I was trying to format my USB drive and accidentally ran a quick format on my hard drive partition instead, so naturally, all my data just vanished into thin air... Is there actually anything I can do to get it back?

There’s plenty of room left, so the first thing I did was clear out a bunch of junk files... My anti-malware software flagged a few nasty bits and wiped them clean, but honestly, it hasn't really done anything for the performance. As for the Task Manager, everything looks pretty normal on that front. I can see there's a Windows update waiting, but I just can't bring myself to believe that's the culprit. It feels more like a hardware issue, though I haven't the slightest clue how to go about testing that...

Hey there

My little brother picked up a new PC less than three years ago, but lately, everything has just been crawling... even trying to play Fortnite is a disaster, dropping down to like 2 FPS.

You can check out the specs here; he's running Windows 10. We've tried the usual stuff—cleaning out the system, using various apps to free up some space—but honestly, nothing seems to touch it, and even though the CPU temps look fine, the performance is just trashed...

Thanks for any help you can give

I know I need to get to the dentist, but it’s honestly easier said than done. Plus, for some reason, local anesthesia just doesn't touch me, so I end up feeling absolutely everything they do...

Those prescription painkillers you mentioned are the exact same ones I told you don't work against the kind of pain I'm dealing with right now. That's why I'm looking for some other way out...

Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong sub...

I’ve been dealing with a few health issues, but the one that’s been dragging me down the longest is my teeth—they're honestly in pretty rough shape. Every once in a while, out of nowhere, the pain just hits and stays in waves for a week or two, maybe even three, before finally letting up, and those stretches are absolute torture...

I'm right in the middle of one of those episodes now, and since standard painkillers aren't doing a damn thing (I'm currently pounding Advil 600 mg and it hasn't helped one bit), the idea of trying opioids is starting to look more and more tempting. It seems like everyone over in the West is on stuff like Oxy or whatever, whereas here in the States, I haven't really noticed it being that common—I personally don't know anyone who actually uses them—so I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with that kind of stuff. Everything from how you actually get a prescription to any general advice you might have...

Hey everyone. Every single summer for the last few years, as soon as the heat starts kicking in, I get these fungal infections under my armpits without fail... sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right.

If I just leave them alone, they’re mostly fine, but they sting like crazy if I touch them, or if water hits them in the shower, or even just from moving my arms around too much. And don't even get me started on the smell, which is honestly pretty unbearable.

I need some advice. Should I go see my doctor, or just grab some over-the-counter cream at CVS? Also, is it okay to let the infection stay damp?
