Looking at http://britrail.eurail.com/#/pass/britrail_passes/ if I am reading it correctly the pass is cheaper for a peak time return from Manchester to London then buying tickets from Virgin. What am I missing?

In General Relativity the covariant derivative of contravariant vectors $A^\mu$ is: \begin{equation} \nabla_\mu A^\nu=\partial_\mu A^\nu+\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\alpha}A^\alpha \end{equation} where $\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\alpha}$ are Christoffel symbols. My question: how do we prove it verifies the Leibniz pr...

So with the end of 32-bit App support, I was thinking maybe if I run across an app that I really need to run than will no long run post 10.15, that it might be a good idea to have an older version on a small partition for this purpose. I was personally due to my likening of that version of OSX t...

If a function is differentiable everywhere, does it imply that the limit at $\pm \infty$ is either finite or it diverges to $\pm \infty$?

I have a Paterson Universal Tank for developing film. It's written underneath that for 35mm we need 290ml to fill. I plan to put in 500ml into it. Simply because it's easier to make the solution. I see that the tank can hold up to 600ml-700ml. Will it affect the final result of development if...

I've seen that there was a single-sorted definition of a category. In some ways, it seems more understandable than the original definition. I don't know much about category theory. But I would like to know how each definition is useful.

When having a 50mm lens made for a APS-C camera its often the case that the lens has a focal length of 50mm on fullframe. However this means that you are getting something like a 75mm due to the crop factor. I wondered, if you take a medium format camera and buy a medium format lens, like a 50m...

I have been playing along with a couple of Pavement songs which are in DADABE tuning, so that the G string has to be tuned one tone higher to an A. It has happened to me in the past to do something similar with no problems, but this time the G string broke twice in one week, so after tuning up ju...

Vizier of the Menagerie says "You may look at the top card of your library," and Mindslaver says you "make all decisions for the player." What I'm wondering is can the player who's being controlled see the top card of their library as their turn is taken for them? In other words, if I'm Mindslav...

The other day, our team went to an escape room. One of the puzzles involved a board of six mechanical switches where you had to find the correct combination of on and off in order to unlock a box, somewhat like this: -v-v-v- -v-v-v- Being developers, we decided it would be more efficient to tr...

This is a piece taken from the Wikipedia page for the Jason-1 satellite used to measure sea level rise. Although the 1993–2005 Topex/Poseidon satellite measured an average annual Global Mean Sea Level rise of 3.1 mm/year, Jason-1 is measuring only 2.3 mm/year GMSL rise, and the Envisat satell...

I see in all tutorials or sources, everybody creates a project on some IDEs and then loads code to the MCU again via those IDEs. So I am curious about what is sent to the MCU? Is it a sequence of binary numbers or some different file? Is there one file that I can just send it to the MCU without...

The College of Glamour bard's Mantle of Inspiration feature (XGtE, p. 14) is worded this way: As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself a wondrous appearance. When you do so, choose a number of creatures you can see and who can see you within 60 fe...

In Dutch there is the expression "Nee heb je, ja kan je krijgen." This roughly means that being told "no" after asking for something is only as bad as never asking in the first place. Is there a more convenient English expression for this?

I'm trying to build the following circuit Except mine is a 24V ~20A (500W) motor, so I need to swap the components. I'm currently looking into transistors and I've stopped on the 2N6284 (NPN) transistor, which is rated at 100V 20A. This basically means it's good to up to 2000W (right?), but it...

A non-empty array A consisting of N integers is given. The array contains an odd number of elements, and each element of the array can be paired with another element that has the same value, except for one element that is left unpaired. For example, in array A such that: A[0] = 9 A[...

I'm learning about centripetal force and I was shown a scenario where a man was spinning a rope attached to a ball over his head. There's a centripetal acceleration toward the center and therefore a force must be acting in the same direction as the centripetal acceleration — the centripetal force...

How does an air conditioner work? A thermodynamics textbook discusses this topic in a fairly abstract way (notes): A refrigerator or heat pump is a device which, with work input, moves thermal energy from cold regions to hot regions. Without the work input, this could not be achieved, as it ...

The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation: Fn = Fn−1 + Fn−2, where F1 = 1 and F2 = 1. Hence the first 12 terms will be: F1 = 1 F2 = 1 F3 = 2 F4 = 3 F5 = 5 F6 = 8 F7 = 13 F8 = 21 F9 = 34 F10 = 55 F11 = 89 F12 = 144 The 12th term, F1...

The problem is: What value of $x$ will make $y$ a maximum in the equation $$y = \frac{x}{(a^2 + x^2)}$$ I successfully differentiate, equate to zero, and wind up with $$x^2 = a^2$$ Which gives me the answer of $$x = a$$ This is correct. But why isn't $x = -a$ also correct?

The Hindu religion says that individual people suffer for their sins and get rewarded for their merits. My question is, do groups of people, like entire countries, suffer punishment for their sins? In the course of human history, at some times countries will harbor evil ideologies, evil rulers,...

Evaluate the limit $$\lim_{n\to \infty} \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{4j^{2}}{n^3}.$$ I was under the assumption that this would just tend to $0$ after expanding everything because the denominator will grow quicker than the numerator, but apparently this is not the case.
