Fixing drawstring bands

Avoid the problem entirely by tying good knots from the start.

But, if a drawstring does get stuck: the trick is to restring by taping the band to the inner ink container of a pen (or another thin, pointy, skinny, flexible rod) and threading the rigid object through as a carrier for the soft object.

Do you have multiple versions of numpy installed in your system?
pip show numpy
Can you uninstall all numpy versions and later install numpy==1.16.4?
pip uninstall numpy (till you uninstall all versions)
pip install numpy==1.16.4

Find out what graphics card your windows computer has

How do I find out which graphics card and driver my Windows pc has?
If you are not sure which card is in the computer, the exact name of your graphics card is available in the Windows Display Settings, that you can find through the Control Panel. You can also run Microsoft's DirectX diagnostic tool to get this information:

From the Start menu, open the Run dialog box.
Type dxdiag
Click on the Display tab of the dialog that opens to find graphics card information.

How to change my mouse wheel scroll rate?

The fix for me for this (I had it for months) was pretty surreal and like most folks I didn't believe it until I did it:

Some MS mice have a scrollwheel bug.

Try unplugging the USB cable / dongle then plug back in.

Also, I noticed that if you have the dongle plugged in to the computer and the mouse has an on-off mechanism then you can just turn the mouse off and back on. That resets the data link between the mouse and dongle.
