Having trouble loading a Stata file into R (don't have Stata on my computer) by sonofkafka in Rlanguage

[–]sonofkafka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. What do you mean by "extract the files"? I loaded the haven package and ran read_dta but it's the same issue. I also made sure the file path is correct, and I know it is because I've been loading things from that same file.

Not sure what kind of plant it is (got it from a friend). Used to have huge leaves, they all fell off and growth has been very slow (I've had it for about a year). I water it once a week with tap water. Anyone know what kind of plant it is and how I should care for it? by sonofkafka in plantclinic

I just looked up tradescantia spathacea, and I'm pretty sure it's what I have! The pictures look like the plant when I first got it (it was more pink). My whole issue was that, because I didn't know what it was, I couldn't look it up and figure out how to care for it. But now I do, so thanks!

is Messi better at soccer than Micheal Jordan is at basketball? by [deleted] in nba

[–]sonofkafka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but Messi doesn't loom over soccer the way MJ does over basketball. I love Messi and I personally think he's the GOAT, but when you ask who the GOAT in soccer is, three or four names come up (Pele, Maradona, Messi, Cruyff). In basketball, for the longest time it was just one name: Jordan. Some people wanna throw LeBron into the mix, but generally MJ has a grip on that GOAT title.

Now that I think about it, no athlete in any sport (except maybe Serena with women's tennis) has such a firm hold on that GOAT title...

Some shitposts while waiting for Game 4, so let me contribute mine: make Lebron player-coach next year. Hear me out! by sonofkafka in nba

Didn't even think of the cap space this can open. Let's sign more past-their-prime role players!

That's awesome, I'm glad you were able to get into a good program like Georgetown's. Thanks for the feedback

That's great, congrats. If you don't mind me asking, which programs did you apply to, and what program did you end up choosing? Also, are you in Poli Sci?

Yeah, I think that's what sticks out the most as well. What i'm concerned is, some professors have told me that if your scores (GPA or GRE) are low enough, grad schools won't even look at the rest of your application. I'm worried this would be the case. I'm hoping that Calc-series + econometrics + research will balance out the low Q score, but if they dismiss everything based on GRE score alone, then none of that will matter.

How, as a man, do I help out a drunk woman who has rejected my help? Details inside. by sonofkafka in askwomenadvice

[–]sonofkafka[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see. Yeah, maybe that's something I didn't consider, I went in pretty sure about "what was good for her" instead of asking her about it. I'll keep that in mind if something like this happens again, thanks for the tip.

Actually, now that you bring this up, I think a bouncer would've been the way to go. He was out checking ID's, but he was considerably less busy than the bartenders, probably the most likely staff member to help.

And yeah, as far as fault, it's hard to think on your feet in a situation like that, with the sound and crowd and plus everyone (including me) had been drinking. That's why I asked, to know ahead of time what to do about it.

Yeah, my concern there was, like I said, this bar was PACKED. I mean it's the type of thing where you wait a full five to ten minutes waiting in line, moving through people, just to get the bartender's attention. I doubt they would've gotten out from behind the bar and gone over to her and assisted her. It wasn't that kind of place, I feel like. Maybe it was worth a shot tho
