With my bike, in the front I just push the axle all the way onto the front fork, then tighten it, perfectly centered and straight.

I don't just mean tides or large-scale floods and droughts but a premise where one or more large bodies of water (or even every such body if that makes it easier) disappear, only to reappear one or two millenia later.

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $f$ a continuous map from $X$ to $X$. Is it true, that if $f$ is weakly mixing, then the entering time $$N(U,V) = \{n \in \mathbb{N}\mid f^n(U) \cap V \neq \emptyset\}$$ is thick i.e. contains arbitrary large sequences of consecutive integers? I guess it is t...

Are there any sources that suggest that there is only a set amount/number of souls which can be born into bodies before the arrival of Moshiach or before Olam Haba? If yes, can Moshiach even come early if there are souls yet to be born? What would happen to souls that did not experience Olam Hazeh?

I tried to find the following limit: $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin x^2}{\sin x^2+x^2 \cos x^2}\right)$$ I simplified it by dividing by $\sin x$, and I got $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{1}{1+x^2 \tan \left(x^2\right)}\right)$$ which is equal to 1. However, my book states that th...

Given a square matrix like m = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}; I want to expand it to a 5x5 matrix k = {{1,2,3,0,0},{4,5,6,0,0},{7,8,9,0,0},{0,0,0,1,0},{0,0,0,0,1}}; In MATLAB, one can do m[[4,4]]=1; m[[5,5]]=1; which also automatically "fills in" the zeros.

In many Upanishads concerning liberation, it is said that an enlightened man (or jivanmukta) is beyond three states: Sleeping, Waking, and Dreaming states (e.g. Mandukya Upanishad). Some excerpts as such: Being freed from the waking and the sleeping states, he attains to his true state. When th...

In the same way that Melkor grew weaker across the ages by 'expending' himself into his monstrous creations, Sauron must have similarly expended himself into the creation of his Ring, which didn't appear to have a physical effect on him until he was directly separated from it.

A continuous map of 3-dimensional manifolds $f \colon M^3 \to N^3$ is called a branched covering if there is a link $L \subset N^3$, such that the restriction $f \colon M \setminus f^{-1}(L) \to N \setminus L$ is a covering map in the usual sense. In that case we say that $f$ is branched along $L...

It has been said that that Israel is violating human rights and committing war crimes, yet the United States consistently blocks any condemnation of Israel by utilizing its veto power in the UN, and I can't think of a US official who agreed with this consensus and called any of Israel's actions a...

This is question is different than the Tikz package, etc. I am compiling this document: https://github.com/NAG-DevOps/speed-hpc/tree/master/doc like so in the corresponding Makefile # Building static HTML requires `make4ht` # Works with existing environment html: make4ht $(DELIVERABLE) ...

I would like to use a photomultiplier tube to measure the light produced from cavitation for a project. How do I log the reading of this instrument?

I mistakenly bought a can of pre-cooked (I don't have time to soak and cook the beans from raw) black beans instead of red beans Is that usable for chili (i.e would that be as good as the red beans recipe)? Would I need to adjust cooking time in order to have a good result?

To the best of my knowledge all Macs come with a 'Pictures' folder /Users/me/Pictures, which I have been using for years. For reasons I cannot explain, Photos App does not just simply read this folder in by default, but wants to 'import' either single photos or entire folders. I want to avoid dup...

My company created a small app about a decade ago that has slowly grown into a large business unit and now is being spun off into its own business. It generates a ton of revenue and needs more support that my dev crew can put into any one project of ours. Basically its a wild success in terms of ...

Problem statement I want to replace missing matrix values, denoted by an integer 0, with the Mean of their surrounding values. Example 1 Since the missing value and neighbouring zeros don't count, the calculations are as follows: {1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3} / 7 13/7 {2 + 3 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 4} ...

So, here's a photo of my dypsus lutescens. As you can see from above, the plant is very much alive, and new leaves (?) are sprouting. However, they immediately drool. It's as if the weight of the leaves is too heavy for the thickness of the stalks. So instead of having it growing vertically, as I...

I have an application that has a custom SSO with a third party service. We are porting Drupal 7 code to Drupal 10 to continue the functionality. Previously we had a hook_init function that did the following: Check if the user is authenticated with specific role Check that the user has two valid ...

I cannot clearly understand why models are compared across multiple datasets. What practical problems do they aim to solve? Especially, in several papers, models are compared using datasets that are not related to the same topic. Is this approach used in real industrial applications? Some papers:...

I'm writing historical fiction and I'm at the research stage. My question is how much artistic license and fudging things with history do you need to do or should you do? The setting's the recent past in a Midwest town in Minnesota which is not podunk but not big city, so it's not a period piece ...

I was looking to purchase a license to software from the author. The software is GPL licensed (I assume because its a Wordpress plugin - and thus compelled to be GPL). My interest in purchasing the software from the author rather then an aftermarket site was to support the author and get updates...

I recall a day when adding just A/C would mean adding several other options to a vehicle, at a price tag that's three or so times what would be justified for an A/C—but at least those were useful add-ons. A hitch nowadays, as it perhaps always has been, cannot be bundled with anything else. Yet t...

I'm looking up information about temporarily supporting a ceiling to make an opening in an interior load bearing wall. Wooden stud and joist framed house. For the most part, the materials that I'm seeing (like this This Old House video on YouTube) show the supports being put up on only one side...

Putting the possibility of building a third temple aside, (this is a theoretical question), if the third temple was rebuilt, would the sotah ritual still apply like it did during the second temple period? Or would the takkanah against the ritual (see https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Sotah.9.9) sti...

I am trying to solve the following non-linear ODE numerically: M = 5 ; g = 12/10; NDSolve[{-x*D[h[x], x] + 2*D[((h[x]/(h[x] + M*(1 - h[x])))*(1 - 2*g*M*x*(1 - h[x])*D[h[x], x])), x] == 0, h[0] == 0 , h[10] == 1}, h[x], {x, 0, 10}] where M=5 and g=1.2. The ODE is subject to the following: h[x=0...

I usually work with big components (0805, 0603.) Now I'm trying to make a board that would use much smaller packages such as 0402 and 0201. I know that balancing copper is relatively important to avoid tombstoning. How do I know if mismatches are tolerable or not? I couldn't find any clear enough...

We had a humidity issue in our rental flat last winter - every morning all the windows were wet, and we had mold in the corners and behind the couch. (Despite venting 3+ times a day for 10+ minutes - which was really uncomfortable because of the cold.) The apartment has 55m2, is floor-heated, fam...
