In the 2024 Fallout TV series, we see that the Brotherhood of Steel’s squires are portrayed as young adults (or older teenagers). For instance, Aaron Moten, who is 35, plays the squire Maximus, and his character is actively serving alongside a Brotherhood knight in a combat situation. This portra...

I am in the process of creating a worksheet for my students. It's about ER-diagrams. It's relatively easy with Word, but it doesn't look so nice ;) I already know how to create ER-diagrams. What I would like to have are fields that the students have to fill out. Here my code: \documentclass[10pt,...

I'll probably end up just cutting it off but I'm kind of curious now. I found it on a 12vdc water pump.

What's changed since the first version: Instead of hashing each and every file, the sizes of the files are first compared, and if those are equal, the files are then hashed. A better hash function, EVP_Blake2b512(), is used in place of EVP_md5(). Files are also read in chunks now. (Previously eac...

I have framed an opening for an exterior door that will be 32x80” and have therefore made the rough opening 34x82½”. Every 32x80 door I’ve looked at at Lowe’s and Home Depot call for a rough opening width of 34¼”. With hindsight I should have checked this first. Will it fit? Is the extra 1/8” on ...

I just got back into cubing for fun, not speed. There was an interesting solving method I used to like and can't remember the name of. I believe it started with solving all the corners, then solving the left and right sides by moving the unsolved edge to change to the top layer and spinning th...

When for example opening some Google Sheet in a private tab without signing in to Google the interface language is determined by IP. How to change its language to English?

In the attached Zero Sum Game, i have solved for two Mixed Nash Equilibrium, $(l,m)$ and $(m,r.)$ In $(l,m)$ the payoff is $8/5$ to $P_1$, and $-8/5$ to $P_2$. Here $P_1$ mixes between Top and Bottom with probability $4/5$ and $1/5$ respectively. $P_2$ mixes between left and middle with probabi...

This seal is a name awarded to a martial artist. I think the name means strong and protective. The word for strong might be the same word used for iron mills? Any help on the Chinese characters and their translation would be greatly appreciate.

One of the things that has always bothered me slightly about Matthew 7:7 : Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (KJV), is that the grammar is not parallel. In fact, it isn't even as parallel as you could make it in English.1 I recently ...

So, the issue is that I switched blender theme to "Maya" and, as a result, now when I select all the vertexes of the face, the face itself isn't highlighted in viewport. But I actually want this to be highlighted. Is there a way to fix this?

Recall that the nilCoxeter algebra $\mathcal{N}_W$ for a Coxeter group $W$ is given by the $\mathbf{k}$-basis $x_w$ for each $w\in W$ and multiplication $x_ux_v=x_{uv}$ if $\ell(uv)=\ell(u)+\ell(v)$ and $=0$ otherwise. Q: What is known about finite dimensional modules over $\mathcal{N}_W$? When I...

In stochastic calculus, it is often standard to write a DE in differential form, such as $\mathrm dY = H \, \mathrm dX$ for the stochastic integral $$\displaystyle\int\limits_0^t H \, \mathrm d X := \displaystyle\int\limits_0^t H_s \, \mathrm d X_s.$$ The most common sense-interpretation of an ex...

Can White choose a variant/move order such that there is no good way for Black to solve the standard problem of the Bc8 in d4 openings and the dude has to stay put for a while?

This may be a bit of an elementary question, but I think understanding it will help me understand fundamentally what makes quantum algorithms a bit magical. Alice starts with a message she wants to send Bob, in the form of $|\phi \rangle = \alpha |0\rangle + \beta |1\rangle$. She concatenates it ...

I tried to find the fundamental cycles of a multiple edge graph below, but it doesn't seem to work. Is it true that the built-in function FindFundamentalCycles does not work with multiple edge graphs?

From John Le Carré's Smiley's People: I need you, thought Smiley, watching him gyrate. I love you, I hate you, I need you. Such apocalyptic statements reminded him of Ann when she had run out of money or love. The heart of the sentence is the subject, he thought. It is not the verb, least of all...

As a combatant, your family's safety is threatened by your captors. "Return to your platoon as a spy for us, and your family's lives will be spared." You accept the terms with steadfast inclination.

