Hardback books take up so much room I don't have.... is there a legal PDF somewhere I can purchase?
As much as I like having the hardcover core rule-books in front of me, usually I read or reference most information for RPGs on my computer.  Unfortunately, my google-fu has failed me at finding places to buy a Player's Handbook PDF, or even whether said PDF exists at all.  My question is this: Is there any place I can go to legally buy a D&amp;D 5e core rulebook PDF?  I'm not looking for the starter set or basic rules, since those are incomplete (and free), I'm just looking for the core books in PDF format.
How can I add a program to the context menu of all files? Cam I have two GFCIs connected to one double gang box in my laundry room and if so can I do a single line connection so that they both can work independently?  I have a 12/2 going from the panel through conduit (copper wire) to the double gang box. I want to have each GFCI to run independently without using the load. Why, in case one shuts off the other isn't affected. the double gang box is standard. the device is a Leviton 20 amps. I was told that you can run 12/2 from the panel to the first GFCI black and white. Then connect the second GFCI using a jumper and attaching it to he second GFCI. Is this acceptable by code. we use a washer,dryer in the laundry and the garage heavy machinery. so why should this be a problem running two independent? In a standing wave, how does energy travel past a node?  It should just get reflected. Assume the case of first overtone and you strike the string at a place. How will energy distribute itself?  If it distributes over the whole string, then how is it the wave traveled past a node?  Basically the problem is a standing wave has been set up in the string . Now you strike the string at a place, and this creates a new pulse. Now this pulse will travel past the next node in the string (not the boundary) or will it reflect off even that node and remain confined to a particular region of the string? Are continuous self-bijections of connected spaces homeomorphisms? I hope this doesn't turn out to be a silly question.  There are lots of nice examples of continuous bijections $X\to Y$ between topological spaces that are not homeomorphisms.  But in the examples I know, either $X$ and $Y$ are not homeomorphic to one another, or they are (homeomorphic) disconnected spaces.    My Question: Is there a connected topological space $X$ and a continuous bijection $X\to X$ that is not a homeomorphism?    For the record, my example of a continuous bijection $X\to X$ that is not a homeomorphism is the following.  Roughly, the idea is to find an ordered family of topologies $\tau_i$ ( $i\in \mathbb Z$) on a set $S$ and use the shift map to create a continuous bijection from $\coprod_{i\in \mathbb Z} (S, \tau_i)$ to itself.  Let $S = \mathbb{Z} \coprod \mathbb Z$.  The topology $\tau_i$ is as follows: if $i&lt;0$, then the left-hand copy of $\mathbb Z$ is topologized as the disjoint union of the discrete topology on $[-n, n]$ and the indiscrete topology on its complement, while the right-hand copy of $\mathbb Z$ is indiscrete.  The space $(S, \tau_0)$ is then indiscrete.  For $i&gt;0$, the left-hand copy of $\mathbb Z$ is indiscrete, while the right-hand copy is the disjoint union of the indiscrete topology on $[-n, n]$ with the discrete topology on its complement.  Now the map $\coprod_{i\in \mathbb Z} (S, \tau_i)\to \coprod_{i\in \mathbb Z} (S, \tau_i)$ sending $(S, \tau_i) \to (S, \tau_{i+1})$ by the identity map of $S$ is a continuous bijection, but not a homeomorphism. Does any uncountable set contain two disjoint uncountable sets? Is it true that for any uncountable $S$, there exits two uncountable subsets $S_1,S_2 \subseteq S$ with $S_1 \cap S_2 = \emptyset$?   I can find no counter example, but no proof either.  I am aware of similar questions regarding the partition of uncountable subsets of the real line, and there are many examples of disjoints uncountable subsets of $\mathbb{R}$, say $R_1,R_2$.   It is not clear to me however whether this extends to any uncountable set. For uncountable sets $S$ with $S \succeq_{card} \mathbb{R}$, there exists an injection $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow S$ and choosing $S_1,S_2$ with $S_i = \{s\in S~|~ s = f(r_i) $ for some $ r_i \in R_i\}$, works.   But from what I understood of the continuum hypothesis, there might exist an uncountable sets $H$ with $\mathbb{R} \succeq_{card} H$. So using the above argument, one cannot infer that the property holds for every uncountable sets from observing that it holds for $\mathbb{R}$. Is this right? Are there other ways to prove or disprove the assertion? Can open sets and closed sets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ be homeomorphic? Suppose $A$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ considered as a topological subspace. Suppose $B$ is a another susbet of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and under the induced topology, is homeomorphic to $A$.  If $B$ is closed and bounded, then by the Heine-Borel theorem, $B$ is compact as a topological space so $A$ and $B$ cannot be homeomorhpic, because $A$ is not compact. But if $B$ is not bounded, what can be said about $B$, if any? Must $B$ be open, can it ever be closed (let's leave out the only case of being both open and closed--the entire ambient space $\mathbb{R}^n$), or can it be neither open nor closed? Are delphi variables initialized with a value by default? mkdir error: no such file or directory on a linux machine running CENTOS v 7.8.2003 I am in a directory Neutrinos I now do  mkdir /pionloop/ this works. I then go to into this new directory pionloop and do mkdir /E_0.3 and this works as well. I thus have as a result a directory Neutrinos/pionloop/E_0.3.  