QUESTION: Cannabis strains are fairly similar and cross bred today. Lab analyses of Indica and Sativa yield nearly identical profiles. Why do dispensaries insist there is a amp or mellow effect from each? - ANSWER: I think this more or less comes down to promoting a “traditional” way of thinking about cannabis for medical patients., Traditionally, indicas are the “mellow out” strains, while sativas are the “energetic” strains. Thinking about cannabis in this way can be a very easy way for new patients, or patients that aren’t necessarily connoisseurs to gauge how cannabis CAN affect them. It makes sense for dispensaries to use these easy-to-understand terms for people, because they aren’t necessarily wrong., Although I would tend to agree with the premise of the question - that there really is “no difference” - we do know that there ARE differences in different strains. And like other answers have mentioned, the terpenes associated with each strain will be more informative on how a strain will affect someone than using the “indica” or “sativa” label., For those patients who really want to dive deep into a cannabis strain’s effects, there is plenty of information out there about terpene profiles to help them make educated decisions about what may work for them. I do think that 2020 will be the year of the terpene, as 2019 has see...

QUESTION: Why are Chinese international students so rich? - ANSWER: Otherwise they would stay in China., Doing college in Western countries is very expensive for Chinese. The tuition, fees, room rents, air fare… Plus, you have a lot of problems that can only be alleviated by money: For example, public transportation is missing in most American cities. So to alleviate the problem, you need to buy a car. Another example is that Chinese in general don’t like authentic Western foods. However, the more expensive foods usually taste better anyway…, The consequence is that only “rich” families can send their kids to the West for colleges. Here by “rich” I mean upper class and upper middle class families. For upper middle class families, the international education of their kids often costs a big portion of their savings., Bear in mind that Chinese, or East Asians in general, like to save money, and like to invest heavily on their children’s education. An American family with an annual income of $100k would probably hesitate to spend $200k on their kid’s college tuition. But too many Chinese families with annual income less than that would be willing to spend the same amount of money. You would see the smile on their kid’s face, but you wouldn’t see the sacrifice the parents made.

QUESTION: Are leather pants business casual? - ANSWER: I would say that it depends on where you work. I have my own business and I wear leather pants most of the time in the fall/winter/spring months. I would also say that it is dependent upon what you wear with it. If you were to go full on leather pants, leather shirt, leather accessories … that may be a bit much. If you pair your leather pants with a nice shirt/sweater, or shirt and coat, I see no issues with it what-so-ever. They are pants, right?!?! No different than khaki’s or wool pants, aside of being made from leather. If they are “jeans” style, then they are no different than jeans, aside from being made of leather. If they are not super revealing, or have holes, or whatever else may not be appropriate for any legwear, then I would not see why you could not wear leather pants and have them considered business casual., I have worn leather pants to big meetings, dinner meetings, whatever. People either really don’t notice, don’t care, or comment on how cool they are and that it gives a whole new style to traditional outfits. If you really are concerned about it, check your office dress code or talk to the HR folks. Honestly, in this day and age, I would think that it would be accepted and if it were not, you could always claim “leather discrimination”.

QUESTION: Is the law of the excluded middle always valid in logic? - ANSWER: No, it depends on the context, essentially the purpose for which the logic is being used., In constructive mathematics, the connective “or” is used with a stronger interpretation than usual in mathematics. If one can prove “A or B” for sentences A and B, then you also have an algorithm for getting either a proof of A or a proof of B. The law of excluded middle is not valid in constructive mathematics because in general there is no procedure for determining whether a sentence is true or false. Constructive mathematics is considered of interest to some people because it can in a more direct way be used like a programming language. The “implementation” of a constructive proof of “A or B” is able to tell you that a specific one of the two is true, for example., In non-constructive mathematics, “A or B” is considered proved if when we assume that both A is false and B is false, we can deduce a contradiction, and this is often possible without our being able to tell which is true. It just means less., Logics are also sometimes used by people who have an overall non-constructive view of mathematics in contexts where the correct logic does not satisfy the law of excluded middle. If you know about topological spaces, one simple example is that the set of open sets of a topological space is a Heyting algebra rather than a Boolean algebra. A Heyting algebra is a model of the kind of logic used in constructive mathematics, but of course anybody can think about Heyting algebras even if they have no interest in constructivity. The “and” of two open sets is taken to be their intersection, the “or” is the union, “if U then V” is the union of all open sets W whose intersection with U is contained in V, and “not U” is the exterior of U. This doesn’t satisfy the law of excluded middle because usually the union of an open set and its exterior is not the whole space., In category theory, some people study a kind of category called a topos. A topos has an “internal” logic which sometimes satisfies the law of excluded middle, but often doesn’t. Sheaves over a specific topological space is one example of a topos (and its logic is the logic I described above for the topological space).

QUESTION: What are goals included in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for a child with autism? - ANSWER: The I in IEP is individualized, so naturally the goals for a person with autism is as broad as the spectrum. It really depends on the needs of that student with autism. In order to know what should be included, the student should have a good FIE (full individual evaluation which should include testing in the areas of cognitive, academic, speech, pragmatic language, social skills, behavior (functional behavior assessment), executive functioning, focus, anxiety, nursing, OT & PT). That evaluation should be able to answer the following questions:, Are they speaking or even able to learn to speak (meaning is autism co-existing with something else that impacts the ability to speak like apraxia)?, Are they able to tolerate learning in a group? or Do they need 1:1 learning?, What level socialization instruction do they need?, What level of executive functioning support do they need?, Do they have serious acting out behaviors?, Do they also have medical conditions, like seizures, that require nursing support at school?, . A committee of 51% community experts (BCBAs, SLPs OTs, parents, etc.) and 49% school professionals (mostly administrators) gathered to create it about 10 years ago. It is a list of 11 considerations that every IEP team must consider when putting together a plan for a student on the spectrum. It does not add any services to IDEA, but it covers the basic of what the majority of students with autism needs.. In Texas, we created something called the . autism supplement

QUESTION: How do we know which fossil hominins are our direct ancestors? - ANSWER: We don’t., In fact, given how rarely things fossilize and how relatively rare all our earliest direct ancestors were, it almost certain that NONE of the fossils we have found so far are actually direct ancestors of modern humans, other than the most recent fossils that already were modern humans., What they are most likely instead are members of the same adaptive radiations that our actual direct ancestors belonged to, and thus would share many of the traits our direct ancestors would have had. They are the brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles of our direct ancestors, and by learning what they were like, we can approximate what our direct ancestors were like as well.

QUESTION: Should I take an iPill? I am 19 years old. - ANSWER: I-pill should be used wisely. It will have so many consequences in the future. If it really really really necessary then only you have to take it. Otherwise please avoid it., Coming up your question. Answering below questions will give you the answer., Did you had a unprotected sex with a guy?, If yes, did he came inside your vagina or near your vagina?, When you had sex?

QUESTION: If you have a router, is it necessary to have a modem for it? - ANSWER: The necessity depends on 3 things: , your definition of a modem , what is built into the router , what isn't isn't built into the router. , For long-haul transport mediums, you must be able to encode (modulate) and de-encode (demodulate) the signal, because in most cases, the signal comes in a form that is not directly understood by your LAN (local network), regardless of whether it is wired or wireless., Given that MODEM is an acronym for MOdulator/DEModulator, it is clear that you need one. , Many modems come with built-in routers, and a few routers come with modems built in. In either case, you don't need a router if the router does all the necessary work for your network. You need a wireless router for wireless networks and a wired router for wired ones. , For security reasons, you should have a firewall, which has a different function than a router and/or modem, but almost all modern routers have a built-in firewall. Most modems with routers have firewalls; you don't need a router if the modem has a fire-walled router.

