Tomorrow morning I want to try a soft-boiled ostrich egg in my sous-vide cooker at a temperature of 65°C. Does somebody know how long the egg has to stay in the sous-vide cooker? I've found an online calculator which says 1h40min. Do you think that's enough time? I'am a little bit skeptical. :D
Is there some guide I can use for cooking soft boiled ostrich eggs?
There used to be a place where you could buy Stack Exchange branded gear, what happened to it? I'm having some troubles understanding the solution (going from step $2$ to step $3$) of this linear congruence equation. Here's the problem with the solution:   Solve the congruence $2x + 11 \equiv 7 \pmod 3$.   First, we reduce all the coefficients $\pmod 3$:  $$2x + 2 \equiv 1 \pmod 3. \tag{1}$$  Next, we add $1$ to both sides, using the fact that $2 + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod 3$:  $$2x \equiv 2 \pmod 3. \tag{2}$$  Finally, we multiply both sides by $2$, using the fact that $2 · 2 = 4 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$:  $$x \equiv 1 \pmod 3. \tag{3}$$  That is, any number in the set $\{\ldots, −5, −2, 1, 4, \ldots\}$ will solve the original congruence.    Like I said my problem is the step between $(2)$ and $(3)$. If I multiply both sides of $(2)$ by $2$ I get:  $$4x \equiv 4 \pmod 3.$$  Now, I understand that $4$ is congruent to $1 \pmod 3$ so the RHS "simplifies" to $1 \pmod 3$ but I don't understand why the LHS "simplifies" to $x$. Can someone help me with this?

How can wifi penetrate through walls when visible light can't? I did search the question on Physics S.E considering it would be previously asked. I found this  But in this question , the answers are w.r.t to or in comparison with microwaves , their absorption and certain other things. I didn't find a sort of general answer that could be the answer to the question. So the question is - wifi or radio waves  reach us through concrete walls . They also reach us through the ceiling (if some one is using it in the flat above ours ). Even through the air they travel such a lot , bending around corners or doors . Now I would not compare them to microwaves (because I don't want the answer in terms of properties of the material but physics). Visible light which is so much powerful than them can't penetrate black opaque paper leave alone the walls. Same is true for gamma rays (penetration through a very thick wall). So why then radio waves being so very less powerful than light  waves are able to travel through walls? There should be a general concept as to why the radio waves are able to pass through walls but microwaves or light waves cannot ! A linked question is also that sound travels much faster in solids(walls) but is not audible in it though it is in air. After reading @BillN's answer, it would be really helpful if any one could explain it in terms molecular resonance or crystalline structure or electrical conductivity or how does molecular resonance or crystalline structure or electrical conductivity cause this.

When proving $\bar x$ and $S^2$ are independent in my noted it says that "functions of independent quantities are independent ". Can someone tell me how functions of independent quantities are independent happen?  Also let $X_1,X_2,X_3,\dots,X_n$ be a random sample.And suppose we want to estimate parameter $\theta$ using $T(x)$ as an estimator. In this I have a expression as $E\{ [  T(X)-E(T(X))][E(T(x)-\theta)]\}$.  I want to know if I can say that in $[T(X)-E(T(X))]$ since $E(T(X)$ (expected value is a one particular fixed value) and $T(X)$ are independent of one another. Also the expression $[E(T(x)-\theta)]$ is independent of $X$.  Hence the two expressions $[T(X)-E(T(X))]$ and $[E(T(x)-\theta)]$  are independent of one another. So that I can use if $a,b$ are independent $E(ab)=E(a)E(b)$ form Why my U.S. B1 Visa got refused under 214 (b)? I went for B1 U.S. Visa at the U.S. Embassy in Delhi.   Interviewer: *Good Morning*. Me: *Good Morning* Interviewer: *What is your designation?* Me: *I am a Software Engineer.* Interviewer: *What is the name of your company?* Me: *It is XXX (I replied).* Interviewer: *What is the name of your client?* Me: *It is YYY (I replied).* Interviewer: *Have you ever been to U.S. before?* Me: *NO* Interviewer: *Have you ever been abroad before?* Me: *NO*   At this point he rejected my Visa with letter mentioning 214 (b) as the reason. I don't know why he actually rejected it.  But, I have decent 2+ years of experience with my company. And, I was going on a business meeting with the client. I would have come back after 2 weeks.  I don't know if re applying will help. Menu select item stuck on screen after context or command menu has closed Periodically when I select a menu command, the label or selected option gets "stuck" on screen and won't go away. I can close all open applications, including whichever one I was using when it got stuck, but it still won't go away.   In the screenshot below, I opened an new instance of IE just to show how the label stays on top. The label was not created by this instance of IE.    (I added the circle in MS Paint. That part isn't stuck.)  The label that gets stuck is the first menu command I select in IE. If a label is already stuck, a new one does not get stuck (regardless of which instance(s) of IE are involved). Based on this knowledge, I now just open IE on my secondary monitor, carefully open the context menu so the Properties command is in the bottom corner, and click it. This is not a solution.  The floating label never moves and is transparent to mouse input (if I click it, it's as if I clicked the item behind it).  The label does not go away if I close all running applications. I haven't tried stopping services or closing system tray items like Live Mesh.  The label does go away if I change the screen resolution and then change it back.  Any ideas how I can stop this from happening? It's happened a half dozen times and it's becoming quite disrupting to my work.

What I'm wondering is, at a core level, what does bit-shifting (&lt;&lt;, &gt;&gt;, &gt;&gt;&gt;) do, what problems can it help solve, and what gotchas lurk around the bend?

On Stack Overflow it looks like this: (that's the original color, same as in old top bar)        And on this very Meta site:        Same top bar. But different colors! Consistency broken.  I've just noticed the suggested edits count on Meta:        Black on black, I can see just a floating number - really confusing and out of any context.  In the name of Consistency, can we please have the same color on all sites? How do I remotely control another Ubuntu desktop from Ubuntu?

Alternative definition of hyperbolic cosine without relying on exponential function Ordinary trigonometric functions are defined independently of exponential function, and then shown to be related to it by Euler's formula.

I want to attach two screens, mouse and keyboard and ethernet to the MacBook Pro while using the fewest number of USB-C ports possible.  So what I need is an adaptor with:   two DP or HDMI ports (or one DP port with daisy chaining support) two or more USB ports an ethernet port   Best case would be a hub to which all devices are connected with a single connection to the MacBook Pro, including power supply. Worst case if attaching the MacBook Pro to the devices would require me to use all four of USB-C ports.  Given the answers up to far, I can tell that:   Daisy chaining might or might not work with the MacBook Pro (since it requires DP1.2 which is supported by the graphics chipset, but it's uncertain if it's supported by the MacBook Pro itself) I can attach the monitors with two cables as a last resort, leaving me with two ports for the remaining peripherals.   What I still don't know:   Would daisy chaining work with a hub or does it require the first monitor to be directly attached to the MacBook Pro? Does some kind of hub exist supporting attachment of all listed devices with a single upstream connection to the MacBook Pro?
