- A short animation where everything is tiny and made of felt. A kettle is boiling on a stove. A hand reaches out to turn it off and pours the water into a red and black check hot water bottle. A yellow and black check table lamp is switched on. It's standing in front of a book case full of multicoloured books. A fire is lit in the fireplace. On the mantelpiece are two photographs and a pot plant. A cup of tea is placed on a table next to a blue and white check sofa. (remote)

We can tell who's colorblind when we play Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails. Somebody inevitably comments that the red vehicle cards and routes are hard to tell apart from the pinkish purple ones. But they aren't colorblind. The folks with red-green colorblindness have no problem: "They couldn't be more different!"
🤯
Side note: the game does not use color alone: they also have different symbols on them. They can be hard to make out, though - a bit more contrast would be nice.

officer/rvg are GREAT packages to export ggplot2 (R plots) to editable Powerpoint slides.
Saves me heaps time when I make plots for others: everybody wants to change a bunch of details. Now they do that themselves in Powerpoint with my 'base' plot.

major seekrit project accomplishments today:
bigass buttons and color-blind-friendly visual state cues on all forms
each & every possible way you can fail to request a new account gets you a meaningful error message, & a success gets you into pending & an email w one-time-only 2FA authorization key & instructions on what to do to move it from pending to active
a reaper wakes up every m minutes, searches pending for requests older than x minutes, kills them all, & goes back to sleep
