Just please, have a pfp and some content in your profile for a vibe check. If you don't CW your heavy/political posts, I probably won't follow back. It's nothing personal; I'm just trying to curate a manageable feed. :blobcat:</p>

:420: Kottonmouth :bender:<p>Man, I am in love with this $30 Thinkpad T560! All I had to do was replace the cmos battery, had one on hand already, and it fired right up. I am getting 6-7 hours with all the optimizations I've done to make it run smooth, and that's just with the internal battery. Once I add an external battery I will probably be getting around 14hrs off one charge! Super dope find at goodwill. :stonersmiley: :ms_nerd_face:<br><a href="https://stoners.social/tags/thinkpads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpads</span></a> <a href="https://stoners.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>
