[![enter image description here][1]][1] help me model this! [1]:
I'm trying to wrap my head around this for a while now. It's a simple question for what I think will be a not so simple answer. How would you go about modeling one leg of this stool? I would like to do it without using sculpt mode because I can't get things quite clean enough.
Escaping quotes in zsh alias Following on from  about stripping newlines out of text, I want to turn this into a zsh alias as follows:  alias striplines=' awk " /^$/ {print \"\n\"; } /./ {printf( \" %s \",$0);}"'   I've tried escaping the quotes inside the awk script, but I'm getting this error:  awk: (FILENAME=bspsrobustness FNR=1) fatal: division by zero attempted   (The file is called bspsrobustness)  Is there a way to do what I want? I suppose I could turn this into an awk script rather than a zsh alias, is that my best option? If I do the following:  import subprocess from cStringIO import StringIO subprocess.Popen(['grep','f'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=StringIO('one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\nfive\nsix\n')).communicate()[0]   I get:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in ?   File "/build/toolchain/mac32/python-2.4.3/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 533, in __init__     (p2cread, p2cwrite,   File "/build/toolchain/mac32/python-2.4.3/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 830, in _get_handles     p2cread = stdin.fileno() AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringI' object has no attribute 'fileno'   Apparently a cStringIO.StringIO object doesn't quack close enough to a file duck to suit subprocess.Popen.  How do I work around this? How to implement keyboard shortcuts on websites Why does the Community user sometimes approve or reject edits? How does a machine know if my edit is valid? What does it mean if my edit was rejected by Community?     See also: Restricting T to string and int? Cannot empty trash I am trying to empty my trash, and it keeps giving me an error message that says,      .Trash can't be opened right now because it's being used by another task...     I have tried restarting my computer, running Finder > Secure Empty Trash everything yields the same result and error message from above. What is the volatile keyword useful for? JSF 2.1 ViewScopedBean @PreDestroy method is not called I spotted a  (10k-only by now) and when I went to flag it, the flag dialog told me that I'd already flagged it as VLQ:    The thing is, I'd never seen this post before. And a look at the flag history in my user profile confirms that I haven't flagged a post since yesterday:    Certainly, well before the 2015-02-04 05:36:21Z time of Mr. Miracle's post.  I was able to reproduce this on SO from the VLQ review queue: when you're presented with an answer, click on link at the right side of the page, then click flag. You get the "you have already raised this type of flag" message on either the "it is not an answer" or "it is very low quality" options, I gather depending on the original flag that pushed the post into the VLQ queue. Can anyone explain to me why I would want to use IList over List in C#?  Related question: I am asked to fill the genotypes in the spaces provided but looks like I am aving a little bit of trouble. can anyone help? thanks in advance! Closed ball not a manifold. My book on differential geometry claims that a closed ball in $\Bbb R^n$ can never be a differentiable manifold because of the boundary points. The book doesn't really give an explanation for why this is true. Could someone provide more details please? thanks I want to change my field from molecular biophysics to theoretical ecology. While they are basically required some same basic background (physics, math, programming), the rest is quite irrelevant. In my current draft of this part, about a half is about this the problem and the result of the work, another half is for my contribution and what I've learnt. Having said that, should I focus less on describing the work and leave space for the thing that will be useful for the next research?  Below is copy from .     What have you already done? What problems have you solved, or at least worked on? What independent projects have you been part of? What were your key contributions? What did you learn? What did you teach the world? How do your results compare to what was already known? What original ideas are you most proud of? Be specific, technical, credible, and confident (but not arrogant). Refer the reader to your web page for more details. Have a web page with more details: preprints, project reports, source code, videos, etc. How to find the value of $\lim_{n\to\infty}S(n)$, where $S(n)$ is given by $$S(n)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} \dfrac{k}{n^2+k^2}$$   is unable to calculate it.  This is a question from a questions booklet, and the options for the answer are--  $\begin{align} &amp;A) \dfrac{\pi}{2} \\ &amp;B) \log 2 \\ &amp;C) \dfrac{\pi}{4} \\ &amp;D) \dfrac{1}{2} \log 2 \end{align}$ There is an "Informed" badge for reading the meta about page but it was awarded zero times and to make sure I tried reading the about page but did not receive it. If the badge is to be awarded here, then this should be 'fixed'. If not, it should be removed from the list of badges. How do you delete untracked local files from your current working tree? Resize multiple layers around their respective anchor points I have 50 or so layers (imported images as smart objects) that I would like to scale down, while they stay in place. Is there a way of doing this? I know After Effects has, is there a similar Scale property in photoshop? probability that exactly two accidents happen in any day of a week if 7 accidents happen in a week If 7 accidents happen in a week, what is the probability that exactly 2 accidents happen in any day of the week.  I tried to work it this way.  2 accidents out of 7 can be taken in ${7}\choose{2}$$= 21$.  Now this can happen in any of the 7 days, so we have $7 \times 21$.  Now, the remaining 5 can happen in $6^5$ ways.  So the probability is  $\frac{7\times 21 \times 6^5}{7^7} = \frac{3 \times 6^5}{7^5}$   But this gives me a value greater than 1.   I know I am doing something wrong.  Can anyone help me ? Convergence of $\int_0^\infty $sin$ (x^p) dx$ Prove $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ is not isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_4$ In trying to understand why there are two sets of groups of order 4.  I know that there exists the Vierergruppe of $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ and the group $\mathbb{Z}_4$ but I do not understand why they are not isomorphic
