I think it is safe to assume that magical otherkin would not have a problem as they would be able to express themselves by becoming Animagi, but what would we call a magical person of unconventional gender?  I doubt they would be happy being called a witch or a wizard, as both terms presume a strict gender binary, so what term would they use?  Please note that this question is asked with tongue firmly in cheek, but I do wonder if any thought has been put into this type of question by either the fans or JK herself.
When writing questions and answers here about the Harry Potter series, I often need a word for "someone who's not a Muggle". People often refer to "the wizarding world" as opposed to the Muggle word, so "wizard" would be one choice - but it seems slightly sexist to exclude witches in that way. On the other hand, "witch or wizard" is a bit cumbersome, much longer than the simple word "Muggle".  Is there a sensible word to use which is neither sexist nor cumbersome, that makes a good equivalent to "Muggle"? What would JK Rowling say to fill in a sentence such as this:     Muggles use technology, while [...] use magic.
Why is looping over find's output bad practice? The StackExchange™ MultiCollider SuperDropdown™ says I've got replies, but I've already viewed those Linux: coloring bash prompt will break carriage return PHP MySQLi doesn't recognize login info Obi-Wan left Anakin for dead, and one movie later (in A New Hope) he was saying Anakin had been killed by Darth Vader.  What exactly did Obi-Wan know about Anakin and Darth Vader before A New Hope started? So I was searching for one of my own websites on Google: http://www.botlibre.com  and to my surprise found some clones of my website, like:  http://83waystowasteyourtime.adidas.com  and:  http:// mediaiq.astral.comm  My question are:   Why are they creating clones of my website?  Some kind of SEO scheme or what? What gain could they be getting? How do they have a URL at adidas.com and astral.comm?  I assume it's not Adidas steeling my content. How do I shutdown these sites and stop people from stealing my content? (on Tomcat) Why is paper more frangible when it is wet? My four-year-old daughter asked me why paper tends to fall apart when wet, and I wasn't sure.  I speculated that the water lubricates the paper fibers so that they can untangle and separate more easily, but I really wasn't sure. What is the simplest way (least error-prone, least lines of code, however you want to interpret it) to open a file in C and read its contents into a string (char*, char[], whatever)? List all directories that do NOT have a file with a given file name inside How would I go into listing all directories that do not have a file with a given file name inside? e.g. given this tree  /   /a      README      file001      file002   /b      README      file001   /c      file003   I want to list the directories that do not have a file named README, in this case it would be directory /c. How would I do that? I can't think of any syntax using e.g. find. How to count the number of occurrences of each item in an array? Drupal is fast at develop, but the performance is so poor.  It is hard to reach 50 request per second.  And there are so many SQL queries in a simple web page.  If you test the request time of a form submit in Drupal.org it will always take seconds to finish.  How do you improve the speed of your web site? When clicking continue on the first Boot Camp screen,  I am presented with a dialog that displays:     The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned.   You must have at least 39 GB of free space available.     This is despite "About this Mac" reporting 271GB of free space:    And "Disk Utility" reporting 268GB of free space:    Searching online I found  which suggested it was the result of Time Machine which i recently enabled and suggests to run sudo tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 999999999999 which I did, it ran sucessfully, and I restarted, yet to no avail.  What is the solution to this instance of Apple's poor engineering?  Running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (17E202) What is actually the characteristic length in fluid dynamics description? In many fluid-dynamics models and quantities (, ... generally various  descriptions) there is a parameter (usually $L$ or $\ell$) descripted as characteristic linear dimension or characteristic length. What is that in intuitive and physical meaning? I understand the typical examples ( etc.) but I can't see so far any systematic generalisation.  What is the definition? (Or, maybe: What is its role during the derivation?) Is it a good practice to ask before exiting an application (with nothing to save)? Every now and then, I come across applications that, when clicking on the main window's "X", ask me whether I'm sure that I want to quit the application.    I'm not talking about asking me to save unsaved documents, but about applications that aren't document related at all.  This always bothers me, since I feel totally interrupted in my workflow. I was already thinking two steps ahead of what I want to do next, and this message box abruptly pulls 100% of my attention.  My question:  Are there any valid use cases where a non-document-centric application should ask me whether I'm sure that I want to exit the application? Bluetooth disappeared in Windows 10 I have a Lenovo G580 laptop. In the past, using Windows 8, I could use Bluetooth to connect to other devices.  Installing Windows&nbsp;10, Bluetooth simply disappeared. I can't find anything related to Bluetooth in the Device Manager, also in Settings → Devices.  There is no Windows&nbsp;10 Bluetooth driver for my laptop.  What can I do? How do we define capillary number in 2D (two dimensions) In 3D the capillary number $Ca$ is defined as: $$Ca=\frac{\nu \rho U}{\gamma}$$ where $\nu$ is the kinematic viscosity ($m^2/s$), $U$ is the velocity ($m/s$)and $\gamma$ is the interfacial tension ($N/m$) and $\rho$ is the density in $kg/m^3$ . However in 2D I will have $\rho$ in units of $kg/m^2$ (2D simulation), so how to find capillary number? Prove that $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{x^n}{n!} = 0$, $x \in \Bbb R$. Are there any disadvantages to using your companions for transporting Power Armor After I read that companions don't drain the fusion core of a Power Armor when wearing it, I decided to try giving my armor to Nick so I'll always have it close by if I need it.  But I was wondering if there are any other drawbacks to that. For example, does the Armor get damaged or destroyed when the companion is under fire? Definition of the Infinite Cartesian Product Intuition behind the Definition of Conditional Probability (for 2 Events) What is some intuitive insight regarding the conditional probability definition: $P(A\mid B) = \large \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$ ? I am looking for an intuitive motivation. My textbook merely gives a definition, but no true development of that definition. Hopefully that's not too much to ask.
