I have a player (who is a Bard/Rogue) who wants to fire both weapons but while I'm not seeing any rules against it I'm consulting for additional opinions.  Is there anything to consider when doing this?
The Sharpshooter feat includes an interesting feature: you can choose to take -5 penalty to hit with a ranged weapon attack to increase its damage by 10. Normally, I'd dismiss the trade-off as too situational, but I've only just thought of combining it with the Archery fighting style (+2 to hit with ranged weapon attacks).  After building a sample character using these features, the end result looks quite effective. My questions are: Is this build valid? Have I interpreted the rules correctly? If so, how well does it compare against other damage-focused builds?  5th level variant Human Fighter:   Ability Scores (via point buy): Str 10, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 9, Wis 12, Cha 10 HP: 47, AC: 17 (or 18 with disadvantage on Stealth) Weapons: Hand Crossbow x 2 Fighting Style: Archery Martial Archetype: Battle Master (with the Precision Attack maneuver) Feat (variant Human): Crossbow Expert Feat (4th level ability score improvement): Sharpshooter   The end result is a fighter capable of hitting targets 120' away, behind 1/2 or 3/4 cover, or engaged in melee with him, all without penalty. Normally, he can make 3 such attacks per round (Attack action + Extra Attack + Crossbow Expert's bonus attack). Once per short rest he can make 5 attacks per round via Action Surge (Attack action 1 + Extra Attack, Attack action 2 + Extra Attack, Crossbow Expert's bonus attack).  His normal attack bonus is +8 (3 proficiency, 3 Dexterity, 2 Archery fighting style), and normal damage is 1d6+3. Not amazing damage, but nice accuracy and flexibility (attacks can be focused on one target, or spread around; works equally well in melee and ranged combat).  The real winner is his ability to take -5 on any of these attack rolls to increase the damage by 10, to an average of 16.5 per shot (excluding crits). If he lands his usual 3 attacks, that's ~47 damage; 5 attacks is ~83. While the -5 to hit seems imposing, he's still got superiority dice: he can increase his attack roll by 1d8 after seeing the result, up to 4 times per short rest. And even without the superiority dice, his attack bonus is still an acceptable +3; ok for hitting low AC targets, or those granting advantage on attack rolls (e.g. surprised or prone + adjacent).  With a decent AC, a Fighter's HP, and the Second Wind feature, he can also take a decent amount of damage. He'll also have decent Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws.  This build seems almost too well rounded. Unlike a blaster, he only requires short rests to recover his big hitters. Unlike a brawler, he can target just about anything on the field at a moment's notice. Have I missed any rules, or overlooked any drawbacks?

The following high resolution picture from ESA's Rosetta mission shows the dunes:       At a distance of 7.8 km from the surface, the image scale is about   66.5 cm/pixel, so each 1024 x 1024 pixel frame is about 680 m across (although if we assume the furthest point away is an additional ~1 km   further from the centre, the image scale is about 92 cm/pixel).   So the scale of the dunes is on the order of tens of meters along the crest. And each crest are probably just a few meters apart.

I was wondering if it's possible to run an Ubuntu virtual machine using VirtualBox in background, I mean, without any window open.

To show that $Rad(I)$ is an ideal of $I$, we have to show that for $a,b \in Rad(I)$ it stands that $a-b \in Rad(I)$ and for $r\in R$ it stands that $a\cdot r\in Rad(I)$, right??   When $a,b \in Rad(I)$ we have that $a,b \in R$ and $a^n, b^m \in I$.   $a-b \in R$.   But how can we show that $(a-b)^x \in I, x \in \mathbb{N}$ ?? how can i show site logo, name and slogan Separately in custom area in my site theme, I now use this code to display theme, buts this code don't allow me to edit each of them Separately.  {{ page.header }} Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 with Ubuntu 18.10 I can't enable the Wifi (nothing happens when press enable button) and in Wifi settings it says:     "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found"   I have tried several things from other questions/answers here but nothing worked.
