When people say they are spiritual, although atheist, what do they mean, if they mean something at all? Can you claim being spiritual if you don't believe in gods, ghosts and the like? Is there a spirit, from a non-religious point of view, as a separate thing from the mind?

When an atheist says she's spiritual, she means that she finds beauty and balance in the world around her and in her very own self. There are lots of activities other than the ones that have to do with religion that you can participate in that will get you that outlook on life: art, science, philosophy, etc.
Lots of good answers, just one thing to add. I have seen different uses of the term "spiritual" used by atheists: 1) In the first sense, it is metaphorical. This is the point of the Hitchens quote from jeroenk. Quotes by Einstein, Sagan, and other similar types likely fit into this category. 2) The second sense is "s...

This question is probably better suited for English.se than philosophy.se, but the basic answer is that spiritual has to do with spirit. But what is spirit?

The scope of a static variable is its AppDomain. So no, it won't get garbage collected - but if the AppDomain is recycled (which can happen a fair amount in ASP.NET) then you'll end up with a "new" static variable, effectively.
In my experience with our web apps here, the answer is A. As far as I know, a static class will never be GCed, it lives on for the life of the process (in this case, the ASP.NET worker process)

EF will ignore table without primary keys.
Options I can think of: * Did you check the box next to those tables? * Did you previously add them, then delete their entities but keep the cache of the tables? * If so you can remove them from entity browser window and re-add them or manually add entities and define the table they map to in mappings window. * Perhap...

EF requires a primary key on the table. EF will not map tables for which it can't find or derive a primary key. If all columns are nullable, it can't assume a primary key. If one or more columns are not nullable, EF will evidently derive a primary key for the table.

EF will ignore table without primary keys.
Actually, in my case, it doesn't work because I was using a hierarchyid field as a primary key and EF doesn't work with this field type, so, it didn't import the table, because a valid PK is required.

So I found an old washing machine and salvaged the motor. However I can't find any information about how to wire it because it has 9 wires coming out. So 2 of them are speed control = 7 to go. 2 are brushes and that leaves 5 for windings which seems like a lot. [![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mm2RJ.jpg)](https://i.s...

Here are some possibilities. They should be verified by testing with an ohmmeter, tracing wires etc. Speed may be controlled by shorting some of the field windings or connecting more or less of the field coil in series with the armature. One or more temperature switches inside the motor may protect from overheating. Th...
I guess that this is some thermo switch, because it was connected in serial with the brush, I think.

little late, but here is wiring of motor, just wire count is inverted. Just search motor model 1243098 <http://ala-paavola.fi/jaakko/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=597en_145.pdf> **(edited)** The table lines about this motor are: [![excerpt from table](https://i.stack.imgur.com/IYVGS.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/IYVGS....

Does a question (and by extension its answers) have to be posed in English, or are purely Japanese conversations acceptable? What about other languages?

By posting questions in Japanese, we also encourage Japanese native speakers to contribute, so I like the idea. However, I don't like the idea of a rift between questions that beginners can, and cannot, understand. At least, I reckon that the question should get a specific tag for its posted language - e.g. "question-...

All the answers posted so far agree in that questions do not have to be in English in principle, although some point out the limitation of the system which might cause glitches when questions are not in English.

I think this will tend to sort itself out. Beginner questions will tend to be in mostly english. This is fine, since a native Japanese person's knowledge of the language will be less useful for these than other gaijin's perspectives from learning the language. More advanced questions will be the ones that tend to be...

I don't know if that would fly here (pun intended). But on Christmas Eve I noticed that the AvHerald put up a story about a lithium battery fire / smoke in the cockpit on Santa's sleigh. You might also ask about the aerodynamics of reindeer antlers!
