I used the term "poor man's ____" to talk about a less expensive but less useful alternative. One of my colleagues called me out that some people might find it offensive. Is there another term I could use instead?
I'm looking for a more politically correct substitute for the expression "poor man's", meaning an inferior improvised or makeshift substitute. Usage examples:   "Guncotton is the poor man's TNT" "Poor man's oyster" (mussels, or coughed up phlegm)    My hesitance is mainly because it is not as gender neutral as perhaps it once was. The closest I can think of is "pauper's", but I don't know many examples of usage.
I guess I'm asking for comments, with subsequent notifications, to be added to queries in SEDE, so we can point out [fixes]  to flawed queries, especially when [the query]  has a comment in it explaining the problem. It'd be nice to see reputation updates in the app, as we get on both the desktop and mobile sites.  Mock-up of how this would look:        Other possible icon states:        While I understand reputation is shown in the feed, it's a bit unwieldy, and has no notification.   With this feature implemented, the feed could arguably lose both reputation and inbox items, and be left with the interesting questions that fill it up. This would make for a much more consistent UX across app and desktop. How do I find the package that provides a file? HA configuration for KVM machines installed on shared iSCSI storage My requirement is to provide HA to a Zimbra Server. We want Zimbra files to be installed in a Netapp SAN which is providing around 5.7 TB as a SAN iSCI Drive. Since Netapp comes in with Dual Controller and stable performance, we are unlikely to have any down time.  I have 2 servers each having Xeon processor 6 Core, 32 GB RAM and 2 x 250 GB SSD. These are the two servers where I have installed CentOS 7.6. We would like to have one as primary and the second one as secondary.   Idea is to use the same principle of KVM HA ( What Redhat and even VMware) provides, so that if the primay goes down the IP gets switched to secondary, to create a simple Hot Redudant system.  We have a very few users on Zimbra, but there are a lot of automated emails coming in and we require a very large storage, and hence we are using the Netapp box.  I am able to switch between the KVMs. However I am struggling to figure out how I need to mount the iSCI target, so that the mail application stays alive.  Zimbra typically installs on /opt/. Do I mount the target on /opt/, and if so will it work? Or am I missing something else?  Or should I run the VM of the shared storage itself, and if so how can I configure it.   Zimbra itself is a combination of a database and files, and uses a number of services to keep itself active. Idea of using a shared storage is for Redundancy and high availability.  Appreciate your response and support. Remotely uninstall apps? I have tried through the Google Play store and it does not seem possible from there, but does anyone know if it is possible to remove an application remotely?   In other words, if I do not have direct access to my phone, can I make use of some website, app or service to uninstall an app without being able to interact with the phone directly. When and why did Harry Potter fall in love with Ginny Weasley? In the earlier HP books it's pretty clear that Harry and Ginny get on quite well as friends (and that she's rather smitten with him) but I'm struggling to identify when and why Harry started to like Ginny in a romantic fashion..  I feel like it is simply presumed that Harry suddenly likes Ginny Weasley back, but do the books actually describe when and why he started to like her that way?  No speculation, please. Canon answers only. Wrong Sentence:     Never before in the history of the world such a thing has happened, I don't think that will ever happen again.   Right sentence:     Never Before in the history of the world has such a thing happened, I don't think that will ever happen again.   Why “has such a thing happened” is the right form, and why can't I use such a thing has happened? Permission denied, are you root?

In my iPhone settings where I'm supposed to turn Wi-Fi on or off, it is just grey &amp; says 'No Wi-Fi'.  I have reset network settings, restored phone, re-synced everything, but still have this problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? When and why should I use % !TEX TS-program and % !TEX encoding? Is there a way to access Windows file with administrative rights using WSL?  sudo vi /mnt/c/Users/a/admin/file.txt I was trying to solve internet problems, and seem to have made things worse: Now when I start the computer it gets stuck on "Booting system without full network configuration".   Does anyone know how to make it unstuck?   Alternatively: It got messed up when I changed the contents of /etc/network/interfaces, so presumably would work again if I changed it back. How can I edit this file during boot?   I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. lib32bz2-1.0 missing on 16.04 I have tried installing this package (needed for android studio).  This is the error i'm getting  E: Unable to locate package lib32bz2-1.0 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'lib32bz2-1.0' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lib32bz2-1.0'   I have already tried:  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lib32bz2-1.0   &amp;  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lib32bz2-1.0:i386   I also searched on  and did not find lib32bz2-1.0 for Ubuntu 16.04. So how do i get this package which is available for trusty and precise? Can't install wine on Ubuntu 14.04 I cannot install Wine on Ubuntu 14.04.  When I try to install it on the Ubuntu Software Center I always get a message that says I have unmet dependencies. I tried installing Wine through the terminal and I get this:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Examples:        Why, I'd love to.   Why, of course!      I get the concept of starting a sentence with a word not completely related to the overall response, but this one seems to be a particularly odd choice&nbsp;— is there any semantic meaning I'm missing? What desktop environments can group window icons in the taskbar like Windows 7? I find it much faster to identify a window in the taskbar (window list) by its icon,    rather than by its text:    The problem with most graphical interfaces I've  is that they don't group windows, and if you have more terminals or file managers, they'll just clutter the taskbar and you won't know which is which. Windows 7 offers a relatively elegant solution to this by grouping similar window icons together.  Question: What Linux  have this functionality? If addons exist that provide it, that's alright.  For reference, a Cinnamon applet that sort of does this is . Are \( and \) preferable to dollar signs for math mode? Along the lines of , what reasons are there (if any) to favor \( ... \) over $ ... $? Prove that any conjugate of $a$ has the same order as $a$. I am trying to prove that any conjugate of $a$ has the same order as $a$.  Let $G$ be a group and let $a \in G$.  An element $b \in G$ is called a conjugate of $a$ if $b=xax^{-1}$.  My professor gave us a hint.  Prove $a^k=e$ iff $b^k=e$ for all $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ implies $o(a) = o(b)$.  My first move is to $b^k = (xax^{-1})^k = (x^{-1})^ka^kx^k = (x^{-1})^kex^k = (x^{-1})^kx^k=x^{-k+k}=x^0$  I am not sure that I am doing this correctly?  I am trying to get $b^k=e$.  However when I raise $(xax^{-1})^k$, I am not sure if I what I have done is correct?  I am kind of confused here. .NET - What's the best way to implement a "catch all exceptions handler" I'm wondering what the best way is to have a "if all else fails catch it".  I mean, you're handling as much exceptions as possible in your application, but still there are bound to be bugs, so I need to have something that catches all unhandled exceptions so I can collect information and store them in a database or submit them to a web service.  Does the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException event capture everything? Even if the application is multithreaded?  Side note: Windows Vista exposes native API functions that allow any application to recover itself after a crash... can't think of the name now... but I'd rather not use it, as many of our users are still using Windows XP.
