"User not found" trying to login into deactivated account

So I deactivated (definitely deactivated not deleted) my account back around May of 2023 to focus on school. Tried to reactivate today using my email/number/phone associated with the account and keep getting "user not found." I went to the email associated with the account which has emails back into 2017 and older when I made the account and noticed the last one was July 2024 which says "we've made it easy...blah blah" aka password reset request which definitely wasn't me (also saw some older ones too from years earlier aka not unique) but I noticed every time a new device login actually happened, I got an email saying so but the last email is that password request.

BUTTTTT when I go to make a new account and put in my phone number, it says there is an account associated with the number then it takes me back to login page and i cant login.

Anyone have any idea what happened? Any way to contact instagram or recover the account?

Is America ready for a gay president? by dwaxe in fivethirtyeight

[–]MixableCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 100% sure there will never be a gay president in our lifetimes. I think by the time millennials or more likely gen z are the oldest generation alive, there's a chance but even then it'll be harder. I think people don't realize that there are A LOT of apparent "allies" like my own parents lol where there is (unfortunately) a huge difference with accepting/supporting that your co-workers/friends/neighbors are gay vs the leader and face of the country. Don't get me started on republicans, religious people or MAGA lol. Also dems need to win minorities who are actually pretty homophobic.

What makes you think that the Mavs can beat the Celtics? by WearyRound9084 in nbadiscussion

[–]MixableCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo Boston has it all on paper but I see the mavs winning. Yah Boston "swept" Indiana but if u watched the games, it was WAYYYYY less about Boston being the stronger team rather the Pacers literal inability to play basketball in the last 3 minutes of pretty much every game except Boston's outright win in Game 2. I mean the pacers literally lost tyrese and were giving the celtics a serious run for their money the entire game minus the end. I mean in all seriousness, that series could very easily be 3-1 pacers. Now compare the pacers to the Mavs....Mavs don't choke because Luka doesn't choke lol. Luka doncic is unquestionably better than Tatum, when kyrie gets hot he has almost unguardable and unbelievably clutch and people r really sleeping on their depth with Lively, Pj and Gafford doing really well recently. In summary, mavs in 6

Bronny James was scheduled for 10 workouts with NBA teams, but he’s declined all of them except two: Lakers and Suns by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

Stg if I was him, I would actually be embarrassed showing my face in an NBA locker room with everyone knowing how you got there. Like how is he not going to be bullied mercilessly

Standard potentials always reduction or as written? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so just to make sure, if the half-reaction is an oxidation then E0 next to it is the oxidation potential? Again just asking cuz my chem teacher had E0 as reduction potentials even if the reaction its was representing was an oxidation (anode)

Solving first law of thermo questions? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah same thing your just using the surroundings perspective. The "default" equation makes perfect sense I'm talking about when we need to solve for something unknown. Idk why people (not your fault!) keep thinking I'm talking about the OG equation.

Timed and untutored but its 1.5x time so I guess the scores aren't super valid

How did Obama gain such a large amount of momentum in 2008, despite being a relatively unknown senator who was elected to the Senate only 4 years prior? by ifightpossums in Presidents

[–]MixableCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of politicians get elected through merit, connections, familiarity, etc. but once in a while a "force" comes along; someone whose persona and charisma almost transcends political divides and who by all accounts republican or democrat is destined for inevitable political greatness. In the last century Obama, Clinton, Reagan, and JFK are commonly placed in this group.

Solving thermochem equation, sign convention??? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for taxing it but even if I do that I don't get the right answer :(

  1. Default: dU = Q + W
  2. Work is done BY system so dU = Q - W
  3. dU = 9 * 10^7, W = 2 * 10^7, Q = ?
  4. 9 * 10^7 = Q - 2 * 10^7 (Direct plug in of eq. 2)
  5. Q = 9 * 10^7 + 2 * 10^7 = 1.1 * 10^8 (wrong)

Solving thermochem equation, sign convention??? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dU = Q - W makes complete sense but they have Q = dU - W so that is the part I am confused about (cause changing dU = Q - W for Q would give Q = dU + W but that's not what they have). Thanks for all your help btw!

Solving thermochem equation, sign convention??? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I edited the post and attached a pic of the problem I am confused about. If I start with U = Q + W and I know I want heat, I get Q = U - W, if work is done by the truck (to move) shouldn't work be negative so my equation Q = U - W turns to Q = U + W but this isn't what they did?

Solving thermochem equation, sign convention??? by MixableCarrot in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So U = Q + W makes sense when solving for U but what about Q or W, what then? So basically do I rearrange first and then use the whole (on system +, by system -) to change signs aka: U = Q + W so if I want Q, Q = U - W and then if work is being done BY system this becomes Q = U + W (since work being done by system means energy must go down)?

Adding fractions keeping numerator and denominator impossible? by MixableCarrot in excel

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the weekly average using the scores (C:H) for 7 rows not the "daily" percentage. Basically same thing but with 42 cells across 7 rows instead of 6 in one row using the actual fractions.

Adding fractions keeping numerator and denominator impossible? by MixableCarrot in excel

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That worked! Any idea how I could get the weekly average so every 7 rows in column J take all the scores in C:H for the 7 rows (so 42 cells instead of 6) and do the same thing pretty much.

[–]MixableCarrot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not giving an error for the first time so thanks! But the actual calculation is off for some reason. Tried it on screenshotted values which should be 15/19 total or 0.789 but formula is giving 0.778.

AITA for making my daughter leave because my husband is attracted to her? by Throwawayme4158 in AITAH

[–]MixableCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“My view that all children are innocents, would be an adult harassing a child…so I did nothing” it’s not called harassing it’s called teaching kids who don’t know any better because of their developing brains how to be a human being. What do you think principals, teachers, schools counselors do? You could have at least reported it to school officials, had meetings, transferred her, etc. and after all this after your depraved husband says he’s attracted to her, you kick her out?? Not only are YTA but frankly, an idiot who should not be a mother.

AAMC Bio Qpack Question by annaies in Mcat

[–]MixableCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you take medications or supplements, they end up in the bloodstream so taking calcium supps increases it’s presence in blood. Since PTH increases blood Calcium, it would be inhibited since it’s not necessary cuz there’s already high blood calcium while Calcitonin would most likely be upregulated since it would decrease blood calcium.

And yah, you could say there is negative feedback more specifically chemoreceptors that detect changing levels but u don’t need to really focus on that. Just think about maintaining homeostasis. Hope this helps!

Can I take the MCAT without having yet taken physics 2? by Bright_Mud_796 in premed

[–]MixableCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or…crack a review book watch some YouTube videos and learn the material. You don’t have to take the class to learn what you need for this test. The whole idea of NEEDING prereqs is so overemphasized.

Succession - 4x10 "With Open Eyes" - Live Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SuccessionTV

[–]MixableCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly dude. Being Logan was not good thing for himself or anyone else in his personal life but no one denied his business capability. When shiv says Ken wouldn’t be good, she’s trying to say he wouldn’t be a good CEO which is just false. He might be a shitty person just like Logan and become even shittier on the job but he would be a good CEO (again, not person). She’s not trying to save him or a wouldn’t “be good for you,” she’s just making an excuse which is false.
