Bleep

I'm looking at upgrading my current laptop to a gaming laptop. I don't play many massive triple A titles on it but I have a lot of games and keep a lot of stuff on it and sometimes my laptop struggles to load some stuff or it gets stutters and bits of lag. It's pretty old now, so I've been thinking of upgrading memory, processor and graphics. I heard SSD was faster to read files, but because I keep all my stuff on my laptop and I use it for video editing as well, I need HDD for storage. I thought about getting both HDD and SSD but to keep it close to my ideal price (£1000 and below, max. cap £1200) all the ones I can see are offering 6GB RAM. What level of SSD would I need to deal with the 2GB drop in RAM? Is it worth it?

Current specs: 8GB RAM, Intel i5 (aiming for i7), Intel HD Graphics (aiming for Nvidia GeForce GTX1060Ti), 1TB HDD

I did also question if having a low level graphics card would be the cause of some of these lag and loading problems too. Could upgrading just that fix things?

Thanks in advance for any help

So last week on Monday I was ill with a cold, standard business, just a sore throat and a lot of coughing and blocked nose.

Anyway, on the Friday morning I woke up basically deaf in one ear. It turned out that I had a mad amount of earwax in my ear (gross, I know), so this Friday just gone I had it syringed, basically jet-washed. I'd been deaf in my right ear for an entire week despite using ear drops before I had the chance to get it sorted, but luckily the syringing fixed it and now I've got my hearing back. Problem is, my right ear is hearing sound at a higher pitch than my left ear. It's a bit too obvious to ignore, and it's making things sound distorted, I can hear a higher pitched echo after every noise. It happens when people talk to me as well as listening to music. It's throwing me off a bit because I just feel uneven. Has anyone else had this? Do you think it might just be my ear getting used to sound again after being deaf for a week or might the mad clog of wax have messed my ear up somehow? 

Earlier I was looking up how to completely remove libido because I don't like or want a relationship for now and taking the time to get rid of any urges I have disgusts me deeply, so it would just be easier if I didn't get them. I didn't really find anything useful, but what I did find was a lot of people saying that this was an odd desire and that the people asking for ways must have had something wrong with them. Is it true? I only want to get rid of any urges I have because 1. They're a distraction, 2. They're disgusting, and 3. They incite thoughts that I am not comfortable with and that I don't need. I don't want to sleep with anyone and I don't want a relationship so these feelings are no use to me right now. Is that weird? Or were these people just being unnecessarily harsh? If it makes a difference I am 19.

I ve been feeling off-balance (like if you ve been in the sea and can feel yourself moving up&down) for the last 4 days now, and I ve been quite tired too. Evidence has suggested I might be anaemic (I had my period then had blood taken) but I m not sure. My lymph node under my chin is swollen which usually implies an infection, and because of the knock to my balance I suspected it might be an ear infection. But my ears aren t sore and haven t been blocked at all. If it is anaemia, I don t know why my lymph node is swollen. I can exercise fine and the wavy feeling subsides a bit when I do, but on average it hasn t been getting better in these 4 days. I m up and about as normal and am now on Iron supplements and am changing my diet to add iron (ive only had 2 tablets so far) but I still am not sure if that s what it is. I haven t been diagnosed by a doctor.

Does anyone know if it s more likely to be an infection or anaemia?

I want to join the RAF but I think part of the medical is a blood test. Now I m absolute s*** scared of needles to the point where I feel like I d rather die than have anyone stick one in me. I don t get why because when I was a kid I didn t care but the older I ve got the worse it s got. Last time I had an injection I passed out. Obviously if I want to join the military I don t want to look like an **** by ending up face-down on the floor flooding with tears during my officer selection medical. I have 3 weeks to break myself out of this. Help?

I want to make another Yahoo account with a different email address, but I saw that you can have 2 email addresses that function off the same inbox and the like. I don t want to do that. If I set up a second account, will it have a separate inbox? I want to use one account for trash email, like when you sign up to websites and they send you promo stuff you ll never look at, so obviously I don t want those emails falling into my normal Yahoo account and cluttering it. I just want another inbox to dump stuff in and then come back and delete it months later.

Basically all I m asking is, if I make a new Yahoo account, will it be a different email entirely with its own inbox and name and password and functions? Or will it be an integrated one? And if it is integrated, is there any other way I can set it up so it s not?

Thanks for any answers

Bear with me because this is kinda gross and I don't like talking about it, but basically I get acne on my rear and I've heard that apparently the skin coming into close contact with materials can cause it to be worse. But I wear underwear 24/7, even when I go to bed, just because I feel comfortable doing it. I don't like the feeling of having open space around my lower area, and my pyjamas can be baggy. Could me wearing underwear to bed be making it worse? Should I get used to sleeping without underwear on? Thanks for any help

I need to do some research on whether or not we should privatise the NHS in England, and I was wanting to use some statistics from the type of healthcare they have in America as an example of what could happen if we privatise. However, I am aware that Obamacare came into effect, and the only article I could find that had a concise explanation of what the US healthcare system was like was from 2010. But I don t actually know if Obamacare is still going or if it s part-privatised or what. What I m asking is this: does anyone know any websites that explain what the healthcare system is like now/was in 2017 or does anyone know anything about it?

Thanks for any help

When I roll my shoulders forwards, I get a strong aching pain in my sternum (middle of my chest). I don t feel any pain in it any other time, and none of my ribs seem to be out of place or anything. Does anyone know why this could be?

I'm looking into the standpoints of Antifa and the Alt-right in America (I'm British so I don't know too much about it) and I wanted to know if anyone would give me a hand with the viewpoints of each side and any statistics about them that could help me? I'm looking at which one I would agree with more, and reasons why they seem to be clashing so much and with so much force.

