I'm repeating an experiment k times: generating n values from the standard normal distribution and, for each sample, I run the AD test.

I'm reading through a textbook on counseling. And they cite Epictetus as saying, "It's not the events of life that make men mad, but rather the view we take of them." It's a common quote all over the internet. But I can't find a citation. Where is this found, and what is the Greek text?

Consider the balance of angular momentum for a rigid body $B$ expressed w.r.t. its center of mass $C$, i.e. $$ \frac{\mathrm{d} l_C}{\mathrm{d} t} = \tau_C \, , \qquad (1) $$ where $l_C = \Theta_C \, \omega$ is the angular momentum and $ \tau_C$ is the torque (both w.r.t. $C$), respectively.

In Exodus 35:30, Bezalel is commissioned by God to be the chief artisan over the construction of the tabernacle, the ark of the testimony, and all its accompanying articles.

My understanding is that the Many-Worlds interpretation essentially says that the entire universe is one big wavefunction, and what we interpret as "measurement" or "collapse" is just when our conscious mind splits into a particular branch.

Does there exist a first-order signature $L$ and two first-order $L$-theories $T$ and $T'$ such that $T$ and $T'$ both have arbitrarily large finite models, and the finite models of $T$ and $T'$ are the same, but $T$ and $T'$ differ on infinite models?

It is classical that the homeomorphism problem for finite simplicial complexes is unsolvable.

Acts 16:13-15 is about a woman named Lydia, who is prefaced as a “worshiper of God.” It subsequently states “the Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message,” and then she and her household are baptized.
