4 AnswersComputer Networking5 years agoMy flash drive is suddenly missing files.?
I have a Micro Center 64 GB USB flash drive. It had about 1000 pictures from my wedding, as well as some important files from another computer. I recently tried to use it to boot an OS onto a laptop that crashed. It didn't work.
Anyway, after that, I put it into a working laptop, but now I can't find any of the other files that were on it previously. They weren't deleted as far as I know or even moved and they were on there before. Is there a way to find them again because alll I can see is the files for the OS I tried to put onto the other computer.
Other - Computers5 years agoThinking of a job at Dave and Busters but need advice please.?
I am 27 living with my wife who makes a 6 figure salary. Since, by her words, I helped her get the job she has she wants me to get a job that I would enjoy. Pay and benefits are not a major factor and we don't have kids. (nor will we ever for other reasons)
I have a passion for video games beyond just playing them so being in am environment surrounded by arcades would be great. The two open positions are for the Winners Circle, which is where people redeem tickets and get prizes.
The other is for an Arcade Technician. Unfortunately I have no formal knowledge or understanding as to how arcades work but I would absolutely love to learn. This would be the position I'd rather have but I could settle for the former as well and maybe learn on the side.
5 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment5 years agoGamestop or Half-Price Books for a job?
I am 27 male in Ohio. I have been working the same job in retail for 7 and a half years. While the pay and benefits are good, I'm just not happy with it anymore.
My wife is a manager for a theater/restaurant and is clearly the bread winner. She has a future to be making up to 6 or even 7 figures. Since I helped her in getting that kind of job, she's encouraged me to find a job that would make me happy again, regardless of benefits or pay.
With that in mind, my 2 favorite pass times are video games and reading. With video games being my bigger interest (beyond just playing them hours on end, I enjoy the culture and talking about it and so forth) I've considered a job at Gamestop. I am comfortable woth customers, I understand and know the product, and because of my retail experience I am well aware of the other aspects of the business. I don't know that I would be making a career out of it. Store manager would probably be as high as I would go.
As for Half-Price Books, I think it would help to re ignite my passion for reading again. My knowledge is probably much more limited in this field, but i feel with my experience in retail, it wouldnt take long to figure out.
So between the 2, not too concerned with benefits or pay (though of course the one with better pay is more appealing) which should I go with?
5 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment5 years agoLooking to buy an electronic drum set and need some suggestions?
About 4 years ago, I had to sell my acoustic drum set after moving into an apartment. I just didn't have room for it nor could I play it, being in an apartment and all.
Now that I own a house, I'd like to use some tax return money to get one again. The reason I am going electronic is because it will take up less space in a room and will be easier to move out of the way when we have guests.
So I need some advice and recommendations on different sets to possibly purchase. I am not looking to spend a fortune, just one to mess around on from time to time and maybe play with friends. Something under $1000 would be great.
Thanks in advance.
1 AnswerOther - Entertainment5 years agoTrying to find 'hole in the wall' kind of places.?
So I have been trying to find little places that aren't real well known to everyone, but are kind of a little secret place. I'm not looking to go to a big place like an amusement park or a place that everyone knows about, I'm talking about places that not everyone may know about, but are still a cool place to go and visit.
For example, The Book Loft in Columbus, Ohio. A really neat place with a ton of rooms that are floor to ceiling with books. I never knew about it until I heard it from a friend of a friend, so to speak. There have been a few restaurants that are the same way. Not widely know except to the people that live in the area.
I guess that's what I mean, places that aren't really tourist attractions, but are well known to the people that live near it, if that makes any sense.
So what I am asking is, is there a site that may have info on places to go to like that or does anyone here know of such little places? I live in Ohio in the Cincinnati area. I'm willing to travel as far as Columbus but I'd prefer places closer to here.
Thanks, I hope I explained all that well.
3 AnswersOther - United States5 years agoI have a 1994 Toyota Camry LE 4 Cyl that won't turn over.?
Battery and engine are all perfectly fine, been driving it with no problems. I just got it home, and then about an hour later went to leave and the car won't turn over. Everything else works just fine but I get nothing from the engine. It's almost like an anti-theft sort of thing but there is no security light and I can not figure out how to unlock it if there is one.

1 AnswerOther - Entertainment5 years agoExporting and Importing E-Books?
I have a lot of e-books on the Amazon Kindle program on my computer. Most of these books I did not get through Amazon, but are available to use and read in the application.
I don't have a Kindle reader or anything like that, but I do have the Kindle app on my phone. Since a lot of the e-books I have are not from Amazon, is there anyway I can get them onto my phone to read them on the go? A way to transfer them to my phone?
My Amazon account does not recognize the non-Amazon e-books, but they are there when I use the program offline on my PC. How do I get those e-books that Amazon doesn't recognize online to my phone?
I'm very new to Kindle so all help is appreciated.
Books & Authors6 years agostalling problem with 1994 Toyota Camry?
I have been trying to figure out what is causing my 94 camry 4cyl to stall out while driving. I have done a lot of different fixes and have narrowed down the issue, but still have not found a solution.
The car starts and idles perfectly fine as if there is nothing wrong with it. I can even drive it around for a while. But as soon as I stop and then take off, it stalls out.
Now, repairs I have done so far are replacing the fuel filter, changed out all spark plugs and caps, checked for leaking fuel (None), cleaned out all air filters and hoses and such, done all the little fixes here and there, but to no avail.
One thing I did notice, while I had the car running, I can push the throttle all the way up and rev the engine all the way without it stalling IF I do it slowly. But if I try to do it quickly, that is push the throttle from idle to rev the engine quickly, that is when it stalls out and dies.
My next steps, from what I can figure, is maybe there is a fuel pump issue, or a fuel pump relay issue, or even an oxygen sensor issue.
I am looking to get any other ideas on what it could be. Also, is there a way to test to see if the fuel pump is working without having to take it out of the gas tank?

3 AnswersToyota6 years agoCats pooping outside of box. Why?
So my cats have recently been pooping outside of their litter box. I can't figure out why. This didn't start until I changed litter types one day (The store was out of the kind I usually get). So I thought maybe because of the litter change, they didn't like it so they did their business outside of the box.
But after I changed back to the usual litter type, they continue to do this.
The litter box is enclosed with a flap door. They have used this box for a few years now, and have never had a problem with it. They get along fine, and we even got a large dog back in July of 2014. Yet they all get along with each other just fine.
(Also, the cats were doing this before the dog arrived)
I thought of maybe trying an open litter box, but the problem is that our dog has easy access to it and sometimes eats the poop if it's outside the box. Leaving the box open I think she would eat it out of the box.
I clean it regularly, inside and out, always putting in fresh new litter. It is never over filled with their feces that would suggest that it is too full for them to go in it. They do their business inside the box still, but it seems like they also do it outside the box as well.
One thing I am looking into, however, is that I think only one of them is doing it, I just havn't figured out which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions or anything to try that I have not already? Thank you in advance.
2 AnswersCats6 years agoCan't remember the title of a certain video game?
There was a game I played a long time ago that I barely remember. I think it was on SNES. You played as a kid I think, and at the beginning I believe he's watching TV. Some dude appears, saying something, then takes your temperature. The thermometer reaches all the way to the top and explodes, and then the guy sends you somewhere.
I know it sounds obscure but I distinctly remember this game that way.