QUESTION: What's the benefits and drawbacks of RBI savings bonds? - ANSWER: The 7.75% Government Savings Bond will open for subscription from January 10., The 7.75 per cent government savings bond, which will have a maturity of seven years, replaces the 8% Savings Bonds Scheme, also known as RBI Bonds Scheme., The 8% Savings Bonds Scheme was popular among those who looked to have a guaranteed regular income., the government Savings Bond will fetch lower interest rate now, it is still a good bet for investors looking at guaranteed regular income from their investments., 10 Things To Know About 7.75% Government Savings Bonds:, 1) There is no maximum limit for investment in 7.75% Savings (Taxable) Bonds., 2) The bonds will be issued for a minimum amount of Rs.1,000 (face value) and in multiples thereof., 3) The 7.75% Government Savings Bonds are open to investment by individuals (including Joint Holdings) and Hindu Undivided Families. NRIs are not eligible for making investments in these bonds., 4) Investors can choose between the cumulative and non-cumulative modes for payment of interest. , 5) In the cumulative option, interest is paid on maturity of bonds. In the non-cumulative mode, interest is paid on a half-yearly basis., 6) Like bank fixed deposits, the interest income earned from 7.75% Government Savings Bonds is added to one's income and taxed according to the respective slabs., 7) The bonds will be exempt from wealth tax under the Wealth Tax Act, 1957., 8) The 7.75% Government Savings Bonds will have a maturity of 7 years carrying interest at 7.75% per annum payable half-yearly. The cumulative value of Rs. 1,000 at the end of seven years will be Rs. 1,703., 9) The bonds are not transferable., 10) The 7.75% Government Savings Bonds are also not tradeable in the secondary market and are not eligible as collateral for loans from banking institutions, non-banking financial companies or financial institutions., Generally the factors that decide upon any form of investment is:, a. safety of the funds invested, b. regular income (to offset the impact of inflation), c. liquidity (ease of converting the investment into liquid cash), 1. The safety factor of the bonds is apparently high, since it is issued by the govt — but if the govt decides to hold back the funds and only renews the bonds for further 7 years, then the investor might not get see the cash invested; the funds are not subject to wealth tax provisions; 2. The interest income is guaranteed; but the interest income is not free from income taxes 3. the liquidity aspect is low, due to the absence of a secondary market for trading these bonds; , I would like to add one more factor, the end-use of the funds so raised; There is no proper explanation for the issue of bonds; My fears are that, like the “excess amounts collected for fuels” the allocation of which is not reflected/accounted for in the budgets,these amounts also will be squandered away on unproductive but populistic schemes like loan waivers or recapitalisation etc; thus the funds mopped up would not be generating ...

QUESTION: What is the best way to study IPCC accounting standards? - ANSWER: First read the AS as given and try to understand what it is meant for and what is the purpose of the AS because you have to be conceptually very clear as to why a particular AS was needed and what purpose does it serve only then you are in a position to answer questions based on that particular AS. Once you are conceptually clear you can say that you have won more than half the battle., Now is the time to practice as many questions as possible from study module and practice manual and you are done and ready for the AS part of the question paper., Moreover if you are conceptually clear about these AS then it would also reap a lot of benefits at the final level because you will be again studying those same AS so it's always advisable to make the foundation of AS very strong at the IPCC level., Most of the students at IPCC level leave the AS portion and you get one full 16 marks questions from AS so there you can gain edge over others and score really well in the paper., That is how we prepare at the final level so I guess this would work for IPCC too., All the best !!!!

QUESTION: What is the best strategy to make a counter offer on a lower-than-expected annual salary for a new job offer? - ANSWER: Thanks for the A2A., Without numbers or a relative sense of importance, it's tough to answer. Here's how I break the problem down : You are employed by company A for a salary X. Company B is looking to get you for salary for salary Y. I assume that Y is bigger than X. However you want Z., To convince a future employer that you are of value Z and not Y, arguments can be : , The salary gap between Y and X is not enough to cover for the risks I'm taking in this new endeavour with you. I need Z to take this risk., Market benchmarking tells me Z is the salary you would pay for someone with my skills, I have another job offer at Z, You might want to get into alternate scenarios if it doesn't work out , Ask B how you can get to Z at a review in a short time, deeming your work is more than satisfactory, Get a bundle with something else (amenities, shares), Then, it comes to your second best scenario : you stay at A or move to B with Y salary depending of which is the best opportunity for you.

QUESTION: How is a 5-year ROIC of a stock calculated? - ANSWER: I'm not sure your using ROIC in the correct manner. The Return On Invested Capital is a measurement of the companies ability to earn a return on their investments, its not your annual return if that's what your looking for., On a ROIC, I can't imagine why you want to lengthen the time. Its generally used as a measurement of management effectiveness. In this example you would for example take home depot vs loves. Is one investing in a more productive manner. Then you would go to the quarterly report and see what types of investments they made to see if they are repeatable or a one time thing., You want to see consistency or an improving trend showing strong management. If you do the 5 years you won't see any of that., Lastly… if you want 5 years like 2000-2005 and then 2001-2006 you would just average the years., Sorry I'm not clear on your question

QUESTION: Do African Americans abroad experience white privilege? - ANSWER: I’m from Brooklyn but in the 90’s spent my childhood in Switzerland. I was the star attraction of every school I went to, even the teachers took to me immediately not knowing what an . enfant terrible. I would turn into within weeks. It was all because I was American. They called me ‘Michael’ just because I was a black American and they all loved Michael Jordan and Jackson. A lot of African Immigration took place since then. When I go back to Geneva the atmosphere is markedly different - I get asked “Where in Africa are you from” in an almost hostile tone. The tension eases when I tell them I’m American., I taught English in Poland for a year and the experience was bone-chilling. I dated a Polish girl and couldn’t hold her hand in the street - the stares I would get while walking alone would turn into vicious insults from the street hooligans or shaking heads from the elderly. However I quickly learned I enjoyed a high amount of privilege as well. I taught English at private companies and when I walked in there were some eye-rolls - they thought I was an African about to lecture them in an African dialect. But once they learned I was American I became a star and was in pretty high demand, earning more money than my Polish peers who went to school for this stuff., I also went to a party and was bonding with some dude over beers when suddenly he said “What’s your number we should hang out…You know, you’re a cool guy but it’s because you are American..Here we have Africans and we don’t like them they are stupid and steal and rape.” I can’t remember any other time I felt my bones chill from a single statement - quite the Buzz kill. This made me realize why many of the Africans I’d seen walking around Warsaw (many of them clearly respectable businessmen) appeared a bit self-effacing and even fearful. I then went to another wedding and the same thing happened. A Polish guy living in Scotland with the kind of accent you hear once in a lifetime said he enjoyed having drinks with me and that he was happy I was American and not African because he hated them., So yes, in my experience Black Americans enjoy a high amount of privilege abroad. In terms of pure popularity contests being a black American is probably a bigger plus than being a white American abroad. Guys want to hang out with you, girls are…Curious to put it mildly., This stuff kind of highlights why having famous black entertainers and such is actually really helpful. They are cultural ambassadors, not just for America in general but for the black community here, and it really helps. People that grew up idolizing stars like Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Will Smith or Jay-Z have a respect for black American culture and achievement that overpowers whatever racist stereotypes prevail in their local communities. In the best cases like in Western Europe it makes people less racist on the whole, while in the worst cases it makes the racists have at least some respect for African-Americans.

QUESTION: I had to choose between getting a useless college degree or fail a year. What should I do? - ANSWER: This is a nonsensical dilemma., Failing your classes intentionally because you no longer like the major you chose just means you’ve shot yourself in the foot with regards to career or graduate school., At this point, it probably isn’t even possible to intentionally fail a whole year. Half or two thirds of those classes are done already., There is no such thing as a truly useless degree anyway. You are not compelled to get a job in whatever your major may be. You have the knowledge, you’ve finished the classes, you’ve done the work., Guess you have to graduate.

