There is a word in Russian &quot;отписка&quot;, which could mean &quot;unsubscription&quot; but also has in some context could mean &quot;written reply in a very formal way with no intent to really help&quot;. Like a very polite &quot;fuck off&quot; reply. So I feel like there should be a similar idiom or a slang word for this in English. Are there any?
A financial planner treated us in a dismissive fashion and I want to say that he "gave us the back of his hand" but that phrase doesn't seem to have the meaning of dismissive. Does it or is there a similar idiom?
Best Fake Proofs? (A M.SE April Fools Day collection) How to match all occurrences of a regex Quoted headings are rendered properly on preview but not when posted With markdown, you can use some dashes for headings. For example, this: Hello ---- this is some other text  renders as this: Hello this is some other text This is fine and works well. When I want to quote that text is when the problem arises, since this Markdown: &gt; Hello &gt; ---- &gt; this is some other text  When written down shows well in the preview but not when posted:  Hello this is some other text   As an example, see an screenshot of the preview:    and a screenshot of the posted content, where the ---- becomes a &lt;hr&gt;:  Note a similar bug I also reported: . A "friends list" on Stack Overflow would be nice I think it would be nice to have a "friends list" on Stack Overflow. This would allow us to be able to follow the questions and answers that are posted by users that we want to watch/monitor.  I suggest it be implemented in the same fashion as DotNetKicks.com; where you can add someone to your "friends list" without them needing to approve you the way that other social networks do it. It should be completely open for us to add anyone to our "friends list" that we like. I used the inbuilt dataset stackloss here. I used following R code for creating the multiple regression model.  &gt; head(stackloss)   Air.Flow Water.Temp Acid.Conc. stack.loss   1        80         27         89         42   2        80         27         88         37   3        75         25         90         37   4        62         24         87         28   5        62         22         87         18   6        62         23         87         18  &gt; fit &lt;- lm(stack.loss ~ .,data=stackloss) &gt; plot(fit)   And when I plot the model, the four following graphs are displayed.

I have a device with a web-based control panel, and accidentally set it to redirect all http pages to https, even though some don't work over https. Although I've since corrected this, Safari seems to have memorised the redirect and is refusing to forget it, instead constantly attempting to redirect me to the invalid https address.  I've already closed Safari, cleared ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ and ~/Library/Cookies/HSTS.plist but it still seems to be remembering the redirect when I re-open it.  Where else could Safari be storing this information? I can access the correct page via Firefox or Chrome, so it may not be a system wide service, or if it is it's not one that the other browsers use.  Unfortunately because the web-panel is provided by a device I don't believe I can adjust headers or setup a redirect back to the correct URL, which seem to be options offered in other similar questions, so I really need to find out where this data is being stored so I can destroy it with fire. I would like to see everything on my computer screen in grayscale (like say the kindle screen). How do I do this? How to check if a string "StartsWith" another string? House address is not listed on Google Maps When I search for my address on Google Maps it cannot be found which means I can't order takeaway etc.  Is there a way of adding my address to Google Maps or even add a street address?  I want the address to be publicly available so others can search it. In Avengers: Endgame,       Thanos was able to stop and catch Mjolnir and Stormbreaker mid-air as both Captain America and Thor used/called them BEFORE he got the Infinity Stones.   Since this character is clearly not worthy and had no super powers at the time, how were they able to wield Thor's Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, when even the Hulk couldn't do it in The Avengers? What are the major differences between ANSI C and K&R C? Ctrl -C, Ctrl -V not working in different keyboard layout When I am in English, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V works fine when I need to copy paste. But when I turn to Greek, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and basically no shortcut almost works in Greek.  So each time I have to alt shift and go back to English in order to user Ctrl+C to copy something. How can I apply this to the Greek keyboard profile?  EDIT  I also realized that when using NetBeans IDE 7.4,  I can copy and paste in Greek but I can't use the tonic system of the language over the words. In Aptana studio I can't use Copy and paste Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V When using gedit everything works fine. Different software use different keyboard layout settings? How to set a shortcut for "Always on Top" for window? In 12.04 (Unity), I would like to assign a shortcut to the "always on top option" for a window. Probably something like Ctrl+Shift+Home to turn on and Ctrl+Shift+End to turn off, or whatever. Is there an option to do this somewhere in the Compiz Settings Manager?  This (old)  claimed that      For compiz, Enable Extra WM Actions. Check the properties, and insert ALT+A to Key field for Toggle Always-On-Top action.   But I couldn't find that. Reentering serial number in Windows 7 Does anyone know how to install a new serial on a working copy of Windows 7 - I get notified that my software is not genuine but cannot reenter the serial For those who duplicated my previous question - ; am NOT asking how to install Skype for God's sake!!   The question was rather - I already have Skype installed, the thing is there is no possible option for me to do group video call or group screen share. The interface itself resembles the times when Skype was newly born. While on Windows, Skype's latest version is around 6.(something), here it's only 4.3. In Windows group video call is now free on Skype, here I can't even do video call! I think this is a major drawback for an otherwise so good OS! Is there anything that can be done about it?  Thanks for any help!  For those who don't have an answer for me, I still thank you for at least understanding my question!!  Have a good day! When should I use # and = in ASP.NET controls? Every subspace of a vector space has a complement I want to see if my proof is true or I thought very trivially?    If $H$ is a subspace of a finite dimensional vector space $V$, show there is a subspace $K$ such that $H\cap K=0$ and $H+K=V$    So far I have tried :    $H\subseteq V$ is a subspace $\Rightarrow\,\exists\;K=(V-H)\subseteq V$ $K$ is a subspace because it's the sum of two subspace $V$ and $(-H)$ Now we should prove that $H\cap K=0$ We assume $H\cap K\neq0\Rightarrow\exists\,\vec u\neq0\,,\,\vec u\in H\cap K$ $\vec u\in H\cap K\Rightarrow \begin{cases}\vec u\in H\\\vec u\in K\,\Rightarrow\vec u\in V-H\Rightarrow\vec u\in V,\,\vec u\notin H\end{cases}$ That's a contradiction so our hypothesis was wrong and $\vec u=0$ Let $|A|=\alpha, |B|=\beta, |C|= \gamma$ be cardinals and $\beta \leq \gamma$. Prove $\alpha ^{\beta}\le \alpha ^{\gamma}$.  So from the given we know that there's an injection $f:B\to C$ and some functions $h:B\to A, g: C\to A$. We want to prove there's an injection $l_1:A\to C$. It appears that $f$ doesn't help here.  Trying to take representatives from $A$ and show they're in $C$ and there's an injection doesn't work so maybe the function should be $l_2: h \to g$ but I don't know how to work with it. I'm trying to prove that ${n \choose r}$ is equal to ${{n-1} \choose {r-1}}+{{n-1} \choose r}$ when $1\leq r\leq n$.  I suppose I could use the counting rules in probability, perhaps combination= ${{n} \choose {r}}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r!)}$.  I want to see an actual proof behind this equation.  Does anyone have any ideas? how to disable system apps without root?
