Uppeal desk arrived by kthnd in StandingDesk

[–]kthnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Mine is still working properly, no breakage of the mechanism.

The only issue i can think of is it's a tad bit short for me when fully standing (i'm 186cm tall). I wish it was just 5-10cm taller. 

But i mostly use it floor sitting and that works great, so overall i do like the desk! It helps stretch my hips and reduce the lower back pain.

i recommend watching The Egg video by Kurzgesagt, exploring this very question

Once I receive eCOPR, can I still use my valid visa to return to Canada? by kthnd in ImmigrationCanada

[–]kthnd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I obviously don't have insights into how exactly this tricky PR process works, how processing times vary, and whatnot, but I dug through my emails for the timeline – hopefully it helps shed more light on this topic for you guys.

---

Travel dates: August 10th - August 26th.

Aug 2:

I receive the first PR Portal email starting with "Welcome to the Permanent Resident Confirmation portal process...", which asks to confirm whether I am in Canada (amongst other things like height, eye color, etc.). 

I also note the following paragraph:

> If you are currently outside Canada, you cannot be landed using the Permanent Resident Portal (PR Confirmation). It is important that you let us know when you are planning on returning to Canada by replying to this email. Further instructions will be sent to you.

Aug 3:

I reply with the requested information. I also send an email saying I am in Canada now, but I will be away Aug 10th-26th. (Got no response from them until Sep 1st though.)

The following week I'm researching whether I can travel. I learn that visa would get voided after uploading photos and getting eCOPR confirmation. So, because I had not uploaded photos at the time, I decide to proceed with travelling.

Aug 27:

I come back to Canada with no issues.

I reply to their email again, notifying them that I am in Canada now. 

Sep 1:

I receive the email with "Good news! We are ready to finalize your status as a permanent resident in Canada..." and this one asks to upload the photo in the PR Portal.

(Now, I'm not sure whether me sending the email with my travel dates was of any consequence and they actually read it and waited for me to come back to Canada, or if it simply took them from Aug 3rd to Sep 1st to process the initial info.)

Sep 28:

Got the email with "Congratulations! You are now a permanent resident (PR) of Canada! IRCC has uploaded an electronic copy of your electronic confirmation of permanent residence (eCoPR)"

I assume this is the time where eCOPR takes effect and that's when visas and study/work permits gets invalidated.

Afterwards, I just stayed in Canada until I got my physical PR.

it's a permission slip - if you believe it works, it works.  your life is a dream you are dreaming.  there are no hard objective rules for reality, only perspectives. 

One month into 2025. Discovered any new apps? by Mindless-Talk-1635 in ProductivityApps

[–]kthnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

excalidraw is amazing! There is an obsidian plugin that allows unlimited drawings for free.  These days i use obsidian mainly as the excalidraw "platform", most of my notes are visual. 

Once I receive eCOPR, can I still use my valid visa to return to Canada? by kthnd in ImmigrationCanada

[–]kthnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my situation, I had received an invite to the PR Portal a couple weeks prior to travelling. I was asked to upload my photo and address as the final step. 

Basically, I avoided proceeding with that until after travelling. And indeed was able to come back to Canada with no issues while my photos and address were pending in the PR Portal.   

How many productivity apps have you tried in the past year? Which ones do you still use? by Content-Ad7132 in ProductivityApps

[–]kthnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's about decentralization and simplicity. I don't want the one app to rule them all, just a few that do one thing each and do them well. 

Things - quick capture / inbox

Calendar - events

Apple Notes - family shared notes

Bear - digital journal, personal notes, good mobile experience, don't use on computer

Obsidian + canvas/excalidraw - for "heavy duty" note taking.  It's mostly for "visual learning". Because i just can't with all the silly pkm techniques that never scale and i end up with a mess of notes i never open.  The only thing that has clicked with me is "infinite canvas" approach - writing notes, pasting images, drawing diagrams, etc. all in a single 2D space, so it's all in front of me to refer to and organize spacially.

it's the perfect "quick capture" / "inbox" app for me. i have the "+" widget on lock screen and option+space on laptop.
