long shot, but does anyone have icelandic poppy seeds I could buy in the carrboro area? I would love some locally-successful poppies in white/peach/orange colors (like the champagne bubbles variety) to start over winter! #carrboro #chapelhill #gardening
@Ruth_Mottram seconding Azul, Hanabi, and Sushi Go as fitting this bill! Azul has multiple versions, we like the original and the stained glass version but didn't love summer pavilion!
Help me @ggwash and others! I'm looking for examples of road widening projects that failed to reduce congestion (lol) for a ~thesis~ project. State DOT websites just want to show me projects that are currently approved or in progress, but I'm looking for road expansions that were *completed* maybe 2016-2018, so there would have been several years of traffic response to the expansion pre-COVID. Any MD/VA ideas?

does anyone in Carrboro need MULCH? I accidentally came into possession of an enormous pile of hardwood woodchips…

Does anyone have any readings about evaluating the quality of matches when using a matching approach to causal inference (ideally k-nearest neighbor w/ Mahalonobis distance, not PSM)? How to double-check that your matching is at least somewhat adequately accounting for confounders that go along with self-selection into the treatment? #causalinference #impactevaluation #statistics

BONUS for some kind of placebo test - match a subset of the control pop. (a "pseudo-treatment") to other controls.
