How to get a clean shave So I grow facial hair at an unholy rate and thus have to share everyday. I've been trying to shave against the grain so that i et a closer shave, but even then, it looks like I have stubble and the mustache area still looks darker in comparison with the rest of my skin. Also, the facial hair grows back during the day, so are there any products that rapidly slow the growth of facial hair? tl;dr have facial hair. want skin to look brighter rather than a five o'clock shadow and and products that slow down hair growth?

Help with a differential equation problem? The problem is: Find the steady periodic solution to the differential equation x″+3x′+16x=4sin(2t) in the form xsp(t)=Ccos(ωt-α), with C > 0 and 0≤α<2π. I have C and ω as 2sqrt(5)/15 and 2 respectively and my A and B values from solving the particular solution are A=(4/15) and B=(-2/15). So then I use arctan(B/A) to find α and I add 2π to it because it's in the fourth quadrant, but the answer is wrong. Help??

Question about phone upgrades and switching carriers so about a month ago, my family switched to T-Mobile from ATT. I currently have an htc one from ATT (but i'm using the OPO right now) and we were on the NEXT plan thing on ATT. We paid off all our phones so that does qualify us for an upgrade. But, now that we've switched carriers, does that mean we're not eligible for an upgrade on T-Mobile or can we still upgrade? if i am able to upgrade, I'm planning on giving my upgrade to someone in the family.

letters to gf? yay or nay? So my girlfriend and I are on college break rn and idk, although I do miss her, i haven't missed her THAT much, but there are times where I do whenever a certain smell/sight/sound/touch/taste comes in contact with me. Whenever I do really miss her, I've been writing like 100 word letters describing the situation and how that relates to her and the quality of her's corresponding to said situation that I miss of hers. So far, its been about 2 weeks and I've had 4 incidents...they were more frequent in the first week and it hasn't really come up lately so the intense longing feeling should be less frequent. But, I am planning on visiting her next week so I was thinking about making like a mailbox and putting these le

viola after 2 years? learning violin and cello? Hey y'all. I think i want to pick up my viola again after 2 years of not playing it. I've been playing since 6th grade and am going into my sophomore year of college, so I have been playing for a while, but still 2 years could do some damage. I was wondering, for you musicians out there, how hard was it to pick up your instrument after not touching it for a prolonged time? I read some sheet music and I can still read and match the corresponding fingers on each string pretty easily, but playing might be a different story. Also, I am interested in leraning violin...going from viola to violin (LOL not the other way around...how ironic), how hard would this be? I know i'd have to learn a new clef,

Good ideas for a student club event? So I'm one of the freshmen reps for the chinese student association at our university and one of our main jobs is to come up with a social event where we (hopefully) attract lots of people to come and just chill. One of our ideas -and probably the one we're going to use- is an ice cream social. The thing is, I feel like an ice cream social wouldn't bring in a ton of people. Ive discussed the idea with the other freshman reps and board members and they do agree that it may be a little bland, but its the best we could come up with given the current conditions (Slush like environment where we live rn). Also, we have to keep the budget small. Or preferably small, as we have to come up with the funding. Some

Taking Diff Eq with Physics EampM or not? I was originally planning on taking Physics over the summer at my local community college, but was also pondering if I should take Diff EQ along with it? The problem is, Physics goes from 12-1:40 everyday while Diff EQ goes from 1-2:40 everyday but Wednesdays. I don't want to punch myself too hard over the summer, but I know for a fact I'm taking Physics because its a GPA killer at my college and would alleviate a lot of stress for next semester (Taking orgo). On the other hand, if I also take Diff EQ, then that ll open up more room for more classes concentrated on my major. Is it possible to do well in Diff EQ without going to lecture the entire time? Ill most likely have to self study, but I did t

Ti 89 Titanium or Ti nspire cx cas Heading to college in a month so I think it might be a good time to retire my 6 year old 83 plus and get a new one. I've narrowed it down to these two because I plan on majoring in engineering (electrical, chemical, biomedical, computer (science) or mechanical; still undecided :3). But idk which one to get as the 89 has a button layout akin to my 83, but I've read from numerous sources that the nspire trumps the 89 once you get used to it. However, I've also read that the 89 is much more versatile when it comes to programming. I'm starting at calc 2, so the pretty print on the nspire is a godsend when inputting integrals, but I do know the order of input from my 83, so it wouldn't be that bad, but pretty p

Ib scores Probably not as well known as AP, but IB scores were posted this morning! After 2 brutal years (kinda), I can proudly say that I am a recipient of the IB diploma! English HL: 5 Spanish HL: 5 Biology HL: 7 History SL: 6 Business SL: 5 Math SL: 7 EE and TOK: Both B's. Total: 37 points Nice little surprise with math; honestly thought I got a 6. Otherwise, all the others were what I predicted them to be! Update: Not IB, but my college advisor called and told me I got a 5 on Calc AB (even though most of you probably think it's an easy exam, which it really was) so I guess today was pretty fantastic :)

College Housing Single, Double, Triple, or Quad? Yea...probably a bit late with housing, but better late than never? Anyways, the deadline for guaranteed housing at UMich is on the 7th, so I still have some time to think this over, but would rather get this done soon. I considered rooming with some friends at my school, but I heard stories of how friendships are destroyed because of that, so I should probably go in blind and just meet new people. ~I honestly don't think Id choose single because I really can't stand being in a room all by myself with no one else to talk to...but I hear people have problems with their roommates so Im still keeping that choice open. ~Double would keep me occupied, but I honestly don't know if the room size wil

Calculus Integral Help the problem is find the antiderivative of x/sqrt(1-x^4). First I made x^4 into (x^2)^2 and then used U-substitution to get 2x. Next, i multiplied integral by constant of 1/2 and made the x on top a 2x. Then it became 1/sqrt(1-u^2), whose antiderivative would be arscsin. So my answer was 1/2 * arcsin(x^2). Being a worrywart, I checked my answer using an online integral calculator and they said the answer was -(1/2) * arctan(x^2)...did i mess up somewhere? here is the site i used:
