Non-urgent money beg − help me restore my childhood laptop from 2009
Hey there! I still have my old laptop from 2009, an Acer 5738Z, or what’s left of it. It’s very important to me, as it was the first computer I personally owned. Unfortunately it was destroyed by bullies in school in 2014 and it stayed in that state ever since.
I’d love to restore it and keep it around for as long as I can, as an emergency backup machine, and also because I don’t want to throw it away when it could still work fine.
A couple of parts are becoming harder to come by, but I’ve constituted a list of them that I’d need to put it back in working shape: a battery, a screen, a keyboard and a SATA SSD. I’ve managed to find all of these part online, and it would amount to around 160€
It’s not urgent − but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a couple of years now, and I can never reasonably fit it into my budget.
So if a few of you would like to chip in and make it more manageable, it would be great and would make me really happy! Only do so if you want and can, of course. I wanna stress it’s not vital to me, even if it’s important on an emotional level.

Hello, welcome. Why don’t you take a seat? Get comfortable, relax, take a second if you need to. Now what’s bothering you? Well, why don’t we start at the beginning?
Growing up, how was your relationship with the fundamentals of conscious existence? Did you have xenon orchid sinews spilling down the outer center of your blooming Escher/Mandelbrot head? And how about claustrophilic tendrils clapping caskets closed on seven-knuckle thumbs, did you get along well with the Gideon Bugler pineal glands, your projector eyes casting sci-fi’s on your STR’d strands? Tell me about your nerve to steal nerves of steel from under Bacchus’ bloody nose. Did Namibian Himbas tie-dye you, your ears pierced with a Phineas Gage flagpole, did you die before your day?
Thursday traction, Tuesday titration. My hope is to assess through my objective report of your subjective conjecture whether this proprietary blend of expertise and seasoning works as well as this transorbital ice pick
Holistic ballistics, you got a better idea? It’s about the best we could come up with. What, you think ideas spread because they’re good? No, they spread because people like them. So here we are once again. Holding, as it were, a mirror up to your mirror
I guess it’s just something people do

Speaking of national fonts, in 2014, Sweden commissioned a typeface to represent their country in a diplomatic sense
really well-designed, too, the angles and distances make it so the're's a bunch of ways the sharks can fit together and it's just a good time trying to figure it out. I thought I was really stuck for a while until I played around with the sharks and just figured out how they could fit together, then it just clicked
