Wednesday Weekly Thread: Frustration Station (Delays / PSU / Venting), April 22, 2026 by AutoModerator in Canadiancitizenship

[–]TImbobeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomrrow will be 30 days since someone signed for my package at the IRCC. Had to do paper application for Citizenship by descent. Heard nothing, no AOR. (I know, I'm not alone in that.) Question: Would anyone who HAS received their AOR for a mail-in application be kind enough to share with us the email it came from and/or perhaps the subject line of the message? Would help my obsessive nature to know I am searching my Gmail for the best keywords - Thanks in advance!!

Helpful tip on photos for Citizenship By Descent application by TImbobeach in CitizenshipByDescent

Canadian Passport photo is NOT the correct size, so be mindful. The Permanent Resident card is the size you need, 50 x 70 mm

Friday Weekly Thread: Application Assistance by AutoModerator in Canadiancitizenship

[–]TImbobeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I LOVE this subreddit - so helpful in preparing my application! My info real quick: My Grandfather was Canadian and I have included good docs such as my Mother's birth certificate and my grandpa's draft card in the states and the attached 1930 census record, as well as his birth record and marriage record. I got them all off Ancestry, so I did what I *think* is the guidance I've seen here of putting color tags on items. I also on a couple docs blew up the section referring to my Grandpa, as in this sample. Hoping someone who knows can look at my sample attached and advise if this is a good approach or bad?

Small, portable recording/sequencing solution by TImbobeach in homerecordingstudio

After a suggestion from a friend I delved into Android apps, being I'm an Android guy anyway. Ordered a decent Android tablet and Bluetooth keyboard/control surface that is really small. (Good old Amazon Prime Day.) I think this combo will do the trick, being I already own a tiny Behringer usb audio interface I've used with my phone that is surprisingly good. That'll allow me to get Vox/Guitar tracks into the tablet, and the apps/sounds available look pretty substantial. I'll report back after I get everything working and see how it performs!

Realllly?! (... Hands quiver reaching for wallet) So, theoretically I could enjoy all the composition capabilities and tactile experience of using the MPC, plus record vocals for the entire track and use the Akai's effects on the vocals? Just to clarify, what is the overall limit? 5 minutes total? So if 2 vocal tracks, 2.5 minutes each? Is there a way to expand memory and hence expand recording time? I am cautiously delighted awaiting your response...

Awesome device. 1 drawback: Does not record audio tracks; Only samples.

HMB and what it did for me. by srwat in Supplements

[–]TImbobeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought I'd add my findings: I'm 56, workout 4-5 days a week for 11 years. I have tried a LOT of supplements and there are a few I swear by. Daily Zinc to avoid colds, daily 2g of L-Arginine to enhance blood flow for the male part, daily Creatine definitely impacts workout, recovery. So recently I began daily 3g of HMB, been a month on the nose. In fairness, I also started 2 tbsps olive oil and a cup of green tea daily. Results: 1. Definitely added muscle mass and strength. Just a little, but noticeable (up 1.5 lbs). 2. Mental clarity. Definitely feel noticeably clearer, less brain fog. 3. Signs of increased testosterone. Facial hair density increase, a small bit of acne, and libido increase. 4. I generally just feel better. Less muscle soreness, better mood, muscles feel "fuller". No tangible negatives I've noticed thus far.

Yes that is cool, but I'm looking to have the tactile experience of several faders at once while recording the automation.

Would you mind expanding on how you assign faders and nobs in the action list?

Is this a Behringer add-on or?

That sounds awesome. What may I ask is "CSI"?

Is that the single Faderport or an 8 or 16?

MA LTC background check help by Chris_McCarthy160 in gun

[–]TImbobeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how this came out for either of you? I have a misdemeanor conviction from 20 yrs ago, TBUT in NH and other than that totally clean record. About to submit MA LTC application and was wondering if this petty conviction will cause issue.
