25yo male. I've been super tired for the past few months and it's gotten to the point where unless I absolutely have to do something, I'm apt to just sleep the day away. Doesn't matter if I get 4 hours or 10, I'm so fatigued when I wake up that it takes 2-3 consecutive naps before I feel motivated to do anything. I did a sleep study + mslt in November, and the neurologists (two locally, plus results were sent out to UPMC) basically said normal amount of apnea, no RLS, no narcolepsy. Everything normal except no REM whatsoever in the ~10 hours total sleep, and I woke up "about 8 million times" that I didn't remember. The diagnosis was "something's wrong, but we don't know what's wrong, ask again in March." They recommended taking my cymbalta in the morning rather than at night, which hasn't had any effect. Depression/anxiety are well managed, and they and the cymbalta predate this by years. No caffeine after about 3pm. Sometimes I'll listen to podcasts when I go to bed but don't fall asleep staring at the screen or anything. No anemia, no thyroid issues, no nothing. Also no trouble falling asleep. I'm at a loss and it's becoming a problem beyond just being tired. It takes 20 alarms in the morning and I still often cut it close getting to work, where I'm usually very short tempered and apathetic. Typically I'm the easygoing yes-man at work. I used to be, anyway. Only other suggestion was to ease off the cymbalta, which I'm hesitant but willing to try. Thoughts?

I'm getting an 88 Mustang GT roadworthy again after it sat in storage for a decade. Right now the only thing I'm stuck on is the temperature gauge. It doesn't move at all regardless of how warm the engine is. I replaced the sensor on the intake and the thermostat, no dice. Is there another sensor somewhere or anything else that could cause this aside from a bad gauge? No codes and doesn't run excessively hot that I can tell, but definitely should be warm enough to read after idling for 20 minutes. Heater core is bypassed (not sure why), but I would think that'd only make it run a little hotter. Just changed the coolant and got all the air out as well. Hoping I don't have to chase wires or replace the cluster.

I'm fixing up an 88 Mustang that was in storage for 12 years. Pretty much the only issue right now is that as soon as you turn the radio up loud enough to hear (very quiet, only one or two clicks from off) it will occasionally give an extremely loud pop. Turn it up any louder and it's almost entirely static from a station it should pick up fine, and the cracks become literally painful. I don't know sound systems, so would this be a bad radio, bad speakers, or an electrical problem? If it matters, the building it was in was very damp, as evidenced by the 5 hours I spent de-molding the interior.

And if so, how much of a challenge would it be?

I ve got a 350 sbc that I m looking to rebuild. It s already torn down to the bare block, which is in pretty good shape. The only thing is the cylinders have a small amount of rust and will need to be bored .030 over. Could I get away with just having it bored out or do I absolutely need to have the deck machined and everything else? Assuming that s all I need, roughly what would it cost for the bore plus machining the crank and rods? I m not building a race engine here and I can reassemble it myself.

I'm 19 years old and have been balding for about two years now. I would guess I'm a strong type II or maybe a type III. Normally It's pretty embarrassing wearing a beanie at college when it's 90 degrees outside. A little background...

Both of my grandfathers were almost completely bald. My father (mid 50s) is showing only the earliest signs and my brother has a slightly receding hairline. I, on the other hand, have what I would describe as a severe widow's peak that's thinning in the middle that can't be hidden with long hair anymore. About two years ago I noticed I began to shed a lot and got weird red bumps on the back of my scalp. This usually happens in the winter, so I attribute it to being dry skin. However, my scalp is nearly always very itchy in the back. I also have noticed small little grains that I originally thought were dandruff. However, a little more research tells me they could be calcium deposits and that they can cause symptoms of mpb. I'll try washing my hair with vinegar for a while and see if that helps. I did try some (very) expensive shampoo that's made to pass drug tests but says it removes all toxins from your hair. It seems to have helped as my scalp is nearly as itchy as it normally is and I haven't discovered any grains. I'm not excessively stressed or anything like that. My questions are: could calcium deposits be the problem, and if so, is it reversible? If not, should I see a dermatologist? I'm not ready for the acceptance stage just yet.

I'm writing in C and keep running into this problem. I'm trying to fill an array in main using a function call, with the array as an argument. However, I get this error at the line where the function is called. It works fine for int arrays, but not doubles. For example:

...

void functionCall(int arrayA[10], double arrayB[10]);

...

int arrayOne[10];

double arrayTwo[10];

functionCall(arrayOne[10],arrayTwo[10]); /*error here, C2440*/

...

