Can I untap an attacking creature and avoid exchanging combat damage?
Does untapping an attacker stop its attack?
A children's book series about a farm that grows massive food There was a series of illustrated children's books that I was introduced to as a child in the late 1980's early 1990's.  The main character was a farmer - I can't remember the name, but I think it was Mc or Mac something. He bought his farm from a sleazy character who was trying to cheat him. The farmland was originally some kind of swampy land, but this industrious character (and his family) discovered that the land would grow plants to a massive size - radishes the size of basketballs, etc.  There were some pretty fantastic stories and adventure that the character would get into, such as one winter the weather got so cold that the wind (not the air) outside froze. They went out and cut it up and stored it in the icebox and would thaw out some of the cold breeze later in the hot summer.  The sleazy character made a constant appearance, trying to swindle this family out of the farm.  My Google-Fu seems to fail me at every turn. Do you know what this series is? Ubuntu 18.04 opening system setting logs me out I've recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 in a dual-boot configuration with Windows 10. I noticed today that, when trying to open system settings, Ubuntu seems to log me out to the lock screen. When I log back in, all previously-running applications are now closed. Very unsure what to do from here, any help much appreciated. How to convert an "object" into a function in JavaScript? JavaScript allows functions to be treated as objects--if you first define a variable as a function, you can subsequently add properties to that function.  How do you do the reverse, and add a function to an "object"?  This works:  var foo = function() { return 1; }; foo.baz = "qqqq";   At this point, foo() calls the function, and foo.baz has the value "qqqq".  However, if you do the property assignment part first, how do you subsequently assign a function to the variable?  var bar = { baz: "qqqq" };   What can I do now to arrange for bar.baz to have the value "qqqq" and bar() to call the function? Can you benefit from the Dueling fighting style for one weapon, then draw a second weapon as part of Extra Attack to qualify for Two-Weapon Fighting? Fullscreen YouTube video crash Can a negative charge ionize air? Adding to this question, I have studied that positive charge ionizes air but never studied that negative charge ionize air. If possible, please explain how does it ionize air? Why and how does ([![]]+[][[]])[+!+[]+[+[]]] evaluate to the letter "i"? Original sentence:     Prince Andrew, looking again at that genealogical tree, shook his head, laughing as a man laughs who looks at a portrait so characteristic of the original as to be amusing.    (War and Peace, Tolstoy, English translation)     In the sentence above, shouldn't the comma before laughing be omitted if this is about the participle clause denoting "an action that happens at the same time in the past"?  I mean it should be      Prince Andrew…shook his head laughing as a man…   Plus, shouldn't the verb laugh after a man be in the past tense in order to be in accordance (agreement) with shook his head?   You know, the whole sentence should be consistent…. Why are there holes in the icing? I tried to follow the new Blender 2.8 tutorial from Blender Guru.   When entering "Sculpting" with the icing there were suddenly alot of holes in it. Why is this? A closed form of $\int_0^1\frac{\ln\ln\left({1}/{x}\right)}{x^2-x+1}\mathrm dx$ This integral has been bugging me since yesterday:     $$\int_0^1\frac{\ln\ln\left({1}/{x}\right)}{x^2-x+1}\mathrm dx$$   I've tried substitution $y={1}/{x}$ and $e^y={1}/{x}$, but those didn't help much. Wolfram Alpha gives me result: $-0.67172$. Could anyone here please help me to obtain the closed form of the integral preferably (if possible) with elementary ways (high school methods)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I'm a begginer in blender, so please forgive me if the question looks silly to you!  Almost all the objects in my scene disappeared (except 2) as if I deleted them by mistake. The thing is all the objects are still listed in the right side graph. The all have the eye button activated, but yet nothing is visible anymore! As I don't have a backup file, I simply can't find any tricks to fix this...  Thank you for you help!

I have my wireless card as wlan0. And the Internet connection is fine too. Then, what I do is:  airmon-ng start wlan0 airodump-ng wlan0mon   Now the airodump-ng doesn't work, saying "Device or resource busy".  In order to run this I have to kill some processes, using:  airmon-ng stop wlan0 airmon-ng check kill airmon-ng start wlan0 airodump-ng wlan0mon   Now the cracking process is up.   I can start cracking, but now I cannot connect to the Internet after the kill process.  On typing iwconfig in terminal, I get this:  root@kali:~#iwconfig wlan0mon IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"myessid"         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00          Bit Rate=108 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off       Encryption key:off       Power Management:off       Link Quality=42/70  Signal level=-68 dBm         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0       Tx excessive retries:2  Invalid misc:9   Missed beacon:0  eth0      no wireless extensions. lo        no wireless extensions.   And, on running ifconfig on terminal, I get this:  root@kali:~#ifconfig lo        Link encap:Local Loopback         inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0       inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host       UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1       RX packets:5604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0       TX packets:5604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0       collisions:0 txqueuelen:0        RX bytes:452904 (442.2 KiB)  TX bytes:452904 (442.2 KiB)   There is no wlan0 or wlan0mon. I also restarted the network manager by:      service network-manager restart   But nothing changed. Though it displays wlan0 when checked using ifconfig this time. How does a uniform prior lead to the same estimates from maximum likelihood and mode of posterior? I am studying different point estimate methods and read that when using MAP vs ML estimates, when we use a "uniform prior", the estimates are identical. Can somebody explain what a "uniform" prior is and give some (simple) examples of when the MAP and ML estimators would be the same? Switch Stack Exchange site's interface to the beta theme Here's my source:  #!/bin/bash  echo "Running script to free general cached memory!" echo ""; echo "Script must be run as root!"; echo ""; echo "Clearing swap!"; swapoff -a &amp;&amp; swapon -a; echo ""; echo "Clear inodes and page file!"; echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; echo "";   It clears caches and stuff, and it echoes that it needs to be run as root in the terminal. I basically just want the script to cease running if it detects it's not being executed as root.   Example:  "Running script to free general cached memory!" "Warning: script must be run as root or with elevated privileges!" "Error: script not running as root or with sudo! Exiting..."   If run with elevated privileges, it just runs as normal. Any ideas? Thanks! I have a quaternion, coming from a system with the following:(intertial sensor)  Right handed. Forward direction: Y axis Right direction: X axis Up direction: Z axis   I need to convert this into a coordinate system that is: (Unreal engine)  left-handed. Forward direction: X axis Right direction: Y axis Up direction: Z axis   I have tried negating the axis, and angle, I have tried switching values, i cannot get this to work. All help greatly appreciated! I am working in C#, with Microsoft.Xna.Quaternion. Recovering the data from a failed WD My Book NAS drive My Western Digital 500GB NAS drive (which is my main backup device) has recently broken. Windows can no longer use it as a network drive (using Map Network Drive), and the web-based control panel is INCREDIBLY sluggish, taking as much as 5 minutes to load a single page.  However, when it does load, it reports the Drive Status as OK, and has the correct disk usage values, which leads me to think the actual drive is OK, and it's the networking components that have failed.  I have checked the wires and router, and so it their isn't another point in the network causing the problem.  Is there any way to get the data back? It's a backup, so I still have about 80% of the data spread out across 3 computers (the only major loss being my music library, and I have the discs for a fair proportion of that).  However, it'd be much more convenient if I can get the data from the drive itself, as it is organised properly on the drive. How do I save a variable or function definition to a file?
