I DM for a group of a group of rather intellectual players. They like to discuss the situations at hand and really try to do the right things. I use that a lot by posing them with moral questions and missions where the "good" solution is not always obvious or even contradicts the mission target.  So far this worked out very well, but last round a new player joined our game. She plays an impatient, man-hating Amazon (her self-chosen description). The man-hating part kinda does work since she frequently gets into arguments with the male players, which is funny, but the impatient part is the real trouble.  Whenever the group stops to discuss something, she interrupts and just wants to fight stuff. Whenever they talk (in character) about anything else than the mission she interrupts saying that it doesn't matter or doesn't help the group.  Also, whenever someone says anything against her, she does get a bit offended.  In the end of the mission I put a moral choice, where they had to retrieve a magical object, but by doing so kill a whole forest and everything within it. While the rest of the group was discussing it, and trying to find a different solution (of which there where some), she just went ahead and cut that object from it's socket, thus killing the whole forest. This in turn will have negative consequences for the group and the world they live in in the sessions to come.  I expected her to be like that so I included a couple of things where only thinking would get them ahead and just charging into fights would hurt them, but she doesn't care about consequences and just barges in.  Since she doesn't fit into the group at all, I'd usually just put her into another of my groups where she'd fit better, but she's the girlfriend of one of the core players of that group, so I can't do that.  I thought about having an NPC, that the rest of the group know, join the group and keep her in check every time she goes overboard again, but I fear that by limiting her I'd take the fun away for her.  My problem here is not that I don't want the players to commit mass murder. I have another group that is quite murderous and that's fine. The problem here is that I have a quite homogenous group and one player that really doesn't fit the group. It's not even so much about her murdering people (which can be quite fun in an otherwise good minded group) but that she is disrupting the kind of play that the other players want to have.  Do you have any ideas what I can do here?  This is not so much a My-Guy-Syndrome, but rather a clash of expectations. I talked to the player in question. It is really not about her "having" to stick to her character, but rather that her character reflects herself. She says of herself that she is impatient and that she rather wants to fight than to discuss. In the end she wanted to get transferred into my other group, which is more combat-oriented and generally more diverse.
I've been reading forum posts and blogs who mention "my guy" syndrome as a specific type of difficult player, but I can't seem to find a solid definition for the term. Can someone explain this particular kind of problem player to me? How do you deal with this kind of problem?
Does not the mass of those living on the Earth add on to the mass of the Earth or is it too negligible to be cared for? : Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (or   5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms). Since Earth is too big   to be placed on a scale, scientists use mathematics and the laws of   gravity to figure out Earth's weight.   So, this seems to be a constant. But I guess it doesn't consider the things that are on the earth, the trees, buildings, people, animals, water etc...  So, are all the above mentioned things' mass is too small or negligible to be left off? Elementary OS PPA gives “The repository does not have a Release file.” error I am running Ubuntu Bionic Beaver.

I'm asking about someone who's employed by a company and does different jobs (both a qualified and unqualified person). Who knows; maybe in English those two are two different words? What are they called in English?  All I know is a navvy but that usually means physical work.  Let me just try a few things here.

I know how to redirect output and how to  in bash. Now, suppose I accidentally forgot to append the output redirection part to the command (e.g. 2&gt;&amp;1 or &gt; /tmp/mystdout) and my background process is already running for a while, can I still change to where stdout and stderr are being written to? I really would like not to kill and restart the application.  To be more specific as asked by  in his comment, I would like to fiddle with it in these scenarios in specific:   wrong output file forgot to redirect stderr to stdout   or a combination of both  E.g. I have Apache running and I can see the file descriptors:  /proc/8019/fd/0 -&gt; /dev/null /proc/8019/fd/1 -&gt; /dev/null /proc/8019/fd/2 -&gt; /var/log/apache2/error.log Is there a good word for a square-rectangle relationship? Any given square is always a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square, so squares and rectangles have a _ relationship. I've been noticing this sort of thing everywhere ever since I noticed that I didn't know a good word for it. I've been calling it a container relationship because one class of things is contained within a larger class of things. However, a "container" relationship doesn't sound very good and doesn't really convey the meaning on its own. A more elegant word would be helpful.  Edit: A specific definition would be something like: a is always b. b is sometimes a. Journals selection - alternative criteria to impact factor While trying to select the journals I can submit my present work and future work, I realize the time between the date the authors send the article to the journal and when the revised article is submitted. Usually this is something between 6 months and more than 12 months.  Althought I am focusing on the Impact Factor (IF) to select journals, I think that 12 months to have a feedback that might include "add more variables analysis","this article will be more valuable if you test also model x,y and z", can have a huge impact on you work. It will make you stop what you are currently doing and possible spend up to 2 months making the changes. This might make a big mess on your work if you have deadlines to respect, however this happens to everyone in academia.  My question is, besides the IF journal based selection, how can we select a journal with enought quality with lower IF? What alternative criteria should one use to select the journal? Should we choose newly created Journals? How to change keyboard layout in Lubuntu 15.10? I have recently upgraded my PC from Lubuntu 14.10 to 15.10. Before the upgrade my keyboard layout matched my Danish keyboard. But after the upgrade I probably have a standard English/US layout.   Preferences/Language Support, doesn't let me configure the keyboard layout. Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse, only let me configure stroking delay and similar.    I don't know about iBus and fcitx, as far as the tooltip infomation tells me, its for more complex languages such as Chinese.  I don't have a US icon in the taskbar, no keyboard and/or language icon at all.  Things I have tried:   Running the following in a terminal works, but only until the next reboot:  setxkbmap -layout dk  I got the following parameter in the file /etc/default/keyboard:  XKBLAYOUT="dk"  Installing and running the app Lxkeymap changes the keyboard to Danish when I run it, but rebooting will change the layout back to US.   I don't want anything fancy, I just want to set my keyboard layout to Danish. How can I do that? every rank 2 oriented matroid is realizable Can a java file have more than one class? Assignment statement used in conditional operators Is there a way to move a Trello Checklist to a different Card?