QUESTION: What are some examples of Quora answers helping you? - ANSWER: I have Sensory Processing Disorder. Most of the time, I’m fine. I know how to be safe and care for myself. But sometimes, when I’m really stressed, my self care goes out the window., A bad trigger such as strobe lights and mazal tov, I have a meltdown., They are fairly rare, but they are terrifying. Everything shuts down and when it gets really bad, I am almost helpless., It’s not something you can see. All you can see is that I’m very wide-eyed and stiff, and my hands are shaking. But internally, I’m completely shut down. My words are failing me. I feel every light as if it’s a searchlight in my eyes. I hear every sound as if it’s being blasted in my ears. My words are completely lost. I feel scared and alone and lost. My sense of direction fails me., It’s like being trapped in a terrifying world of shadows. I don’t know where I am anymore and I am lost., I can’t think. I can’t plan. I’m lost in a spiral. And I have to talk myself out of it. I need a story., Due to many factors, I had a meltdown today while traveling. Lighting issues, noise, crowds, and some work stress, and I found myself in that darkness. I didn’t know where I was, I didn’t know what to do. I just stood there, against a building., My eyes closed, my head pounding, every sound feeling like a million. I had no memories of how I got there anymore. I was just in a state of panic and I as so scared. I was shaking with terror, and I knew that I needed to get myself to safety., But I was frozen in terror. The words weren’t forming, because I was panicking and if I panic, I can’t get help, because I’m frozen., “You need to be strong,” I told myself. “You need to find that strength and calm down so you can get help.” I searched my mind for an example of strength, to calm myself, because the fear had taken over. I was panicking, and the only way I could, This entry came to mind., Ben Kolber's answer to As a military drill Instructor, what insight can you give into human will and capability?, I have no idea what Zach looks like, or what Zach’s name is, but it just stuck in my mind. I’m a writer, so I started telling myself a story., I imagined the image of a paratrooper standing in front of me in that dark shadow world., I made him look like a cross between my favorite cousin Danny, (also a paratrooper) and Mark Zuckerberg. And I imagined him standing there, the red of his beret gleaming., “Come on, get yourself together. I ran up a hill fully loaded with a bad ankle. You can do this.”, I can’t. I’m scared. The darkness is too much. The sounds are too much. I can’t move., “Oh yes, you can. Just imagine Ben is yelling at you, saying if you don’t get moving, you’ll be running up hill again. I knew he would do it to me, so I ran. I put the pain out of my head and I ran. You need to do the same.”, The noise. The light. It hurts too much. I’m scared. The pain is too much., “I know the pain is bad. I didn’t give up, I pushed myself till I fainted. Just keep telling yourself the story, you’re already calming down.”, And I was starting to calm down. I may not know Zach, but I know my friends who are his brother in arms., I imagined all of them surrounding me., We’ll take it from here, brother. Thanks for looking after her., Hey, happy to help., I imagined all my friends walking with me, helping me find my way back to myself., The pain was bad, but I was able to calm my breathing enough to open my eyes and open my phone and text a friend for help.

QUESTION: Is it okay to release an Oscar fish in a big pond? - ANSWER: It depends. Is it your pond? Is it a natural pond, or is it man-made with the express purpose of keeping non-native species (such as a koi pond)? Is it isolated well enough from native bodies of water that there’s no risk of the fish ending up in a native waterway, even if the pond overflows from a heavy rainstorm?, If you have your own koi pond, for example, and also live in a temperate climate (or your pond is sufficiently heated in winter months), you could keep an Oscar in that pond, yes., But if the pond isn’t yours, and especially if it’s a natural pond and not a man-made one (where there has already been consideration of the potential for release of non-native species) - I’d say, absolutely not., We already have enough issues with invasive species that were introduced (accidentally or deliberately) from the pet trade as it is. At some point, we risk a ban on the importation of any live non-native species entirely, which would be pretty limiting for anyone who wants to keep any kind of ornamental fish (indoors or out).

QUESTION: What OS means life? - ANSWER: Q. What OS means life?, Well, there is only one OS that means life. It has been under development for hundreds of thousands of years. The source code is self-evolving and very hard to read. However, the OS itself is present virtually everywhere. Although the OS is free, historically it comes preinstalled., . There is another varient of this OS known as ribonucleic acid (known as . RNA. ). RNA’s can run side-by-side with DNA, sometimes complementing tasks. But the systems that use only RNAs are typically dependent on DNA-OS based systems for running, and sometimes even make harm to the host system.. DNA. This OS is known as deoxyribonucleic acid, some people also call it

QUESTION: Why north east part of India is neglected? People only know about the seven sister but can not name the states? - ANSWER: I am not good enough or qualified to answer the first part of question, but I will try the second one. After reading your question , I opened new tab and tried to write seven state names . I could write only 6 of them. But not everyone likes Geography , even if he studies it in school, there is always chance we could forget it after some time. Though I agree with you on the part that NE part was neglected in past more compared to other. But who doesn’t feel neglected and make conspiracy theories . Recently I saw, Tamilnadu was saying we are being neglected. Indian politics is filled with corruption, and different demographics. So the development of state is also very much dependent on state govt and regional candidates. It is also based on stability. I follow pages such NorthEast news etc to learn about current affairs of your states and I cant see a stability in that area. So the negligence is not sole reason. Less contact and travel between NE and other parts of India in past is also one of the reason, though the situation is changing now.

QUESTION: Does capitalism rely on the existence of poor people? - ANSWER: Does capitalism rely on the existence of poor people?, Not necessarily, no. Even Adam Smith, basically the philosophical father of capitalism, preached that capitalism can only work for everybody if profits are reinvested into new and better jobs. Today it is not. It is invested into rationalization and digitalization to destroy jobs to maximize investors’ profits. It mainly goes into the pockets of the investors, leading to an obscene imbalance of wealth distribution. Smith lived a hundred years before the industrial revolution, so he probably did not see it coming., There however is an easy solution for that: introduce taxes for the investors to repair the damage they are doing. But that would be socialism, right?

QUESTION: Is it cheaper to pay in local currency when traveling internationally at point of sale or to pay in your home currency and have the credit card convert it when you pay your bill? - ANSWER: It depends on the credit card you have., I travel extensively and keep a CaptialOne credit that does not have international transaction fee (2.7% for Amex and 3% for others typically). So, if you had a $1500 hotel bill, paying with these fees would be $45/-. So, better withdraw cash and pay . Right? Not necessarily. Cash withdrawal from ATMs costs $5 from your bank at the minimum. So, getting $1,500 with 3 or 4 withdrawals(giving the day limit) could cost some money too., Of course, taking cash and then converting to local currency is the best way to get the worst exchange ever., Best way is:, -Get a credit card that has no international transaction fee and use it for EVERYTHING. This gives you the BEST possible “million dollar” exchange rate. Luckily, in Europe, their point of sale credit card transaction processing is very good., -Withdraw maximum local cash from ATM once(say $500 worth) and keep it for cash only expenses.

What is the solution? - ANSWER: The best proof would be a government-issued photo id such as a passport or driving licence., if you have neither of those, a letter from an official body such as your tax authority, voter registration, etc., If you don’t have any if those, how about letters from your bank, phone company, loan companies, or any other service provider., If you still don’t have any of those: congratulations, you don’t pay tax, or have any significant expenses, In my jurisdiction, where voter registration is compulsory, it would also mean that you are not eligible to vote - e.g. too young or not a citizen.

QUESTION: What non-empathetic responses blew your mind? - ANSWER: I grew up very close to my great grandmother. She babysat me in the summers while my mom worked. I spent weekends with her often. She was my favorite grandma. She passed away when I was 24 with my mom on one side of her hospital bed, me on the other. We left the hospital that day in shock and heartbroken. When I got home my boyfriend that I lived with was there. I went to take a shower and I was just moving in slow motion, too numb to even cry. All I remember was him telling me to hurry up and get ready he had things to do. I told him to give me a minute my grandma just died. His response will forever linger in my ears…….”She died 2 hours ago. Get over it”, It wasn’t but a couple of months that I moved out. That was 23 years ago and I still hear him say it.