I've looked at news reports but as you know there's a lot of blaming and throwing accusations around in things like that and I'm not sure really how to find the agenda of each of them. If anyone can give me a hand with any knowledge they have about either side, I would be incredibly grateful.

Sources would also be appreciated if that is possible.

I have been ill with diarrhoea for 5 days now, and it is much better than it was. I can eat food as normal (i get a little stomachache and wind but it usually settles), and my poo is now mostly brown instead of a yellow colour, but when I do poo it is still runny. Now because of my illness I had to miss staff training at work (as a lifeguard) and have to do a make-up assessment to prove I am still qualified enough. But that requires me to get in the pool and swim. I read online that you're not supposed to go swimming until a full 24 hours after it has gone away, but I am nearly healed and I don't want to put this off for much longer as I don't want it to build up. I can last for 2 hours (that's how long it is) without needing to go but when I need it I do really need it and the poo is still runny. Am I okay to go?

Apologies for the not so nice topic but I could really use some help.

At 3am yesterday I woke up and went to the toilet, found out I have diarrhoea. The first one was a dark brown liquid that shot out. I went back to bed and lasted until 6am when I went again and then another time in the space of ten minutes. I needed to go again at 7:20 and at other intervals quite frequently.

I had a slice of toast for breakfast with butter, which stayed down fine, and for lunch I had a bowl of soup and some bread. As the day wore on I needed to go less often, luckily, as I was needing to wipe so much in my frequent toilet visits that my *** was getting sore. Then one time I wiped and saw a bit of red blood on the tissue.

Now I read up on diarrhoea and it said, if there s blood in it, you need to go see a doctor. The poo itself is a light yellow-brown. So I m not actually sure if this blood is from my raw *** or from my poo. Also my poo seems slightly shiny like there s mucous in it. I think that s normal but I m not sure.

I went to bed at 7:30 and slept until now, 2:30am, where I promptly visited the toilet.

It said to see a doctor if your sleep cycle is being interrupted but I m not sure what they can do about that.

I m trying to keep hydrated but it s hard to do when drinking water gives you stomachache and wind..

Yeah so if anyone can help me with the blood/should I visit a doctor thing I would be grateful.

All answers are appreciated.

It only started yesterday afternoon but when I was eating and swallowed some food I would get a tiny sharp pain for just a second at the back of my throat, and down the centre of my chest I would get sharp stabbing pains. It has happened again this morning but less strongly and without the throat pain, and I've had a lot of trapped wind (I normally do but there's more than usual). I had come back from the gym yesterday where I did a 15 minute run and some weight and a 10 minute cycle, if that's important. I was told it may be acid reflux but apparently at 18 I'm too young to have that. I'm a 5'5" Female, 62kg. Thank you in advance for any help.

I want to try making my own music on computer by being able to use samples of instruments that come with the software and combining them in my own way. Does anyone know of any software that will provide instrument samples and a platform for me to choose pitches and length in order to make my own song?

There's a guy that likes me. Same age as me. He's the best guy I've ever met, and I've never liked another guy as much as him. He asked me out, and I said no, but he wants to try again and hopes I will say yes if he keeps trying. He really cares for me, he's helped me through tricky situations and listened to me rant and I've done the same for him. The problem is me. I don't like physical contact very much, and all he wants is to kiss me and hold me, but I don't like it. It's weird and discomforting. I'm not autistic, as far as I'm aware, but intimacy makes me really really nervous and I panicked when he asked me out, so much so that I was shaking and I couldn't think for a minute or two. And it wasn't even amazement, because I knew it would happen. It was just pure shock and fear. I've tried relationships before but I don't have the effort for them, and I just can't show affection the same way he does because it's weird and unnatural to me, and even though I like him I don't really feel attracted to him. I've never really felt attracted to anyone. Sex scares me too, and even though he says he wouldn't want it I know he likes it. He's willing to give up everything for me and it terrifies me, and I feel cruel because I know I can't love him back. I don't know what to do. I hate him for making me feel this way about him and yet I care so much. I just can't unjumble my thoughts, I can't decide. Please, if you have any advice it would be brilliant.

Sorry for all the text.

I've read around this disorder and I've seen a lot that indicates only children get this kind of disorder, and that it's usually linked to ADHD. But can adults have it? And by this I mean ODD and not ADD, as ADD is like ADHD but ODD involves being hostile, irritable and uncooperative, being spiteful or annoying on purpose, and directing negative emotions at authority figures.

If you want to know why I'm asking about this, firstly It's just because I'm interested, but secondly it's because I'm writing a bad story and I noticed, after having a conversation with a psychology student and Googling behavioural disorders, that the description of ODD very much fitted the way I'd written one of my characters. I could include it in my story to give her more substance, but as I mentioned at the beginning it's usually only seen in children, and the character is 24 years old. If it isn't possible I'll leave it out, but I'm all for including real-world issues in my story, and I just wanted to see if anyone knew.

Thanks in advance for any answers

I downloaded an application from the internet but it wasn't registered with a source. When I downloaded it I had to turn my antivirus off and it was fine, but when I turn my antivirus back on it removes the application, so every time I want to use it I have to turn my antivirus off and re-extract the .zip file. Is there a way in my settings I can manually tell my antivirus not to get rid of this file?

Laptop charger plug gives a blue flash (spark) when I plug it in. It is usually plugged into an extension cord which is on, and my laptop is running. Is there a problem with my charger or is it normal?

Something I'm curious about. What do you have to do to get a gun license? Are there different ways to apply for different types of licenses? What are the laws on using the gun on owner's property/off owner's property? Are there any guns you can't own and is there a reason for that? (Like does the gun have to be below a certain power or weight or size?

Basically if you can tell me anything at all about owning guns in America then thank you! Don't worry It's research for a bad novel I'm writing.
