Today, I got a new disc for my front Clarks Hyrdaulic brake. Before the change, whenever I pressed my front brake, I could almost do a front flip but that's only if I pressed it fully. Now, when I press it fully, the lever goes all the way down but it feels like the tyre should stop but instead, it goes for slightly longer. It's almost as if there's grease on my brake pads but I know that's not the case.  So my question is, why did replacing the front disc cause my front brake to lose effectiveness? Do I need to wait it out cause it's a new disc or?
so I am creating a few posts about bearings and wheels, (story so far):      I have now got the wheels, bearings and freehub working.  Started riding to work this morning and I almost couldn't stop at a junction.  Thankfully wasn't going too fast.  I physically can not get the wheel to lock.  I have to use both brakes at full force to get the bike to roll to a stop.  If I only use one brake I would not stop at any junction in time.  Could the cause be any of the following:   Over greased bearings? Over greased axle? not tightened cone hubs enough? not tighted axle enough?   I do not have any grease on the disk brakes them selves.  Rather nervous getting on the bike now.  Don't seem to be doing too well with this bike home fixing thing.  over greased bearings?  EDIT  Forgot to mention that it is hydraulic disk brakes.  EDIT 2  So in the end I took it to the LBS as I didn't have much confidence in my self at this point.  They had to replace the front pads but where able to clean the rear and cleaned the rotors.  (I had tried to clean the rotors but obviously not vigorously enough).  He said it was a bit of a pain to do.  All is working again.  They double checked my wheels and said I had put them back together correctly which is reassuring.  Thanks for all the help
What are the requirements for national parks? I'm trying to place a national park here:    But the button to create one with the Naturalist is greyed out:    I know the civopedia lists the requirements for building a national park, but they are either wrong or I'm having a hard time understanding them:   The tiles must be natural wonders, Mountains or a tile with an Appeal of Charming or better. As you can see the top are both Breathtaking and the bottom ones are part of the Great Barrier Reef wonder All four tiles must be owned by the same city. All tiles are within the boarders of Mbwila The tiles for a diamond shape. All tiles are connected close to each other in a diamond shape No tile can have an improvement or district on it. All tiles are in their initial condition.   So I'm probably missing something. Can someone tell me what's the problem? Why don't we consider centrifugal force on a mass placed on earth? Order of a product of elements in a generic group I'm dealing with the following question: having a group $G$ (of which nothing else is specified, doesn't have to be abelian), prove that $|ab|=|ba|$ for any $a$, $b$. Since $G$ is not abelian I'm not sure what to use here. I was thinking that except the case where $b=a^{-1}$, the order of those would be $lcm(m,n)$ where $m$ and $n$ are the orders of a and b. But looking it up it seems not to be so simple, even if all the info I could find was for abelian groups, so I would like some help with this specific case. A geometry question: Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral. Prove that AD is parallel to BC. Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the length of the segment connecting midpoints of the two opposite sides $AB$ and $CD$ equals $\frac{AD+BC}{2}$ . Prove that AD is parallel to BC. I assume that AD is not parallel to BC but I can't find any contradiction.

