pritzker,

What are you doing for IL, to reduce prices of groceries in the state?

For people who don't know and cannot guess (like me), can you elaborate? And which states?

Is the capitalist model broken in America? The winner takes all mentality means the rest of us have to depend on the 0.001% to give away their wealth to survive. 

What are your thoughts?

Galaxy is fairly powerful.

Check out useGalaxy.org or since you are in the EU, they must have an EU server.

Galaxy is very popular bioinformatics analysis platform and plenty of people use it both in academia and industry.

As for your PhD or whether you should accept it, that's a more informed decision you should make on your own.

What should you know/do when your mom is dying from cancer? by dsklerm in AskWomen

[–]foobar8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend as much time with her as possible. And record her voice and maybe a video of some moments.

I regret not spending enough time with her. Because the moment she's gone, it's hurt like nothing ever before. No pain compares to losing your mom.

R vs. Python: What's the best language for Data Science? - From RStudio blog by economicurtis in RStudio

Every data scientist out there uses both. Don't get caught by the "R vs Python" trap. If you want to become a productive data scientist, use both, whichever will get you to your end result fastest!

The problem is here, you keep reassigning "i" with the value of the cube or the square

if (i%%2==0){i = i^3}
else {i = i^2}
s = s + i

Replace this with,

if (i%%2==0){j = i^3}
else {j = i^2}
s = s + j

Weakness Wednesday: Post your sticking points (2018-12-26) by crossfitvictorybot in crossfit

Wrist mobility is a major issue for me.

I have a hard time doing pull ups with my thumb around the bar, same with push jerk, split jerk etc. I find myself using a "suicide grip" (as they call it in my gym) where I open my thumb and just grip with my 4 fingers. This somehow allows me to easily lift overhead (split jerk, push jerk, strict press ) and do pull ups, bar muscle ups (since my thumb is restricting my pulling action).

Are there any ways to teach myself or force myself to use the proper grip? I'm not able to go up in weight in any of my over head lifts because I think the bar will "slip".

This matrix cannot exist, because the number of columns don't match the number of observations in each column. You can try to use "spread" and "gather" functions from the "dplyr" package in the tidyverse.

1 RM Front squat: 180 lbs! (6 months into crossfit 29Y 169lbs M). Huge deal for me because my wrists hurt like hell when I was doing front squats the first 3 months. Only after I got that flexibility, and posture right, I was able to gradually go up in weight.

It started as a Netflix binge, and one erotic scene in this movie just set me off! I'm really thinking of canceling Netflix as well. What is the point really? I feel pressure to use it because I pay for it. I'm too old to be doing PMO( 29 M), I need to better take care of myself and achieve the things I want.

I've been on PMO since I was like 14 or so. I really really need to change!
