This question relates to my previous question:   I would like to describe the general attitude of a particular witness, in my closing argument.  This will help me comment on her reliability as a witness.  She was very negative about everything, and came across as being in a snit about everything.  I need a word for this idea of being in a snit.  She was opposed to everything.  She got herself tied into contradictory knots because she was opposed to so many things.  The word could be an adjective describing her constant oppositional state.  Or it could be a word to mean the oppositional state itself.  It should show that it comes from a desire to show that everything the parent speaks, acts, dreams, or breathes is wrong.  That was her guiding principle.  But it was an emotional (visceral) thing for her.  She's too stupid to be analytical.  Oppositional doesn't work because two-year-olds are oppositional.  They say "no" to everything.  This person had a negative attitude only regarding whatever she thought the parents were saying or trying to accomplish.  The closest I've gotten so far is that she was pathologically anti-parent.  But I can't say "pathologically" in the closing argument.  I need a less offensive sounding word.  (Being in this perpetual snit affected her memory and her judgment.  She ended up speaking total nonsense.)

"This question is not available, it may have been deleted" when submitting a question on the Android app after losing internet connection If a group satisfies $x^3=1$ for all $x$, is it necessarily abelian? I know that any group satisfying $x^2=1$ for all $x$ is abelian. Is the same true if $x^3=1$? I don't think it is, but I can't find a basic counterexample. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for dummies Could you provide a step-by-step for dummies explanation of how Hamiltonian Monte Carlo work?  PS: I've already read the answers here, , and here, , and here,  and they do not address it in a step-by-step way. Should I use an offset for my Poisson GLM? I am carrying out research to look at differences in fish density and fish species richness when using two different underwater visual census methods. My data was originally count data but then typically this is changed to fish density but I have still decided to use a Poisson GLM, which I hope is right.   model1 &lt;- glm(g_den ~ method + site + depth, poisson)   My 3 predictor variables are method, site and depth which I ordered as factors when I input them.   My response variables are grouper species richness, grouper density and the same for other fish groups. I am aware that density is not an integer and it is numerical data e.g 1.34849. I am now however getting this error:      In dpois(y, mu, log = TRUE) : non-integer x = 0.037500   I've been reading up and many people suggest using an offset, is this the most advisable thing to do? Image uploads not working on Chrome When I try to upload an image, I'm presented with the following dialog box,    The dialog box does not allow uploading either from my computer or by posting a link.  This happens only on Chrome browser (running on Windows). Clearing cache and cookies, and restarting computer do not resolve.  Is this just my computer? Or is this a site-wide bug?  Additional info:  Clicking on 'click' to upload does nothing. Dragging an image onto dialog redirects me to the file location on my computer. Clicking 'Add picture' redirects me to http://[SE-domain].com/upload/image?https=true.  UPDATE: A Norton extension for Chrome was the source of the problem. Creating lots of random cuts on a surface Here's an image of a cube with lots of edges added. It was created using knife tool and lots of clicking:    What would be the best way to randomly generate such cuts with less effort...?

Right at the beginning of the game, Meowth comes into your room and attempts to wake you up. At this point, I assume I have to press some button to get out of bed, but the D-Pad or A button doesn't do anything, nor any of the other buttons. How do I get out of bed to start the game? What’s the best way to reload / refresh an iframe? I would like to reload an &lt;iframe&gt; using JavaScript. The best way I found until now was set the iframe’s src attribute to itself, but this isn’t very clean. Any ideas? Alternate moves, first one to roll a 6 wins: what's the probability of winning? Question: Players A and B play a sequence of independent games. Player A starts and throws a fair die and wins on a "six". If she fails then player B throws the same die and wins on a "six" or fails otherwise. If she fails then player A gets the die and throws again, and so on. The first player to throw a "six" wins. Find the probability that player A wins.  Here is what I have done:  A wins right away: $\dfrac{1}{6}$  A fails B wins: $\dfrac{5}{6}\times \dfrac{1}{6}$  A fails B fails A wins: $\dfrac{5}{6}\times \dfrac{5}{6}\times \dfrac{1}{6}$  Unlike another similar question which the player B can win on "five" and "six" after player A fails on the first throw, in this case, the games do not seem to have an endpoint. How should I calculate the probability that player A wins then? Difference between "irascible", "fractious", "irritable" and "atrabilious"? It seems that they can all mean "easily provoked to anger"  irascible：Easily provoked to outbursts of anger; irritable.  fractious：Irritable; argumentative; quarrelsome.  irritable：1.Capable of being irritated. 2.Easily exasperated or excited.  atrabilious：1.Characterized by melancholy. 2.ill-natured; malevolent. I am trying to change the page size in the QGIS 3.0 Composer but I am not able to see the Composition tab.  I have right clicked an empty space in the toolbar but did not see anything about composition.  I am using Windows 7.  I tried looking at the QGIS docs but they are still in testing. Code Igniter POST Variable I'm using Terminator version 0.97. Is there a way that I can scroll unlimited? In the current version I only can scroll back limited history I installed an alpha or beta, am I up to date with the final release if I keep upgrading? Accidentally turned on talkback I accidentally turned on talkback in the Accessibility menu. When I turned it on I got some kind of walk through on how to use it. I couldn't cancel it. So I turned off my phone.   When I turned it back on again it took me 15 minutes to unlock my phone. Apparently I had to touch a button to give it focus and then double tap it to click it.   Now my question is: how do I turn this off? I can't reach the settings because I have don't know how to access a drop down and I can't scroll through all my apps. I use dd in its simplest form to clone a hard drive:  dd if=INPUT of=OUTPUT   However, I read in the manpage that dd knows a blocksize parameter. Is there an optimal value for the blocksize parameter that will speed up the cloning procedure? Are Living Beings Turned Into Horcruxes Suceptible to Age, Disease, or Injury? From the HP books I know that Horcruxes grant a form of immortality. So, it is not possible for someone who created a Horcrux to die from old age or succumb to diseases. I guess the same is true for living beings turned into a Horcrux. But do living Horcruxes age normally? Is it possible to cripple them or sever their limbs, head or something like that, or do they instantly "repair" themselves like inanimate Horcruxes? git-upload-pack: command not found, when cloning remote Git repo I have been using git to keep two copies of my project in sync, one is my local box, the other the test server. This is an issue which occurs when I log onto our remote development server using ssh;  git clone me@me.mydevbox.com:/home/chris/myproject Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/myproject/.git/ Password: bash: git-upload-pack: command not found fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fetch-pack from 'me@me.mydevbox.com:/home/chris/myproject' failed.   (the file-names have been changed to protect the guilty... !)   Both boxes run Solaris 10 AMD. I have done some digging,  if I add --upload-pack=$(which git-upload-pack) the command works, (and proves that $PATH contains the path to 'git-upload-pack' as per the RTFM solution)  but this is really annoying, plus 'git push' doesn't work, because I don't think there is a --unpack= option.    Incidentally, all the git commands work fine from my local box, it is the same version of the software (1.5.4.2), installed on the same NFS mount at /usr/local/bin.    Can anybody help?
