still no luck finding the uniform i'd [icked out for bri bri. lookedd at g2f clothes in case i remembering wrong. i may never have downloaded it. lot of stuff i don't d/l til i actually want to render it. sometimes i buy stuff i don't need cuz i think i might need it someday.
like right now i want table doilies. so i search the store for boilies and look for the d/l icon. i own perfectly doilies, but of course the ones i dont own are the ones i want. doh. 8bux for a gratuitous doiy, doesnt make sense. like fighting an army of robots with a bow and arrows.
Is the daughter of an emperor a princess or an empress?
imperial princess?
Just don't kick it!

last time i was there caught the mr softee ice cream truck. can only hope.
ice cream would make it all worth it.
If you have one of those fancy machines that have a transparent hatch on the side, you may find the show much more interesting than what's on TV...
It is suggested that you take a photo of the card with your phone and keep that with you, leave the actual card at home, to avoid loss. Therer may be booster shots in the future, to deal with new mutations, against which current vaccines may not work well.

Complaint: (*sigh*) I've run into a situation where I need a USB3 extension cord (male one end, female 'tother end) It needs to be 12 feet long. No problem you say, just go to Amazon or NewEgg or CablesToGo. Right? Well, not if you need USB "miniB" connectors on both ends.
No such animal exists.
And try to even find adapters to up-size to regular USB and then an adapter to down-size back to microUSB in the opposite sex. Non-existent species.
Prove me wrong. Please!
Note: I actually need two cables like that, one 12 foot and the other only 3 foot. I'd be happy with the 3 footer, and over the moon if a 12 foot solution could be found.
they dilated me. if i go to sleep now i'll be up all night. trying to watch cinametography tutorials, but everything looks washed out white.
there a lot of secrets to camera stuff. like how to see a figure in front of a very wide castle, wide angle shot.
i could scale down the castle til it looks background size. they cant do that in real life, is camera trickery.
in real life they use sheets to diffuse light for a soft look.
the right mouse button doesn't work so well. I need to buy another PS/2 mouse.
...only USB 2.0 but here's a 5 ' one.

...and a 15' one

So I'm cooking a couple of steaks here, and I thought I'd be a rebel rule breaker and use chick-chick seasoning on the moo-moo meat. I'm a bad dude now!
Thank you for looking!
I finally slogged the whole way through all 20 pages of "USB mini b" cables at Amazon. I did find the 5 foot extender that you pointed out and thanks for the link to the long extender but $27 is a bit much.
Also, upon reflection, USB2 is adequate. Nothing data heavy going through the wire.
In my journey through the Amazon catalog I also found the following solutions and I believe these are the only ones that could meet my needs. Each one appears several times in the catalog list. Apparently there isn't much call for USB mini-b extension cables.
My solution for my 12' and 3' problems? One #1 and two #2 below.
But the 13 piece USB adapter kit (#5) is interesting in it's own right.

Also interesting, the link you provided for the $27 15' cable
https://www.usbfirewire.com/e-custom.aspx
has a service that lets you design your own cable, length, connector sex and type, connector angling, cable type (standard, thin, coiled, etc.) Nice to know for the future when you want to spend $50 for an exact solution cable.
Hopefully, Monday all my cables will arrive and I can start draping cables around my lab again. Wheee...
This latest round of cable buying was to support my purchase of a 2nd KVM switch. I already have a 2-port switch but now with the new computer (born of the unwanted motherboard) having an HDMI output it can be added to my KVM switch and use my big 27" 2K monitor and the keyboard, mouse, speakers & microphone at my main workarea. And since the next step up from a 2-port KVM switch is the same company's 4-port single monitor switcher (as opposed to their dual monitor switcher box), I might as well wire in my DAZing machine into it also instead of using the big monitor's 2nd port.
I really like this company's little KVM switch. It switches keyboard, monitor, speakers, microphone, and 2-USB ports. It has a few minor quirks but it doesn't cost $300 either.

But I now have removed their 2-port model and wired in the two existing machines into my new 4-port unit. Unfortunately the included 6' cables changed configuration** between the 2-port and 4-port models, so I had to yank cables yesterday (what a mess).
The old 2-port model https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HR9DQGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 will go back on my shelf for future lab enhancements. Also, I believe the new 4-port and 2-port models currently available are an update design because they now claim 2K & 4K capability instead of just 1080HD. And the new models are cheaper too. I guess they're saving money on the super complicated custom cable for all signals that they no longer have to use.
** (they used to use one custom cable per computer for everything, now they use two cables per computer. The separated out the HDMI cable part of it and they assign the speaker, microphone, mouse, keyboard, USB port signals to a simpler (and less expensive) custom cable with only a mini-b male connector to plug into the switch.
About the cable... I thought that USB cable over 6' long wasn't a good idea because there was too much resistance or something... like using a 100' 16 gauge extension cord for a high amperage tool.
I think someone told me that years ago (probably early '00s) and it sort of made sense, but I never looked into that... If I remember correctly I was having some issue with an Alps printer (it was a dye sublimination printer that not only print CMYK, but white and metallics)...
I asked someone in MicroCenter if they had a 10 ft cable because I was using two 6' cords and I thought that was a problem because of the plug to plug connection, the Mac guy there said don't use long cords, and if I really need to I should try putting a powered USB hub in the center to reduce the resistance... I thought it seemed a little unnecessary, but the idea of relocating that huge printer closer to the computer wasn't interesting me since everything fit where it was... So I tried it and the problem went away, so I assumed he was right.
I've actually bought cheap USB cables to cannibalize the wire inside and they are really, really small diameter... maybe because they are cheap, but still.
Not making a suggestion, or trying to inform, I just was wondering if that's still a thing or it ever was... you guys probably know more about that then I do.
Thanks for stepping in. Yeah, USB cable length can be a problem for some devices. Especially for the older cable types (USB1 cheap unshielded cables) and for the newer, faster, USB standards (3.0, 3.1 and 4.0), but USB2 class cable is supposedly good to 5 meters. But for my long run (2m+3m=5m) the data being carried is low rate audio and user input data (speaker, microphone, mouse & keyboard), and I probably will never use the extra USB2 ports provided on the device, so I'm not going to fret about the cable length, yet. However, if it does become a problem I do have a (few) retired powered repeating USB hubs languishing on my shelves. Thanks for the suggestion
. (What I don't have is empty power sockets, again.
*sigh* more/bigger power bars.)

Nostalgia: Kids these days don't know how good they have it in the Ethernet department. I remember the days in the early '80s when Ethernet cable was coax cable the diameter of your finger and you had to place a vampire tap** onto the cable at only specifically marked distances on the cable to avoid tapping into a null signal section. And then a thick multi wire connection ran from the cable tap to the computer. And the data rate was something like 3Mb/s. Wow, so last century.

I remember when the Internet was more or less theoretical to anyone who wasn't in a lab or government facility.
My kids were weirded out by that 90s "connecting to Internet" sound you'd hear the modem make... the one that sounds like something horrible happened to Pac-Man.
Have they ever seen one of those telephone cradle boxes that you used to put the phone handset into when you were "dialing up" to a computer service? Wouldn't work today. Nobody has phone handsets.
But I think AOL is still in business somewhere? Or have they faded away too?
I used to drive past the AOL building/campus in Washington, DC area everyday.
Ah nostalgic memories of AOL advertisement CDs sent to you in the post (snail mail) every couple of weeks trying to entice you to use their wonderful service. I think at one time somebody collected a truckload of unwanted AOL CDs and dumped them on the lawn at the AOL building.
