This pipe has a very slow leak. What is the pipe for and what is the best way to stop the leak?
I noticed there is a square knob sticking out of my basement wall. Does anyone know what this is?
network manager says "device not managed" I used to be able to share my network connection by editing the Auto Eth0 to share with other computers in the Ipv4 section and now I upgraded my laptop to 11.10 .  Now are there no wired connections in the network manager. When I click my connections applet at the top of the tray it also says wired device not managed!  when I type ifconfig -a  daniella@daniella-1001HA:~$ ifconfig -a eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 90:e6:ba:83:d6:fc             UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)           Interrupt:45   eth0:avahi Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 90:e6:ba:83:d6:fc             inet addr:169.254.13.40  Bcast:169.254.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           Interrupt:45   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:d3:90:43:41             inet addr:192.168.0.6  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0           inet6 addr: fe80::225:d3ff:fe90:4341/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:12881 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:12867 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000            RX bytes:8851081 (8.8 MB)  TX bytes:2343199 (2.3 MB) Enable automatic deletion of old, unanswered, zero-score questions after a year? Related to Meta Super User efforts:  and Meta Server Fault efforts:  We already auto-remove negatively voted unanswered old questions automatically after 30 days, network wide, with no human intervention required. I was thinking we might extend that to remove old, unanswered zero score questions... based on the following criteria:  fewer than (question age in days * 1.5) views 0 score or lower, or 1 score or lower if the original author is deleted no answers 1 comment or fewer asked more than 1 year ago (thus based on creation date, not last activity date, so , or a user editing it, does not give a doomed question 365 more days of zombie &quot;life&quot;)  See the results of this query on:  (10509) |  (787) |  (650) This query has been refined based on the comments, and this is the final version that will roll out tonight. Every site in the network (except metas) will automatically delete old questions that meet this criteria from this point forward. Singular vs. Plural with Multiple Gerunds as Subject (IE: [Gerund] and [Gerund] are/is [something].) I'm trying to find out whether I should use a singular or plural verb when there are multiple gerunds as the subject of the sentence. For example:  Running the correct course and keeping a steady pace are/is necessary in order to win.  With either one of these by itself, &quot;is&quot; would be correct:  Running the correct course is necessary in order to win. Keeping a steady pace is necessary in  order to win.  With both gerunds combined, I can't seem to figure out whether the verb should stay singular since each phrase is singular, or if it should become plural since there are two connected by &quot;and&quot;. If we just treat the gerunds as regular nouns, then obviously it would become &quot;are&quot;, but I'm not sure if gerunds have the exact same rules as regular nouns. I know that if the sentence was:  Running the correct course and keeping a steady pace are both necessary.  That &quot;are&quot; would be correct, but without the &quot;both&quot; it sounds incorrect to me. Does anyone know the official rule here? How do I check whether a module is installed in Python, and install it if needed? In terminal, after I start Python, how will I know what are the modules present in python? Suppose I need to learn the modules NumPy and SciPy.   How will I install it if it is not installed?  How will I know if it is already installed? Need to give permissions to /tmp/cache and /tmp/templates_c but can't find them How do I give myself an item that can only be placed on a block with a certain damage value? Are  and the  really the same thing?  Not too long ago, Susskind and Bousso uploaded the article "" with the thesis that the many-worlds interpretation and the multiverse of eternal inflation are one and the same thing. The parallel worlds of one are exactly the same thing as the parallel worlds of the other.   First, they claim decoherence can't happen over a complete description of the future light-cone of the measurement. Then, they apply that principle to eternal inflation. Without decoherence, superpositions of nucleating bubbles and metastable vacua can't decohere. According to the anthropic principle, most bubbles have no conscious observers, but an exponentially small minority do. Apply black hole complementarity to causal horizons.  Then, somehow, in a way I can't follow, they combine causal diamond worlds into a global multiverse.  Then they claim decoherence is reversible.  My head is spinning. What are your opinions on this paper? How do I achieve this kind of light star effect? I'm kinda new to Blender. Currently playing around with version 2.8 to practice some rendering. Is there a way to achieve this 'light-star' effect for the blooming objects with the emission? If there is an alternative way then it's fine too. See these images below for references. Thanks in advance: Historical flight data outside of the USA? Block specific URL on web browsers I want to block certain URLs on browsers. I don't want to block whole site. For example, I want to block , but not whole  domain. Is there any way I can do it? I came across this strange code snippet which compiles fine:  class Car {     public:     int speed; };  int main() {     int Car::*pSpeed = &amp;Car::speed;     return 0; }   Why does C++ have this pointer to a non-static data member of a class? What is the use of this strange pointer in real code? Is there a single word or very short phrase to describe the act of contemptuously referring to someone by using a diminutive "nickname", with which that person is not normally associated?  For example, referring to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow as Hank Longfellow? Or William Penn as Billy Penn? How can momentum but not energy be conserved in an inelastic collision? Combine 4 cells in a table Here is a simple table.  I want to merge 4 cells. I want to combine the three "this" cells area in this table. I thought I have to use multirow and multicolum at same time.