QUESTION: Which life is the saddest between Naruto, Sasuke & Gaara? - ANSWER: I’m not sure why questions like this need to be asked., Why are we comparing these characters lives?, Who had it worst just comes off as utilizing pity for competitive purposes. When did commiserating w/ someone become a yard stick in standards and protocol?, , Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara, have all lived shitty and sad lives. Does it matter when it occured? No, it shouldn’t., Because at some point they’ve all been hurt, traumatized and disregarded by the powers that be., Tragic events shouldn’t be means tested or weighed against each other. Another persons tragedy might just be anothers inconvenience. Pain and heartbreak isn’t relative, but it is universal. Horrible upbringings and neglect can be all too common within the Naruto-verse; so therefore these characters shouldn’t be compared. When all of their upbringings at some point and time were resulted from tragic events., Became the vessel for the 9 tails, at the expense of his parents; which resulted in him being blamed and hated for events that were not of his making. But he lived his early life being a scapegoat and embodiment of death and destruction. Thus the fate of a Jinchurikki. Orphaned and shown very little care. Naruto was underfed, lack of nurturing, and had to be independent at a very early age. Wasn’t ever told about his heritage or history. The scene of Naruto trying to catch a fish for food basically sums up all you need to know…Mistreatment all around.. Naruto Uzumaki-, Sasuke Uchiha-. A character who comes from the infamous Uchiha clan, but was also the son of Fugaku and Mikoto. The current heads of clan. His brother Itachi, whom he worshiped and loved tore his reality from under his feet. When he came in the dead of night and slaughtered his whole entire clan in a merciless massecre. Thus killing his parents and traumatizing him for life. The Uchihas were already deemed untrustworthy and sent to live on the edge of the village. Their mistreatment and the inability of anyone in power to create a resolution, resulted in Sasuke’s disconnect, rage and anguish. Causing him to leave his village and walk a dark path in order to gain vengeance., Gaara-. Born to the sand village of Sunagakure, he was the son of the 4th Kazekage. He was a living sacrifice (a jinchurikki) thus becoming the cage for the 1st tailed beast. Gaara’s father was a merciless s.o.b. He wanted to use his son as a living weapon against competitors and other villages; negating Gaara’s humanity and psychological well being. The citizens despised Gaara as other and ostracized him. The memory of his own uncle calling him cursed and his inability to control his abilities caused him to spiral downwards into insanity. Loosing the need to sleep overtime in order to keep the beast a bay Gaara became unhinged, ruthless and sadistic. This character was even more sensitive than Naruto, and not a single soul stood by him, or for him. The last straw came by a personal betrayal….therefore life meant very little to Gaara., All of these characters have lived through suffering and not a single one of their experiences are any more or less valid than the other.

QUESTION: How many rifles, pistols, and shotguns can a person own? - ANSWER: a a person can own as many weapons as he can fit into his house. I knew a guy who collected Ruger 10/22 rifles I never knew there was so many models of a single rifle. He even had 10 of them with consecutive serial numbers in a display rack in his living room., On the other hand many people think that on the other hand many people think that you should own at least four, a shotgun, a rifle, a revolver, and an automatic pistol. These are generally considered what is necessary for immediate survival in case they have to bug out. Be reminded I am speaking for the group that people call ammosexuals so far it's been another and did I not necessarily believe or condone the collection of a full household full of firearms. For your information in the United States if you have a class 3 FFL you can also own a machine gun or a cannon. The price for an FFL I believe it's about $300 and a tensive background check

QUESTION: In Pokemon games, why can't Nidoqueen breed, but Nidoking can? - ANSWER: From what I’ve heard, it was a coding bug linked to evolution - it’s why single-stage pokemon that share a counterpart do just fine, but not evolution ones. More importantly, they do *not* share a name., They’ve fixed this since then (burmy) but kept the bug in as a grandfathered feature., See, pokemon rby were unholy messes held together with bubble gum and tape - they took out parts of coding all over the place just to fit in all the data necessary, and by doing so produced legendary glitches., G/S/C era was not better. You can still glitch in any pokemon through a combination of items, shiny or regular, that you want. You can still basically recode the games as you go. And most of the coding from Rby era was still intact., The breeding mechanics were new, as well, introduced and featured in a somewhat less broken than RBY game. The problem was this -, Nidoran F and M are linked as the same species, but they change. The same species breed code went through fine, but the species change resulted in Nidorina being misfiled when being added into the breeding mechanics., They never undid it, so it remains that way to this day., Yes, there’s a theory going around that it’s menopause, but since Nidorina is also affected, and it’s *clearly* a teenager stage, and data from the pokedex on both pokemon clearly references breeding, this is not a lore-friendly theory. Plus, it’s hard to justify that being added in explicitly on a game for little children, when other older-styled pokemon can clearly breed.

QUESTION: Do you believe there is only wrong and right and nothing else? - ANSWER: We get in trouble when we try to apply binary values to our analog world., wrong.”. always. A preacher once said to his class (this isn’t one of those made up stories, by the way… I was actually there!), “Abortion is , I wasn’t even married a year when we found out that my wife was pregnant. When we went for our first ultrasound, there was a problem. The technician couldn’t find the baby! Thanks to botched surgeries when my wife was younger, the baby wasn’t growing in the right place. It was an “ectopic pregnancy”, they said. We were lucky to have caught it when we did — had it gone much later, I might be writing this as a widower. We didn’t have a choice. We had to abort., “What if the life of the mother is in danger?” I asked., In his smug, fake, radio announcer voice, he said, “I’d hate to be God making that decision.”, I consider myself to be “pro-life”, . but I lost any shred of respect I had for him at that point., It’s easy to point out the flaws in other people, especially when they’re flaws you don’t possess. Years later, the preacher found a different way to interpret the scriptures when it was revealed that his son was a serial adulterer. Unfortunately, all he learned about moral relativism was that it only extends as far as you want it to extend. His son was free to remarry because he had the “disease” of sexual addiction. His former daughter-in-law was not because she checked the wrong box on the “reason for divorce” form., they should!. In a way, I suppose, that’s moral relativism in a nutshell. The “rules” only apply when and to whom you . think, Here’s a simpler answer: Right and wrong exist in varying degrees in varying situations. If they didn’t, we would have no need of judges or juries., Is there an objective “right”? Eh, who knows? But . if it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone., Sometimes that’s just the best we can do!

QUESTION: Is it possible for the spinal cord to become damaged from trauma without the bone surrounding it becoming damaged (barring any sort of encephalitis, or MS)? - ANSWER: Absolutely. It’s not uncommon at all for this to occur., A spinal epidural hematoma is often caused by trauma and can easily compress and damage the spinal cord without any associated fracture. In fact in the brain, in my experience it is actually more common to get brain damage without skull fracture than it is to get brain damage with skull fracture. Hydrostatic shock from blast or bullet wounds can also sometimes pass though bone and disrupt sensitive nervous tissue while leaving bone intact., That said, the spinal cord is much less vulnerable to this than the brain is, by virtue of it having more space and having less mass to bounce around. In general any traumatic injury to the spine severe enough to create significant symptoms aught to show up pretty clearly on one testing modality or another. This could be an imaging study like an MRI, a chemical analysis of spinal fluid, or a nerve function test like a conduction study. A person with completely normal testing and imaging is unlikely to have any sort of significant traumatic spinal injury.

QUESTION: Should I get plastic surgery if my parents force me? - ANSWER: If it’s for beauty enhancement, that’s up to you. It’s really about your own mental health. It may increase or decrease after the surgery, and that’s what you want to watch out for. I would generally say no for this, but that’s up to you to decide., However, if you have a big wound, you might want to get it. It’s not that people would hate to look at you, but rather your opportunities would decrease tremendously. No matter how much we try to force the issue, looks DO play a role, however slight, in everyday interactions. If you have a huge visible wound on your face, for example, an employer would probably find it much harder to hire you than someone else of the same skill level., Just how the human mind works, nothing else. In the end, it’s up to you.

This is not a discussion of weather it's right or wrong, and even if you are right in keeping a friendship with your ex, why can't you do such a harmless thing. It's something that is bothering the person involved with you in a current relationship, and while you may be logical about your friendship with your ex, sadly no amount of logic would comfort you gf., Let go of your old relationship, instead of justifying that there is nothing, etc etc. That is the only solution.

