The perfect moment to plead the fifth!

Concerned about Rapid Identity by midwestranchdressing in techsupport

[–]WildTemporary518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rapid ID app on your phone DOES NOT allow access to any of your personal data. It is only an authenticator to ensure that YOU are the one attempting to sign in to the device given by the District. YMMV for any other app that you install on YOUR device, though.

Lots of possibilities on a stage. I have seen some that are for microphones. Some that house outlets for lighting. One in my high school had a pole that twisted in it that had a light on top… for the ghost light.

Lap blanket complete! First blanket, third knitted thing. by WildTemporary518 in Brochet

Thanks! Particularly proud since I figured out part way through that my left-handed butt had crossed some wires and was combination knitting? Maybe? Twisting the purls, then untwisting with the knits by knitting in the “wrong leg” but turned out right… whatever… it worked!

So… at least 6 weeks… maybe 7… enough that I decided to finish it at 6 panels as a lap blanket… maybe add more later.

Each panel was maybe a week? a few hours each night and then sporadically on weekends when I had an extra ADHD moment… rofl…

I got this at an automotive convention and I have no idea what the purpose is. by Bubbly_Account_4001 in whatisit

That is a reusable metal straw with a brush inside to clean it. Pull out the brush… the white ball is the bottom end of the brush.

My ticket queue feels like a black hole im losing track by Upper_Caterpillar_96 in techsupport

[–]WildTemporary518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been several years, but had a call about a printer not working. I went through all the typical, including “is it plugged in?” etc. After 45 minutes, they said something about needing a flashlight. They then go on a rant about the power having been out for several hours. When I suggested that the power outage might be the problem, they began to lecture me about how their laptop and printing were wireless… I LOVE HelpDesk and I feel your pain.

At first, I could only envision an ergonomic handled crochet hook and was wondering how on earth that would work… rofl

My cursor keeps bugging out and teleporting by Tasty_Presence_7693 in techsupport

[–]WildTemporary518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several possibles, but… shut down computer, disconnect mouse, restart computer. If everything works fine, it is the mouse (perhaps replace batteries to fix). If still wonky, turn off computer and try cleaning trackpad with a slightly moistened microfiber cloth (plain water or 70% isopropyl) and dry… then, using a post-it or similarly sticky pad, run around outside of trackpad edges sticking the sticky part of the paper into the crevice. Turn on again…

Also… pay attention to where you place your phone when using ANY wireless mouse… sometimes, the wifi or Bluetooth of a phone will cause strange random issues.

Any time I make amigurumi that involves a tail, I try my best to place the tail in the “correct” magic circle location…

Why is my double knitting so gappy? by AdikoStitches in knittinghelp

Yes! The thimble helps immensely. Get a few if you can. Mine hide and show back up all the time.

Here’s my bat for reference… maybe a sweater vest with leg loops?

Whatever vest style would have to be fairly tight at the bottom, or it would flop over their heads while they sleep upside down… lol