Proper Installation of Kali linux tools in Ubuntu I think everyone has known - we need to install katoolin to use Kali Linux Tools on Ubuntu. Before did anything I had looked through the internet and also found out these solutions: ,   So here are my steps:  apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git &amp;&amp; cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin chmod +x  /usr/bin/katoolin sudo katoolin   Then, to add Kali Linux repositories and update them, I selected option 1 from the katoolin Menu  Then, to view the available categories and install all available tools, I selected option 2 from the main menu of katoolin and then pressed 0.   But after that I got this:    What do you want to do ?>    1) Add Kali repositories & Update  2) View Categories 3) Install classicmenu indicator 4) Install Kali menu 5) Help   kat > 2  ************************** All Categories **************************  1) Information Gathering                      8) Exploitation Tools 2) Vulnerability Analysis                     9) Forensics Tools 3) Wireless Attacks                           10) Stress Testing 4) Web Applications                           11) Password Attacks 5) Sniffing & Spoofing                        12) Reverse Engineering 6) Maintaining Access                         13) Hardware Hacking 7) Reporting Tools                            14) Extra  0) All   Select a category or press (0) to install all Kali linux tools .  Furthermore, I got an error in Software Updater - it didn't let me do anything. Ubuntu just hung up. I solved this problem by deleting kali linux repositories in katoolin and then in Software Updater.  Does anyone know how to install Kali Linux tools in Ubuntu 16.04 in a proper way? What's the deepest reason why QCD bound states have integer charge? What's the deepest reason why QCD bound states have integer electric charge, i.e. equal to an integer times the electron charge?  Given that the quarks have the fractional electric charges they do, this is a consequence of color confinement. The charges of the quarks are constrained in the context of the standard model by anomaly cancellation, and can be explained by grand unification. The GUT explanation for the charges doesn't care about the bound state spectrum of the QCD sector, so it just seems to be a coincidence that hadrons (which are composite) have integer charge, and that leptons (which are elementary) also have integer charge.   Now maybe there's some anthropic argument for why such a coincidence is useful (in the case of proton and electron, it gives us atoms as we know them). Or maybe you can argue that GUTs naturally produce fractionally charged particles and strongly coupled sectors, and it's just not much of a coincidence.   But I remain curious as to whether Seiberg duality, anyons, some UV/IR relationship... could really produce something like the lepton-hadron charge coincidence, for deeper reasons. I suppose one is looking for a theory in which properties of bound states in one sector have a direct and nontrivial relationship to properties of elementary states in another sector. Is there anything like this out there?   (This question was prompted by muster-mark's many recent questions about fractional charge, and by a  that the hadron-lepton charge coincidence is a "semi-coincidence", which assured me that I wasn't overlooking some obvious explanation.) Installation problem QGIS I do not manage to install QGIS on my windows 10 machine using the osgeo4w installer.  During the installation I get this message:   At the end of the installation I get this message:   And when I subsequently try to run QGIS, I receive this message:    Similar issue can be found in various fora, but none of them provides a conluding answer or did help me to solve the problem.  Any propositions? Proof that in a field $x=0$ is equivalent to $x=-x$ Let $F$ be a field and $x\in F$. If $x=-x$ and $1\neq -1$, then $$0=\frac{x+x}{1+1}=\frac{1+1}{1+1}x=x.$$ This means that the statement in the title is true if and only if $1\neq -1$. But how do we know that $1\neq -1$ for an arbitary field? How to typeset asymmetrical confidence level limits / uncertainties?
