Captain America's metabolism is four times faster than normal humans (Atleast in MCU). He can't get drunk as a result of this.  It got me wondered, how much does Captain America need to eat and poop? His appetite should be higher and he should digest foods faster.
In both the movies and comics Cap gains his peak human strength via the supersoldier serum and a does of vita rays, resulting in the rapid development of his super buff body:     While the most obvious real world analogue would be the use of steroids, these would still require that the person taking them train extensively and significantly increase their protein intake in order to gain muscle mass. While there are frequent scenes of Steve training in both mediums I've yet to see any scenes of him eating a 12-egg omelette or downing protein shakes. Are there any in-world explanations that would account for the increased muscle mass? Extra-dimensional energy conversion?
Grammatical number agreement in a complex phrase using singular "they" another question, I used the following phrase:     Your reader is [...], but they are a busy person.   I have two difficulties here:   In the first phrase, a reader, being singular noun, certainly implies is; In the second phrase, they, being a plural pronoun (regardless that it refers a single person), still requires are, but are implies the plural for busy persons which sounds awkward (a reader &lrarr; persons);   Obviously, if I used "...but he is a busy person", everything works fine, but I'm trying to use a gender-agnostic form.  What is the proper number agreement here? Accumulation Points for $S = \{(-1)^n + \frac1n \mid n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ I was recently asked to find the accumulation points of the set $$S = \{(-1)^n + \frac{1}{n} \mid n \in \mathbb{N}\}$$  I answered that the accumulation points are $\{-1,1\}$, because despite the fact that $\frac{1}{n}$ diverges, we can still use $\frac{1}{n}$ to find an element arbitrarily close to either $1$ or $-1$, i.e. to show that there is an element in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of $1$ or $-1$. (No proof was required for this question --- this is my intuition.)  Am I right at all? Suppose we have $n$ covariates $x_1, \dots, x_n$ and a binary outcome variable $y$. Some of these covariates are categorical with multiple levels. Others are continuous. How would you choose the "best" model? In other words, how do you choose which covariates to include in the model?  Would you model $y$ with each of the covariates individually using simple logistic regression and choose the ones with a significant association? How to set ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste and ctrl+shift+c to kill process in xfce4-terminal? Hello I can't find the option to reassign shortcuts in xfce4-terminal 0.6.3. I'd like to reassign ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste and ctrl+shift+c to kill process. I know I can do that easily under gnome-terminal but since I'm using xfce I would like to avoid installing all the dependencies for gnome-terminal. Any idea on how to achieve that ? Installing Reaver 1.4 I am trying to install reaver 1.4, but when I run ./configure ; make I get this message at the end  int ret_val = EXIT_FAILURE, r = 0;   I have searched a fair bit and cannot find an answer, any help would be appreciated. I apologize if this has been answered and I've just failed to find it. How to make a process invisible to other users? How could you launch a process and make it invisible to the top command? The process is started by a normal user (not root), and should not be visible to other normal users. $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that takes each value in $\mathbb{R}$ twice Does there exist a continuous function $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that takes each value in $\mathbb{R}$ exactly two times? Is there a way to xcopy just changed or new files? I am trying to deploy a website from my desktop to my webserver and so right now I am doing this:   xcopy C:\source X:\destination /s   My desktop is a Windows XP machine, and I need to copy to a Windows Server 2008 machine, but this copies everything and the whole site is very large and it takes a really long time to finish copying.   Is there a way to specifically just copy new or updated files? I see you can pass in a changed-since date, but I wanted to see if there is a simpler way to compare against the destination file...  Also, I am open to using anything outside of xcopy that can do the job as well... What are Thumbs.db files for? How can I prevent them from being created? Why doesn't the command "ls | file" work? I've been studying about the command line and learned that | (pipeline) is meant to redirect the output from a command to the input of another one. So why does the command ls | file doesn't work?  file input is one of more filenames, like file filename1 filename2  ls output is a list of directories and files on a folder, so I thought ls | file was supposed to show the file type of every file on a folder.  When I use it however, the output is:      Usage: file [-bcEhikLlNnprsvz0] [--apple] [--mime-encoding] [--mime-type]         [-e testname] [-F separator] [-f namefile] [-m magicfiles] file ...     file -C [-m magicfiles]     file [--help]   As there was some error with the usage of the file command Salesforce REST API authentication? I feel like this should be really easy to do, but I can't find anything about it on the web. Is there a way, through either javascript or a java web servlet, to skip the subsequent authentication?  We are trying to use the REST Api in production, but the problem is, that each time you refresh the page in javascript, or delete the cookies in java, you have to login again to salesforce.  Is there some way to do an ajax call or the login in the background or whatever, so that you can have your application connecting to salesforce right away? error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. grub rescue&gt;   What can I do? I just sit and stare at it.   I found my old netbook (Dell Inspiron 1010) which I have not used for about four years. I replaced Windows XP with Ubuntu 12.10. I used my bootable USB drive. I installed and rebooted. I got the message that normal.mod is not found.   What should I do? Type exit, reboot, or quit? Should I re-install? Deleting self-answered question gets "Delete this answered question" warning Sublime Text 3 System Package Location? For a while now I've noticed that if I take a cup of hot tea and pour it into two cups and leave it then both cups will cool faster than the single cup.  How is it that nature cools two cups of tea in parallel more quickly? It's still the same amount of tea but it gets cooled quicker if I have two cups. What's the best way to use matching methods with multiple treatment groups? I'm assessing the impact of an intervention on an outcome. For my first analysis, I used the MatchIt package (see code below) to match treatment and control groups and to compare outcomes for the treated vs control. The Treat variable is 0 or 1.  nn_match &lt;- matchit(treat ~ cov1 + cov2+ cov3 ,                      method = "nearest", data = df)   In my second analysis, I'd like to assess the effect of different treatment levels (for example, I have Treatment A, Treatment B, and Treatment C) on the outcome, but I'm stuck on the best way to proceed. Does it make sense to run separate matching analysis for each treatment group while excluding the observations from the other treatments groups?   nn_treatA_match &lt;- matchit(treat_A ~ cov1 + cov2+ cov3 ,                      method = "nearest", data = df_minus_other_treatBC) nn_treatB_match &lt;- matchit(treat_B ~ cov1 + cov2+ cov3 ,                      method = "nearest", data = df_minus_other_treatAC)   Or is there a way to run the analysis with the entire dataset and match controls to each treatment at the same time? Other posts have mentioned the twang package, but I'm not sure if that's what I should go with as I'd like to compare outcomes for each treated group to the control and not just across treated groups. Which book (free or otherwise) was the most useful to you when you started learning LaTeX?  I am frequently asked this question by friends who want to learn LaTeX, and I recommend the book which got me started, , but I feel that there might be better options around.  Also see . In Windows 7, I know you can do Windows + Left to put a window in the left half of the screen.  Is there a feature that will do top and bottom?