QUESTION: Why didn't Gregor Mendel find linkage? - ANSWER: The question is interesting because it relates to the claim that Mendel might have fudged his data., Genetic linkage happens when two genes appear together in a cross more often than expected. We now know that this happens when the genes are close together on a chromosome. It’s surprising that Mendel didn’t report linkage given that he studied seven traits and peas have only 7 chromosomes. The usual interpretation is that he was lucky. That’s what my graduate school mentor said., Maybe these genes are so far apart that linkage would have been hard to detect.. But that's not right because two of his traits are on chromosome 1 and three are on chromosome 4.. , , But that’s not right either because the genes Le and V are very close together. (Their recombination frequency is about 5 cM.) Mendel discussed that combination of genes in a letter he wrote to another scientist (Nageli) so he must have seen the numbers but he never mentioned linkage.. , It’s hard to avoid concluding that Mendel knew that some of his numbers violated his rule of independent assortment., Why didn’t Mendel admit seeing linkage?, We can only guess., . He had no way of knowing how serious a problem that was because modern statistical methods hadn’t been invented yet.. He might have thought it was a statistical accident and not a solid result. That makes sense given that his paper clearly acknowledges that numbers can vary on account of chance., He might have planned to study the matter further and never got to it. We know that he conducted more research with hawkweed and bees but the results were never published or saved., My favorite hypothesis is that he might have wanted to avoid confusing his readers with complicated results. That’s because when I was active in science, I learned that it is never a good idea to emphasize experimental results that didn’t fit my hypotheses, because doing so makes reviewers criticize the overall work. So, I learned how to truthfully describe discrepant results without drawing attention to them., If Mendel had reported that one of his crosses didn’t follow his laws, his readers would have used that as a reason to reject his ideas., Did Mendel fudge or fake his results?, No though he is guilty of incomplete reporting., Most of his findings have been confirmed by other researchers. Mendel’s experiments produced numbers are closer to expected values than the experiments done by others but his overall results remain valid. I explain the major theories for why this happened in another Quora answer.. , The major exception to that is the Fa gene which controls the distribution of flowers along the stem. It doesn’t show perfect Mendelian ratios because peas having that gene don’t always show the trait., More to read, This technical discussion of Mendel’s studies is first-rate:, https://academic.oup.com/jhered/article/107/7/635/2622950, I explain why people rejected Mendel’s theory here:, Israel Ramirez's answer to Why was the discovery of genetics by Mendel not widely known until 40 years after publication? Sure, it was in German, but Haeckel was one of many German Darwinists. Why did he not grasp its significance?, Mendel’s original paper is wonderfully and clearly written:, http://www.esp.org/foundations/genetics/classical/gm-65.pdf, I describe Mendel’s life here:, Israel Ramirez's answer to What challenges did Gregor Mendel face as a scientist?

QUESTION: After the Corona crisis, everything will change. Do you agree with this and what do you think? - ANSWER: Thanks Divya for requesting me to answer this question., Change is the only constant. When a pandemic hit the world, it is obvious that almost everyone who is part of civilization will be affected by it. However all the changes which Corona crisis will ensue are not necessarily negative. I would like to draw your kind attention to the following positive things., Corona virus has made us realise the importance of sanitation and social distance.. People will emphasize more on cleanliness and hygiene., People will stop taking their job/ source of earning for granted.. The fear of losing job will help everyone to stay updated by learning and sharpening their skills., . Crisis like this may come in life without notice. So before people spend money on buying luxurious items to liquors, this crisis will remind them to save money today, so that money will save them tomorrow.. People will understand the value of saving and managing money, People will realise to distinguish between need, want and luxuries of life. . As this crisis has almost affected the majority of people financially, they will understand and act accordingly. Noone is dieing because they couldn't watch movies in multiplex or couldn't travel a foreign country. These two examples are enough to describe the luxuries of life which many people often treat as their necessity., . As social distancing is the only way to prevent corona, they will have wash their dishes and clothes without taking any support from maid of outsider. Cooking is a survival skill. Even Maa ka ladla beta or Papa ki Pari, staying in a distant city will have to learn cooking because no amount of money can save them the crisis.. People will learn to be self reliant, . Remember the time, when you just booked tickets and roamed any place because you had money. No matter how much you may earn, you will be worried everytime go out. Virus may infect anyone at anytime.. People will value freedom more, People will realise money can't buy everything and happiness can be attained with minimum money.. The home cooked half roasted roti is safe to consume that the luscious lachha paratha in a restaurant. Thanks to Corona., People will realise the importance of health and life.. As per news reports, people having health issus like High BP, Diabetes are more susceptible to die in Corona. From this it can be understood that living a disciplined healthy life is more important than living a life to be cool and wealthy. As our PM Sri Modiji said ,”Jaan hai to Jahan hai.”, . Numerous people are dieing and suffering from Corona. Many have no food to eat, no house to live, many people lost their parents, relatives. Still, if you are blessed to have food to eat and house to live and your family members are alive and healthy, then you must feel grateful.. Corona crisis had taught us to be grateful, . In the month of March end, when only few coronal cases were active, people were not stepping out of house. Now, when India is witnessing death of 2000 Corona patients daily, still many of the people of working class have started working by taking precautions. With this attitude, the effect of Corona can be overpowered by our fighting spirit.. Corona crisis will make people fearless,adaptable and resilient, Everything will be alright. Till that time, everyone stay safe and keep working. .

QUESTION: Is Mukul Roy the next projected chief minister at West Bengal 2021? - ANSWER: Hello Sir, thank you for the request. So, Is Mukul Roy the next projected chief minister at West Bengal 2021?, Lets make an analysis the criteria for the selection of chief ministers by the BJP in state elections and decide whether Mukul Roy fits in the same or not., not affiliated to RSS/BJP since the beginning of his political career.. RSS/BJP Background - . The most common criterion that a BJP chief minister possess is affiliation towards the RSS or the BJP party and/or its organizational wings from the very start of the persons political career. However, Mukul Roy was formerly a Youth Congress Leader who later founded the All India Trinamool Congress alongside Mamata Banerjee. Hence he is , Mukul Roy. is primarily known for being the former No.2 in TMC and the “That former MP who jumped from TMC to BJP”.. lacks the same and . Mass Appeal - . The second most important criterion that a BJP Chief Minister should have is that their mass appeal. Be it UP’s “Yogi” Adityanath, MP’s “mama” Shivraj Singh Chouhan or Vasundhara Scindia. All the leaders have a great personality and mass appeal. However, , Generally, Chief Ministerial candidates of BJP may have pending criminal records, but almost none of them have corruption related serious cases against them (Yeddirappa excluded). However, . Mukul Roy himself is at the centre of Shardha Scam and Narada Sting operation and both of them was the reason why he jumped ships from TMC to BJP.. Corruption issues -, Clearly, Mukul Roy does not satisfy the criteria of being the CM candidate for BJP., For a different analysis, lets see how BJP treats a turncoat leader with great organizational skills, , This man is . , the Minister Finance, Planning and Development, Health and Family Welfare, Education department, P.W.D., Government of Assam.. Himanta Biswa Sarma, If anyone has a political path similar to Mukul Roy, it is him., Both of them were powerful leaders in their former parties. Both of them were accused in the Chit Fund Scam Both of them defected to BJP to save themselves from CBI Both of them have immense organizational skills., Result : Himanta Sarma has been given important portfolios in the state government and is an important leader in BJP North East Division. But is clearly not the choice for Assam CM., THUS I HOPE THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT MUKUL ROY CAN BE IN NO WAY THE CM OF BENGAL. HE CAN ONLY BE PROJECTED IN THAT MANNER TO INITIATE MORE DEFECTIONS FROM THE TMC., Thank You, All suggestions welcome.

