Current limiting resistors for preventing shorts at power supply turn-on
Importance of series resistor at output of Rectifier
How to allow to run su instantly after I added the user to the appropriate group How is the passage of time handled in Pokemon? I stopped following the Pokemon anime a while ago, but I know the series has had Ash go through many regions, including retreading at least one of them.  When Ash was about to get his eight badge, Misty mentioned that they'd been on the road for a year at that point.  I saw some recent episodes, and Ash looks nearly identical to when he first started as a trainer.  Normally I'd attribute that to cartoon sitcom logic, where the characters never age; but in a series with continuity and references to earlier seasons, this makes no sense.  What's the official word on a timeline for the Pokemon anime? What word indicates spatial data within the geographical and geological domains? In particular, what word is precise enough for a science journal article (i.e., formal prose)? Candidates might include &quot;spatial data,&quot; &quot;geodata,&quot; &quot;geospatial data,&quot; and &quot;geographic data.&quot; &quot;Spatial data&quot; seems too generic (not necessarily within the geographical and geological domains). What is the consensus, if any exists? In linear regression, each predicted value is assumed to have been picked from a normal distribution of possible values. See below.  But why is each predicted value assumed to have come from a normal distribution? How does linear regression use this assumption? What if possible values are not normally distributed? How handicapped am I in graduate admissions if I graduated from a lower tier university? Due to a combination of factors, I ended up going for my undergraduate studies to a relatively unknown university that was close to me geographically.  Let's say that I have a relatively standard background for someone trying to apply to top tier schools for graduate studies (some research experience, some low to medium quality publications, very strong grades, good recommendation letters). Then how much does the alma mater have an impact for someone like me? I obviously know that it is still possible to be accepted, but how much of a disadvantage am I looking at exactly? Can I put a metal safe weighing 2000 lbs in a 12x12 room? I have a 12'x12' upstairs bedroom. Can a 2000 lbs safe be placed in that room? The dimensions would be the same size as a queen size bed (60"x80").  Can you supply the math in your answer.  Thank you in advance  Danny Stack Exchange doesn't know when I last checked my global inbox? I am subscribed to get my unread inbox items every 3 hours. It's working well, but today I noticed something quite weird:    For sake of future search, adding the text:  The following item was added to your Stack Exchange global inbox since you last checked it on 2015-05-18  But that's just not true, I checked my inbox yesterday. Not 7 months ago. Can it be fixed, or did I miss something? Even going to my  did not &quot;fix&quot; this, got today another email with the same date as yesterday. I am still learning settings API so please forgive my noob question. I have three fields: a checkbox, colorpicker and text field (they are working), but I would like to do this: when the theme is installed add "checked" state to my checkbox but allow user to "unchecked" it ,and if empty add default color to my colorpicker... I have no idea how to do this so please help me!

Does anyone have an idea of what should be done in such case (supposing it is even possible)? Why is $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-n}], n\ge 3$ not a UFD? How to view the moderators here in MSE?

When I take a picture through a window, I often see a reflection on the glass. I have noticed that this occurs mostly when it is dark or overcast outside or it is especially bright on my side of the glass. How can I stop this? For which $n≥2$ does there exist $\sigma\in A_n$ with $|\sigma| &gt; n$? I have a proof that I'd like to be verified. My proof that there exists $\sigma\in A_n$ with $|\sigma| &gt; n$ if and only if $n\geq 8$: For $n&lt;8$, one can manually verify for each $n$ that there is no $\sigma\in A_n$ with order greater than $n$. Suppose $n\geq 8$. Case 1: $n$ is even and $3\not\mid n$. Then the permutation $(1,2,3)(4,\dots,n)$ is even and has order $\operatorname{lcm}(3,n-3)=3n-9\geq n+16-9\geq n + 7$. Case 2: $n$ is even and $3\mid n$. Then $n\geq 12$, so $n-2\geq 8$ is even and is not divisible by 3. Applying Case 1, we see that $(1,2,3)(4,\dots,n-2)\in A_n$ has order at least $n+5$. Case 3: $n$ is odd. Then apply one of the previous two cases with $n-1$ to get an even permutation with order at least $n+4$. $\blacksquare$ Is my proof correct? It doesn't seem very elegant. Is there some slicker proof? How can I change the colors of lightning-button?  I tried doing this in my css:  .my-button {     background-color: #14a6bc;     color: #ffffff; }   and applying that class to my &lt;lightning-button&gt; and removing the variant but I still get the base colors? I am trying to use these examples: How does Ubuntu partition the disk when we choose "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" during installation? I have parent folder "parent". Inside this folder I have subfolders, and a file named "names.txt". this file includes the names of these subfolders as follow:  Parent_folder folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 . . . . names.txt   The content of the file "names.txt" is as follow:  folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 . . .   Inside every folder I have images and I want to apply consecutively 10 scripts on every image ( every script must finish it is job inside every folder, then the second script must be run). These scripts have different names and they are exist in one folder. I set an environment by sourcing a file then I can call these scripts by its name from terminal .At the same time I want to apply this process on all the folders at once. i.e. when script #1 is running, I want it to be running on all the folders at the same time. When it is done and script #2 will start. I want it to start in all the folders at once and so on... In order to achieve this I wrote the following code:  #!/bin/bash path=PATH/TO/THE/PARENT/FOLDER for i in $(cat $path/names.txt); do { script#1 } &amp; { script#2 } &amp; . . .  done   This code is not working efficiently as all the commands are running at once. I want the commands to run on all the folders at once but consecutively.  What I am doing wrong? Order of "not" with infinitive Centre of $GL_n(\mathbb R)$ How to prove that center of $GL_n(\mathbb R)$ is scalar matrices?  Again what can you say about the center of set of all upper triangular matrices and center of set of all diagonal matrices. disable clickable landmark on google map Triggered by a  I was wondering what actually would happen to a ship (e.g. the Enterprise-D NCC-1701) that collides with a stationary object such as a) another ship of a similar configuration or b) a gigantic structure like a moon or even a planet.  We know the deflector is supposed to keep interstellar dust (not to be confused with ordinary dust, which is a different thing) from ripping large holes in the ship.  At first, one thinks "Obvious. ." But does it really? Would the deflector manage to actually deflect both masses? If not, where is the threshold of what a deflector can handle? Would the ship maybe tunnel right through the object, because of wibbly-wobbly space wobblification by the warp field? It does do some weird things to the space right in front and behind the vessel.  Important remark: We cannot approach this with what we know about physics at all. For all intents and purposes, both ships must measure the other ship travelling faster than light, resulting in it having infinite (or rather undefined) mass and by extension momentum. If we start with that reasoning any ship jumping to warp would suck in the entire universe (it takes a moment, but think about it). So, obviously we cannot apply our intuition (even our relativistic intuition) here.
