Econosaurus posted:I have a PDF that was saved with 2 pages per page. If that doesn't make sense, it's horizontal with two pages next to each other. Is there a program or way to automatically split all the pages and put them in order so it's one page of the document per pdf page? That's probably just a viewing option. On If you're using Adobe Reader, you can change it as follows: View > Page Display > Single Page View.

quadrophrenic posted:What would happen if you lined up a row of dominoes, but each domino was progressively infinitesimally larger than the last one? So you start with a regular sized domino, then say 1,000,000 dominoes later you end up with one the size of a door? And then you push the first domino, would it end up knocking over the door-sized one? Most of the energy used to knock over the next domino would come from setting up the current domino in the first place, not the initial push on the first domino.

Hey, come over here and sit on my lap. No, it's not a sexual thing, I'm just relaxed. Can you jiggle around a bit? Yeah, that's good, now I'm really relaxed.

EATIN SHRIMP posted:I've been taught to refer to corporations as "it" in writing, not "they/their" but I'm assuming I can use "they" to refer to more than one company. Of course - what else would you say? "Between the two companies, its account for 95% of the consumer soft-drink market"? By the way, referring to individual corporations as "they" is common and accepted in British English.

What about something like =IF(SUM(F$1:F3)>SUM(F$1:F2),SUM(F$1:F3),""), which would avoid the hidden column?

USMC_Karl posted:That's pretty tough when you are trying to clean up "A module connected to the substrate having two sensors measuring a temperature of external air suctioned through an inlet having a predetermined inlet diameter is connected to the substrate to transmit temperature information of the external air suctioned through the inlet to an external device in a wireless manner." (I know this seems like an exaggerated sentence, but it really isn't.) "There is a module that uses two sensors to measure the temperature of external air sucked through an inlet of a predetermined diameter. This module is connected to the substrate to transmit the measured temperature to an external device in a wireless manner."