QUESTION: Why do most wrestling fans hate Vince Russo? - ANSWER: Vince Russo had an over-inflated opinion of his abilities as a writer and a booker when he left the then WWF for WCW., He was also obsessed with wrestling newsletters and deceiving the “smart” fans that subscribed to them. So as a result when you were expecting one thing in a storyline, he would give you another no matter how little sense it made., In the book “The Death of WCW” RD Reynolds and Bryan Alverez give an example of Russo’s booking style as if Russo ran a pizza parlor., You order a pizza from VinnyRu’s, open the box, and you find a bicycle tire weighted down with rolled up newspapers. It’s not the pizza you ordered, you can’t do anything with this. It doesn’t make Russo’s pizza parlor any better, it doesn’t earn him any extra money, in fact, it actually assures that nobody wants to order from him again any time in the future, but boy oh boy did he sure get to pull one over on you., His surprises existed for the sake of being surprises, being things that nobody saw coming. But surprising doesn’t mean good. It’s like if one episode before the Game of Thrones finale half the cast unzipped their human suits, revealed themselves to be aliens from the Planet Zargdon, and blasted the other half of the cast with their ray guns., It came out of nowhere, it makes no sense, it doesn’t advance the plot, it doesn’t add to the characterization of the show, it actually goes against a massive portion of the story you’ve told already., Russo is also a big fan of breaking the fourth wall and going “LOOK! LOOK HERE! THE WHOLE REST OF THE SHOW IS SCRIPTED, BUT THIS? THIS RIGHT HERE IS REAL! THEY’RE GOING AGAINST THE SCRIPT, LOOK AT HOW EXCITING IT IS!”, Using Game of Thrones as an example again, this would be akin to a character saying “I’m going to win this dual because George RR Martin says I would!” or “I don’t fear that woman and her fake CGI dragons.”, It doesn’t add anything to the show and just insults the intelligence of your audience because you’re scripting something saying it’s real on a scripted show., For someone who made his bread and butter writing wrestling, Russo also seemed to have an almost pathological hatred of putting actual wrestling content on the show., Matches would typically only go for a few minutes, very often they’d be interrupted with somebody interfering, and then the show would go back to people talking., I don’t know why wrestling shows keep doing this. An episode of RAW recently (one of the lowest rated ever) had a shockingly small amount of wrestling. I’m not sure what the time was for the full version, but the Hulu 90 minute recut had less than fifteen minutes of wrestling., That’s like going to a hamburger place and getting a teeny tiny burger with 3/4 of the weight of your meal being one massive thing of fries. Which is perfectly fine if you’re Five Guys and are giving a normal-sized hamburger with a massive pile of fries., But if people want to stand around and see people talk, well, there’s literally the whole rest of television where they can see that. I’m not saying that you need to have a 45 minutes masterpiece of a match that makes Dave Meltzer swoon with glee every week, but if you’re a wrestling promotion you need the focus of your product to be the actual wrestling., When wrestling is good it uses the matches to tell stories, to advance the overall plot of the federation, and develop and display the characters of the performers., What Russo did then is what WWE is doing right now. Russo had three hours of Nitro and two hours of Thunder to fill. WWE has three hours of RAW, two hours of Smackdown, and an hour of 205 live (which is taped along with Smackdown)., A lot of the matches and segments don’t actually do anything to further the story, they exist entirely because there’s time to fill., A piece of advice I hear from fiction writers all the time is that if a piece of writing doesn’t have a purpose except to fill space, then it doesn’t need to be there and can be thrown out with no deleterious effect to the overall story beyond the reduced word count., And the stories Russo wanted to tell were not the stories that the audiance wanted to hear.

QUESTION: Is there a social media monitoring tool that measures activity in LinkedIn groups? - ANSWER: This could be problematic for one simple reason - social media monitoring tools can only collect mentions that are publicly availble on the internet. This means that any posts with access restriction applied to them will not be collected by those tools., In order to see the content posted in a group, one has to be a member of such community. Therefore, monitoring LinkedIn groups would be a process difficult to automate and would require a number of work arounds that still might not be enough to make the process effective and worthy of even trying.

QUESTION: How do you handle co-parenting with a narcissist in a healthy manner? - ANSWER: The only advice I can give is to help your children get stronger, and whilst being age-appropriate - but NEVER lie to them. Your children (if old enough) will need to be aware that they will at some stage - if not all the time - be treated as objects aimed at the gratification of the narcissist parent. Good therapy for them does help, and also enables you to not be the one who has to constantly point out when they are treated wrongly or badly. You have to be strong and patient and be able to handle the distress caused by the behaviour of the other parent. The best advice I was given by my child’s therapist was to protect my kids from physical harm. to not try and take sides with them, and to support my children in making their own choices. His advice was that the child will eventually gravitate to the parent that made them feel stronger and healthier emotionally. This takes time and can be heartbreaking., It also helps to swallow any pride and to negotiate with the narcissist. They will not do the right thing by their children even if it is pointed out. Swallow your outrage and natural parental anger and let them think they have got the better of you. (Go scream and swear in the garden, afterwards, if you have to!) Offer them things in exchange, encourage them that they are doing the right thing, and convince them to feel that something good for the kids is their idea. Give them the opportunity to massage their egos and boast to their flying monkeys about what a great parent they are. You - and eventually, your kids - will know the truth. At the end of the day - your job is to bring up your children to be healthy and strong adults, in what appears to be a battle zone for many, many months - if not years. When the children can see the truth and decide for themselves - that is the time to relax. Trust them, believe in them and support them with everything you have., It is hard as hell - but it has and can be done.

QUESTION: Why are LaTeX TexLive packages so large in hard disk space? - ANSWER: Packages are individually small, but Linux distributions bundle them together to ease installation., If you download the online installer from the TeX Users Group (http://tug.org/texlive) you’ll get a small executable that will present you with other options to install TeXlive, some of them uite small. The downside of this method is that package management systems will not know about TUG’s TeXlive this way., TUG’s TeXlive installer will present you with installation “schemes” and package “collections”. If you choose wisely, you can get a working TeXlive with less than 500 MiB of disc space., Among the “schemes” that I remember (I have not been using TUG’s TeXlive for more than two years) there are five most relevant (they may have deleted or added some):, scheme-full — no explanation needed;, scheme-tetex — traditional install, quite minimal;, scheme-minimal — install only TeX itself, LaTeX, a few dozen required macro and font packages;, scheme-context — replaces LaTeX by ConTeXt;, scheme-custom — lets you pick what you ant., The “collections” are a broader category, which you can pick at will even if you have already selected a “scheme” to start. There are dozens of “collections” to choose, some of them are part of the “minimal” scheme and you can’t unselect them, but others are really optional. Among the “collections” I remember there are:, collection-fonts-required, collection-fonts-extra, collection-formats-extra, collection-publishers, collection-xetex, collection-luatex, collection-humanities (this one I always install, as it pulls ‘poemscol’, which I need to maintain my poetry volumes), And finally there are language packs and documentation. TeXLive actually uses very minimal disc space for language packs because the programs themselves are not translated and there is no spell or grammar checking. What TeXLive calls “language packs” are collections of hyphenation patterns (different languages have different rules for it and some don’t hyphenate at all), item names (like ‘chapter’ → ‘capítulo’, ‘contents’ → ‘Inhaltverzeichnis’) and fonts (though most languages use the Latin alphabet, there are many which don’t, and some which require special accents or characters added to Latin letters). So, we’re left with documentation., Documentation is actually what takes up most space in any TeXLive install. Most documentation you will never read. This is especially true in Linux distributions, which bundle hundreds of different packages in a single ‘package’. Just to have ‘poemscol’, for instance, I get ‘jurabib’, which I have never used. LaTeX documentation used to be stored in ‘dtx’ files, which were compiled into ‘dvi’ files when the package was installed. You would read the ‘dvi’ when you wanted documentation., However, ‘dvi’ files were considered suboptimal, because they don’t handle hyperlinks, pictures and colour well enough (in the eyes of average users). They also have a very cumbersome limitation: the first time you read each ‘dvi’ LaTeX has to compile the fonts used in that file (if they had not yet been compiled for reading another ‘dvi’ previously). Font compilation takes time (a few seconds), then average users complained they were spending their lives waiting for ‘dvi’ compilation, apparently. Another limitation of ‘dvi’ files was that, back in the day, there were few good previewers (‘xdvi’ stinks bigtime and ‘xdvik’ only added bugs and slowness, after including ‘cjk’ support). There was also ‘dvi2tty’, which allowed you to read the text on a terminal, but it lacked accents support and didn’t show actual text formatting., Because most people didn’t know what to do with ‘dvi’ files, they were convinced to use ‘dvi’ converters, like ‘dvips’ and ‘dvipdf’ (later ‘dvipdfm’), to get the documentation in ‘ps’ format (which takes a lot of disc space and hadn’t got good graphics rendering in the previewers most people used) or ‘pdf’ format (which was gorgeously read by Adobe Acrobat Reader). Over time, people got used to ‘pdf’ more and more and ‘dvi’ files became ‘legacy’, especially after ‘pdftex’ replaced vanilla ‘tex’ as the default TeX binary in most Linux distros (in some distributions, even ‘dvi’ files are generated by ‘pdftex’ in compatibility mode)., Problem is: ‘dvi’ files are really very small. Replacing them with ‘pdf’ files increase disc usage by orders or magnitude. Just so you can understand how much, here’s a very casual example, of a document I worked on a few weeks ago:, 591 $ : ls -lha contrato.* -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 2,2K jun 12 20:52 contrato.aux -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 12K abr 24 23:19 contrato.dvi -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 38K jun 12 20:52 contrato.log -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 76K jun 12 20:52 contrato.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 144K abr 24 23:19 contrato.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 jose jose 12K jun 12 20:52 contrato.tex, only. . Notice that the ‘dvi’ file has about the same size as the source ‘tex’ file because it contains the full text and a few formatting macros . It doesn’t get bigger because it stores information in plain ‘tex’ format encapsulated in a binary. LaTeX sources can be quite verbose, by the way., will . The ‘pdf’ file gets a lot bigger because it has to embed fonts and, if you have used them, graphics. The ‘dvi’ merely references fonts (installed on TeXLive directories) and graphics (understood to be stored in the same folder as the source). Embedding fonts and graphics . disc usage (the font is now both in a directory under ‘texmf’ root directory and inside the ‘pdf’ file). This is especially atrocious (because it is a waste of space) for documentation which uses the standard TeX font (Computer Modern families), because these fonts are ‘required’ by any installation and . be available anywhere.. duplicates , A TeXLive distribution has thousands of different packages, and most of them (at least three-quarters) have extensive documentation. Considering that a ‘dvi’ file is usually only 16% of the size of the equivalent ‘pdf’ this is huge., Another thing that makes TeXLive big is keeping legacy binaries and their support files. If you dig into your system you’ll find there binaries called ‘tex’ (the original plain tex), ‘latex’ (the original ‘dvi-making’ executable), ‘omega’ (a first attempt to create a Unicode-aware TeX binary), ‘lambda’ (adaptation of latex to suit omega), ‘aleph’ (another attempt to create Unicode-aware TeX) and ‘lambda’ (its own latex). These binaries are there to keep compatibility with older versions, though very few people actually used ‘aleph’ or ‘omega’ and quite few still use ‘tex’ and ‘latex’ (the original executables). You’ll also find there ‘pdftex’ and ‘pdflatex’, but also ‘xetex’ and ‘xelatex’ and ‘luatex’ and ‘lualatex’. Each of these ‘typesetting engines’ requires a lot of other support files (some need specific fonts, some need accompanying macros etc.) and they all take up disc space., Finally, another disc space waster you’ll find is fonts. Of all those ‘typesetting engines’ mentioned above, only ‘xetex’ and ‘luatex’ (with their counterparts ‘xelatex’ and ‘lualatex’) can make use of fonts available to your system (this is ‘fontconfig’ if you are using Linux). The others need fonts residing in a special directory structure, often in a specific format (METAFONT). Some of these fonts are huge in disc size because they include literally thousands of characters split over dozens or hundreds of files (PostScript Type1 fonts are limited to 256 characters per file) and each file has a required header, again creating repetition of content. Even fonts which are not that huge are still wasters because you often have them in your system. For instance, ‘texlive-fontsextra’ installs in my ‘texmf-dist’ directory some fonts Arch Linux installs with its packages, like Google fonts Carlito, Cardo, Roboto, Tinos, Arvo etc., In theory, you could have a very small and working ‘TeXLive’ if you installed only ‘xetex’ and ‘xelatex’ (or ‘luatex’ and ‘lualatex’) with their requirements and used system fonts to produce your documents. I have never managed to do this, though, because I have always thought it easier to waste disc space than to nitpick over thousands of TeXLive packages., A few years ago there was an attempt to recreate TeX and LaTeX without all that overhead. This ‘clean-room’ reimplementation was called ANT (ANT is Not TeX) and was written in OCaml, an obscure programming language. They wanted to create a single binary capable of understanding TeX macros so that one could link a ‘LaTeX’ wrapper around it. ANT would use system fonts only and would completely drop METAFONT and most ‘legacy’ code TeXLive keeps. It would break compatibility, but could potentially make TeX obsolete for regular users., Unfortunately, ANT was not completed (when I tried to compile it, six years ago, it was so buggy that it didn’t even compile) and seems to have lapsed into oblivion.

