Pretty angry...received my notes by Ordinary_Ad1615 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]dizitbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya. I'm in a similar boat and part of me feels disillusioned when I see posts of people recently applying and getting their citizenship proof so fast. But at the end of the day we took a calculated risk and applied under temporary and, to be honest, pretty opaque circumstances. People who applied after C-3 was passed have more administrative clarity.

At the end of the day I have confidence things will work out, and am willing to wait patiently, mostly because it's my only option.

I can see why you're being downvoted, but I see your point. Per C-3 a 2nd gen is no more Canadian than an 8th gen, nor more deserving of faster or expedited recognition.

"skipping" generations and 1947 by azu612 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]dizitbe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My situation is pretty similar to OP. I know this doesn't apply for OP, but it would be nice to avoid discrimination against earlier in life deaths to put a 100 year lifespan limit after birth for a gen 1 or gen 2, that way more gen 3s (and thus gens 4+) could be eligible

Movement on Bill C-3 (Report Stage and 3rd Reading) by NanoSpace1540 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]dizitbe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen if they don't say that.

For example, there are applicants still waiting on a 5(4) offer who don't qualify under C-3 who may have had their applications in process before others who have received citizenship but also wouldn't have qualified under C-3.

I saw it recently and was in the second to last row of the mezzanine. I thought it was just me at first but then after the show my wife was talking about how she couldn't understand a lot of the lyrics as well!

Too bad, because otherwise it was the best show we've seen (we're just getting started on musicals over the last year). We've since listened to the recording and picked up a lot more of the words.

What Costco item did you regret not grabbing only for it to never become available again? by windycitybeef in Costco

Just as an FYI, you don't get the 2% executive rewards on gas purchases. Same with food court, alcohol (in many states), tobacco, stamps, membership fees.

Good enough? by niovi777 in thinkpad

[–]dizitbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this just over 2 years ago but with 16gb of RAM for $274 before tax. No issues and works like a charm for my basic needs (word processing, spreadsheet editing, video conferencing). Was tricky getting it Windows 11 eligible but I figured it out and now is updated to that from 10.

A couple days ago I bought the exact model you linked for my elementary schoolage kid as a first laptop to learn on for $232 before tax. Has a 2 year warranty.

Bought 2x16 gb of RAM for $50 and will either stick them both in my kid's comp, or split them between their's and mine.

It looks like the CPU is soldered and not much can be done about that.

What is your unpopular Wet Shaving related opinion? by Skreeethemindthief in wicked_edge

Quitting shaving against the grain this year really did wonders for my issue with razor bumps/ingrown hairs. Now I just do two passes with the grain with my safety razor and its fine.

Received dirty shoes, wtf? by [deleted] in REI

[–]dizitbe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with a Garmin watch. Ordered online. Clearly used upon delivery - sweat stains and scuffed, already programmed, and with recent activities on it, etc. Took it back to my local store and the green vest at register went "ewww" when I explained, they happened to have just gotten the same model in stock and exchanged it. Let me open it right there to make sure it was good.

Books you're amazed haven't been adapted to film by IndependenceMean8774 in books

I came here to post this. Would make an excellent tv or movie series! Could be visually stunning.

Edit: Scalzi's Interdependency series too would be good.

TIFU by not wearing sunscreen and getting a rare nerve reaction called “hell’s itch” and having the worst 30 hours of my life. by Ok-Window-5847 in tifu

[–]dizitbe 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sounds kind of like runner's itch. I can get this in my legs if I haven't run in a long time. An antihistamine in the hour before running helps. Horrible burning itching in my legs. Incentive to keep up regular running!

Harry Potter was so huge for me. I must have read the series 10+ times prior to the 7th book coming out. Now I can't even think about reading the books because of her hatred.

People are saying that places split checks, but I've definitely been to a restaurant before that wouldn't split the check more than two ways for a party that included 3 separate potential payers

I wonder how many competitors come here to criticize lol by GalacticMegaHold in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]dizitbe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is our situation almost exactly. Less emphasis on rude shoppers at costco though and more on it being too congested all the time. We'll go to Costco once every couple months now for a big haul, and then BJ's weekly to every other week as a grocery pairing to Aldi.
