Can anyone tell me why I can't log into my hotmail/live account? I couldn't remember my password today, so I made a new account, wrote down the password and reset the password for the old account. I then log out and find I still can't log into my old account with the new password I made. I log back into the new one to check the reset mail to see if I did anything wrong, but nope. I log out and try the old account and it finally works. I decide to add my new account to the list of e-mails I can send reset e-mails to, but when I do that it tells me to provide the password for the new account and it won't accept the one I wrote down for the new account or the one for the old. I'm getting a bit frustrated so I log out and try logging into my new one again, but it tells me I have the wrong pass/e-mail. I then try to log into my old one, but it won't accept any passwords either. Thankfully I've provided my phone number to both accounts, so I ask for a single-use code. I receive it on my phone and punch it in where it says "single-use code," but then it tells me I have the incorrect password or e-mail again.  I know I don't have the wrong e-mail since I wouldn't have gotten a single-use code if I did, and I've tried punching in the code several times, so I'm pretty sure that's correct. I've also sent for a new code several times, but it never works.

Nightblade posted:Can anyone tell me why I can't log into my hotmail/live account? Assuming hotmail isn't broken, which is a possibility, there could be several different reasons. Accidentally hitting caps lock is a pretty common mistake with passwords, especially if your password contains the letter A. And depending on the font, it's pretty easy to mistake the letters O and Q with each other, and the number 0, or a lowercase L with an I. Since password fields usually just show up as something like *********, you can always open up a program like notepad, type in your password as plaintext, then copy/paste your password into the password box. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jul 14, 2013 |

Yeah, I tried typing it into notepad and it showed up exactly as it should, but it still didn't work. Everything works, today though, so I guess Hotmail was just having problems.

Suzuki Method posted:I have a question I need a few more opinions on. In mid-late June I went across the border to the US (I'm Canadian) via car to go visit my friend and his roommate for a week. When I was at the border, I was stopped and brought into a room for questioning. I'm a white, young adult girl and I have heard that they have been stopping young girls who have been travelling alone more often because they could be mules or something. Hey there fellow Canuckian!  It sounds like you were one of those "Random winners of the day!" when you went over. Going on a bus as a group is a very different experience. First of all when you book your ticket they have to give the Americans your info in advance of going across for convenience reasons ahead of time. They almost never come in and bother passengers for 'random winners of the day' poo poo. You're a tourist on vacation and they want the money you are going to be spending. Also it's actually pretty handy that you got stopped not that long ago and raked over the coals because that is going to be showing up when your info is entered into the system. They brought you in and specifically looked for a problem and found nothing. Welcome to the US! Please spend your moolah! edit: the only reason that you would be denied entry is: outstanding offences, history of offences, warrants, or oddly enough tax evasion. Other than these you're golden and really were just stopped as a random look through everything check. SilverSliver fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Jul 14, 2013 |

A guy on the street asked me if I had "an 80." I am pretty sure I didn't have one, but what is that anyway? I think its drugs, but Google only wants to tell me about drugs in the 80's.

I'm guessing he meant "8 ball" which I think is an eighth of an ounce of coke (not sure). Never heard just "eighty" before. Maybe it was for weed too.

Here in Houston, an 80 is an 80mg Oxycontin. "Yo duder, can I score an 80?" is something I hear relatively frequently in my shitass neighborhood.

Not the best quality pic, but is this likely a termite or could it be something else? These are pretty tiny, smaller than I would imagine a typical termite, but I'm in Canada too so our bugs aren't massive.

I busted my compact camera when I somehow pushed the on button while it was in my pocket (rolling in bed). The mechanism that extends the lens is jammed, and I've sent it away for repairs. Is there a model of compact camera that can resist this?

Might be a UK-specific question here. It seems like BT have cut off my telephone line (for being a few days late with payment?), but my broadband's still working. If I don't pay the reconnection fee will my broadband keep on working, or will that eventually cut off too?

Dudebro posted:Not the best quality pic, but is this likely a termite or could it be something else? These are pretty tiny, smaller than I would imagine a typical termite, but I'm in Canada too so our bugs aren't massive. This is a book louse in the genus Liposcelis. They are cosmopolitan and very common indoors. It won't destroy your walls, as they feed on mold and fungi, but it could be an indication that it's damp and moldy somewhere if you suddenly see a lot of them. Aside from that, they're completely harmless. Keep a lookout for pseudoscorpions, though! Some common species specialize in feeding on booklice, so if you see something shaped like a scorpion with tiny pincers, but only a few mm long, it's probably a Chelifer canceroides.