Now, starting in Neutrinos I want to do this in one command and therefore do mkdir /pionloop/E_0.3 and get: `mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/pionloop/E_3.0’: No such file or directory  What is going wrong here?? How to delete specific lines from a txt file I have a Bash script that writes data into a log file, then from that I take out stuff I want using the sed command. That gives me a file data.txt. What I want to know is how I go about deleting specific line inside that data.txt file.  For example:  123 456 789   I want to remove the 2nd line, containing 456 so that I only have  123  789   I tried with sed '2d' data.txt but it doesn't work.  I use this command to create data.txt from log.log:  sed -nE '1s/.{1}(.{2}).*/\1/p;' log.log &gt;&gt; data.txt Why would someone buy a way out-of-the-money call option that's expiring soon? I swing trade equity options every once in a while for fun. This morning I witnessed something I do not understand at all.  In the attached photo, why would someone purchase 6 contracts for .05 at $76.  I just can't wrap my head around this!    Scenario:   Underlying Asset: RY.TSX  Current Price: $71.70 Days to expiry: 4 Days     EDIT: It happened again the next day with 74, see new table with headers as per request:   My only reason for asking is because RY.TSX is the Royal Bank of Canada, this stock will not move multiple dollars in 3 days(expiry in this scenario).  Why buy 10 @ 74 for .04 each instead of just buying 10 @73 for .04 which would have gone through.  If you do the math(excluding commissions): .04 * 100(shares in a contract) * 10 contracts = $40 Stock moves to 74 and they are in the money lets say for .20 .20*100*10 = $200  I just don't see the reward as 99% of the time you will lose this wager, it is just not worth it even if it does happen once in a blue moon.  I can think of much better things to do with $40.  For the skeptics another screen shot to actually confirm this order: What is the difference between Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics in a nutshell? What is Lagrangian mechanics, and what's the difference compared to Newtonian mechanics? I'm a mathematician/computer scientist, not a physicist, so I'm kind of looking for something like the explanation of the Lagrangian formulation of mechanics you'd give to someone who just finished a semester of college physics.  Things I'm hoping to have explained to me:   What's the overall difference in layman's terms? From what I've read so far, it sounds like Newtonian mechanics takes a more local "cause-and-effect"/"apply a force, get a reaction" view, while Lagrangian mechanics takes a more global "minimize this quantity" view. Or, to put it more axiomatically, Newtonian mechanics starts with Newton's three laws of motion, while Lagrangian mechanics starts with the Principle of Least Action. How do the approaches differ mathematically/when you're trying to solve a problem? Kind of similar to above, I'm guessing that Newtonian solutions start with drawing a bunch of force vectors, while Lagrangian solutions start with defining some function (calculating the Lagrangian...?) you want to minimize, but I really have no idea. What are the pros/cons of each approach? What questions are more naturally solved in each? For example, I believe Fermat's Principle of Least Time is something that's very naturally explained in Lagrangian mechanics ("minimize the time it takes to get between these two points"), but more difficult to explain in Newtonian mechanics since it requires knowing your endpoint. The mediation package in R returns results in which:   Average Direct Effect (ADE) (the unmediated effect) is not statistically significant The Average Causal Mediated Effect (ACME) (the effect of the mediator alone) is positive and statistically significant The Total Effect (ADE+ACME) is larger than the ADE and ACME alone, positive and statistically significant   Does this indicate that the variable being mediated can only act through the mediator DV? I'm not quite certain as to how this would be interpreted.  Thank you for any help. Python Script to Add Fields to Feature Classes I have to try to add a field called 'Name' to a bunch of different feature classes using python, and then access the name of the feature class to fill in the field. I have no idea how to even start this! I know I need a loop but that's all I know. Attempted multiple solutions for malwares like androidSystem, timeService and monkeyTest, but to no avail What happens when identical overlapping effects have their end-condition met? I'm creating a historically inspired campaign where the standard fantasy races are extremely intermingled, and conflict is usually based on politics or religion, rather than species divisions. I can't, however, think of a good word to separate the PC races (Elves, dwarves, humans, halflings... you guys know.) from the monsters and creatures who live outside society. Basically, if in the real world someone would say: "I refuse to kill another human." in this setting I need a catch-all word to replace human.  Sentient sounds too sci-fi. Kindred sounds too... Vampire-y. Any suggestions? longtabu and color compatibility How can I change the icon of an application in the Unity launcher? I'm trying to change the icon of a specific application (Pidgin) in my Ubuntu 11.10 Unity launcher. I have tried searching in the options and in the Compiz settings but could locate no option for changing individual icons.  I can change the theme but that's not what I want.   I am willing to edit configuration files to get this change. It doesn't have to be a UI solution. Can you cast a spell learned from the Magic Initiate feat using spell slots? Say I play a wizard who learns cure wounds by taking the Magic Initiate feat. Could I cast that spell using the Wizard's spell slots? What is $\int_{-\pi}^\pi \cos(nx)\cos(mx)\,dx$? I'm pretty sure that there's a theorem that says that the Fourier coefficients of a sum of $\cos(nx)$ and $\sin(nx)$ 's are the coefficients of the sum itself.   I tried to prove that in the specific case of $f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(nx)}{n^2}$. In calculating the Fourier coefficients I got to calculating  $\cos(nx)\cdot\cos(mx)$, but I'm now stuck. Any tips would be appreciated!
