As an example, let us assume someone cuts out your tongue while you are in either polymorph or alter self. What happens when you change back? Do you regain your tongue? Does the cut-out tongue disappear?

I'm a postdoc and thinking about where to publish. eLife seems good for my work. However, I heard that eLife would be considered "reviewed preprints" and not count as publications for tenure decisions. What are people's experiences?

The zweihander sentinel archetype for the warder has a feature called armament shield: When wielding a one-handed weapon in two hands or a two-handed weapon, the weapon is treated as a light shield for the purposes of performing a shield bash attack on an opponent.

In the episode "1969", SG-1 accidentally travels back in time to 1969. They emerge in what initially appears to be an unoccupied gate room, which transforms around them to its "actual" 1969 configuration as a missile silo. How can this be explained in-universe? Based on series canon up to this po...

This will be first of many things I will submit during my journey of self (re)learning CPU design. I have ALU implementation for RiscV base instruction.

I'm having some trouble understanding the proof of lemma 2.4 from the paper "On groups and fields definable in o-minimal structures" by A. Pillay. Here we are working in an o-minimal structure $\mathcal M$ and $G$ is a definable group in $\cal M$. I've been trying to understand this proof for th...

Is partial correctness decidable? i.e., is there a general algorithm that for any pair of formal specification and encoded TM, returns true if and only if the TM meets the specification whenever the TM halts? I feel that the answer is likely no because of how complex the problem sounds. If the an...

If a Sun Soul Monk takes the Fighting Initiate feat and chooses Unarmed Fighting Style, thus replacing the usual damage of their unarmed strike with d6 (or d8 if wielding no weapons or shield), would this also replace the damage of their Radiant Sun Bolt, since that deals the same damage as their...

Let $G$ be a nonabelian group of odd order $n = |G|$ that's not a prime power, so that all the Sylow subgroups are proper. Must it have at least one normal Sylow subgroup? Of course this $G$ is solvable so it does have a proper nontrivial normal subgroup of some kind. Oddness of $n$ is needed bec...

Question: Does a premise based on subjectivity compromise a logical argument seeking to conclude with an objective conclusion/claim? I've been thinking about Anselm's Ontological Argument for the Existence of God (Anselm: Ontological Argument for God’s Existence). The logical argument can be pres...

In German, the letter C is usually pronounced [ts] before E, e.g. "Cent". It seems to me "risaikeln" would make more sense than "recyceln" in German orthography. If the intent was copying the English word, like it's done in "Sandwich", why not write "recyclen" (given that German prefers verbs wit...

How did people make lead sheets in the Graeco-Roman world? Especially for the usage in curses.

Is the vertex mass setting for cloth simulations the mass of each individual vertex or is it the weight of the whole object? Like if a plane has 100 vertices and the vertex mass is 2 then is the weight of the cloth 2kg or 200kg? Because blender documentation makes it seem like it’s the weight of ...

From vague childhood memories: a fantasy movie in a medieval setting, where an evil wizard uses a mirror to transform people in evil counterpart.

The Schrodinger equation (SE) with a Hermitian operator $H$ generates unitary evolution, and it is well-known that plenty of quantum processes can be described by SE and appropriately chosen $H$. That is, $$ \frac{d\psi}{dt} = -i H \psi(t) \tag{1} $$ generates a unitary evolution that can describ...

An abelian category $\mathcal A$ with arbitrary coproducts (for example, a Grothendieck category) is semisimple if every object in $\mathcal A$ is a coproduct of simple objects.

A subgroup of a free group is free. The proof I'm familiar with uses covering space theory. But today someone mentioned to me that if a free group $F$ had a non-free subgroup (i.e. a subgroup subject to some relation), then certainly that relation would still hold in $F$, contradicting the freene...

In this video, it is mentioned at 27:10 that as we go to higher and higher dimensional spaces, the probability of two random vectors being orthogonal goes to $1$.

Seneca the Younger had a satyrical phrase: "Vae me, puto concacavi me." (Oh dear, I think I have shitted myself.). But it appears to be rather ungrammatical. "Vae" goes with dative, right?

Jesus is reported as mixing with sinners and eating with them in Luke 15:2. The RSV and KJV say this was “murmured”, which I take to show that those stating this fact were complaining, or – worse – sneering.
