USB EXTENSION NOT DOING IT

So normally I have this USB card reader in this USB extension cable. Today instead of plugging the passport drive into the front of the PC I plugged it into the extension. Well it lit the light up, but did not actually see the drive. For a moment I though "how can it be dead, I only use it once a month for 10 minutes". Then I plugged it into the front of the PC and it worked fine. So I'm guessing there is a lot of loss in the cable. It works quite fine for the card reader and none of the thousands of photos I've transferred with it where scrambled. But I guess there is just enough loss to not properly power the drive. I have to say though, it was the lowest priced one on the shelf when I got it one day at Staples. No idea what the brand is even - it does not say on it.

I had the worse case of the shits in my life about 5 years ago. I went to the can and exploded. Well It was dripping off my ass and the seat of the toilet. When I got up you could see the outline of my man bits was the only clean spot. I had to jump in the shower. Never had anything like that happen again - thank GOD. Then there was a time maybe 15 years back. I went to the men's room at a local supermarket. Well it is frequented by old people mostly at that time - however now it's a more young crowd. Well I opened the door to the normal stall not wanting to use the disabled one. I looks in and the toilet and 3 walls have shit all over them. It's like someone took a 5 gallon pail of crap and tossed it on the walls. If this was not intentional, someone had to have died doing this. At a cafe we used to go to there was a guy who would smear poop on the walls in the men's room. For weeks this went on and the manager had a bounty on his head. Well a friend of mine

It's Freaking Spam - AKA How To Get Away With Spamming YouTube

Image
Yeah... NO... It's not because it contains a link, it's because it's fucking spam. See they get a small amount of your ad revenue if you use their fucking content. This is why some people set up the content ID system and register literally everything and then say "free to use" - then they get a slice of the pie. Kind of makes me wonder because I have seen a persons OWN reply to a comment on their OWN video go into the spam box - then we get some "I love you, check out the video I did of you" in the comments 76 billion times and it's NOT marked as spam. BTW don't click the freaking link on that thing - it's a virus. Unless you want a few months down the road to have your hard drive encrypted and asked to pay money, don't click shit. Short links are NEVER a good idea. BTW this BOT above is what you call 3rd party spam. They pay someone a few bucks then they launch the bots. This way when the channel gets taken down, they still have thei

My Jigsaws Galore Collection

Image
I been using Jigsaws Galore for many years and it was money well spent. You can make your own puzzles and as you see, I really have done that. it's about 40% my own stuff and 40% stuff that was free to download for personal use. The other 20% is the extra downloads that where given out by the creator on his web page over the years and the ones that came with the program to start with. I'll be doing them for years to come I'm sure.

Café Gioia Espresso Review

Image
Grounds smell earthy. Smell is mild smelling and not overly complex. Just like regular discount coffee. Taste is dark, slightly bitter and a hint of dark chocolate and a very slight hint of hazelnut. Slightly burnt after taste and I was careful not to over brew it, so it is not on my end. Rating: 5/10 – but it is rather inexpensive.
