Hi there!

Welcome to our daily scheduled post, the Daily Slow Chat.

If you want to just chat about your day, if you have questions for the moderators (please mark these [Mod] so we can find them), or if you just want talk about oatmeal then this is the thread for you!

Enjoying the small talk? We have a Discord server too! We'd love to have more of you over there. Do both of us a favour and use this link to join the fun.

The mod-team wishes you a nice day!

  1. [Mod] how do I add custom flair properly. Every time I do it, it seems to reset to none after a few hours.

    I choose the customer flair option, then click edit and type 🇮🇪 -> 🇩🇪 it usually only appears for the one session, next time I log in it’s gone.

  2. I’m excited for the opening ceremony of the Olympics tonight. I’m guessing it’ll be quite a spectacle.

  3. I was watching a women’s football game yesterday and it got me thinking, do countries send the same teams to Olympic football as the other big championships (like the ones that just ended)? I am guessing that many teams are quite tired right now.

    We have a defense today. It’s always nice of course, to see a student finish. I get very nervous for them 😬 (funny because I am never nervous when I give talks myself). But what I probably won’t see today are… spring rolls.

    In a lab that I worked, we had a PhD defense by a Vietnamese student. I think the entire community must have come together for the defense, and they made an absolute mountain of steaming, crispy, delicious spring rolls for the after-party. I have never tasted spring rolls that good before or after. Since then, I associate defenses with spring rolls (unfortunately they’re usually lukewarm sparkling wine and maybe a generic appetizer or two).

    Is there anything you would love to taste once more, but can’t?
