How would you write the possessive with yourself and another person?  For example:     Would you like to join Bob's and my group?
I want to talk to someone about the house that my wife and I own.  Saying, for example, "My wife's and my house is awesome," sounds a bit funny to me.  What's the best way to express this?  Clarification  I'm asking specifically about the grammar of multiple nouns in possessive form.  I'm particularly curious if it's possible to do this with a first-person pronoun (me).  I am capable of rephrasing this in other ways - my question is not how to express the idea, but about this particular grammatical construction, if it is even legal.
Can I convert flat bar to drop bars on a hybrid bike Does decrease in temperature affect mass $E=mc^2$? My understanding of Quantum physics and String Theory is very basic and I don't yet have a grasp on the maths, but in my research I have come up with a question.  Does a decrease in temperature also signify/create a decrease in mass?  I am quite willing to believe the concepts I think I am beginning to understand are totally misconceptions on my part.  But, as I see it mass is a product/mark of disruption to the Higgs field as a particle moves.  If these particles are ultimately composed of vibrating Strings, their mass is given by the rate at which they vibrate and how it interacts with the Higgs field.  I don't have any idea if, as the temperature (as we know it) approaches 0k, the string/quark/sparticle would change its state in any way or if the changing of the state of the String would change what type of particle it represents.  It seems I'm more full of questions than answers, but that's why I love these topics!  I know what I'm learning is new if the best and brightest are still working on the 'basics' to just make their systems work :). To estimate the time for brute-force attack we need to compute keyspace size divided by hash rate, where the hash rate (hash/second) varies depending on the computer's capabilities.  The website  shows the hash rate for different computers.  Can you explain the following two confusing phenomena?   The hash rate decreases as the message size increases. Core i3 has a higher hash rate than Core i7 for SHAKE128. How do you use script variables in psql? In MS SQL Server, I create my scripts to use customizable variables:  DECLARE @somevariable int   SELECT @somevariable = -1  INSERT INTO foo VALUES ( @somevariable )   I'll then change the value of @somevariable at runtime, depending on the value that I want in the particular situation. Since it's at the top of the script it's easy to see and remember.  How do I do the same with the PostgreSQL client psql? For a lot of questions here on TeX.SE and on other fora regarding MiKTeX, it turns out that the underlying problem actually lies in the not understood distinction between administrative and user modes. So let me ask these questions:  What’s the difference between administrative and user mode in MiKTeX, and in which situation should I use either one of these modes? Using Model to equally distribute points, spatially within known geometry using ArcGIS ModelBuilder? Is it possible to create a model in ArcGIS ModelBuilder where you simply state number of points and an area in the form of a polygon to get the model to try and equally space out the points based on the geometry of the polygon and number of points? How do you make div elements display inline? Encode URL in JavaScript? How do you safely encode a URL using JavaScript such that it can be put into a GET string?  var myUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?param=1&amp;anotherParam=2"; var myOtherUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?url=" + myUrl;   I assume that you need to encode the myUrl variable on that second line? Links in newsletter preview link to YouTube The problem: The links at the bottom of the Stack&nbsp;Exchange newsletter link to a YouTube video instead of the right place on the website. I´m not sure if this is an oversight or a clever hack.  Screenshot: Removing all \n\r characters from a node XSLT? wondered if you could help me please? I have node in xml that is as followed  $LOG: 08880xbpnd $ fhdsafidsfsd df sd fsd f sd fsd  I was wondering is there anyway to make all the text go on to one line so that it then can be passsed through to a javascript function? so it would turn out like this   $LOG: 08880xbpnd $fhdsafidsfsddfsdfsdfsdfsd Changing affiliation on publication Why don't players get extra xp for large encounters? Based on the table Encounter XP Multipliers from the Basic Rules' DM section, Page 57, when you're building encounters in 5E, you include an XP modifier depending on the number of creatures your PCs will be fighting: 1.5x for a pair, 2x for 3-6 and so on. However, the PCs only get the base XP as a reward.     This doesn't change the actual xp reward ... just your calculations of how difficult the encounter is.   Why is this? After acknowledging that battles vs multiple opponents are more difficult, why not reward them as such? Animations with movie15 and swf files I am trying to use movie15 to embed vector animations in my presentation. The trouble is that embedded SWF files refuse to display on Acrobat Reader X sometimes with a "This Media requires an additional player" message. Eg. this  doesn't work. Animated GIFs won't display either, with no error message.   Maybe this is an Acrobat issue but I tried the flashmovie package with the same SWF files and that does work (but only with the embedded player option so no controls are visible). But flashmovie is supposedly unstable with beamer so I was wondering if someone had run into the same problem with movie15.  I am using Windows 7, Acrobat 10.1.2 and MiKTeX. Finite Summation of Fractional Factorial Series Need guidance on this proof by mathematical induction. I am new to this type of math and don't know how exactly to get started.   $$ 1^3  +  2^3  +  3^3  +  \ldots  +  n^3  =  \left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]^2 $$ Inspired by  I was wondering why the Half Blood Prince left his book as a class copy. One would think that it was precious to him, since he invested so much in it. He made up potions and spells up by his own. I would expect him to keep it to himself. Both, because of the personal value of it, and to prevent others to (as happened at last) use his work (misguided and/or against him).  Is there any canon explanation why his book was left as class copy? How to Find Nearby iOS Devices (GPS locations) using same app I want to create an effect on a character where their skin and clothing are effected by two different light sources. The clothing should only reflect a bright bounce light, but have the skin should not be affected by this light source.    In the example image I have two objects a cube, a sphere and three emission  lights . I want the two white lights to hit both objects, and I need the purple light to hit and reflect off of the sphere, but ignore the cube entirely (no reflections).  Someone suggested to composite the layers together, it works... but this is very impractical and cumbersome because it forces the background to be transparent and it will be a pain to try and layer together a more complex scene, especially if its animated which is what I want this effect for.  I know you can have objects ignore shadows and all kinds of other things so im hoping someone knows how to get an object to ignore light with a few settings. My passport is expiring; can I still travel? Sort a Map by values I am relatively new to Java, and often find that I need to sort a Map&lt;Key, Value&gt; on the values.  Since the values are not unique, I find myself converting the keySet into an array, and sorting that array through array sort with a custom comparator that sorts on the value associated with the key.  Is there an easier way?
