I want to be able to describe the love for, or obsession with, words. It may also be a condition from other's perspective. It maybe because he is a lunatic who wants to aggrandize his vocabulary, a crazy person who can't forget the words he hears wafting around, or someone who wants to set a world record or something. Try fitting it in these:  He is a _______ who can blurt a thousand synonyms for good. He is so ______ that he can be called a dictionary with a heartbeat. He is showing what a _____ he is. If thesaurus was a ghost, he would be dwelling in that _____'s body.  Any word or phrase would do.
What's a big-vocabulary word for someone with a big vocabulary?  I'd like to say I'm looking for a "_____".
In any finite graph with at least two vertices, there must be two vertices with the same degree Show that, in any finite graph with at least two vertices, there must be two vertices with the same degree.  HINTS ONLY! Why is the gravitational force always attractive? Regression in spacing before lstlisting environment with version 2018/09/02 after paragraph break I am looking at some code and it has this statement:    ~ConnectionManager() {     Dispose(false); }   The class implements the IDisposable interface, but I do not know if that is part of that the tilde(~) is used for. If a run the watch command containing an alias, it will not expand the alias. I have tried both with single quote and double quotes, in fact given the following alias:  # alias ll alias ll='ls -l --color=tty'   The following command will fail  # watch ll sh: ll: command not found   Shouldn't command line expansion work in this case? Is there a way to head/tail a document and get the reverse output; because you don't know how many lines there are in a document?  I.e. I just want to get everything but the first 2 lines of foo.txt to append to another document. I find that often after awakening from suspend on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 (I have only found this issue on the latest version, though I have not tried with GNOME 3.18 on 16.04) that I get this strange font issue which can't be fixed by restarting gnome-shell and seemingly only by restarting my entire machine:            I do not believe that this is a theme issue as I have tried all the built-in themes (including the dark and light versions) and it is the same for them all. Though it does not seem to affect gnome-shell areas, that is the top-bar, the Activities Overview, etc, are not affected for some reason. So what could this issue be caused by and how can I fix or workaround it?  Information Update:  I have had a look at  but the only options in the gnome-tweak-tool for Antialiasing are Rgba, None, and Grayscale, but none of them seem to have any affect on the issue. Is there something I'm missing? Should I file Form 1040 or Form 1040 NR? I am currently on H1 B (since October 1, 2017). Last year when on F1 OPT, I had filed Form 1040 NR for my taxes. Which form is advisable for 2017, considering I am on H1 B now. What options do I have? Prove that $f$ analytic, $f(x) \in \mathbb{R}$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$ implies $f(\overline{z})=\overline{f(z)}$ Let $U\subset \mathbb{C}$ be a nonempty connected open set such that for every $z\in U$, $\overline z\in U$.  Let $f$ be analytic on $U$. Suppose $f(x)\in\mathbb R$ for every $x\in U\cap\mathbb R$. Prove that $f(\overline{z})=\overline{f(z)}$ for any $z \in U$.    By definition, I know that $f$ analytic on $U$ means that for every $z_0 \in U$, there exists $r&gt;0$ and a sequence of complex numbers $\left(a_n\right)_{n=0}^\infty$ such that $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n\left(z-z_0\right)^n$ on the disc $D(z_0,r)\subseteq U$. I see that $f$ takes points without imaginary components to other points without imaginary components. But I don't see how this implies a symmetry that $f(\overline{z})=\overline{f(z)}$ for $z \in \mathbb C \setminus \mathbb R$. It seems like a very strong conclusion and I'm not sure how I would prove it.  I have also shown in the preceding question that $U\cap\mathbb R$ contains an open interval, however I am not sure if that detail is meant to be helpful to this question. Why does the weighing balance restore when tilted and released I'm talking about a Weighing Balance shown in the figure:    Press &amp; Hold on onside of the horizontal beam and then release it. It makes some oscillations and comes back to equilibrium like shown in the figure.  Both the pans are of equal equal masses. When the horizontal beam is tilted by an angle using external force, the torque due to these pan weights are equal in magnitude &amp; opposite in direction. Then why does it come back to it position? What's making it to come back? I just created a plane and added a wave modifier to it, to simply make it look like something fluid. Now, I have an Object that I want to place on the surface of this fluid plane. But how do I do that?  I thought of adding a driver to my Objects location, but I have no clue how to get the location of a certain vertex in runtime. Why are the two versions of Chromium and VLC available in Ubuntu software of different sizes? I made a map with annotations in QGIS 3.0.  This is how it looks like in the layout view:    If I print the map as PDF, one would expect to get the PDF to be WYSIWYG, right? However, it looks like this (it's about half the size):    Is there a way to influence the the scaling of the Annoations? I already tried to play with the Scale and Magnifier in the map view. I also tried to change the Scale in the map item.   The strange thing is, I believe it worked a few days ago. But today I installed QGIS 3.0 on a new PC and it showed the same behaviour... Granting access only to standby database One of the physical standby databases in my environment is open in read-only mode and used for reporting purposes . I want to give users access only to this particular standby, not to primary db.   The best approach I found so far is to create AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE trigger which checks v$instance (or maybe v$database), and throws error for depends on  values of host_name/instance_role columns  .   