Is there an expression in English for "being asked to act on your own suggestion"?  Here's an example of the scenario that I'm thinking about:     Wife: Husband, the living room light is broken. We need to buy a new one.   Husband: Sure, honey. When you go to the market today, could you buy a new light?
I am trying to think of a non-colloquial word or phrase that means "practice what you preach." I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
Can we have a way to edit bounty custom message? Why are there hexagonal holes in my donut? I'm currently making a donut using blender gurus tutorial. I have no idea why, but there are holes in my icing. Does anyone know what could be causing it? Thanks for any help. What does "Ubuntu" mean, and why did they choose that particular name? Nested List Indices Are there any best practices for choosing the title of web pages? There are a lot of resources online oriented toward SEO, but not toward users.  My impression is that most sites have something similar to Product - Page. But there are cases when switching this around is more useful. For example, if mail clients displayed the title like this:  Inbox (3) - Gmail  Instead of:  Gmail - Inbox (3)  You would be able to see the message count, even if the title was cut off. (I'm pretty sure Gmail used to do this).  I assume the title is mostly ignored by users except when:   using boorkmarks finding the right tab in the browser   What are the considerations for users when choosing a web page title? Are there different considerations for the home page, pages behind a login, etc? How to replace a string with a string containing slash with sed? Unable to SSH to my virtual machine via Windows Power Shell ISE Book series about preparation for a war at the Singularity I am looking for a book series (almost certainly a trilogy) that starts with some humans in a space station being abducted by a small funny-looking alien and taken to a prison planet. They find out that the way space travel works is by creating copies of the passengers, and the originals remained on the space station. This is actually good for the aliens since they believe every sentient being will resurrect at the Singularity and will be forced to fight a battle, so the more the merrier.  The one other detail I remember is that the world economy has a rampant inflation, so people take any cash they have at the end of the day and buy 20th-century memorabilia that doesn't devalue as much. Typical software & tools short-list for *manual* QA specialist (tester) working environment For QA workstations preparation (Windows-based PCs) our IT department uses typical batch deployment tools. I'm not at all interested in the details of such process, but IT guys ask me:  What typical set of software you need for everyday manual testing tasks? We could include these in our deployment so that you guys could save more time for testing, not for environment prep &amp; tuning.  Sure thing we do test various range of projects, from web applications to standalone solutions, and each application requires its own set of tools for manual testing, e.g.:  Browsers Virtualization utilities DB clients Screens capturing tools FTP clients XML editors etc.  However, and that's for sure - there's a list of tools every QA MUST have installed on its PC, regardless of project types under testing. My area of experience is mostly standalone / complex web apps, that's why my vision on the task is a bit subjective. So, your suggestions of what are tools / software an average QA specialist can't live without will be highly appreciated. 2 assumptions:  Manual testing is a point of interest. Let's limit the list to not more than 15 (better 10) items.  Thanks in advance! I was just thinking that maybe if we have more Stack&nbsp;Exchange websites then each person would be a member of more different sites on average. Since the time a person can spend online on average is limited it means he will be spending less time on each website. But would this affect the quality of these websites? I'm not talking only about the quality answers given but also the number of answers given, the promptness. Won't these things go down?  I think that the rate of questions won't go down much because you need to know what you need to know. However, the average time a person spends browsing through these websites (and chances upon a question he can answer) would decrease. So are we creating too many different Stack&nbsp;Exchange sites? You should choose your Display Name when signing up When a user signs up , their username is something along the lines of "user########"  Granted, in the welcome email it does say something along the lines of "Head over to your user account page to chose a display name!", however only a few people actually read that email.  I'm not saying we should restrict people from changing their display name again in the future - Everyone would still be able to do so. It's just that when you sign up you choose an initial display name that will be what your first display name is instead of "user########". Can I ask a postdoc who has closely supervised my research to write me a letter of recommendation? How can I make a rounded indentation on a cylinder?

Characterizing all ring homomorphisms $C[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$. I am flying from Orange County, California to San Francisco, California and then on to Seoul, South Korea. If I check a bag will I have to pick it up in San Francisco and re-check it and go through security or customs for the international flight?  Everything I am reading leads me to believe that it's only necessary to re-check baggage and go through security and/or customs when you are first arriving into a country. However, since my first leg is staying within the United States I assume the airline will transfer my bag to the next flight and I can just go straight to the gate for my international flight?  Both legs of the flight are through the same airline (United Airlines) and there are only the two legs: OC -> SF, then SF -> Seoul. I want to shrink my second (LVM) partition, in order to create a new partition in the newly freed space. I am using the Live CD to do so, because I know I can't resize/move this partition while it is in use. When I opened GParted in the Live CD, I realized that I could not resize the partition, because when I right-click it, the option "resize/move" is disabled.  I tried to unmount it, to "lazy" unmount it (umount -l /dev/sda2) but it didn't work.  A screenshot from GParted: Chrome is unable to connect to the Internet I'm getting the error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET in Google Chrome. The thing is, I have a working internet connection. I am posting this using that connection, using Internet Explorer. It's only Chrome doing this.  What happened was my laptop was refusing to go to sleep mode, so it ended up running out of battery power. I charged it, and when I subsequently booted the computer, Chrome stopped working. I don't see the connection...  I added Firewall rules (inbound/outbound) to allow Chrome to connect...so unless I'm missing something.  UPDATE: Chrome portable is working for me...just not the regular chrome.  UPDATE 2 Now I realize it had to do with Covenant Eyes which I have installed. See the accepted answer If $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ are real numbers larger than $1$, prove that $$\dfrac{1}{1+x_1}+\dfrac{1}{1+x_2}+\cdots+\dfrac{1}{1+x_n} \geq \dfrac{n}{\sqrt[n]{x_1x_2\cdots x_n}+1}$$   Attempt  AM-GM doesn't work here since we will get an upper bound. I don't see Cauchy-Schwarz working either. Thus, I think a substitution might work, but I am unsure of which one to use. Is there a way to unlock PDF documents? I realize most PDF documents are locked for a reason, but I spend several hours a week editing datasheets provided directly from my vendors to be sent to customers. Obviously it's very annoying and somewhat of a show-stopper when I download a datasheet in PDF format, then I am not able to draw boxes, add comments, or draw arrows to the supplied product.  One of our vendors told us the way around that was to print a physical copy, then scan it in as a PDF - not the most technological or aesthetically pleasing solution I have found.  I at least would like to be able to print the PDF to another PDF so that the new copy is unlocked for editing. Is there any way around this?
