Palindromic place names in Switzerland 🇨🇭
Of the over 35,000 official place names in the #swissNAMES3D dataset, (only) 13 are palindromes.
Idea by @dgplacenames, found at @_ansgar
Data: geo.admin.ch
Created in #rstats
Christmas spirit sprinkled with a little bit of 8-bit, a large portion of #tidyverse, spiced up with some ffmpeg magic and voilà: 🎄#rstats
Wir wünschen frohe Festtage und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! 🎄🎄
Und so ist er entstanden, unser Weihnachtsbaum: github.com/zumbov2/Christmas…

Seit nun 7 Wochen läuft die #Migros-Förderaktion «Support your Sport», bei der Schweizer Sportvereine durch das Sammeln von Vereinsbons an CHF 3 Mio. partizipieren können.
Wir haben die neuesten Zahlen angeschaut und wagen eine erste kleine Hochrechnung.

Playing around with the fantastic and free geodata from @swiss_geoportal. Spatial kernel smoothing of ~40k geo-ref'd place names.
BTW, {swissgd} an #rstats wrapper around the services is now ready to be tested:

Do Switzerland's staggered ⛷ vacations qualify as a natural experiment to investigate the effect of school closures on the spread of #COVID19? Asking for a friend. 😉@marcelsalathe @C_Althaus @SwissScience_TF

spent some time today using #RStats to build color palettes from every @ballparkmusic album and then turned them into a groovy poster!
thanks @dataandme & @DavidZumbach for this cool package and @AnnaHenschel for putting this on my timeline!

This is not only cool, it is awesome. 🙏
