I've been to weddings that had an "open" ceremony and a closed reception. This has generally been at a church, where the wedding itself is announced to the whole church community, but then the reception is a more limited numb

In the US this is generally true as well. It’s not that there will be security at the door checking invitations, but it’s be very rude to show up to a wedding ceremony you weren’t invited to.

The thing I've seen at a few weddings recently is that right after the processional, they have a period of like 30 seconds where they allow everyone to take a picture of the couple, then phones away for the rest of the ceremony. I&#x27

I’m currently wedding planning and regularly visit a wedding planning forum. I was left flabbergasted the other day when someone posted if it would be ok to ask guests to not post pictures of the couple on social media. They’re ok with gues

Not having touched Silksong yet, I'd recommend playing the Hollow Knight first. It holds up really well and is absolutely worth a play through. I think sometimes a sequel releases and it makes the original feel hard to go back to, if i

> I also think even without the medication the diagnosis is worth it. Yeah, I think our society views so many symptoms of ADHD as the worst type of personal failings, so I think there's a level of trauma associated with growing up u

I think especially as adults (esp. people that managed to get to adulthood without being diagnosed), a lot of people think they don't have certain symptoms, when really they just have developed elaborate systems for managing those symp

A few years ago, at least in my field, there was definitely a trend of people at least doing twitter threads explaining the key findings of their papers. It's obviously less in-depth than a blog post would be, but it was still usually

If you like codenames, you might also enjoy decrypto [1], it scratches a very similar part of my brain. There's a set of secret words, and the codemaster needs to give clues that are specific enough that if you know the secret words, y

Null hypotheses are often idealized distributions that are mathematically convenient and are often over-simplifications of the distributions we'd expect if there were truly no effect (because the expected distributions are either intra

If you haven't already, you should look into some stretches for tension headaches. For me at least, they don't make the headache go away completely (because often dehydration is a factor as well), but they sure take the edge off.

I feel like if the university has an issue with it, this could all be fixed by just adding course waitlists. Which is how it was handled at both my undergrad and grad university

A Dark Room ( https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/ ) is fantastic as well. It's not only a clicker/idle game, but it incorporates the mechanics in an interesting way. On the whole, I've had to adopt a policy

I've never thought about it before but mine is definitely counter clock-wise as well, though NYE can be either at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock. Brains are weird things.

I appreciate the parent commenter complaining about how they were looking for something just to get ads instead, and getting a response telling them to buy something. That said, I'll also second the back mechanic book for anyone with b

I always read it as meaning something like "unfazed" before seeing someone get corrected on it.

I agree that R/ggplot is often more straightforward, but the main reason I (and most colleagues I've worked with) tend to use matplotlib is just a preference for python over R in general (to each their own though, that's not

I really like the Refold 1k decks. They're paid but have good audio (both the word and example sentences), the definitions and examples are well edited, and unlike most "top 1000 word" type decks, are curated to remove common

I'm so sorry for your loss. In my first year of college, I lost a close friend in a similar way. Perfectly healthy 18-year-old girl. Went to sleep in her dorm one night and never woke up. It was my first real experience with death, at

Oh, I do completely agree and didn't mean to imply otherwise. I have had experiences where reviewers have given me great ideas for new experiments or ways to present things. But the most useful ones usually are the "wtf?" typ

I agree. My own most influential paper received strong rejects the first time we submitted it, and rightfully so, I think. In retrospect, we didn't do a good job motivating it, the contributions weren't clearly presented, and the

I'll second Patagonia. I have a zip-up sweater of theirs that was around a decade old that still looked brand new despite wearing it at least once a week and I got the zipper stuck in something and it broke. They replaced the zipper no

I think it may also be missing a step 0, which is "Identify that there exists a problem". I find that this is often an entirely distinct step from Step 1, which is it's own hill to climb. I'm in CS research (with most of

Yeah, sorry about that. I meant the cross body sling, with the roll top. I do know someone as well that has the shoulder bag and likes it, but I can't personally speak to it.

I have a few retractable multi-cables (micro USB, usb-c, lightning) and they bring me joy every time I use them. No hunting for or switching out different cables. No dongles. No long cords cluttering the space. I think everyone I know that

I've had to institute a blanket "no clicker game" policy for myself because I find them way too addicting. The frustrating thing about most (but not all) clicker games is that for me, they usually don't even feel good (e