Do I need to fill the arrays with something other than junk first? I have no idea...

Review for an exam coming up:

A ball with a weight of 100N (m=10.2kg) is hung from the ceiling on a 4.5m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.5m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension of the rope at this point?

I'm trying to use a return value from a function in main.

For example:

x=2

int example(x)

{

int y;

y = x + 1;

return (y);

}

Stepping through the definition will calculate y, but when I try to use y back in main I get a runtime error saying it hasn't been initialized. How can I use the return value?

It's been years since I've done calculus. I'm trying to find the tangent line to y=x^3 - 3x + 2 at (2,4). I don't remember what to do after taking the derivative since 3x^2 - 3 will not give the slope of a line...

I have to play around in C for my engineering class. I'm trying to build the project but I keep getting:

fatal error C1853: 'Debug\ECS102.pch' precompiled header file is from a previous version of the compiler, or the precompiled header is C++ and you are using it from C (or vice versa)

and I'm not sure what to do about it...

If 1/6 of 30 is 4, what is 1/4 of 10? (May not be base 10)

I tried giving blood today but was deferred for having a fast pulse. The lady checked it once and it was 103, 106 a little later, and then another woman checked it and it was 110. She said my BP was perfect. I wasn't nervous; I've given blood half a dozen times. Any possible reason for this? 19 year old guy.

I don't smoke much, but I know what I'm doing. I've had good and bad experiences, been paranoid, sick, all that. But the last time was different. Everything was going fine but I felt like nothing was happening at first. I was sitting outside at night just thinking to myself. I sort of drifted off into a thought and then all of the sudden I felt like I had just woken up. Like when you wake up during a dream and instantly know it wasn't real, but this is? That's sort of what it felt like. Then I sort of drifted off again and the same thing happened. Repeat who knows how many times. I know I wasn't passing out for some reason because I could follow the music in the background and didn't fall back on the couch or anything. I even stood up a few times. I found myself staring at things for minutes at a time without even realizing it. I also started twitching pretty badly. Noticably. I thought maybe it was just because I was cold, so eventually I worked up the courage to go inside. It must've taken 5 minutes to get to the door, I moved so slowly. Then I sat on the bathroom floor for what felt like 10 minutes but was actually an hour. Used the toilet 4 times. Then I went downstairs with the others and worried that they'd notice I was acting strangely, so I tried to just go with it. Except I couldn't sit still for more than a few seconds. I don't know, it was all very unlike anything I've experienced before. I know laced stuff is uncommon but I can't explain this otherwise. Thoughts?

This is probably a really simple problem but my calculus skills are dismal.

"A cube's volume is increasing at the rate of 2.3 m^3/hr. At what rate is its surface area changing when a side of the cube is 3?"

I'm not even sure if I should start with the volume or the surface area...

I just started calculus of a single variable and we're talking about continuity and such. One of my problems is to "Algebraically 'design' a linear function that has a hole at x=2, but whose limit as x approaches 2 is 5."

The issue is that we've only talked about finding holes and limits from a function, not finding a function from the hole and limit.

I'm trying to recover data from the hard disk of a Dell Inspiron 600m. It's an old PATA with 43 pins + 4 on the side. Everything I've seen mentions 4 pins for power, 4 jumpers, and however many others there are. Are the separate 4 for power or jumpers, or are they one and the same? I've heard 39 are IDE, 4 are power and the separate 4 are for jumpers.

My big question is: What would the total count be for pins? Are the separate 4 included? I'm looking for an enclosure for the HDD and don't know which to get.

I know I don't need both, but would these guys...

Work with this?

I'm wondering because neither would include the 4 separate pins. Sorry I'm so wordy. It's just kind of important.

I'm trying to fix a Dell Inspiron 600m with a registry error-- it won't boot. This guy:

stop: c0000218 registry file failure

The registry cannot load the hive (file): \systemroot\system32\config\software or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.

I'm fairly confident that the easiest fix would be to repair the registry with the installation disk. Unfortunately, we don't have the original disk. However, I do have a disk from a Toshiba Satellite L-35 S2161 with the same version of XP. I know the drivers and such wouldn't work, but could the disk be used to repair the registry in the Dell?

At this point I'm more concerned with getting the data from the hard drive than I am with actually fixing the laptop. I don't think it would be good for a civil engineer to lose all his files.
