I don't know how I ended up with 2 objects that share the same mesh (Cube.143) in my bench model; I want to have a unique mesh for each. Suggestions welcome. thanks  ps: I can't find any apparent linkage between the two objects.
I duplicated a few objects with Alt+D and now I want to apply some modifiers to them, however I can't, because they are multi-user objects.  I tried U > Objects but I still can't apply the modifier.  How to make multi user objects single user?
Is a noisy laptop fan caused by dirt on the fan? I got a Sony Vaio laptop VPCSA and its fan is noisy intermittently. At times it is very noisy and at other times it is pretty quite. I wonder whether this is caused by dirt on the fan that I can clean or leave the laptop to a computer repair shop so that they can service is? Or do you think that the noisiness from the fan is caused by some other factor than dirt since the noise is intermittent and not all the time?  Update  I see there're some more suggestions how to fic the problem in another question Best Algebraic Topology book/Alternative to Allen Hatcher free book? Allen Hatcher seems impossible and this is set as the course text?  So was wondering is there a better book than this? It's pretty cheap book compared to other books on amazon and is free online.   Any good intro to Algebraic topology books?  I can find a big lists of Algebraic geometry books on here. On a very old thread on Maths overflow someone recommended that a person should read James Munkres Topology first, then you should read Allen Hatcher book.   It just seems like Rudin's book but crammed with ten times more material. Show that $\frac{P(z)}{Q(z)} = \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{P(\alpha_k)}{Q'(\alpha_k)(z-\alpha_k)}$ One click to site meta?

For example, to answer the question, "How tall are you?" valid answers include:   Five feet. Five foot three. Five feet, three inches.   Why the discrepancy between feet and foot, seemingly only in the second case.    This question is inspired by this question:   edit: I do not believe the answer to this is related to the other question. The explanation for the other question is because of how adjective modifiers work. My question is a very different case, unrelated to adjectives. My observation is that I am asking about a particular exception case which applies only when "foot" is followed by a number which is assumed to be inches. That's extremely specific, and I doubt that the etymology has any relation to why we leave adjective modifiers singular. Possessive form of "one of [a list]"? Suppose we have (some categories and some functors such that) $F_1$ is left adjoint to $G_1$, $G_1$ left adjoint to $F_2$, $F_2$ left adjoint to $G_2$. Will $F_1$ then be equal to $F_2$ (and $G_1$ to $G_2$)?  Or can there exist arbitrarily long 'chains' of adjoint functors that do not trivialize? Why does Vader live on Mustafar? In Rogue One, we get our first glimpse of Darth Vader's primary residence - a castle on Mustafar.  Given the freedom to choose any planet in the galaxy as their new home, I don't think many people would pick the place where they had three limbs chopped off, fell into a lava flow, and were burned alive, but this appears to be what Vader did.   Why does Vader live on Mustafar of all places? When rolling percentages, do 1d100 and two d10s (percentiles) share the same probabilities?

We've often wondered,   I'm thinking this isn't a problem; it has gotten lots of support historically. So we're going to go ahead and do it, so the company Amazon account is still getting some use, and we benefit a little.

This is the problem I am currently having trouble with:  If $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are eigenvalues of matrix  $$         \begin{bmatrix}         a &amp; b\\         c &amp; d\\         \end{bmatrix}$$prove that $\lambda_1^2$, $\lambda_1\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_2^2$ are eigenvalues of matrix $A$.     $$A=\begin{bmatrix}     a^2 &amp; ab &amp; b^2\\     2ac &amp; ad+bc &amp;2bd\\     c^2 &amp; cd &amp;d^2\\     \end{bmatrix}$$  What have I considered so far:   I tried to find characteristic polynomial of first matrix and then find the roots which would be $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$. I was hoping I can make a connection with characteristic polynomial of matrix $A$, but it got too complicated and did not seem like the right idea. Since there are two eigenvalues for first matrix, there are two eigenvectors. I thought about somehow using $A\vec v_i=\lambda_i\vec v_i$, where $i=1,2$  Also, I thought about finding a connection between these two matrices. What I see is that the sum of elements of first and second column, of first matrix, are $(a+c)$ and $(b+d)$, respectively.  Sum of first, second and third column of matrix $A$ are $(a+c)^2, (a+c)(b+d)$ and $(b+d)^2$. Now, if I could assign $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ to $(a+c)$ and $(b+d)$, then I would get that sum of first, second and third column of matrix $A$ are $\lambda_1^2$, $\lambda_1\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_2^2$, but what would be next?   I thought it would be good to combine 2. and 3rd idea, but I am not making any progress.  I appreciate any help.

Can any one help me? I just reached the 3k rep limit required for close votes and have started exploring the vote-to-close UI that's opened up to me, and I have a request.  The review queue has a Do Not Close button, but when I click the close link under a question that has close votes (i.e. it shows close (1)), there isn't an option for me to vote against closing the question. I came across a question that had a vote to close it as not a question, but it had just been updated with code and more details and was no longer a candidate for closing. However, I couldn't cast a vote to not close it from the question itself. When I clicked on close, it brought up the usual voting UI, and "Do Not Close" was not an option.  TL;DR, do this:   Open a question in the close votes review queue Note the Do Not Close button Click the question title to go to it Click the close (n) link under the question (assuming it hasn't already been closed) Notice the lack of an equivalent "Do Not Close" option   Could a "Do Not Close" option be added to the close button popup for questions that already have close votes, that way the review interface isn't the only place a "Do Not Close" vote can be cast?  Edit: Okay, so 5 3 "Do Not Close" votes kicks it out of the review queue, it doesn't have "no effect" as suggested in the comments. (See , in which the  was just updated a few minutes ago to say 3 DNC votes.) I still don't see why the same DNC option can't be available from the question.  Basically, I guess I would like some rationale behind this bullet point from :     Only accessible from the review queue (so rather difficult to target a specific question). Yes, this is very much by-design. Could not download all repository indexes For symmetric operators one has: $$A\text{ symmetric}:\quad\mathcal{R}(A\pm\imath)=\mathcal{H}\implies A^*=A$$ How to prove this in an unveiling way? Does time stretch all the way back for infinity or was there a point when time appears to start in the universe?  I remember reading long ago somewhere that according to one theory time began shortly before the creation of the universe.  Does time have a starting point of note? One server with multiple desktops "heads" with VNC I am managing a system of kiosks.  Each kiosk currently is running a web browser with the application for the kiosk running in the browser.  Each kiosk needs to be able to display separate content.  At times, the application running in the web browser freezes.  Thus, I have to go out to the site to refresh the page.  I want to see if there is a way to have one central server that has multiple browser heads.  Then each kiosk would run a program like VNC to display one of the heads.  This way when the program freezes, I just have to login to the central server and refresh the page.  Getting VNC or another remote desktop software installed on the clients is no problem.  What I am looking for is a way to have VNC remote into a specific head of a head of a web browser.  Does such a thing exist?  Or do I have to run a VM for each kiosk to remote into?  Any advice, pointers, or solutions would be helpful. "Install alongside" option missing. How do I install Ubuntu beside Windows using "Something Else"?
