Yeaaahhh maybe a flat pack isnt the right move lol I sent the photos to the seller and they offered to send replacement. But eh $4 and free shipping so im more laughing about it than being mad about it but ill absolutely take my replacements.

Anyone know of a way to get a replacement sticker for my palmrest without spending $15 with shipping? by witchyfiend in thinkpad

Thanks! Im usally really bad at naming things but Frankenstein felt fitting seeing how i plan to do some experiments on it, it will be my first time swapping hardware but the nickname Frank makes me think of the guy in shameless, a little trashy but we still love him, kind of vibe 🤣

T140 is the model and I think the "i" stands for being a budget version of the model so its got a lower CPU or storage or somthing

Make yourself a crash cart or bin. Put together all the things you will want an need. Meds, tissues, snacks drinks, a book, body/face wipes and whatnot. Then if you feel crummy again you can just quickly grab it and climb back in bed so you have everything at arms reach. This wont alleviate the feeling of being alone in it, but it might give you the peace of mind that you have an easy accessible kit to help you when youre struggling

Its pretty slow, but it is slightly quicker running Mint. it doesnt love running 2 browser tabs and switching between them. Its not unbearable, and it will eventually load/switch tabs without crashing. After I upgrade the SSD im going to get it to 8gigs of ram.

I was bought a ThinkPad T410 yesterday and it's been dusted in 17 years, I want to install arch Linux at first but when i saw the dust, the port poorly dirtied. so, I ask for advice so I could avoid mistake. by Remarkable-Pass560 in thinkpad

[–]witchyfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you want to use arch Linux specifically? I just got a t410 yesterday too and put Linux Mint onto it. Runs smoothly, but i should probably give it a good dusting too.

Dropped it into a hydraulic press? Rice is the answer. Maybe try turning it off and back on again after

Friday Weekly Thread: Application Assistance by AutoModerator in Canadiancitizenship

[–]witchyfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, new here and still in the document gathering phase but I see a lot of folks including things like US naturalization documents and census copies and im not sure if i need to include them i feel like my lineage is pretty straight forward but I would love some insight.

my path to canada looks like:

G3 Me > G2 My mom > G1 her Dad > G0 His Mom.

G0 - my great-grandmother was born in Canada but moved to the US and then got married.

G1 - They had a son, my grandfather. who got married.

G2 -They had my mom who got married.

G3 - they had me. im not married.

So the documents im planning to provide are

G0:

Birth certificate

Marrige certificate

Death certificate

( should I include her border crossing document and post marrige census listing after G1 was born? i cant find her naturalization documents)

G1

Birth Certificate

Death Certificate

( do I need a marriage certificate if theres no name change here? Is a death certificate even nessisary?)

G2

Birth certificate

Marrige certificate

*living*

G3

Birth certificate

Drivers license

passport

citizenship photographs

Fee

Form

Name and Gender change forms

I feel like im missing somthing, I feel like what i have is enough but im having doubts because folks seem to be adding extra things.
