If I start play with three levels of Sorcerer (allowing me four spells), must I choose spells as if I began at level 1, or can I choose any four spells?  If I began at first level, I would have two level 1 spells. Per level up, I can forget one spell and learn a new one. Since level 3 is the first time the Sorc can get 2nd level spells, I can only have two level 1 spells and two level 2 spells.  But beginning with three Sorc levels right away, if allowed to choose any four spells, I would be able to choose four level 2 spells and no level 1 spells.  I realize this isn't optimal since there are only two level 2 slots at level 3, but this could be useful, if not without its drawbacks, in the case of a multiclassed Sorc. Anyway, any rules that can be quoted to support your answer would be great, but any reasoning to support either case would be good as well.
It's not clear to me how to choose Spells Known when creating a new character at a higher level.  Let's take the Bard as a working example first:  Bard level 2:   Spells Known: 5 Slots per Spell level: 1st &times; 3   Bard level 3:   Spells Known: 6 Slots per Spell level: 1st &times; 4, 2nd &times; 2   I'm interpreting this to mean that, if an existing 2nd-level Bard gains a new level (level 3), he's gaining 1 (one) new spell known. He can then choose the new spell known to be either 1st or 2nd, correct?  What I don't understand then, is the case of creating a new character starting at a higher level; say, creating a new Bard at level 3.  In that case you're forced to choose 6 spells, which must be from the list of 1st- and 2nd-level spells, correct?  When making this 3rd-level Bard from scratch, though, can I select 2nd level spells for all 6 spells known?  As another example, say you're creating a very high level Bard from scratch, starting at level 15. The book says your Spells Known is 19, and your spell slots are 1st × 4, 2nd × 3, 3rd × 3, 4th × 3, 5th × 2, 6th × 1, 7th × 1, and 8th × 1.  So, for those 19 Spells Known, you can choose any spells from 1st through 8th spell level. Am I free then to select as many spells as I can at 8th spell level (5 in number), working backwards, and in the end ignoring the 1st, 2nd, 3rd level spells entirely?  As another example, the Ranger doesn't know any spells at 1st level, nor have any spell slots, but the book says “You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.” Does it mean at 2nd level and above?  Long story short: When choosing Spells Known for a spellcasting character created above 1st level, am I allowed to choose my Spells Known at whatever spell level I like, just so long as I have at least one spell slot of that level?  I'm working on a D&amp;D 5e character generator and need to clarify this.
Google map only loading half of itself I am foreign graduate student in USA. I recently completed my undergrad (from USA) and have a bit of money saved up. I know that F1 students cannot work off campus and other business activities such stock trading etc are prohibited as well. I wanted to know if opening an account in an investment management firm like Charles Schwabb or Betterment is allowed. I would not be working but I will still be earning a small interest on my deposits. If that is not allowed, are there any good and legal ways for foreign students to earn a little interest on savings? What is sudo apt-get -f install? what is the usage of apt-get -f install . when I run sudo apt-get update I got some errors at the end It says try apt-get -f install. What is this command?  the last part of my error is :   . . .   going to be installed   E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). This is a Q&amp;A so I answer it myself. I searched for an answer to this question for ages and didn't find anything so I'll add this here if anybody else struggles with the same issue.  So, how can I merge two edge loops to one? I do not want to connect them (I have seen many answers that suggest to just bridge the edge loops), nor do I want to merge each vertex by hand. I just want each vertex to be merged with the closest opposing vertex.  Also, I find it highly unpractical and in most situations useless to remove doubles after moving the vertices to overlap each other by scaling and moving the edge loops. This is another common suggested answer. If $\left(1+\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1+\cos \phi\right) = \frac{5}{4}\;,$ Then $\left(1-\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1-\cos \phi\right)$ If $\displaystyle \left(1+\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1+\cos \phi\right) = \frac{5}{4}\;,$ Then $\left(1-\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1-\cos \phi\right) = $  $\bf{My\; Try::}$ Given $\displaystyle \left(1+\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1+\cos \phi\right) = \frac{5}{4}\Rightarrow 1+\sin \phi\cdot \cos \phi+\sin \phi+\cos \phi = \frac{5}{4}.$  So $\displaystyle \sin \phi+\cos \phi+\sin \phi \cdot \cos \phi = \frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \left(\sin \phi+\cos \phi\right) = \frac{1}{4}-\sin \phi \cdot \cos \phi.$  Now $\displaystyle \left(1-\sin \phi\right)\cdot \left(1-\cos \phi\right) = 1-\left(\sin \phi+\cos \phi\right)+\sin \phi \cdot \cos \phi =\frac{3}{4}+\sin 2\phi$  Now How can I calculate $\sin 2\phi.$  Help me, Thanks Trying to dual boot Ubuntu 14.10 with Windows 10, last one not detected I have a laptop, and I'm going to install Ubuntu (I have experience, and I have  successfully installed , Ubuntu, , , , , , etc.), but installing  (Utopic Unicorn) alongside , Ubuntu can't detect Windows.

