Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for "Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM" and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo's site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn't recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you're looking for.

As others have mentioned, it refers to the gear shift. But it actually has a meaningful origin - many years ago, the gear order was not agreed upon. Many cars had a gear shift that was PNDLR (which I've heard pronounced "pendler"), where reverse was at the end. At the time, it was useful to tell the difference between a PRNDL and a PNDLR shift.

Of course that was all before 1971, when PRNDL was mandated by the US government.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don't know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you'd even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it's a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you're doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can't be relying on you.

They shouldn't (and almost certainly don't) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don't show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

I would totally do that even if there was nothing there.

Downvote for posting a very time-sensitive article from 2022

Even if this is true (very big IF), why would you publish that? The OpSec makes no sense. Are they trying to bait Russia into attacking to get a unified response? That seems like an incredibly risky move.

There are credible (but obviously unconfirmed) reports that Putin has cancer.

Trump is a lardass and old, but no specific health concerns are reported.

You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

One of the things about rabies that makes it absolutely terrifying is that it can remain dormant for years after exposure. You could have it right now, even. But the only way to test is post-mortem.
