Status: USB flash drives plugged into my USB hub do not work. But if I plug them into a hub that's plugged into the hub, it works. I really shouldn't have to hang a small extra hub off my big 14-port main hub for things to work.

Too real.

I rearranged my computer room yesterday, and when I plugged my computer in again, Windows recognizes my keyboard, (wired) mouse, and spinning rust USB drives, but not my external hub, wireless mouse dongle, WiFi dongle, or USB flash drives. The biggest problem is the lack of WiFi since I don't have a wired network connection available, either.

@HardwareGeek I recently upgraded to a 14-port hub on this laptop because my previous hub was full (I use the hub like a dock to transform the laptop into a desktop with mostly just one connection). It's the same brand as the previous one, but this one just seems flaky. Besides the flash drive issue, my mouse likes to not work until I've unplugged/reconnected it a few times. It's a powered hub, too, and it's certainly not a power issue because these things work just fine if I connect them to a 4-port unpowered hub that's plugged into the flaky one.
I hate computers.

@mott555 I just realized there was one thing I didn't try, plugging the WiFi dongle into a front-panel instead of rear-panel USB port. Huzzah! Windows recognizes it in that port. My desktop has network again.

Stop washing for a few days. The smell should be a pretty good approximation of the real thing.

@Tsaukpaetra Is there such thing as expected heart palpitations?

Why, yes. Very heavy exercise or other external stimuli comes to mind.

Just did that again, and at least I got some interesting things to read along the way.

I hate computers.
And I found a workaround. If I plug the flash drive into the 14-port hub, then power-cycle the hub, it will detect the drive when it powers back up.
-
@mott555 I have a USB hub that I use for my mouse and keyboard. It's also got built in card reader slots, but that's not important other than maybe drawing some extra power than the hub would without them. Most of the time, when I switch the hub between my home desktop and work computer, it works just fine, but sometimes, for whatever reason, the mouse and keyboard fail to chooch until the computer is restarted.

status In the TIL category... my laptop does the equivalent of AltPrtScn when I press FnS. Found that out when my finger was off-by-1 and missed the Ctrl key. I wonder what other hidden goodies are in there. This explains some of the sudden "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED" things when I'm typing...

Stage 0: find paperwork
Stage 1: enter invoices
Stage 2: enter inventory
Stage 3: enter sales
Stage 4: figure out WTF is wrong with data from stages 1-3
Stage 5: five minutes clicking through Turbo TaxSurprisingly little out of sync this year, considering what a cluster 2018's output was and 2019's everything was.
- 10 inventory items I can't identify yet. Target receipts are not helpful on that front. Mr Scott will have to verify torpedo inventory visually.
- 3 items sold that were recorded too ambiguously to tell exactly what they are.
- 5 items sold that are either not in inventory or unidentified inventory.
- 4 items sold but not recorded (only in memory) so the details of when aren't there.
- 1-2 items from an April show I can't find records for yet.
- ? fixed expenses I still need to track down like hotel receipts. Shouldn't be too difficult (famous last words)...
Edit: Spent all night scraping the bottom of the barrel (or my floorboards).
- Deduced enough details for the 4 unrecorded sales. Yay!
- Found receipt for 1 sold item I knew wasn't among the mystery items. Yay!
- Still verifying the fixed expenses but there weren't many. Worst case I won't be able to deduct meals.
- Still need to find the April 2019 notes. Boo-urns.
Resolving the mystery inventory and ambiguous sale problems is just going to be tedious. I need to print out an inventory list and check stuff off as I confirm it's still here.

That’s not his personal bathroom, that’s his training site.

Status: Well darn. Looks like the frozen cookie dough that didn't include milk (or milk ingredients) as an ingredient must have had some trace amounts in it. Which sucks. Guess I get to throw that out. It was so convenient, being able to just slice off a chunk and bake it.

You're supposed to bake it? (I loved raw cookie dough as a kid. Well, still do, but I stopped making/eating that now. Damned diabetes...)

Same, but I'm trying to be better. I still ate quite a bit of scraps uncooked. But not now, the itchy and gut upset isn't worth it. I'm not anaphylactic allergic to milk, just like lactose intolerance that can't be fixed with pills.
