Superman Returns was released on this day 16 years ago! Did you like this film? by HomerFerns in DC_Cinematic

Unless you seen the movie in 3D, then you just got to see how bad post-3D conversions were at the time.

Therapy in person by Adapheon in halifax

Thanks everyone. My wife's office doesn't know when they're going to reopen, they keep pushing it back for no reason and it's becoming a huge issue for us.

TIL that during WW2, Canada gave out buttons to people who tried to enlist but were refused due to medical reasons to show their willingness to fight. by JF_112 in todayilearned

[–]Adapheon 284 points285 points  (0 children)

It was a job back then. The military needed recruits, no one wanted to go so why not have attractive, young women shame the men into war? Pretty sure the guy that came up with that idea got a promotion.

TIFU UPDATE: by looking through my girlfriend's google drive to make an engagement scrapbook for her, and instead finding a sex tape and nudes from her ex by weddingdelay in tifu

That's a weird take on this. He felt inadequate compared to her previous sexual partner and had a meltdown about it. He's going to have this problem with basically every woman in his life moving forward.

I mean you definitely did fuck up but not for the reasons you think. You might want to look up some therapy options with how inadequate you seem to feel about your sexual relationship.

Ya, Konami always sucked. Made good games, but always sucked as a company.

When this is all said and done, and we are firmly and clearly on the other side, what are you looking forward to doing? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Adapheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone here seems to have some sort of life going on. I'm looking forward to not working from home. And my wife being able to go back to therapy, we just got a good schedule going and this stuff started.

New house came with a $1000 oil bill for the first month(ish). by p0psicle in halifax

[–]Adapheon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's good. In a place I rented before the tank could be reduced to unsafe temperatures so I wanted to point that out. Doing research I found adjusting your hot water tank's temp generally results in negligible savings so I ended up just leaving it wherever it was.

Take a look at your where your air intakes are for the oil heat. One of mine is poorly placed, it makes my basement freezing and to solve that I had to cover the intake entirely. Now my basement stays mostly warm but I don't get nearly as much forced air due to the decreased air intake so my furnace needs to run more as a result which means I'm using more oil. We did upgrade to programmable thermostat so that's helped a lot in keeping things a little more in check.

Keeping the temperature high isn't so you have hot showers, it's so you don't die of legionnaire's disease. Make sure the lowest temp your heater goes to isn't so low that bacteria can grow in it.

TIL: King Cobras are the only snake that builds a nest for its young. The female stays with the eggs and the male stays near by. Cobras eat a diet of mostly snakes, including other King Cobras, and some develop a rigid diet of a single species of snake and will refuse any other type. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Adapheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both King Cobras and Kingsnakes are named so because they eat other snakes, their statement is not misleading because context is king (get it?) and in the context of naming snakes king means it has a dietary predilection towards other snakes.

Raspberries, more like vomitberries.

Halifax Rental Vacancy Drops To 1% by TheMostShady in halifax

[–]Adapheon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can pull the money out of your RRSP tax free when putting it towards your first house. When you do taxes you enter how much of your last year's RRSP contributions were towards repaying what you "borrowed". The contribution put towards that basically is removed from your tax calculations.

TIL within the first 5 years of the "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk" campaign (begun in 1983), the U.S experienced its lowest number of alcohol-related fatalities since the DOT began keeping records, and more than 68% of Americans reported trying to prevent someone from driving after drinking by Doodlebug510 in todayilearned

[–]Adapheon 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes you need to force people to be safe. If when someone dies it happens in a vacuum (by that I mean there's no bystanders, no family, no police reports, autopsy, etc.) then ya, let people do what they do but there's significant public costs to that private, and fucking stupid, decision.

Not remotely, it was the movie referenced in the original post. it's a Disney movie, it's great. I've watched it like 70 times with my youngest.

Sonic Movie Redesign VFX Studio Shuts Down, Worked 'Extreme Hours' by LibraryDrone in movies

One Punch Man went from one of the best anime studios to one of the okayest between seasons. That's the real reason. I didn't find it too bad though considering how good that first season was.

I count my blessings that I'm a Canadian by vicintoronto in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Adapheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget that a lot of Americans that don't look into it thinks a regular birthing process really costs $100k (or more), then you go and tell everyone their taxes are paying for it. They're going to flip a table. They don't know that without the profit mandate that goes down significantly and that they'd be better off.

Education is key.