What is the word or term used to describe doing an activity or work with a high level of concentration and intention, trying your best? what is the total number of distinct arrangements of $n$ oranges and $n$ apples around a round table? I have no idea how to go about. Group member cannot write even with write permission Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence such that $|x_{n+1} - x_n| &lt; r^n$ for all $n \geq 1$, for some $0 &lt; r &lt; 1$. Prove that $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a Cauchy sequence.  I understand that a Cauchy sequence means that for all $\varepsilon &gt; 0$ $\exists N$ so that for $n,m \ge N$ we have $|a_m - a_n| \le \varepsilon$. But this one is really giving me a headache.  I tried doing something like: let $ m &gt; n$. Therefore $x_n - x_m$ =  $(x_n - x_{n-1}) + (x_{n-1} - x_{n-2}) + ... + (x_{m+1} - x_m) $ and then somehow using the triangle inequality to compute some sum such that $x_n - x_m$  &lt; sum which would be epsilon?  any help is appreciated, thank you. How does evolving relate to CP? Rendering an animation the way 3D view looks Is there some way to render exactly whats in the camera view in the 3D view? By that I mean just like a screenshot really, all paths, lamps, and cameras, just like things look in the camera view. The reason I can't just take a screenshot is that I need an animation and it would be too cumbersome to take 1000+ screenshots! How to allocate aligned memory only using the standard library? I just finished a test as part of a job interview, and one question stumped me, even using Google for reference. I'd like to see what the StackOverflow crew can do with it:  The memset_16aligned function requires a 16-byte aligned pointer passed to it, or it will crash. a) How would you allocate 1024 bytes of memory, and align it to a 16 byte boundary? b) Free the memory after the memset_16aligned has executed.  {        void *mem;    void *ptr;     // answer a) here     memset_16aligned(ptr, 0, 1024);     // answer b) here     } Language specific settings for field formatters I've created a custom field formatter widget for numeric fields. The formatter has A LOT of settings to customize the visual output of that number, to whatever designers/marketing wants (adding a lot of HTML markup, with[out] leading/trailing zeros, zeros as dash, one or two fractions, rounding, prefixes/infixes/suffixes,... ).  Some of those settings are language-dependant though, so I'd like to enter different formatter settings in  /en/admin/structure/types/manage/MY_CONTENT_TYPE/display /de/admin/structure/types/manage/MY_CONTENT_TYPE/display /fr/admin/structure/types/manage/MY_CONTENT_TYPE/display  I've noticed that there is a $langcode parameter in   but I don't know how to make  language-aware.  Is it possible at all to have language-specific settings in a field formatter? If yes, how to I store and retrieve those settings in the correct language? Is there any way to hide taskbar labels and not combine taskbar buttons? There are three options for customizing taskbar buttons in Windows 7:   Always combine, hide labels Combine when taskbar is full Never combine   Is there any way to hide labels and not combine taskbar buttons? Or even better, to exclude only certain applications from combining?  My main problem is that I switch a lot between two instances of a single application, and having to hover over combined icon and then choosing the correct one. Alt-Tabbing is not a good alternative when I'm switching between more than three applications; clicking on taskbar only once is what I'm looking for. What is the regular expression for a decimal with a precision of 2?

What SIM card would you recommend for a smartphone user for travel in Germany?  It would be probably the only or the most important connection to the Internet, so large amounts of data and relatively fast transfer is an issue.  I need to stay in touch with friends and family, so the calls to other EU countries should be as cheap as possible.   For to the first criteria, I found the T-Mobile offer interesting. The internet costs 10 Euros/month and after reaching the transfer limit it stays relatively fast. According to tests (Galileo from Pro7, AFAIR) it has also the best coverage. However, calls to other countries are very expensive.  For to second criteria, Lebara and Mobilka are interesting. The calls are very cheap, but there are problems with signal strength in many locations, where T-Mobile has no problem. The voice quality, at least in Lebara, is also limited. They both have mobile internet with unlimited transfer, but after reaching the high speed limit, the transfer is reduced to 64 kbps, which is too slow.  I've found out that O2 has foreign calls at moderate prices, but I haven't yet checked for details. There are so many other options, making it is hard to compare them all without spending the whole weekend on it. So, if someone has found a better option than having 2 SIM cards and constantly switching them, this answer would be greatly appreciated. What are the best SEO practices when changing domain names? I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin on a WordPress site on a new, more memorable domain to replace an old static HTML site with no SEO. I've followed , set up 301 redirects from the old domain to the new one, and filed a change of address in the Google Search Console. However, after a few days, the old site still shows in search results, and is ranked higher than the new one if you google our company name.   And, if I try to set the preferred domain in the Google Search Console Site Settings for the new site, I see this in place of the options to prefer www/non-www/http/https:     Not all options are available because of a Change of Address request   related to this site.   I've read of some cases where this condition has lasted for .  Is there anything more I can do to fix this? Have I done something wrong, or do I just need to wait, and for how long?
