I am around 12 and I want to play D&amp;D but I have no group. I can't find anyone in school and i need other ways. So if you can help I would appreciate it.
I'd really like to learn how to play pen-and-paper RPGs.  I know that it takes a few players to actually sit down and play, but I'm not at all sure where to find more gamers.  How do I find existing groups to join? Or, are there any resources online that may help me find existing RPG groups or players?
I want to learn Linux Kernel and I've downloaded the latest kernel version. Now I want to configure Linux with make menuconfig and I'm receiving an error:     Arch/x86/Makefile:184  Compiler lacks asm-goto support...   Can somebody help me? Why isn’t the definite article used in "The commission commanded that work [...] should cease"? Related post   In Peskin and Schroeder's QFT p28, the authors tried to show causality is preserved in scalar field theory.  Consider commutator $$ [ \phi(x), \phi(y) ] = D(x-y) - D(y-x) \tag{2.53} $$ where $D(x-y)$ is the two-point correlation function,  $$D(x-y):= \langle 0 | \phi(x) \phi(y) | 0 \rangle  = \int \frac{d^3 p}{ (2\pi)^3} \frac{1}{ 2E_{\mathbf{p}}} e^{-ip(x-y)}\tag{2.50}$$  P&amp;S argued that each term in the right-hand-side of (2.53) is Lorentz invariant, since $$\int \frac{d^3p }{ (2\pi)^3} \frac{1}{2E_{\mathbf{p}}} = \int \frac{ d^4 p }{ (2\pi)^4} (2\pi) \delta(p^2-m^2)|_{p^0&gt;0} \tag{2.40}$$ is Lorentz invariant.  Since there exists a continuous Lorentz transformation in the spacelike interval $(x-y)^2&lt;0 $ such that $(x-y) \rightarrow - (x-y) $ and $D(y-x)=D(x-y)$, (2.53) equals zero in the spacelike interval. In timelike interval, since such continuous Lorentz transformation does not exist, (2.53) is non-zero in general.  My question is, consider a non-continuous Lorentz transmation in the timelike interval, $PT$, namely time reversal times parity transformation. I can also let  $(x-y) \rightarrow - (x-y) $. Why (2.53) in the timelike interval is non-zero?  I guess $PT$ will let (2.40) go to $p^0&lt;0$ branch. But I am not sure if it breaks the Lorentz invariant of (2.40) and (2.50). How to automaticaly enter sudo's grace period upon login I need a shapefile for India which is up-to-date to display the regional borders. By up-to-date (in 2014), I mean that it includes Telangana as a state. Many shapefiles that I downloaded do not have Telangana as a state as it was partitioned a month ago, it is displayed as part of Andhrapradesh.  So I need the latest shapefile. Difference between declaring variables before or in loop? I have always wondered if, in general, declaring a throw-away variable before a loop, as opposed to repeatedly inside the loop, makes any (performance) difference?  A (quite pointless) example in Java:  a) declaration before loop:  double intermediateResult; for(int i=0; i &lt; 1000; i++){     intermediateResult = i;     System.out.println(intermediateResult); }   b) declaration (repeatedly) inside loop:  for(int i=0; i &lt; 1000; i++){     double intermediateResult = i;     System.out.println(intermediateResult); }   Which one is better, a or b?   I suspect that repeated variable declaration (example b) creates more overhead in theory, but that compilers are smart enough so that it doesn't matter. Example b has the advantage of being more compact and limiting the scope of the variable to where it is used. Still, I tend to code according example a.  Edit: I am especially interested in the Java case. How do I redirect in a class sub-classing the EventSubscriber class? Assume two black holes in the most common size range, spiraling into each other until they merge. The event releases significant amounts of energy via gravitational waves, which warp the space-time.  If the distortion is powerful enough, it would get noticed in daily life, or perhaps even detected by the proprioceptors in the human body.  How close, as an order of magnitude estimate, would you have to be to the merger to perceive it like that, without any instrument? Screen goes white when posting a comment Since iOS 11.2 all the way through 12.2 beta 4, if you post or discard a comment on any post on any SE community, the screen will turn white. This has been ongoing continuously for a year now, and it affects both the SE app and the SO app.   You can go back to the previous screen and open the question again, and everything appears as normal. You can also rotate the screen to get the text to come back. Using the arrows to navigate between the question and answers updates the HUD, but the screen remains white unless one of the above is done to get the text back.        UPDATE: After posting anything (comment, answer), the screen goes all white except for the sidebar. Perhaps it is intentional, but I prefer last week’s behavior of going back to the content. Not major, since the sidebar icons still work. Asserting that Atheism and Theism are both faith based positions I am recently testing an assertion that I have concluded namely that atheism is a faith based position just like theism is a faith based position.  The reason I arrived at this conclusion is that theists have no proof that God actually exists. It's purely a matter of faith. Yes, there maybe strong implicit proof that God exists in their opinion (scriptures, history, etc) but there is no concrete proof of God's existence. In my view, atheists also suffer from the same problem of providing a proof of their position. Specifically that they cannot prove that God is non-existent.  The typical rebuttal I get is that the burden of proof is on the theists. But I view this as a cop out and they hide behind the wall of burden of proof which is just a bias in the debate.  Given the above, I claim that both atheism and theism are positions based on faith. Would it be incorrect to claim that? Using a web service is often an excellent architectural approach. And, with the advent of WCF in .Net, it's getting even better.  But, in my experience, some people seem to think that web services should always be used in the data access layer for calls to the database. I don't think that web services are the universal solution.  