Hypothetically, could the U.S. Congress abolish itself and transfer all power to the President? I'm thinking of a scenario where Congress amends the Constitution and gives all power the President, while also removing it's own power.

I was on a flight from Philadelphia (KPHL) to Boston (KBOS), after some delay and some change of route due to weather, the captain announced that we will be cruising at 7000' due to delays in the area.

So I'm having trouble trying to solve this problem: Let $a$ and $b$ be two real numbers such that $a \geqslant b \geqslant 1$. Using the Mean value Theorem prove that $$\ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)\leqslant a-b$$ I honestly don't even know how to start, so I was wondering if someone could ...

I came across the following exercise: suppose we have a topology on an infinite set $X$ which contains all infinite subsets of $X$. Prove that the topology is discrete. Here's a way to approach this: pick two disjoint infinite subsets $A$ and $B$ of $X$. For any $x\in X$, $A\cup\left\{x\right\...

Here is the smart contract. The gas usage for this contract is constantly growing. All state variables are initialized at deployment and never changed. Signers array is about 2-3 in size no more. And this contract started from using 150,000 gas to right now 600,000. Is there any visible issue w...

Conservation of charge or rest mass can be written in this way and it is Lorentz invariant $$ \nabla \cdot (\rho \mathbf{u}) + \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} = 0 $$ So we could be tempted to naively write conservation of energy in this way (I use $\gamma_u$ for particle in motion at speed $\mat...

I want to write a symbol like the one shown in the following image but I can't make it work. I tried: $$ \underbar{\nabla} $$ but it didn't work (I think the reason for this is that the input for the underbar command should be only text. How can I make this work ?

I decided on my supervisor because he is the only professor working in this field in my country, and he is very resourceful.

Recently I've been making rice, but my rice is always a bit moister than I'd like. Normally it is visibly wet and somewhat sticky. My normal recipe is: Add a lot of water to a pan. Bring water to boil. Add rice. Move lid to be partially on. Keeping the water boiling. (Fairly large bubbles, ~2...

When using the same code, simply changing the compiler (from a C compiler to a C++ compiler) will change how much memory is allocated.

I wish to simulate the behaviour of a double-pendulum-like system.

$$Drag = \frac{1}{2}C_d \rho Av^2$$ I understand that the strength of the drag depends on the density of the fluid the body passes through, the reference area of the body, the drag coefficient, and the velocity of the object. I don't, however, understand the 1/2 and the $v^2$ in the equation.

Generally, I do all of my quotes online instead of dealing with an agent. They've always asked if the car is leased, financed, or owned.

We know from the torah that eating or drinking on Yom Kippur is forbidden. Yoma (in chapter 8) lists some exceptions that all have to do with extreme need (health). But, aside from pikuach nefesh, we don't eat or drink on Yom Kippur. I was therefore surprised to learn, in Yoma 6:5, that when t...

One of the assumptions in a model is the conditional dependence between random variables in the joint prior distribution. Consider the following model, $$p(a,b|X) \propto p(X|a,b)p(a,b)$$ Now suppose an independence assumption for the prior $p(a,b) = p(a)p(b)$. Does this assumption imply the po...

After a couple iterations I came up with the "skeleton" or summary of my story. I have read many places and guides saying "if it's not advancing the story and can be removed without affecting it, then it shouldn't be there". The problem is that if I just go jumping from point A to B, it feels m...

I recently got puzzled as to why the Russian journalists spell the surname of the current Turkish president as Эрдоган. We spell it as エルドアン, which does not include the г sound. The Koreans spell his surname as 에르도안, which does not include the г sound either. In the original language, Turkish, ...

Online and also in messages from my French friend I see the indicative used where according to what I’ve learned it would technically be the subjunctive. Is it not used in informal settings? Like I’ve seen “Je suis content que tu l’as aimé” instead of “tu l’aies aimé”.

I remember learning that we cannot know which commandments are more important than which others -- God gave them all to us and we don't say that we prioritize some over others (aside from the special priority to save a person's life).

Infocom's Z-Machine, designed in 1979, compresses text using a basic 5 bit code which is not very efficient in practice, achieving maybe a 1.5:1 compression ratio.

I have two points in OSGB 1936 (EPSG 27700): A: 308188.48 608846.16 B: 308288.48 608846.16 Distance Matrix produces a result between A and B which is not exactly 100m (100.03935792736038 to be precise!). Why is that?

Is there any combination of up to six chromatic notes that could not be classified and named as a chord? Can anyone give me an example and explanation if so?

Okay I admit I'm new to D&D. I've been playing for 2 years now and only been playing 5e. I don't learn by reading the entire manual in one sitting, I have learnt everything from actually playing the game through trial and error and observing others. And I like to think it has worked, but I get th...

I’m designing a human Bronze Age civilization on a world with only ⅓ of Earth’s gravity. This reduced gravity will allow humans to jump much higher than they could on Earth. It will also allow humans to climb much further and much faster given their reduced weight. This seems to me like it would ...

This is a very basic beginners question about Chern-Simons theory. The configurations that we sum over to get the partition function are given by a Lie-algebra valued 1-form $A$ on a topological 3-manifold, called the connection. More precisely, $A$ is a connection of a principal Lie-group bundle...

For the purposes of this question, assume I am of a legal status which prevents me from exiting the US. If I was to identify myself to CBP, I run a high risk of being denied entry and/or having my status invalidated. I have a friend who I would like to visit, but they're unable to secure a US Vis...

Madam Hooch role is described as Hogwarts' flying instructor. Even though she does teach magic, she is not addressed as a professor. I would imagine that, just like in the real world, to be called professor you would have to study yourself and have a degree, however, when Hagrid became the 'Care ...

How to plot a function $f(x)=\frac{3(4+x)}{3(2-x)-16}$ (say $x \in [-15,15]$ ) with the condition that i want to give different color for each of the following cases (i) when $\frac{x+4}{3x+10}>0$ and $\frac{x^2+8x+12}{3x+10}>0$ (ii) when $\frac{x+4}{3x+10}>0$ and $\frac{x^2+8x+12}{3x+10}<0$ (...

In a polygon, if all the sides are equal, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the polygon is regular (eg. a rhombus). Is this also true for angles? Meaning can you draw a polygon whose interior angles are equal, but the shape is still not regular? I couldn’t think of any examples, but I’m sure there...

If we want to repair ourselves can someone tell me how much time this could take? What materials I need and how much it will cost? If in your o...

I recently saw a video talking about different kinds of players in DnD and I always understood that people play the game for different reasons. I myself am a roleplayer and enjoy the conversations and acting side of things. But its becoming clear that our group is getting more and more chaotic st...

So I wanted to practice the usage of std::forward and created a Test class with 2 constructors. 1 with T& and the other with T&& as overload. T& prints lvalue, and T&& prints rvalue so I know which one of the constructors is being used. I create 2 instances of class on stack and to my surprise bo...
