Whose VS. which
Can “whose” refer to an inanimate object?
How to make beveled 90 degree corners on a curve better? I know the title is a mouthful, but this is the problem: I made a curve with 90 degree corners, like so:  I then beveled it, and this was the result:  As you can imagine, this isn't very pretty. I'm looking for something like this:  How can I achieve this look? Need to develop a tapered spacer for under a car lift on an angled concrete slab I need to fabricate/develop an angled spacer.  13 inch wide by 10 inch long, by 3/4 inch to 1 3/8 inch thick. This spacer is needed to go under two of the posts of a hobbyist car lift in my garage. The garage floor is angled by the door where two of the four corner posts will go. These two rear posts need to be on a flat surface and at the same level as the two front posts.  Each post pad will need to handle approximately 2000 pounds. I was thinking of building a 4-sided mold where the column pads would be on the angled concrete and pouring some type of epoxy, resin, or cement into the mold. Which the metal plate from car lift posts would sit on. enter image description here Buying shares when the price goes down 2% and selling shares when it goes up 2% How to deal with travel excitement? How does one usually deal with excitement about travel, prior to travel ? A lot of people feel them butterflies in their stomach before a big travel is coming up. Is there an effective way to put these feelings away ? Or how can one best deal with such excitement/feelings (which almost cause interference with day to day activities) ? Can I run my CPU at 100% usage for a long time? I have a Dell XPS 15 9570, 32 GB ram, 2.2 ghz and 6 cores. When i use an application (The parsim command on MATLAB) ()  then my fan starts running fast , during this my PC doesn't seem to be heating but it never got this noisy in the past so it got me worried. In my task manager , the CPU usage shows 100% when this application is running.   Is it a problem for the life of laptop, if I run the PC at CPU 100% for like 4 hours in a day? Do I need to be worried about the noisy fan during the application? Help with math symbols in BibTeX Is it worth using Python's re.compile? I need a cell that contains an image to also contain a hyperlink.

I just noticed that I lost a bunch of points from my reputation score, and I used the "reputation" tab on my user profile page to try and track down the cause.  During my investigation, I noticed there was an unusual event of type "reversal". In the normal place of a question title, it says "voting corrected".     What does this mean, and what caused it?  Did I do something wrong? Why did I lose all of that reputation? Is the system punishing me for leaving too many good answers?  Is there any way to earn it back?

I made a naive calculation of the height of Earth's equatorial bulge and found that it should be about 10km.  The true height is about 20km.  My question is: why is there this discrepancy?  The calculation I did was to imagine placing a ball down on the spinning Earth.  Wherever I place it, it shouldn't move.  The gravitational potential per unit mass of the ball is $hg$, with $h$ the height above the pole-to-center distance of the Earth (call that $R$) and $g$ gravitational acceleration.  Gravity wants to pull the ball towards the poles, away from the bulge.  It is balanced by the centrifugal force, which has a potential $-\omega^2R^2\sin^2\theta/2$ per unit mass, with $\omega$ Earth's angular velocity and $\theta$ the angle from the north pole.  This comes taking what in an inertial frame would be the ball's kinetic energy and making it a potential in the accelerating frame.  If the ball doesn't move, this potential must be constant, so  $$U = hg - \frac{(\omega R \sin\theta)^2}{2} = \textrm{const}$$  we might as well let the constant be zero and write  $$h = \frac{(\omega R \sin\theta)^2}{2g}$$  For the Earth,   $$R = 6.4*10^6m$$  $$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{24\ \textrm{hours}}$$  $$g = 9.8\ m/s^2$$  This gives 10.8 km when $\theta = \pi/2$, so the equatorial bulge should be roughly that large.    , the Earth is 42.72 km wider in diameter at the equator than pole-to-pole, meaning the bulge is about twice as large as I expected.  (Wikipedia cites diameter; I estimated radius.)  Where is the extra bulge coming from?  My simple calculation uses $g$ and $R$ as constants, but neither varies more than a percent or so.  It's true the Earth does not have uniform density, but it's not clear to me how this should affect the calculation, so long as the density distribution is still spherically-symmetric (or nearly so).  (Wikipedia also includes , without derivation, that agrees with mine.) I have a CSV containing x,y, and z coordinates. The CSV also has a fourth column containing information on sphere diameter. I need to create a sphere at each coordinate, having the corresponding diameter. Can someone provide me a basic Python script that performs this task? My actual task is much more involved, but I think I can solve it if I have the basics in place. What makes some laser beams visible and other laser beams invisible? Unable to uninstall Wine apps I recently ran the iTunes 10 installer in Wine and everything seemed to go well. Then, when I tried to run it, it would constantly crash/and the appearance would be glitchy. After looking at the Wine website, it turns out that iTunes 10 has a 'garbage' rating of Wine compatability.  Now I'm trying to remove/uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, and the other applications that come default with installing iTunes (such as Bonjour, etc.). However, when I run the 'uninstaller' that wine provides for the programs, it instead executes what appears to actually be the original installer! I've tried deleting all the configuration/data files in my Wine's file-system, but to no avail.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Edit1: After re-running the uninstall process and then rebooting, the program (iTunes 10) still remained installed.