I wonder if there is a better way to do it. How many constructor arguments is too many? Let's say you have a class called Customer, which contains the following fields:   UserName Email First Name Last Name   Let's also say that according to your business logic, all Customer objects must have these four properties defined.  Now, we can do this pretty easily by forcing the constructor to specify each of these properties.  But it's pretty easy to see how this can spiral out of control when you are forced to add more required fields to the Customer object.    I've seen classes that take in 20+ arguments into their constructor and it's just a pain to use them.  But, alternatively, if you don't require these fields you run into the risk of having undefined information, or worse, object referencing errors if you rely on the calling code to specify these properties.  Are there any alternatives to this or do you you just have to decide whether X amount of constructor arguments is too many for you to live with? I use my DSLR (Nikon D500) for both photography and video, and I prefer autofocus for photography and manual focus for video (to get rid of autofocus noise).  There is an option for changing between the two on both the body and the lens, and obviously it is very annoying to have to keep flicking 2 switches to do the same thing all of the time.  Do you only have to change one of them, and would doing this cause any damage to the camera and/or the lens?  (I am aware that a similar question has already been asked before, however the answers said more what is "best practice" and not so much if there are any consequences to only changing one of them)  Thanks! In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry sneaks into The Three Broomsticks and overhears Madam Rosmerta, the Minister for Magic, and several Hogwarts teachers discuss his parents' death and the fact that the Potters were under the protection of the Fidelius Charm. Professor Flitwick explains the charm:     ‘An immensely complex spell,’ he said squeakily, ‘involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul. The information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret-Keeper, and is henceforth impossible to find – unless, of course, the Secret-Keeper chooses to divulge it. As long as the Secret-Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search the village where Lily and James were staying for years and never find them, not even if he had his nose pressed against their sitting-room window!’   Prisoner of Azkaban - pages 152-153 - Bloomsbury - chapter 10, The Marauders Map   In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, once Ron returns to Harry and Hermione after his and Harry's fight weeks earlier, he tells Harry and Hermione about the Taboo:     ‘NO!’ roared Ron, causing Harry to jump into the hedge and Hermione (nose buried in a book at the tent entrance) to scowl over at them. ‘Sorry,’ said Ron, wrenching Harry back out of the brambles, ‘but the name’s been jinxed, Harry, that’s how they track people! Using his name breaks protective enchantments, it causes some kind of magical disturbance – it’s how they found us in Tottenham Court Road!’   ‘Because we used his name?’   ‘Exactly! You’ve got to give them credit, it makes sense. It was only people who were serious about standing up to him, like Dumbledore, who ever dared use it. Now they’ve put a Taboo on it, anyone who says it is trackable – quick and easy way to find Order members! They nearly got Kingsley –’   Deathly Hallows - page 316 - Bloomsbury - chapter 20, Xenophilius Lovegood   So in hindsight the trio understands that it was the Taboo that caused the Death Eaters to find them at Tottenham Court Road, and then later, of course, they're caught by Snatchers because Harry says "Voldemort" out loud. However, the trio says "Voldemort" numerous times while they're staying at Grimmauld Place and Death Eaters appear and stake the place out (granted, it could be that the Death Eaters simply knew that Harry had inherited Grimmauld Place from Sirius after the Ministry examined Sirius's will). They cannot get inside the house, though. I'm completely unclear as to the status of Grimmauld Place and the Fidelius Charm -- the house was under the charm, but the Secret Keeper (Dumbledore) had died. Nevertheless, like eleventy-one people were privy to the secret by the time of Dumbledore's death, and I have never found a satisfactory answer (to me) to exactly how the Fidelius Charm works.   Would Voldemort's Taboo spell be able to trump the Fidelius Charm?  &#9733; I'm looking for a canon-based answer (Harry Potter novels, the three supplemental books, JKR interviews, and Pottermore) and do not prefer an answer from the HP Wikia or the Wikipedia. Does borrowing from my 401(k) make sense in my specific circumstance? I know the standard answer and understand that I will be losing out on that compound interest, but I am young and only need to borrow a few thousand. here are some more details:   Need to borrow $6500 to pay off a car and two student loans ($300/month in payments combined) I am 22 and work full time, making about $70K annually I contribute 8% of my income with a 4% company match I increase that by 2% every year The loan would be over 48 months ($140/month) I live very frugally and have almost no discretionary spending that can be cut (don't eat out all the time, no gym membership/ Netflix/ Apple music etc.) I'm cash-poor: 90% of my salary is going to mortgage, groceries, students loans, car payment, newborn baby medical expenses, and commute. These are not my only debts, just the ones I am seeking to pay off in the short term. I work two jobs, one full and one part time. I started a business, and my wife has two jobs. Working more is not a good answer to the original question.   It seems to me that I would be reducing middle to high interest debt while also saving myself $150 per month.   Loans:     Student loan 1: $1200 @ 5%   Student loan 2: $1100 @ 4.25%   Car Loan: $4000 @ 6% How to create a hole in a polygon in QGIS? I'm trying to use the tool "delete ring" in order to create a hole in a polygon. The geometry of the hole is another feature of the same shapefile   I cannot manage to delete the part of the polygone. Does someone have a tutorial or some explanation? "Think of" versus "think about" Could someone help me to understand when I should use think of and when think about in sentences?  What is the difference between using one or the other?
