RESTORING CHROME'S BOOKMARKS


Chrome has this annoying habit of randomly removing all, some or most of your bookmarks for literally no reason. This is how to fix that:

 ~ Close Chrome and do the following. Might want to copy this text to a text file or something for reference.

 ~ C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

 ~ "NAME" is your user name by the way.

 ~ Find Bookmarks and Bookmarks.bak

 ~ Rename Bookmarks to Bookmarks.old

 ~ Rename Bookmarks.bak to Bookmarks

 ~ Restart Chrome and your Bookmarks should now be back where you left them.

 Older versions of windows will have the files in a different location in a folder in C: called "Documents and Settings" - depending on the version of windows it can be a bit hard to find actually. An example is XP has it in "C:\Documents and Settings\NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"

 You might want to keep a backup of the bookmarks someplace other than in the AppData location as well, just in case. By the way, after you restore the Bookmarks, the icons for them will mostly be gone until you visit the site again.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

Gifted (2017) A Review

Image
Gifted (2017)  Is the story of a 7 year old girl and her uncle who is taking care of her. The child is extremely gifted in the field of mathematics. This runs in the family, as her mother was as well, and so was her grandmother. To a lesser extent her uncle was also very intelligent. We pick up the story when the uncle is fixing boats freelance and taking care of the girl in a small rental home in Florida. He has schooled her at home before she goes to school (1st grade) and the teacher realized just how smart she is and how much knowledge of math she actually has. To say the least most people on earth don't have the knowledge of math that this 7 year old has. Enter the grandmother and we find out that the girls mother killed herself and that the uncle blames himself for not seeing the signs before it was too late. The grandmother wants the child to go home with her and to be schooled in math the was she schooled her daughter (the child mom). After a legal battle, the child ends up...