Ubuntu 16.04 Jan 3 2018 update causing screen/access issues Yesterday (Jan. 3, 2018), I installed an OS update (Ubuntu 16.04), using the Software Center. My system isn't working correctly now. When my mouse rolls over the Launch bar, it disappears, then any open window disappears, leaving me with only the desktop screensaver showing. I can't even shut the computer off using the settings button on the top.  I went into the Terminal and attempted to fix it using the following commands:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get autoremove   But I'm still having the same problem.  I have reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 and when I accepted the update on install had the same problem.  I have reinstalled it a second time but have not done an OS update and everything seems to be working fine.    Found another user with the same problem:    Is it possible that the Meltdown security update is at fault?  I've read the update has been issued for 64-bit x86 architecture ();  I'm running a 32 bit i386 architecture.  Could that be an issue and is there a way to correct it? Optimal tiling of polygon using ArcGIS Desktop? I am trying to tile a polygon with a minimal number of fixed sized squares.  Currently I am creating a fishnet over my polygon then spatially joining the squares that intersect the polygon. This is not optimal.  Also note the squares can be shifted vertically/horizontally but not rotated.  My end goal: The polygon represents a clipped image and I want a tiling of the clipped image. Where each tile is 300px by 300px. Some overlap is fine if that makes the problem easier.  Current    Manually optimized    Are there any tools or algorithms that would help with this? I am proficient with Python and ArcMap.  The polygon was created from line features so I also have access to those segments. Maybe that would will help for generating the squares.  The entire polygon must be covered. If I have a legendary creature out, and I make a copy of it (such as by enchanting it with  or making a ), do I get enters-the-battlefield effects from the creature before I have to sacrifice it to the legend rule? I would like to create a reminder on Google Calendar every month on the 15th, but if the 15th in that month is a Friday/Saturday, I want it automatically to set it to the closest Sunday/Thursday. Is this possible? Does the limit $\lim _{x\to 0} \frac 1x \int_0^x \left|\cos \frac 1t \right| dt$ exists? Does the limit $\lim _{x\to 0} \frac 1x \int_0^x \left|\cos \frac 1t \right| dt$ exists ? If it does then what is the value ?   I don't think even L'Hospital's rule can be applied . Please help . Thanks in advance I have heard several pseudoscientific explanations about the  and find them hard to believe.  As a mathematician mainly focusing on functional analysis, I have a considerable interest in this matter. Although I still have no idea about it, I aim to truly understand it one day. For now, the question is:  Can the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle be explained so that a non-scientist can at least get a correct idea of what it says and what not?  One of the most heard explanations is the one that says naïvely that while trying to determine the position of a particle you send energy (light) so you modify its speed, therefore making it impossible to determine the speed. If I understand well this should only be a some sort of metaphor to explain it, right? How do you use a gray card? There are already   on how to make a gray card, but unfortunately my ignorance goes deeper than that.  How do you use a gray card? How do I get transparency to work with the Principled BSDF shader? How do I get the Cycles Principled BSDF shader to support a base color image such as a 32bit png with alpha or a tga with an alpha channel, and get the transparency to work. I don't see anywhere on the Principled BSDF shader that handles transparency.  Without success, I have tried:   Properties Editor>Render tab>Film rollout>Transparent Properties Editor>Material tab>Settings rollout>Viewport Alpha (changing to other than Opaque). Adding a Transparent BSDF and Diffuse BSDF after the base color image node and using a Mix Shader to combine them. I am looking for help to point me out at a very old novel (likely from the '60s) about two empires at interstellar war. When it comes to starships, one is technologically very advanced, and the other has very low and inefficient technology.  The highly advanced empire has apparently strong chances to win the war, in particular considering a new technology they were developing. I remember the technology to work like this: consider the space as a flat surface, and on this surface, a disk around the spaceship. When the technology was turned on, this disk was stretched out, as made of rubber, so that it produced a cone, with the tip being the spaceship. The spaceship was therefore teleported 10 parsec away (if I remember correctly), but retained all the connections to the original position. If the spaceship moved, the cone moved as well. This allowed to move in position among enemy ships completely unnoticed, by stretching while afar, then moving in the proper position 10 parsecs away, then destretching.  Despite this technology, the empire lost the war because of delays. It's a perfect example of how having a disruptive technology does not guarantee to win against the competitors.  I am trying to find out the author and name of this novel, hopefully with the date of publication and in which journal/magazine. How do I print my Java object without getting "SomeType@2f92e0f4"? How to specify password in ssh command From the terminal I type: ssh user@ip and then it prompts for a password.  Is there a way to specify the password in the ssh command itself? I am replacing a door with a pre-hung door including the jamb. The old door was 29 11/16" wide. The new pre-hung door is 28".  Is this too big of a gap?  Should I make it plumb on one side and make up the difference on the other side? Other threads suggest making up space on the handle side, but this is more space than than what other people were asking about. The trim is 2 1/2" so the gap would be covered. If a sports team is down by 1-2 in a best of 7 series, what is their chance of winning (if both teams have a 1/2 chance of winning every game)? I know that the team has to win 3 of the 4 remaining games. So I thought that from the 4 remaining games, there are a total of $2^4 = 16$ total different outcomes.   Could someone point me towards the right direction to determine the probability of the team winning 3 of the 4 remaining games? Would it be 4C3/16 since the three wins can be chosen amongst the 4 games left?