QUESTION: What is the origin of the term 'bar', referring to an establishment where beer and liquor are sold? - ANSWER: The term “bar” to refer to a place where drinks were served on a counter dates back to the 1590s., Back in the late 12th century, English had adopted the term “bar” to mean something like a beam or a gate from Old French (which had, in turn got it from the Latin barra.), We get the word “barrier” from the same place., A bar has a counter between the person serving and the person buying, so it’s distinct from an establishment that serves drinks at the table., While we’re on the subject, the more general use of something that “generally obstructs, no matter what its shape” is 1530s…, … and bar of soap is 1833 (because it looked like the bar of a gate.), … but other meanings like “bar of candy” (1906), “bar graph” (1925), and “bar code” (1963) are all firmly 20th century, as is “behind bars” (1936).

It works out well for both of us. In actuality he does far less than $100 per month but it takes the guilt off of me for the few times I do ask for his help with anything. Perhaps you can ask your landlord if he/she needs help with anything for a reduction in rent. In my eyes its a win/win and helps develop a stronger and more trusting relationship.

QUESTION: What is the difference between procurement, sourcing, and supply chain management? - ANSWER: Procurement, sourcing, and supply chain management are all related but distinct activities that are involved in the flow of goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption., Procurement refers to the process of acquiring goods and services that a business needs to operate. This typically involves identifying the necessary goods and services, determining the most suitable suppliers, negotiating terms and conditions, and placing orders., Sourcing refers to the process of identifying and evaluating potential suppliers and selecting those that can meet the business's needs in terms of quality, price, delivery, and other factors., Supply chain management refers to the management of the flow of goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. It involves coordinating and optimizing the various activities and processes involved in the production, handling, and distribution of goods and services., In summary, procurement is focused on acquiring the goods and services that a business needs, sourcing is focused on identifying and evaluating potential suppliers, and supply chain management is focused on coordinating and optimizing the flow of goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption.

QUESTION: What would it cost a beginner to get every Hearthstone card? - ANSWER: I can only give you a broad estimate., Each expansion consist of 135 individual cards. Classic consist of 240 cards., I have at times purchased pre-release (50packs) and another 2 x 40packs but i don’t get all the cards for that specific expansion, not even after i dust and craft some cards., Each 40packs usually allow you to craft at least 1 legendary cards., So it’s safe to say that you need to perhaps buy 40packs x 8packs to be able to get all and craft all cards you do not have. (just pure estimation), Each 40packs cost about USD50.00 i think, so that works out to USD400.00 per expansion., There are 3 expansion card sets being released every year and up to 6 expansion set may be valid before the older expansion get rotated out during April., Anyhow, that means you need to be prepared to fork out USD400 x 6 = USD2400.00 to play in the Standard gameplay., Then, there is the classic set. a total of 240cards that’s evergreen, with the above estimate, you probably need to purchase 12 x 40packs to have all the card, which will work out to be USD600.00, So to have all standard cards & classic cards, you have to be prepared to fork out USD3000.00, That’s excluding all the older cards that has been rotated out. If you want to include those, you have to fork out another USD3000 perhaps?, So for a beginner to have ALL cards, be prepared to fork out easily USD5000.00, Let me remind you again, i have often times buy pre-release + 1 x 40packs at least and couple with the gold that i’ve farmed over time before each new release, i usually have the equivalent of 130packs each release., I do not have all the cards., Legendary are hard to get and expensive to craft.

Someone sees a need for them and creates them. Then people work together to improve them consensually - that is, by the same discussion process that goes on for developing articles. That process is bound by various policies and guidelines. Usually, one can work out what to do based on previous practice., If there is some significant issue with them that might mean they need deletion, they go to "templates for discussion", which is basically the template equivalent of articles for deletion. They are then deleted or kept according to community consensus.

When you use a formula to generate passwords over time, this means that knowledge of your past passwords can be used to reduce the number possibilities for future passwords, making a brute force attack easier. The same is true of a formula that is used across multiple sites — and it doesn’t take much of a history for a good attacker to be able to narrow the password search space down to a feasible size., An attacker can easily find out this personal information. It has been suggested that many “harmless” social media quizzes are designed to gather this information either to correlate with specific victims or to develop attack profiles that use the most-likely data (such as pet’s name “Buddy” or “Daisy”) in the hopes of getting a hit at random..

For example, if you used the same password for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, , If you have relatively few accounts, by all means use the diceware technique to generate a unique, random, and strong password for each one of them. However, I find that some sites will not accept these passwords as secure, and although they are easier to memorize than random strings of letters, it is hard to memorize a lot of them. I personally have nearly a dozen different passwords that I use every week, and over 500 passwords that I use at least once a year. . There is no way to keep this many passwords straight without a password manager., If you work in a highly secure space, where you cannot have outside devices or connectivity, consult with your supervisor and information securtiy team regarding password selection and management. It is likely that they have specific standards that you must maintain, and it is also likely that they have a solution in place.

