I'm well aware that bacteria can grow on food left out overnight and should probably be thrown out afterwards. But, what about in instance of soups or stews, where the soup/stew goes directly from the cooked pot to a CLOSED pyrex container.  I would think since the food is starting off quite hot and immediately put in a air-tight container it is semi-akin to the canning process.  So all in all is there any scientific evidence that would allow me to believe that the way this food was "left out" is safe or nearly safe?
If I left food out of the refrigerator for some period of time, is it still safe? If I left it out too long, can I salvage it by cooking it more?
It would seem that one way of proving this would be to show the existence of non-algebraic numbers. Is there a simpler way to show this? How do I use a small font size in questions and answers? Is there any way to use a small font size in questions or answers? That is, for the purpose of minor and possibly irrelevant information?  I've checked the Markdown syntax but couldn't find anything. However I feel I've seen it on the site somewhere... How do I change the plymouth bootscreen? With regards to Plymouth --  Are there alternative boot screens available?

I tried to use:  \setbeamercolor{section in head/foot}{fg=white, bg=blue}   or  \setbeamercolor{palette tertiary}{fg=white, bg=blue}   But for an unknown reason, the bg works but not the fg... The sections names stay black in the header.    EDIT : the problem comes from the hyperref package.

We have our main BU (business unit) at the top of the tree, and one of the other BUs is TEST. In TEST we have created an Installed Package and in that installed package we have added a Server-to-Server API Integration. In the Access tab of that API Integration we've disabled the integration for the Parent BU, and have enabled it for the TEST BU.  When we make Rest API calls to the endpoint created in that API Integration we always get data from the "Main" BU, and not from the TEST BU.  If I create a contact that is available in both the Parent and TEST BU, but if I try to trigger an email based on a Triggered Send definition only the definitions created in the Parent BU are available and not the definitions from the TEST BU.  How can I access the data in the TEST BU from the Rest API? And why aren't the permissions preventing me from taking actions on the Parent BU? Annoying Viber notification Finder: keep sort-by per-directory Some directories make sense to be sorted by date modified, while others make more sense to be kept sorted alphabetically.   How can I make it so that finder will apply a specified sort by selection on a per-directory basis?   If no such feature exists (In which case I hope somebody at APPL is paying attention), I suppose using/remapping the keyboard shortcuts (Defaults being Cmd+Ctrl+5 for Modified and Cmd+Ctrl+1 for Alphabetical by Name) is the next best thing. Show that if the Riesz map is surjective on $H$, then $H$ is a Hilbert space Let $H$ be a vector space equipped with an inner product $(\cdot, \cdot)$ and $f:H\to H',\ f(x)=(\cdot,x)$ surjective. Now, why $H$  is a Hilbert space? The other direction is clear by Riesz' representation theorem but what about this? Reduce minimum in call volume I find that the minimum in-call volume on my HTC Desire is still far to loud on some calls.  Since I got the phone, I have flashed several different custom ROMs, radio updates, etc, and have had the issue throughout.  Do you know of any way (setting, hack, app, whatever) to reduce the minimum volume?  My device is rooted and I am currently running one of the CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) nightly builds. My mom has an android tablet and she doesn't even know what a site is, her e-mail, or even the password of her facebook account. She's an average user. The internet is facebook in her eyes. She has no need for apps or anything, it's just, only, precisely facebook. All is facebook.  How can I completely disable installing apps in android so they can't be installed in any way or form, I mean, not by URL, not by clicking, not by app store, not even by another program. Just disable the entire thing altogether.  Doesn't need to be safe, have locks, passwords etc. I'm not trying to secure the device from intruders, attackers or robbers, I'm trying to secure it from its very own user.  Please help. I just had to remove two anti-virus apps that were opening adware pages when she tried to open facebook lite, and that's obviously a no-go, apps which she "had not installed." Clearly there's some voodoo going on here for them to just popup, or maybe she just did it unknowingly, but none of that's relevant. How can you just disable installs so this couldn't ever happen again? As part of an early quest, my PCs are likely to face off against a wizard.  The problem here is that the stat block for Mage NPCs listed in the Basic Rules has a Challenge Rating of 6, while the PCs are going to be five Level 1s. So, instead of messing with the stat block and risk weakening it too much/too little, I'm choosing to create a Level 1 Wizard PC and use it as an NPC for this quest.  The problem with that is that, as far as I can tell, there aren't any designated rules for assigning either Challenge Ratings or XP values to a PC. So, should I just give the wizard a Challenge Rating equal to his level (and thus have him give 200 xp when killed), or is there a better way to do this?  (This is different from , because he's asking for a way to assign a level to an NPC, while I'm asking for a way to assign an XP value/Challenge Rating to a PC (for use as an NPC). Similar questions, but different.) An improved \rowstyle that takes the cell contents as an argument It is possible to format the column entries of a tabular in an argument-style fashion using the lrbox environment to   store the column cell in a box (say) \mybox; and supply \mybox as an argument to some other macro.   Here is a short example illustrating this fact*:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{array}% http://ctan.org/pkg/array \begin{document} \newsavebox{\mybox} \begin{tabular}{c&gt;{\begin{lrbox}{\mybox}}c&lt;{\end{lrbox}\fbox{\usebox{\mybox}}}c}   One &amp; Two &amp; Three \\ \hline   1 &amp; 2 &amp; 3 \\   4 &amp; 5 &amp; 6 \\   7 &amp; 8 &amp; 9 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}     The above example uses the  to achieve this column-specific formatting. More specifically, each cell in the column is supplied as an argument to \fbox. Does there exist an equivalent automation that would yield    \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{ccc}   One &amp; Two &amp; Three \\ \hline   1 &amp; 2 &amp; 3 \\   \fbox{4} &amp; \fbox{5} &amp; \fbox{6} \\   7 &amp; 8 &amp; 9 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}   without having to specify \fbox for each entry in the row?  