When we talk about an event, should we use "It is" or "This is"?
it VS. this Vs. that
Solve for $x$: $2^x=4x$ Given that $x$ is a positive integer. By using methods of trial and error as well as plotting two lines: $y=2^x$, $y=4x$ on a graph and find their intersection point, we can easily solve for $x$ which is equal to 4. However, I do not know how to solve this using only equation. Can anyone help me? $SU(3)$ irreducible representations with tensor method I know the "textbook" estimate of the standard error of a proportion is $SE=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$, but does this hold up when the data are weighted? Can python be used to edit a Text Object? That is, can python code replace, for example, a single letter in a Text Object or insert a letter or string into a Text Object.  Note that I'm not talking about replacing a Text Object with some updated string, such as, object.text = "new string". I'm thinking more about having access to the Text cursor (not the mouse cursor) and positioning it on some letter that I'd like to replace.  In other words, I'd like to have the same capability during BGE play that I have when altering a Text Object in the edit mode. Multi-OS Portable TeX system Python scope: "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'c' referenced before assignment" I would like to count the number of unique selections from a column that contains multiple selections from a drop down list.  For example, column B3 contains,     Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday   The count function returns a value of 1 instead of 3 - is there any way to count the three days distinctly? Thank you!  Multiple selections from a drop down list was made possible using the VBA code from: How do I select all but two types of entities in Minecraft with the type selector? How should a user's death be handled? It is a bit of a morbid concept, but having recently had a friend die unexpectedly and having to deal with the online repercussions of this event has gotten me to thinking about what should happen to my accounts when I kick the bucket.  I haven't had any great insights yet, but here are some things I think are worth thinking about:   an entry in the FAQ telling the person's loved ones what to do with respect to the account would be extremely helpful, specifically who to contact, how to contact them, and what proof is necessary some form of optional date of death on the user account screen some way to mark the user as no longer being able to generate content and blocking any attempt to login as the user.   The danger I see in implementing such features is the possibility of someone faking another person's death and thereby locking a user out of his or her account or worrying his or her friends. A sequence of real numbers such that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}|x_n-x_{n+1}|=0$ but it is not Cauchy Delayed eraser experiment (Kim experiment) Will I receive an interference pattern on D0 detector   if D1, D2, D3, D4 exist in the set up of the experiment, but they are thousands of light years far? Simply, to set up the experiment so that I detect all of the signal photons on D0 before I detect any of idler photons! I am flying to Tokyo in November, and I have the choice to go direct (paying extra) or transit via Seoul. Is 6 hours transit time enough to leave Incheon airport for a bit to see something of Seoul? It might make my trip more worthwhile to see something of South Korea too. I don't know much about the busyness of the airport around this time, and travel time between the airport and the city, so that's why I am asking.

Several years ago I heard of something called dummy subjects in high school. It was then stated that, for example, it is a dummy subject when it starts many instances of sentences, e.g.        It is rainy today.   It is hard to imagine how hard is to live alone.   It is not my university degree that matters here.     My question is if we can use it with plural subjects? For example in       If some think that in Mahmoud Dowlatabadi’s works it is only social themes that matter and the writer is ignoring fictional arrays and artistic techniques, at least, endings of his stories show wrongness of this idea.     My question deals with the italicized part. If this usage is OK, can we also write they are social themes that matter? I mean can they also play the role of a dummy subject? Bash 'unbound variable' error when variables are referenced in multiline comment (set -u) I have an unexpected behaviour- following snippet fail with 'unbound variable' error:  #!/bin/bash set -u &lt;&lt;EOF a=a b=$a EOF   Tested on:  GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release  GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release I'm trying to remember information about a series of three books I read in the early 1980's (first book could have been published in the 1970's). The book featured a character who was a scientific creation of some sort. It was (initially, I believe) an assassin, and had the ultimate getaway scheme; with effort, it could change its body, becoming about 10 years younger and switching sex. It changed 4 or 5 times in the first book, coming down from a senior citizen to someone in their teens or twenties; in the second and third books, it changed once per book (by the last book, it was a child or a young teenager).  The first book was title something like "The Morph..." where whatever the word was that started with "Morph" was this creature. No recollection of the author's name, or the titles of the other two books.  I think the cover of the first book was predominantly yellow, with black silhouettes representing the character at the four ages seen in the book, and a black title. And/or, the book might have been published by DAW (all their books at the time had yellow spines with black letters). Shell Script to move folders containing a specific word I'm searching for an simple shell script to mv all folders in /var/www/uploads/ that containing Math or Physics in the name to /mnt/Backup/. How do I get all 3 characters together for the "Three man army" trophy? Over the course of my entire game I have been trying to phone each of the protagonists in order to get this trophy. Each time I successfully 'Hang Out' with one of the characters the other one is always unreachable (busy tone on their cell) or not interested.   What is the easiest way to get all three characters together in order to get this trophy/achievement?   Secondly, there are obviously points in the story where this is not possible due to certain characters being otherwise occupied. Is there a best or easiest time to get the characters together?  Specifically:(End game spoiler)      I want to know if it is still possible to get this trophy in post game. I choose option C: Deathwish which resulted in all three characters surviving (and becoming friends again) but I still can't get them all together? I want to turn a photo in a engraving style picture, like  using GIMP and, if possible, then make an SVG out of it with Inkscape.  Can you recommend any filters/tools/plugins/tutorials for this? Let $T$ and $T^{'}$ be topologies on set $X$ such that $T \leq T^{'}$. If $(X,T^{'})$ is path-connected, is $(X,T)$ path connected? Let $T$ and $T^{'}$ be topologies on set $X$ such that $T \leq T^{'}$. If $(X,T^{'})$ is path-connected, is $(X,T)$ path-connected?  I think it is, and I tried to prove it by contradiction, but I got stuck. Any hint helps!
