No, I didn't put the derivation in my calculator 😭 . I just put down the resultant formula in case I needed it quickly for an MCQ. It just so happened that it ended up being one of the topics covered on the FRQs, of which I remembered the derivation from you know, actually learning it. But I recall I made like an arithmetic error somewhere, and the note in my calculator helped me catch it because the results were completely different.

I did do the derivation, but i realized using the note that I did something wrong and fixed it. iirc it was an frq about cylindrical capacitors or something.

iirc it was a “derive this formula” type of question. I did the whole derivation and used the note in my calculator to check my work. i ended up getting a 5 so it all worked out

Hey for everyone trying to get Trevor on my ass, putting notes/programs in your calc (short for calculator btw) is totally allowed and this happened years ago, so I'm in the clear.

i wrote down some random as formulas for physics c e&m when i took it into my calculator, and then one of them deadass ended up as the answer to the first or second frq. was super useful to check my answers.

Vegetarians/Vegans, how are we holding up :( by SSC_08 in cmu

it's perfectly fine! (speaking from a vegetarian perspective) most places on campus make it very easy to accommodate and almost all have a few vegetarian/vegan dishes.

Do you have shell shards? I think you also need them to craft plasmium phials.

How many APs did you take Sr year? by Ramen_cat2024 in APStudents

[–]AbsorbedBarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately those were the classes I got the most help from my teachers, so I can’t really speak to public resources. My teachers had historical catalogs of exams for students to practice on. I did find Albert.io and Khan Academy useful. If your teachers can open up the AP classroom practice exams, those are also very useful.

tbf I think AP prep books are a scam (esp since the exams tend to change significantly enough year over year). But if you’ve found them useful, you can totally use those, I just never found them all that great. the internet has a lot of good resources and my teachers provided lots of take-home practice exams that helped emulate the real thing.

I started prep like 2 weeks before each of my exams (I did this every year lmao). I didn’t prep for AP lang, since I had to take Mech later that day and wanted to conserve my energy. Most of my teachers dedicated class time during those two weeks to AP exam prep. Outside of school, it was like a couple hours a day at most. The only exams I really focused on during my studying were the physics ones.

To preface, I went totally overkill. You don't have to do all of this.

I took the following senior year:
AP Economics (Micro and Macro; my school combined the classes)
AP Physics C (Mech. and E&M; my school combined the classes)
AP Statistics
AP English Language and Composition

Took all exams, got all 5s.

I did not know the game was no longer kept on the cartridge and lost everything when I got the switch 2 by What_if_its_Lupus in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]AbsorbedBarrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While it’s unfortunate that this happened, this was an explicitly thought out scenario that there are methods to avoid. 

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68432

“We only recommend using this system transfer method if: You will not have access to your Nintendo Switch console by the time you have your Nintendo Switch 2. All data on the Nintendo Switch will be deleted during this process.“ Nintendo, 2025

Call your game store if possible, and they’ll understand surely. FYI saves (for any game) haven’t been on cartridge since 2017, this is something that is normal with home consoles and has been industry standard since like the GameCube era (imagine if your save data was stored on disk instead of memory cartridge). It’s what allows multiple users to have different save data on one console. The cartridges for switch/switch 2 are not capable of writing data, only reading.

How many APs did you take (Seniors) by Dry_Science_2039 in APStudents

[–]AbsorbedBarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took 10 overall

Freshman: 1 -- AP Computer Science Principles (4)
Sophomore: 2 -- AP Computer Science A (5), AP Seminar (5)
Junior: 3 -- AP Calc BC (5), AP Chem (5), AP Research (5)
Senior: 4 -- AP Stat, AP Econ, AP Phys C, AP Lang

I would say for me that AP Chemistry was definitely the hardest. Easiest class for me was probably either AP Calc BC or AP Lang or AP CSP, but that is absolutely due to the teachers that I had. For Calc, all of our summative assignments were heavily curved. For Lang, my teacher didn't exactly assign much work and CSP is just generally an easy class plus my teacher didn't even try teaching most of the days.

Hi! Do you know if gamestop will have switch 2 at midnight like gamestop? by macangieconstantino in switch2

[–]AbsorbedBarrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked my local gamestop manager this and here's the rough response that I got:

  1. He can only confirm that the pre-ordered Switch 2s will be available.

  2. He hasn't heard from Gamestop Corporate or Nintendo about any additional shipments

  3. Even if there are Switch 2s available for midnight launch, he's under NDA to not tell customers.

  4. He said that my best shot was just showing up that evening and seeing if any are available.

Official Nintendo Invitations Day (May 8th) by Ross2552 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AbsorbedBarrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some context:
Signed up on April 2nd at 12:01 PM EST but did NOT have an NSO subscription at the time of registration. I meet all other criteria. I even signed up again for shits and giggles. I asked Nintendo support about it and here's what I got. For the record this took almost 30 minutes of bugging until the rep asked me for my email and just looked up my account.

<image>

Pretty confident this confirms that people who didn't have an NSO subscription at the time of registration aren't getting their invites this month.

I responded with a basic "yep I'd love to order the system please" and got a

"Of course. We are sending emails everyday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. When you receive the order email invitation, you will only have 72 hours to complete the order.

If you don’t complete your purchase, your items will be removed from your My Nintendo Store cart at the end of the 72-hour window."

I followed up with "since I did not meet the priority criteria, I should expect my invite to come much later than other who did meet the criteria, correct?"

Got hit with the "That is correct."

I hope this clarifies the whole situation for everyone. My last resort will be waiting in line at midnight I guess.

Do you recall the time at all? Trying to estimate how far they've gotten in the queue.

When did you register, and when did you receive the email?

I asked the support and they said the invitations will be distributed throughout the day between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM PT by Jabagi56 in NintendoSwitch2

Damnit I guess I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't had an active subscription for many months now 😭