As a start, I know that the  provides \rowfont[&lt;alignment&gt;]{&lt;font specification&gt;}. However, this only applies macros &lt;font specification&gt; to each cell in a row and these macros can't take the cell contents as an argument. Moreover, you need to use the tabu environment in order to use this. So that's a little restricting. Also, trying to decipher the  macros for colouring a tabular or array row is just confusing.  The UK TeX FAQ entry on  modifies the row entries via column specifications and therefore requires the addition of "subtle" identifiers like  \begin{tabular}{|$l|^l|^l|}   to initiate $ and propagate ^ whatever row style is defined. Is there a way around this or at least a cleaner alternative that doesn't use columns to format entries in a row? In particular, a solution should provide an lrbox-style flexibility, since the contents of the cell in the to-be-styled row could be anything, even a paragraph (say).  * There are other alternatives, as indicated by the post . Prove by mathematical induction that $n^3 - n$ is divisible by $3$ for all natural number $n$ I think everybody with a history of participation can't help but notice the explosive growth of repeated duplicate questions. The work of looking for duplicates and then closing questions has overtaken the work of actually answering questions.  It's become virtually impossible to ask something which hasn't been yet asked. Lately I feel boredom each time I see a new question and start answering it only to realize after the first written sentence that I have answered similar questions five times over or seen them answered some ten times or more. I know where it's going to be going and what answers with what votes it is going to receive before any answer is even written.  It's obviously not the administration's fault, it is simply so. The questions is, what to do about it? Engaging more moderators to close and close duplicates won't work because it's already starting to repel users who get mad at their questions closed and become afraid of asking more or perhaps just go away.  The original idea of Jeff stated the the site is for questions that can be answered. Meaning no open-ended discussions. When I first read this I had a casual thought - well, and what's gonna happen when they all are asked and answered? Will it become a museum, a monument of wisdom and knowledge or what?  I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps deprecation/versioning of older questions so that their new versions can sparkle the tiresome evening...  POSTSCRIPTUM.  I recall Star Trek Voyager episode  when another Q asked Captain Janeway for asylum. He was tired of immortality and wanted to die. They opened a hearing and went on to visit the continuum to evaluate the living conditions there which caused the suffering and the wish to escape it in death. A lifeless picture presented itself to the visitors... a house lone in an open space, two people going about their business, nobody talking. When asked why they were silent, the following was said. It's been so long, all has already been said, all stories told, all jokes are made... there is nothing left to do...  Are we there as well?  UPDATE: Just saw this answer in another question:       Also, some of the core questions got asked early on in the life of the site. Great questions still come around from time to time, but many have already been asked.   Doesn't that confirm my point? Where do the electrons come from when an electric generator is making electricity?  Is from the air?  Would a generator work in a vacuum?  Electrons have mass so where would they be pulled from if there is nothing? When you have a link from lets say twitter that is t.co/foo that links back to your website how does that effect SEO and how do the major search engines handle Shortened URLs? Which homology groups of a closed orientable 6-manifold can be isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^3$? List all $i$ for which there is a closed orientable $6$-manifold $M$ with $H_i(M) =\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}$.   I am working on an old exam problem and this one stumped me. Progress so far:  I can take $Y=\mathbb{T}^3 \times \mathbb{S}^3$ and get the desired group for $i =1,5,2,4$ I think. But this construction I believe gives $H_3(Y)=\mathbb{Z}^2$. What to do in this case? Comparing object properties in c# This is what I've come up with as a method on a class inherited by many of my other classes. The idea is that it allows the simple comparison between properties of Objects of the same Type.  Now, this does work - but in the interest of improving the quality of my code I thought I'd throw it out for scrutiny. How can it be better/more efficient/etc.?  /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Compare property values (as strings) /// &lt;/summary&gt; /// &lt;param name="obj"&gt;&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;returns&gt;&lt;/returns&gt; public bool PropertiesEqual(object comparisonObject) {      Type sourceType = this.GetType();     Type destinationType = comparisonObject.GetType();      if (sourceType == destinationType)     {         PropertyInfo[] sourceProperties = sourceType.GetProperties();         foreach (PropertyInfo pi in sourceProperties)         {             if ((sourceType.GetProperty(pi.Name).GetValue(this, null) == null &amp;&amp; destinationType.GetProperty(pi.Name).GetValue(comparisonObject, null) == null))             {                 // if both are null, don't try to compare  (throws exception)             }             else if (!(sourceType.GetProperty(pi.Name).GetValue(this, null).ToString() == destinationType.GetProperty(pi.Name).GetValue(comparisonObject, null).ToString()))             {                 // only need one property to be different to fail Equals.                 return false;             }         }     }     else     {         throw new ArgumentException("Comparison object must be of the same type.","comparisonObject");     }      return true; }