QUESTION: What do you know about the transport and storage of a color-coated aluminum sheet? - ANSWER: The color coated aluminum sheet is a commonly used material. Colored aluminum sheets are usually purchased in large quantities, which entails delivery to ports or store houses. If the sheets are not used immediately, they should be stored reasonably. This article shares transport and storage of color coated aluminum sheet., Storage of color coated aluminum sheet, 1. The storage environment should be dry, bright, well ventilated, and free from corrosive weather. At the time of storage, the bottom of the floor is separated from the ground by a mat., 2. Ensure that the oxide film and paint film on the surface of the profile are not damaged and use qualified cement and sand. It is strictly forbidden to store together with chemical materials and moist materials. After processing into doors and windows, clean with regular cloth and neutral., , 3, in the daily transportation and preservation should pay attention to the humidity and storage environment, to prevent storage with chemicals, resulting in damage to the color coated aluminum coil., Delivery of color coated aluminum sheet, 1. The sheet packages must be handled gently during transportation to prevent surface damage from being affected by bumping. It should be covered with tarpaulin during transportation to avoid the intrusion of rain and snow frost., 2. When transporting at high temperature, put the desiccant in the middle or open the small hole on both sides for the color coated aluminum coil to breathe, or place the exhaust system to avoid the occurrence of high temperature after the water droplets appear during transportation. The neatness causes oxidation of the aluminum coil., 3. Pay attention to the environment and dry ventilation when transporting. Do not put together chemical materials such as corrosives to avoid unnecessary losses., 4. When the larger size materials are stacked together, the materials are separated by materials such as wood strips to prevent friction damage during stacking or picking up., The color coated aluminum sheets need to be tested by our staff and users according to their requirements from the production to the transportation after use. Many people have reacted to their products in a short time and have problems. It is a quality problem. In fact, in addition to quality, there may be daily neglect of protection, so everyone should reasonably store and transport.

QUESTION: Would it have been possible for the Shuttle Columbia crew to fix the damaged wing while it was in orbit? - ANSWER: Not without outside help and supplies. The best case scenario if they were in orbit and realized they could not land would be for rescue missions to be launched to take off the crew., It is conceivable that with enough supplies and several space walks a temporary emergency fix might have been done using the ablative foam which had been designed in the late 1970’s but never tested in orbit. This would involve placing a backing plate inside the hole in the wing, then filling the space between the backing plate and the original wing shape with an injection of ablative foam with a consistency much like the one time use heat shields on the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules., , Then with a volunteer commander and pilot the shuttle might have been able to land, but even with the repairs it would have been very risky. Doing the foam patch would change the flying characteristics of the orbiter through the upper atmosphere, and at those speeds even a slight angle change can cause catastrophic aerodynamic forces that would tear the orbiter apart. It is believed that as the Columbia was over Texas on its last mission the damage caused a significant shift in the drag on the airframe. As the drag kept increasing it reached the point where the RCS system could no longer compensate and the orbiter started to tumble, at which point the sheer forces tore it into pieces., ,

QUESTION: Can you feed a horse too much grain? - ANSWER: Yes, it IS possible to feed a horse too much grain. Do NOT do that!, Horses cannot vomit. They have no way to expel excess grain without digesting it first. Grain is a highly concentrated food which horses have not developed the digestion to handle in large quantities., Horses are designed by nature to eat grasses which are 93% (variable, of course) moisture. They graze nearly constantly when good grazing is available. Grain is by contrast less than 8% moisture (in general) and is much more difficult for horses to digest., Horses can develop many life-threatening conditions from eating large quantities of grain. They can develop chronic or acute lameness called founder or laminitis, which is a dreadful way for a horse to die. They can die of intestinal blockage or torsion. If they do not die they can still suffer from gastric or hind gut ulcers., Do not over-feed grain to a horse! Be careful not to allow a horse access to unlimited grain. Secure your grain storage to prevent accidental access. If you want to feed a large amount of good quality grass hay that is far better than feeding too much grain.

QUESTION: Who is the better swordsman between Aragorn and Jon Snow? - ANSWER: Aragorn. and it is not close. By the end of A dance with dragons, Jon is almost 18 years old and has certainly become a fine swordsman, but nothing extraordinary. He is easily defeated by Mance Rayder, who is very skilled, but also likely over 40 years old and hasn’t been involved in a duel for years as far as we can tell., , Jon is also just a normal human. While he is driven, brave and goodhearted, he is still only human., Compared to other known fighters from A song of ice and fire, Jon is average at best. Characters like Sandor, Brienne, Barristan and Oberyn would defeat Jon without breaking a sweat - but even those 4 would be thoroughly outclassed by Aragorn., , Aragorn is in his 80s during the Fellowship of the ring, but is still in his prime. He has fought for longer than Barristan Selmy has, but without any weakening of his body. He is stronger and faster than any normal human., Aragorn is actually more comparrable to someone like Geralt of Rivia - as he is a level or two beyond what is physically and mentally possible for a regular old member of homo-sapiens to ever be.,

QUESTION: What can be done to avoid crying when you are correct but everyone thinks you are wrong and makes you angry? - ANSWER: Had a job like that. I don’t know if most places are doing this but back then there was that dreaded “net promoter score” that my place of business was always chasing., Needless to say, I tried doing things their way and the boss just kept on me., I was a pretty creative type so I needed something to help me get these damn scores or at least motivate people to take the fucking survey. I found my something and I used it. I honed the entire stupid bit and explained it every time I did it. I won two customer service awards and if someone had had a humor bypass surgery (that involves surgical insertion of a stick so far up their ass you can see it when they fucking speak) then I just didn’t do it for them., One survey changed all that. I got a low as hell score and everyone went insane. I wasn’t to do anything anymore, just play it straight. We were killing what carried the store for a long while over One…Humorless…Person., For two years, never a complaint. Customers that had shit experiences, I turned that shit around. Customers with kids, ended up with well-behaved hellspawn once I engaged them with that bit. You think that my method was proven and solidified. Nope. One…Humorless…Person killed it., My boss then tells me I seemed “insistent on keeping the bit despite having been talked to about it several times.” If you count the several times AFTER that humorless fuck dropped their low score on me, yeah, sure. Up until then, No One Said A Fucking Word., I accepted it. It fucking infuriated me. I wanted to quit. If their fucking way had worked then, goddammit, I never would have even done what the hell I did which provided them with great scores and won me two goddamn awards. It took me a couple of days to calm down because the entire thing just soured me. We were killing all this over one person., Fine. Let’s do that., Our scores fell and now they’re scrambling for answers. During a meeting, they looked at me and asked what happened., All I offered with a smile was, “Yeah, what happened?”, I didn’t offer solutions. I was playing it straight. I was doing things their way to the best of my ability. The scores came up and down, no one ever got named, maybe once every blue moon and it was driving them up a wall. The way I figured it, if they couldn’t smell shit when it was in their lap I wasn’t about to point it out to them., Passive-Aggressive? Yeah. Just don’t shoot yourself in the foot and wonder where all the blood is coming from., My suggestion based on this experience alone. Do whatever you can do and find another job in the meantime, secretly, silently. That’s what I did. Take yourself out of their equation and see how long until they start blaming each other for shit that gets fucked up.

QUESTION: How can alternating current be stored? - ANSWER: The closest in theory to actual storage of AC current that comes to mind is a very high Q resonant circuit. The energy is actually continuously transferred from the inductor to the capacitor and back with a sinewave shape. In reality due to losses the Q is a finite number limiting the number of cycles., There are many ways to store energy and convert to AC as needed like the UPS mentioned by Marcus. The UPS typically uses DC batteries to store the energy.

QUESTION: How do I stop using the pizza/wedge method of braking while skiing? - ANSWER: As others say:, You never entirely "stop using it". It is still useful some times. For example going to down a slow, narrow path with lots of people it is a safe way to slow without needing to turn. , But if you are really saying "how do I move on, and how do I start parallel turns" then you probably need an instructor to help that.