I'm looking for a javascript that can limit the number of lines (by line I mean some text ended by user pressing enter on the keyboard) the user is able to enter in textarea. I've found some solutions but they simply don't work or behave really weird. The best solution would be a jquery plugin that can do the work - something like , but it should be able to limit text line count not character count. In classical statistics, there is a definition that a statistic $T$ of a set of data $y_1, \ldots, y_n$ is defined to be complete for a parameter $\theta$ it is impossible to form an unbiased estimator of $0$ from it nontrivially. That is, the only way to have $E h(T (y )) = 0$ for all $\theta$ is to have $h$ be $0$ almost surely.   Is there a intuition behind this? Is seems like a rather mechanical way of defining this, I am aware this has been asked before, but was wondering if there was a very easy to understand intuition that would make introductory students have an easier time digesting the material. Show that any set in a metric space can be written as the intersection of open sets I'm running the Storm King's Thunder campaign, and we are at the portion where the PCs get an airship to travel around in, the airship is about 1000ft in the air. There are approximately 5-6 lvl 7 PCs, and they have 3 or 4 hard encounters a day. There are two wizards, a warlock, ranger, paladin, blood hunter, sorcerer, and fighter. For the most part, they have had fun with the different weapons and enemies they have faced; however, I find that one or two spellcasting PCs have been using spells such as mind sliver, polymorph, and hypnotic pattern to defeat more challenging encounters, such as one with a roc and wyvern. They make the creature make saving throws with hypnotic pattern and cause the enemy to fall to its death, and using mind sliver makes it even harder, especially on low wisdom creatures like rocs. Or with the polymorph spell, they cause the enemy to become a fish or chicken and throw it off the edge, and since the damage carries over, it kills the monster. I realize it was legal and made fights funnier, but it does get annoying when it's happening in almost every fight. Are there any suggestions on how to keep them on track without them making every encounter easy? I thought of giving the monsters immunity to these effects, but it just sounds like a bad excuse for me not being prepared. Restored iOS 10 with broken Home button I restarted my iPhone 6 running iOS 10 and the home button is broken, so I was using Assistive Touch. But at the first launch, Assistive Touch is disabled. On iOS 10, we have to "Press home button to unlock".  What can I do? I noticed a peculiar behavior of my Ubuntu 13.04 (although possibly it's also present in previous versions): when my system freezes completely (I do not ask for troubleshooting this) so that even X does not respond to Ctrl+Alt+FX keys, the CapsLock toggle diode on my keyboard blinks (with frequency of ~1Hz), although the system is completely unresponsive.   What is the cause of this phenomena? Is it caused by some internal kernel mechanisms? Is this specific to Ubuntu (is it caused some custom Ubuntu additional software)? Does it has anything to do with HAL? What is the purpose of it? Can I customize this behavior on Ubuntu? Let us say I have added a PPA that has X package that I want but it also has Y package that I do not want to use or receive updates from. How can I, from the same PPA, receive updates for a specific package but deny updates from the same PPA for other packages.  A step by step example would be good since this has happened to me in several PPAs that have a particular package I want but also add a whole bunch of others that I do not yet want to update.
