eGPU crashes laptop

I get an error saying something like WHEA_UNCONTROLLABLE . . . then 0124x I think, it's been going on for so long, I've tried replacing the thunderbolt cable and using DDU to clean install drivers

It's an AORUS GTX 1080 Gaming Box, I bought it used on eBay a few while back, its LEDs inside seem to have been removed by the previous owner. I opened it before to remove dust thinking maybe that was the problem but sadly it wasn't. I don't know anything so I don't know what to inspect, any ideas on how to fix?

Thank you - appreciate any replies!

Should I even bother applying with a big fat D in a dual enrollment course?

I messed up and received a D in precalculus last year, there were no extenuating circumstances and I failed because I didn't think it was a big deal, barely studied, and was absent alot. I retook the class and got the grade replaced to an A, and my D got excluded from my cumulative college GPA.

But the D will be living on my college transcript forever. I got all As on Calc I & II, a 5 on AP Calc BC, and a 760 Math on the SAT. Highest math course I'll be taking will be Linear Algebra. No saving atp? Not even STS?

Thank you, appreciate any replies!

PS: Not a chance me!! just wondering if I'm a lost cause

Will Animation Studio Change for Season 3?

If we get a season 3 for the anime, is it unlikely that the studio would be changed? I absolutely love Telecom Animation Film & Takashi Sano's take on the animation and style, it was so unique and fitting, but I do get why they had to change to a cheaper studio

I didn't notice the change up until Khun showed up, then I really started to notice the changes, and.. it could be better, everything felt generic especially the backgrounds but no hate to the studio lol

Delayed Subtitles - ToG S2 EP14

Hello! Does anyone else have this issue? Weirdly, it only happens specifically in S2 EP14 of Tower of God set to Japanese Audio with English Subtitles. Episodes 13 and 15 of ToG and EPs from other titles still have their subtitles synced

Changing the audio and/or subtitle language fixes the problem but only on the set language, like if set in French the subtitles are in sync, but if set in English it isn't. I've already tried restarting my laptop, using a browser instead of the app, changing languages/settings then unchanging them, but nothing works

Can this be resolved on my end?

Thank you - appreciate any replies!

Should I email my professor about possible grade recovery?

I'm a dual enrollment student and I have been a horrible student in a class because of (mainly) bad decisions and chronic insomnia and I'm afraid I will get a low C or fail - which will heavily impact my future college applications, and possibly graduate school applications because they would see my bad grade in this class. My professor is really nice and I feel so bad for doing this to him and I want to change for my grade and for his efforts. I've recently crammed alot of procrastinated lessons that I didn't fully get and resulted in me not performing well in my third test, my tests average is a 60%. But I will try my very best starting from now on and I've come to terms to what my actions have led to

Should I email or talk to my professor in person about possible grade recovery? Retaking a test or extensions to save my grade? I know this isn't highschool where retests, extensions, and exceptions are frequent so I will understand if I don't get any grade recovery options. Or should I just keep trying my best so I could get a C and have my actions show that I am taking his class seriously?

Thank you - I appreciate any replies

How does 1800 Contacts 1-day Shipping work?

Hello! It's probably a mistake on my part, but I expected my contacts from 1800 to arrive the day after I ordered, which was supposed to be yesterday. I paid an extra $20 for the expedite

I also ordered a few months ago, selected FREE shipping (which is 7-day shipping), and received the contacts 3-4 days after, so I did expect a super fast delivery from 1800 when I paid more

I remember an option saying 2-3d(?) shipping for $15 which is why I opted to pay an extra $5 for the 1-day shipping (which costs $20), but now it's arriving 2 days after I ordered, thankfully though my last pair of contacts expire tomorrow

Does anyone know how the 1800 Contacts 1-day expedite work so one could know what shipping speed to select in the future?
Is it:
(1d) Verification, Shipped, (2d) Delivery, and Arrival
or is it supposed to be:
(1d) Verification, Shipped, Delivery, and Arrival

Thank you! - appreciate any replies!

[USA] Resale Value?

Hi, I'm currently planning on buying a Sony XR8B (OLED, 65", 4K) for ~1.6k USD

But I am to move to the east coast in mid-2028 (coming from the west) and can't bring the TV with me, so I'm looking to sell it in 2028. How much realistically would I be able to sell it for in 2 years? Assuming the TV will be in near mint/good condition

Thank you! - appreciate any replies!

ANOTHER Hypothetical: AP Rhetoric & Public Communication

https://preview.redd.it/3uihabrisp2h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=4851e18bba6deffc24690284db88bb055278a775

You get the Rhetoric and Public Communication skills in AP Lang + AP Seminar but the course itself is slower and less rigourous, similar to how AP Calc AB is slower/easier to BC (where BC is AP Lang + Seminar), in this case AB (AP Rhetoric & PC) focuses on public communication and also serves as a stepping stone to AP Lang/Capstone

I tickle my balls to sleep

Does anyone else do this or am i weird as hell

Okay so this is something i would NEVER talk about in real life because it sounds actually insane 😭 but when i get really sleepy i start rubbing my balls together. Not even in a normal way either like ill take one finger and slowly rub it down the sides of my balls all the way down and it gives me this crazy rush of comfort or euphoria or whatever the word is. I deadass start zoning out doing it

Then once im in that super sleepy trance state i can lightly drag my fingernails across my balls and it sends these insane shivers through my body. Especially over goosebumps. Like if i go back over the goosebumps with my nails lightly it amplifies the feeling sooo much and it feels weirdly amazing 😭

Even the bottom of my feet and my feet are HELLA ticklish normally but if i barely touch them with my nails it somehow feels relaxing instead of ticklish. I genuinely have no idea why this happens

It kinda feels like ASMR but physical?? Like tingles mixed with relaxation and sleepyness. Idk bro. Please tell me other people do this because i feel like a friggin alien typing this out lmao

Third-party screen replacement | Infinite Access

Hi, will my phone still eligible for a Trade-In and be considered "Good conditon" if I got the screen replaced at a third party repair shop? I didn't get coverage so an official repair would cost me $379 from Apple

I was really really hungry and a roomate just made delicous tofu and I had been debating eating my left over fried rice (4 bowls worth) so it's been in the fridge for about 2 days and today I ate a bowl. Before I put it in the fridge it was left out for 4--5 hours, it's only jasmine rice, soy sauce, and egg. Google said I may get Fried Rice Syndrome and die. Will I be

As of the 2nd of May, 2026. I have not died. Although I pooped 2 times today. (I know, It's tempting, but do not eat bad food)

I appreciate all the replies! Thank you!!
