Is there any way to finish your degree online?

For this coming fall, I only need two courses (and C or D level) to graduate. However I have a full time research position which, including commute will occupy my time from 7am-5pm daily. I have found one course which is offered online, but can't find another, so if anyone has any info on if it's possible to finish online lmk

PH values in deodorant

I've been analyzing deodorant's based on their irritation and (estimated) pH values. For brands such as lume and saltair they seem to have more acidic pH (below I'm assuming 4) since many reviews display chemical irritation after a few weeks of use. This has made me curious, so if anyone knows or is an expert on this, what is the general ideal pH for acid based deodorant that doesn't cause irritation and is effective at odour control after prolonged uses?

How to effectively increase surface area of underarm

Hello everyone, recently I have began doing some self formulating for deodorants. This has had myself come across the interesting notion of being able to use certain insoluble components to effectively increase surface area of the underarm, allowing for more effective product. For the life of me though everywhere I look I can't find any actual ingredients for some reason, idk if the deodorant industry is secretive about it or what. I have a few ideas of what may potentially work, such as something ultra fine like cornstarch, or something that won't interfere with the natural oils/lipids. If anyone has anyone has any ideas please share

Constant headaches in the same spot for five years. Comes in waves and I'm tired of it

For background, I am male, 23 years old, 6'1 and 210lbs. I don't drink, never smoked, vape, etc. I go to the gym everyday for at least an hour and a half and am in decent shape. I take Effexor daily for old anxiety and depression and have been on it since I was ~16.

Since winter of 2020 I have been dealing with these headaches. It started as my wisdom teeth were growing in, which is why I didn't think of it as anything besides that at the time. After I got them removed I didn't experience another headache for a few weeks.

Since this every 3-4 months I have a 2-3 week period where I have headaches every damn day. They always start the exact same way. For 15-20 minutes u have a pain in the top right side of my jaw where my wisdom tooth was extracted. After that I get a horrible headache that is always in the Alexa's same spot, my right temple and behind my right eye. It gets so bad I've genuinely thought about pulling out my back two top right molars as they seem to echo the headaches pain. Obviously I don't because that won't fix anything but my god it hurts. My right eye will pour out tears. I don't get that light sensitivity or at least not bad.

This has been the routine for my last year of high-school, all to my last year of university, and to now. I'm beyond tired of this. Whenever I had these headaches coming on while I was in a laboratory for university I would have to remove my gloves massage my temples, or just be useless for the rest of the experiment. It didn't happen much but the few times it did I felt horrible.

I don't know what causes it. I have had X-rays for my teeth, have no cavity, brush and floss. I've ruled out all dental related things and now am hoping to get an mri or ct or something. I know they won't find anything though since I've been having it go on this long, and have no loss in diet, fitness, balance, etc.

I'm just tired of this and if anyone has any suggestions please send away.

Genuinely lost

I've been job hunting since January knowing I would graduate soon. I have my degree in biochemistry and environmental science, and have been applying to probably over 700 jobs. I've been getting desperate from applying to lab tech positions, chemical handlers, or other field related positions and I can't get anything. Most of my experience comes from campus volunteering - have had two volunteer positions as a lab helper and tutor. I have other work experience from a few summers but it's like I can't get anything. I had two friends try to get me jobs at Costco and never heard anything. I got a call from a pharmacy about working in the warehouse, got told my resume looked great, and to call back after I bought steel toe shoes and I would get started. Bought the shoes called back and got told they will contact me after screening other applications. Like I am so beyond done with the job market. It's like to make minimum wage I need a ph.D and purple heart. I've been beyond depressed the past week and don't know what to do. Anything I go to in person tells me to apply online. Any application I do online, either through the company site, indeed, job bank, etc gets ghosted or rejected. People say it's easy when you have your foot in the door but apparently my foot is broken or something. All I can think of is using my degree to fast track a 3 year co-op program for a bio technician. I just wanted to start making money so I can get on with my future

I went to check my marks for the other courses, and it showed me that I had received my grade for the course I petitioned. I got the confirmation of petition, but haven't heard anything since I submitted on the 17th. Should it be taking this long to hear back? And also is it normal to have received the grade, and it gets adjusted after writing deferred exam right?
