How can PCs estimate the power of opponents?
Is there a safe way to determine how powerful an opponent is?
How to prevent "Delhi Belly"? can't type lower cased e in amazon ec2 (Amazon Linux) After a few days of operation on my new ec2 build, the following happens:   I log into SSH, everything is fine, I do my coding I return the next day, and log into SSH I cannot type a lower cased e anymore--I get the error ding when I type it I try to ssh from a different computer, same problem I reboot the server, same problem I open nano or vi and e works fine, just not in bash or sh I terminate the server, create a new one, install from scratch, a few days later it happens again   This is baffling! Where do I even start to troubleshoot?

I say reliably because I know its not possible 100% of the time. Example of $f,g: [0,1]\to[0,1]$ and Riemann-integrable, but $g\circ f$ is not? Is it possible to restore a MySql database only using files from Data directory? Anonymous users can't see new content type in feed Do users get notifications when @ was edited in If you multiclass a Warlock and a Sorcerer, then you have a character with both the Spellcasting and Pact Magic features.  PHB Page 101, Sorcerer, Spellcasting, Spell Slots:     You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   PHB Page 107, Warlock, Pact Magic, Spell Slots:     You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.   PHB Page 165, Customization Options, Multiclassing, Class Features:     Pact Magic. If you have both the Spellcasting class feature and the Pact Magic class feature from the warlock class, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Pact Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting class feature, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast warlock spells you know.   Do the spell slots keep their previous method of recovery (sorcerer slots long rest, warlock slots any rest), or do they all act consistently as I am led to believe from the language of the multiclass section? Do they all recover only from long rests as per the sorcerer feature, or can they all be recovered with a short rest because the warlock feature says so? The origin of spin is some what a puzzle to me, everything spin from galaxies to planets to weather to electrons.  Where has all the angular momentum come from? Why is it so natural?  I was also thinking do photons spin? we always think of the wave as a standard 2d sin wave but could this rotate in 3d? What implications would this have?   And what about spacetime how does all the spinning effect?  This has always been avoided in all lectures and classes I ever went to. What is a tty, and how do I access a tty? I downloaded and installed Ubuntu from the official site. However, I don't know if I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version.  In Windows 7 I could right click My Computer and it listed which version it was.  Is there an easy way to check in Ubuntu? Assume $\bar A\cap\bar B=\emptyset$. Is $\partial (A \cup B)=\partial A\cup\partial B$, where $\partial A$ and $\bar A$ mean the boundary set and closure of set $A$?   I can prove that $\partial (A \cup B)\subset \partial A\cup\partial B$ but for proving $\partial A\cup\partial B\subset \partial (A \cup B)$ it seems not trivial. I tried to show that for $x\in \partial A\cup\partial B$ WLOG, $x\in \partial A$ so $B(x)\cap A$ and $B(x)\cap A^c$ not equal to $\emptyset$ but it seems not enough to show the result. Why is brace expansion not supported? Do I have to do any configuration to start brace expansion? When I run mkdir {1..10}, it just creates a dir naming {1..10}. How to copy a dictionary and only edit the copy CentOS 7 DVD ISO vs Everything ISO different Is there an ideal PWM frequency for DC brush motors? If I have $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that $f$ is onto and $f\circ f\circ f = f$, how can I prove that $f$ is bijective? I know that I only have to prove that it is 1-to-1 because I'm given the fact that it's onto, but how can I use the fact that $f\circ f\circ f=f$ to prove that it is 1-to-1?  Thanks! Do rogues get sneak attack damage added to attacks made outside their turn? PHB says 'once per turn,' so, it would seem that a Rogue with Sentinel, for example, could "consistently" deal Sneak attack twice per round (whether the enemy triggers an OA or the melee weapon attack provided by the Feat).  So, can rogues deal sneak attack damage with any weapon attack outside their turn? (obv. one that meets the standard requirements--finesse, adv or adj ally)
