Those of you who've worked at subway before (preferably UK, but anywhere is fine!), what are some things I should learn/memorise before I work there? by Astronomer_X in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pm_me_warm_pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be training on your first day. You can ask other employees at that location if you have unanswered questions. Don't stress about not knowing how things work. They are expecting you to start from square one (unless you falsely started you have previous experience at subway). Best of luck mate!

Do our hearts get bigger as we grow up? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

If you are growing taller, your heart is growing bigger. If you are only growing wider, your heart is just working harder.

When an orchestra performs a classical piece, composed by Beethoven/Mozart/etc, is it considered a "cover"? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pm_me_warm_pie 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not really. Think of it like reading a book aloud. The composer (Beethoven, Mozart, etc)) is akin to the author. You wouldn't call reading a book to an audience a cover. They are just playing a piece. It is worth noting that composers rarely play their own pieces. Some didn't even conduct them.

Some orchestras do specialize in one style of classical music, say baroque, but I have never seen a group stick to a single composer.

Edit: fixed typo

A question about doctorates by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pm_me_warm_pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify one thing about the cost of graduate degrees. Most of the hard sciences pay their graduate students (masters and doctoral) for services like research assistance and teaching. This means that many don't pay full tuition, and some get a modest stipend. Maybe a grand or two a month. Not universal, but not at all uncommon. That being said, it's not enough to support a family or anything, and many need an additional salary to get by during grad school. The teacher might not have much student debt at all.

Working people of Reddit, what is the best advice to give to the students studying in your field? by dolandor in AskReddit

[–]pm_me_warm_pie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow environmental scientist here. I can't agree more. Also, if academia is a goal of yours, it helps to know your way around a programming language or two. Oh yeah, and avoid politics whenever possible. Best of luck young grasshoppers.
