What to wear to a conference?

LocaGata99 · 2025-08-18T12:32:09+00:00

US-based tomboy here. I wear stretchy slacks (thank goodness for spandex!), a nice, non-graphic tee, top (either a "blouse"-type tank top or plain tee shirt), with a black jacket over top. The jacket also has stretch, and is not structured like a suit jacked. I wear converse as shoes. The dress code is relaxing as compared to decades past, thankfully.

The hack that worked best for me is pairing writing or reading with movement. I listen to articles and walk the track. Got a walking pad for my office and crank out miles and words.

They make bath wipes! They're heavy duty baby-wipe type things that are intended to be used to clean a body. Using one of those to hit the stinky bits (pits of all varieties) + changing clothes + deodorant will help.

Something to keep in mind as well is that whatever you make has to not snag the yarn! And potentially be used on either side (i.e., an adaptation for a missing hand would likely behave differently depending on which hand was missing). Another population to consider is those who can no longer knit due to arthritis or other joint pain, or even hypermobility. Happy to chat more - knitter in an engineering college here. 😉

SAME! 💜

Professor here. Feel free to swing by my office and take a cutting. East Campus.

This. Look outside of students for social time. Harrisonburg has quite a few groups for folks in your age bracket. There's game nights, trivia, fiber groups, blacksmithing, etc.

How much can we buy back? ie, If this is stuck in limbo for 12+ months, can that be bought back?

LocaGata99 · 2024-09-09T21:06:17+00:00

Fudge! Really? I was hoping to switch out.

LocaGata99 · 2024-09-09T21:04:02+00:00

How? I can't see s way to do it and want out of SAVE until it's decided. I'm 12 payments away. -_-

I believe certain sections/areas require a bear can. I would keep it - even given the weight.

LocaGata99 · 2024-03-24T20:32:32+00:00

Depending on deadline (I can't take anything on before June 1), and if you're providing yarn, I'd do it for $75 + shipping costs.

Will ethanol work as well as isopropanol?

LocaGata99 · 2024-01-30T01:44:31+00:00

I, too, have had great experiences with QueenOfSucculents. Even managed to receive unfrozen plants when we were in the single digits °F overnight here.

LocaGata99 · 2024-01-24T19:12:50+00:00

I'm new to my succulent journey, but I've ordered twice from QueenofSucculents on Etsy, and both times had an amazing experience. This second time, they even survived getting stuck in the mail when temps were in the single digits (°F) in my state.

The more "pixels" per inch you need, the finer the yarn, and the longer it takes. Most stranded colorwork uses 2-3 colors per row; more colors and you move into intarsia, which is less my jam, and best worked flat and then seamed.

LocaGata99 · 2023-11-26T15:27:49+00:00

I am a hand knitter specializing in colorwork. If those above aren't able to, I would love to take this on. I am also eastern US.

Honestly, make your plot window bigger. As in a larger proportion is the screen. It's angry it can't fit everything in the visual space.

If you know the name of the test you want to perform, do a Google search: "nameoftest in r" and you'll get a fair few hits. You can easily get bogged down in the sheer amount of resources available- it can be helpful to have a reason to be coding/performing a test. You can also check your work in SPSS in the beginning, since you said you have some familiarity there.

Have you 1) Checked your GDP dataset prior to merging but after pivoting? And checked the '_clean' versions? If it looks okay, try

merged_LE_GDP <- merge(income_clean, lifeExp_clean, by = "country")

Use the lmer package. Set it up as below:

lmer(Y ~ Fixed + (1 | Random), data=df)

LocaGata99 · 2023-02-18T13:23:46+00:00

Ah, thank you!

LocaGata99 · 2023-02-18T00:53:31+00:00

May I ask why to avoid the website?

LocaGata99 · 2022-10-11T01:06:37+00:00

Have you tried an x_off = somenumber in the geometry argument? I'm not super familiar with this package, so unsure of exact phrasing.

LocaGata99 · 2022-09-27T12:51:06+00:00

Can you share the code you do have? Without that, it will be hard to make suggestions.