I want to design a power amplifier to work at 40 MHz. The only RF transistor that has a higher frequency rating than this I can find where I live is the MRF646, but the datasheet defines its parameters at 512 MHz. Can I use that transistor at 40 MHz?

Let's say for someone who has modest ordinary income this year, but next year expects significantly more income - is it possible to defer usage of capital loss to the next year? Or, is this person required to use all $3000 of capital loss in current year if income in current year was $3000 or more?

I'm defining serialization, and I'd like a report of items loaded by Sitecore so I can make sure I'm avoiding those paths. Is it possible to get a CSV listing all items in the stock items-as-resources (a.k.a. protocol buffers) using SPE?

A German scientist is living in America. He talks a lot to a mouse in his house who he catches, and keeps in a cage. He calls the mouse Mickey after Disney's famous creation.

I did an FFT in Excel on a 440 Hz time domain sine wave, $y_1(t) = \sin(2\pi\cdot440\cdot t)$, and got the expected output in the frequency domain: a single-spike distribution with 100% of the signal at 440 Hz and zero at every other frequency. I did a second FFT in Excel on an 880 Hz time domain...

Looking back at church history, the Universal Church has failed miserably at keeping Christ’s command when it comes to all Christians. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you ar...

Recent errata has clarified that if you use an athletics maneuver with a weapon, the weapon's traits, such as Agile, can apply. Do property runes apply as well?

I have seen some references to this quote, but can't confirm if it was a real line, in either the books or movies. Is it perhaps a Mandela effect, or a reference from something else?

I am reading John Rutherford's translation of Don Quixote. In the prologue there are several sonnets that appear to be some sort of puzzle/guessing game as the last syllable (syllables?) are missing.

When following the ongoing 2024 FIDE Candidates Tournament, I notice that Black often plays the Two Knights Defense in response to the Italian, but White goes for a quiet Giuoco Piano line instead of 4. Ng5. Why? Example games are Firouzja vs. Nakamura, Vidit vs. Gukesh, Vidit vs. Nakamura.

It seems that the Iranian April 13 attack against Israel had mostly political objectives: testing what western powers would and would not do to support Israel and their interests in the Middle East, as well as disclosing the existing military cooperation between Israel and Jordan, and the intelli...

I read this novel about 20-25 years ago, and I think it was shortly after its publication.

There have been serious safety incidents where multiple airplanes using the same frequency caused simultaneous messages to garble each other. For example, at Pearson International Airport in 2020, two planes nearly collided on the runway, because a small Embraer 190's message that it was rejectin...

I calculated the difference between 2 massive polygon layers with the Difference tool in QGIS. I get the result I wanted...more or less. The problem is that there are a bunch of lines that appear in the middle of the polygons of interest. I tried getting rid of them by calculating their surface a...

Lets say you own a common stock of a very large firm, and then the company loses a case, or had data breach etc.. etc.. and has to pay money to others. Will you, as a stock owner be liable to pay something out of your pocket too?

We are given a circle with radius $1$, its center point and an inscribed isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$ and its height (as shown in the picture below). Can we express the area $(ABC)$ as a function of $θ$ where $θ=B \hat{A} C$? How I tried: I put the diagram in a Cartesian coordinate system. A...

When writing numbers with units using the siunitx package, \SI{1064}{\um}, the numbers and units are noticeably smaller than the text, however the mu seems to be the correct size. I am using Verdana as the main text font and the default LaTeX font for maths. MiKTeX and compiled with LuaLaTeX. MWE...

I'm encountering some difficulty understanding the concept of line of sight inclination. Typically, we assume that the observer is positioned perpendicular to the system being observed. Consequently, the orbital inclination (which is crucial for calculating the radial velocity of the system) is r...

For monads $S$ and $T$ on a fixed Abelian category $C$, a morphism of monads $\sigma: S\rightarrow T$ induces a functor between Eilenberg-Moore categories $\sigma^*:C^T\rightarrow C^S$. This functor sends a $T$-algebra $(A,\rho:TA\rightarrow A)$ to an $S$-algebra $(A,\rho\circ \sigma_A:SA\rightar...