I am thinking of smaller intranet applications with a few dozen users. The web app and its web service are deployed to one web server, not a web farm. There isn't going to be another web app in the future that can use this particular web service. It seems to me that the cost of calling the web service unnecessarily increases the burden on the web server. There is a performance hit to inter-process calls. Maintaining and debugging the code for the web app and the web service is more complicated. So is deployment. I just don't see the advantages of using a web service here.  One could test this by creating two versions of the web app, with and without the web service, and do stress testing, but I haven't done it.  Do you have an opinion on using web services for small-scale web app's? Any other occasions when web services are not a good architectural choice? Let $\Omega=\mathbb{N}$. For each $E\subset\Omega$ let $N_n(E)$ be the cardinality of the set $E\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Define $C=\left\{E: \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{N_n(E)}{n} \text{ exists}\right\}$. Show that $C$ isn't a field.  I already know that it isn't closed to finite union of non-disjoint set but I can't see why. I saw a post that somebody said &quot;the set of natural numbers whose first digit is 1 doesn't have this limit&quot;. I'm in trouble to see why this limit wouldn't exists in finite unions. Thanks in advance. Using headset controls like a smart phone I have a generic pair of smartphone earphones that have the button (along with a microphone) and I would like to use the button as a pause/play key in Ubuntu, like I would on an Android phones music player.  Is there a way to enable this headset control in Ubuntu?  If the headset controls are a hardware feature of audio jacks used in Android phones, the name of that hardware (audio jack) would be appreciated. Okay setting the scene. I have three tables, (Table1, Table2 and DataTable) and I want to insert into Table1 and Table2 using DataTable as source. So for every row in DataTable I want a row in Table1 and Table2, and Table2 needs to have the inserted id (PK) from Table1...  If I were to do this...  INSERT INTO Table1 SELECT A, B, C FROM MyTable INSERT INTO Table2 SELECT IDENTITY_INSERT(), D, E, F FROM MyTable   I'd get the ID of the last inserted record into Table1.  Is a CURSOR or WHILE loop the only ways to do this? A grim and tragic question perhaps, but I'm curious:  What happens when a person that co-signed on a loan dies? Is the co-signer's estate potentially liable until the loan is paid off, the same as if the co-signer had borrowed the money themselves?  Or, does the responsibility for the loan die with the co-signer?  Does the bank/lender take on that risk? I find that at the end of a long day, I sometimes have a large number of programs running. All which I will need to use tomorrow. Normally, this isn't an issue, I can simply lock the machine and come back tomorrow. My problem arrises when windows update launches in the middle of the night and force restarts my computer. That in turns closes all my open software. I of course save everything regularly so I don't loose anything, but I waste time reopening all of those resources whenever there is a restart.   [EDIT]  I should clarify that I still want to be able to restart my computer when an update comes down. Preventing the restart only delays the problem until later. I should have been more specific in that I want to be able to recover my working environment after a restart for any reason. Things like scheduled maintence, power loss, updates, and software installs.  [EDIT]  I can't simply have them setup to launch at startup becasuse those files change from week to week. So I need something that monitors what I have open, and gives me the option to "recover" those software sessions when I log back in.  Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I'd even be willing to purchase software to do this for me if that is the only option.  Thanks Why aren't all the badges shown on the track menu? I like using the 'Track Badges' menu on my profile a lot (I know what you're going to say, I just have a knack for these things), but I keep noticing something a bit unusual.  Many of the Badges featured on the actual list do not get featured on this menu. For example, I've been hoping to be able to track progress for the Pundit badge (ten comments with score of five or more), but it doesn't show up in the menu.  Why not? Why is it bad practice to test for item names? I've heard that testing for item names and lores in Minecraft JE is bad practice. For example, the following commands are not good: execute if entity @e[nbt={Inventory:[{tag:{display:{Name:'[{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Test Thing&quot;}]'}}}]}] clear @p minecraft:diamond{display:{Name:'{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Shiny…&quot;}'}} 0 clear @p minecraft:netherite_sword{display:{Lore:['{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;A Mysterious Sword&quot;}']}} 0  Why are these commands considered bad practice? Are they prone to failure and may not work? And what can I do to fix them? Note that this only applies to reading item names, not setting them. The following are not considered bad practice and in fact are the only ways to accomplish these tasks: give @p minecraft:diamond{display:{Name:'{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Shiny…&quot;}'}} replaceitem @p weapon.mainhand minecraft:netherite_sword{display:{Lore:['{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;A Mysterious Sword&quot;}']}} Let $g_n= {2^2}^n +1 $.

I'm not sure how to start this proof, if it should be done algebraically or if I should try to use a proof by induction. Determining if a file is a hard link or symbolic link? I'm creating a shell script that would take a filename/path to a file and determine if the file is a symbolic link or a hard link.   The only thing is, I don't know how to see if they are a hard link. I created 2 files, one a hard link and one a symbolic link, to use as a test file. But how would I determine if a file is a hard link or symbolic within a shell script?   Also, how would I find the destination partition of a symbolic link? So let's say I have a file that links to a different partition, how would I find the path to that original file?