Runcible Cat posted:I'd paid the bill a week before I noticed I hadn't got a ringtone. So it may even be unrelated, but nothing's showing up on the fault tests and BT's notoriously lovely at interdepartmental communications - they won't tell you you've been cut off if you run a fault test. Then why would BT cut off your broadband? If it is like the US then you can have Internet even without any phone service. Just because they come on the same wire doesn't mean they'd lock you off from both.

You can have broadband without a phone line, it was briefly an option with sky and obviously any service supplied by fibre or cable can do it.

Runcible Cat posted:That's what I mean. BT supplies my line. They don't supply my broadband. If the phone line is cut off doesn't it affect the broadband? Does it eventually affect the broadband if BT eventually assign Idon'tfuckingknowwhatidentifiersorconnectorstheyuse to some other phone line? Think of it this way: BT are cutting your phone service. The phone line is a bit of wire from your house to their box and it is either used to provide BT's phone service, or the other company's broadband service (for which they pay BT a fee to use the line)

If I don't pay the reconnection fee will my broadband keep on working, or will that eventually cut off too? If you have ADSL then your internet connection relies on the physical phone line existing. If you have naked ADSL then that's all it relies on. If you have regular ADSL then you also need the line to be connected. But being disconnected by BT may not actually be them disconnecting the line, they may just be blocking you from making calls, in which case your internet would be completely unaffected. You may even still be able to receive calls. If you contact them and tell them your phone's not working they'll probably be able to tell you why, and if they never sent you a letter saying "pay now or we disconnect you" then they'll probably just reconnect it for you (if that's even what happened). You may have to make a nuisance of yourself if you want it reconnected ASAP and for free, but if you weren't even late enough with your payment to get the disconnection warning then you should really be able to get it restored without any additional fees.

Thanks for the tips, I'm quite young and that was my first time going across the border by myself so I had no clue what to expect or why I was grilled. I guess I can ease up on my anxiety about being denied entry now.

Can anyone explain what's up with Youtube lately? It seems like it's having a really hard time streaming videos or just loading them in the background to watch in a few minutes even at lower resolutions (ie not 720p or 1080p). I imagine it's something on their end (or some obscure connection setting on my end) that's making videos load slow 90% of the time because my connection speed is very good, but I can't be sure since this sort of thing is outside my areas of expertise. Also, is there anything I can do (aside from that firewall rule "trick") on my end to help YT along?

That looks a lot like petrified wood only it's black... could it be petrified coal? Or volcanic glass? What does it feel like, is it light or heavy, does it feel brittle?

My leather watch straps tend to get really messed up by dirt and sweat over time, becoming black and smelly and cracked. I'm thinking of switching to resin, but is there perhaps something I can put on them to protect the leather?

I've been watching The West Wing and The Newsroom and I wondered if there was a writer out there that does similar preaching, but from the other side It's difficult, if not outright impossible by definition, for the other side of the spectrum (it's hard to call it conservative because it's really not...it's more Authoritative) to be self-deprecating which is a requirement for comedy and/or competent writing. It's why you really don't have a good parity to things like "The Daily Show". In fact Newsroom COULD be considered a conservative POV as its addressing issues with the current Republican party by a self-identifying conservative and the fact that it’s not generally accepted as such should be telling.

Does anybody know why an Amazon seller would list dozens (if not hundreds) of items, all for a very high price? They're obviously not worth the price, or they're pretty generic things that won't sell, like the picture below. The first time I figured it might be some software going wrong, but I've seen it several times across different sellers. Edit: sorry for table breaking, I'd edit it down but I can't change the attachment.

axolotl farmer posted:White phosphrous catches fire spontaneously in air, and why would it lie around randomly on beaches? The white phosphorus is still wet when you pick it up on the beach and your body heat dries it enough so it spontaneously combusts in your pockets. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18926385 As I said, Long Island isn't exactly "Baltic Sea" and I doubt they have a lot of white phosphorus ammunition floating around there but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. There's also this article, but take with a grain of salt I suppose: http://doubtfulnews.com/2012/05/mystery-beach-rocks-cause-serious-burns-for-california-woman/ e: This might be a bit more believable than "doubtfulnews.com" and it's also pretty recent: http://www.caribbean360.com/index.php/news/puerto_rico_news/675918.html#axzz2Z7w4C72i There's a bunch of other examples, but basically I'm just saying I'm not completely insane
