How to continue d&d after the redbox
How do I start DMing a new game after the Red Box?
Suppress Chrome 'Failed to load resource' messages in console Does "It snowed hard Monday" require an "on"? I came across an English learner writing     It snowed hard Monday.   After saying that it didn't snow on Friday and Saturday.  It didn't quite feel right to me.  I'd be okay with     It snowed hard.   or     It snowed Monday.   Is it okay for there to be two things ("hard" and "Monday") modifying the snowing without an "on" breaking things up a bit? Explanation of finite correction factor A program I am using spits out LaTeX tables in LaTeX files (outreg2 command from Stata), which I run using texify to make pdfs of the tables.  I crop these tables (using pdfcrop) and embed them elsewhere.  However, the pdfs include page numbers, which prevent pdfcrop from cropping directly around the table.  I need an automatic way to remove the page numbers before cropping.  I want to insert the command \pagenumbers{gobble} into the LaTeX code to automatically remove the page numbers.    I believe   texify --pdf --texinfo="\pagenumbering{gobble}" filename.tex   should work.  It does not. No exception pops up, but the page number remains. I cannot find documentation anywhere showing examples of using the --texinfo option to splice LaTeX code into the file before running the LaTeX file to create a pdf.   How should I properly use the texify command?  Or is there another way to splice in  \pagenumbering{gobble} before running texify? So I was playing around on Area 51 hoping for further news on the private beta for ebooks, and noticed that my avatar (a hand) was missing. Also the Area 51 has the old toolbar. So I looked at the flair page. The network flair has my hand, the Area 51 flair has a quilt. OK, so time to upload a new image, and WordPress -- WordPress -- I don't want to login to WordPress. Any idea what's up with that?  The following questions did not help, and have different causes and symptoms: Do extension fields always belong to a bigger field? Let $F$ be a field, $E_1$ and $E_2$ are two distinct extension fields of $F$. Is it the case that we can always somehow find a field $G$ that contains both $E_1$ and $E_2$? In other words, could extensions of fields have different 'direction's such that they are incompatible?  Edit: I began to think about this problem while reading a proof. $F$ is a field. $a$ and $b$ are algebraic over $F$. $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are two polynomials in $F[x]$ of minimum degree that respectively make $a$ and $b$ a zero. The proof claims that there is an extension $K$ of $F$ such that all distinct zeros of $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ lie in $K$. For a single polynomial, I know this kind of field exists because of the existence of splitting field, why it is true for two polynomials? How can I use an array of function pointers? How should I use array of function pointers in C?  How can I initialize them? Laplace equation of composite function Suppose we have $f(x,y)$, which satisfies Laplaces equation: $\frac{\delta^2f}{\delta x^2}+\frac{\delta^2f}{\delta y^2}=0$  Does $f(\frac{x}{x^2+y^2},\frac{y}{x^2+y^2})$ also satisfy Laplace equation? No more than 10,000 results are visible in search If you make a search for something that returns more than 10,000 items in result. For example, search for  return 161,338 results on MSE. But if you select a page where 10,000+ result should be shown:        In the edge case  shows zero results:        But this is actual for any page where per_page * page_number is more than 10,000.  Though this does not happen for Stack Overflow in English. It looks like all other sites are affected.  Related bug report on ruSO.meta: I have seen in American Sniper, Dead-7 and Carrie that when someone is killed, they are laying on the ground with blood leaking out of their back or somewhere else on the body.  The puddle continuously grows with few signs of slowing down. This is obviously not CGI because it is a real liquid (may not be real blood as that would spark an emergency in real life).   I have seen in American Sniper that when the protagonist kills yet another enemy, they are filmed hitting the ground and blood starts pooling around their body.  In Carrie: In the dance room where Carrie sets her powers loose and kills a lot of teenagers in the process, there are a few that hit the ground with blood pooling under their bodies. Sometimes they would be on their side with blood coming out.  In Dead 7: Kimono and the other six killed lots of zombies. Some of the six were killed in the process as well before they came to Apocalypta to kill her. They were filmed hitting the ground dead with blood pooling around them.  I am not sure how they film this as they are wearing thin shirts for these scenes, and not only that, but the characters also have blood (obviously fake) only just dripping out of the side of their mouths (an indicator they have a ruptured and wounded stomach or lung (in this case the blood would be pink and frothy).  What is the film technique that allows this to happen? Why do diamonds shine? I have always wondered why diamonds shine. Can anyone tell me why? Latex create a second keywordstyle using listing doesn't work Why "grand theft auto", not "grand auto theft"? There is a video game series called "Grand Theft Auto".  According to its :     The name of the series references the term used in the US for motor   vehicle theft.      [...]      Motor vehicle theft or, grand theft auto, is the criminal act of   stealing or attempting to steal a car (or any other motor vehicle).   I always wondered why this term sounds so strange.   Shouldn't it be "grand auto theft" or maybe "grand theft of auto" instead? Are there any other terms with strange words order and/or missing prepositions like this? Is it possible to recursively instance object particles? I have 4 copies of the Hot Questions widgets.  Sometimes, possibly after they reload on their own, I can only tap to open the last widget I added. If I tap on the question of any others nothing happens.  If I refresh each one then tapping works on the one I refreshed. iSight cable for mid 2009 macbook pro 13" help If my iSight camera no longer works and neither does my bluetooth, should my wifi still technically be working? Aren't they all co-dependent(if that makes sense) or can the fact that my wifi is still functional mean that the iSight camera still works and it's a software problem. Why put a resistor in series with signal line? A lot of times in circuits I see a resistor placed in series in a signal line and sometimes even in series with an MCU's VDD line. Is the intention of this to smooth out noise in the line? How is this different from using a small cap, like a .1µF to do the same thing? Separate long math text under sum symbol into different lines? Can I use the Unity launcher icon to minimize applications/windows? How long can eggs be unrefrigerated before becoming unsafe to eat? A friend of mine accidentally left a carton of eggs on her counter, unrefrigerated, for three days. The eggs had been previously refrigerated both at the store and at home. Now she's planning to do some more cooking which requires eggs, and is wondering if it's still safe to use them for baking. I believe she is planning on baking cookies with them, so they would be baked at fairly high temperatures for probably at least 10 minutes. Would this be safe, or are eggs left unrefrigerated for that long not safe for consumption?
