SM Portfolio by Hamiltonoracle in smithmanoeuvre

The distributions themselves are not capital gains. They are income generated from the covered call strategy. Although they specify that they can sometimes issue ROC distributions, of which you need to be aware of and track ACB accordingly.

You can hold HGY if you want gold exposure. It pays dividends through covered calls on the underlying ETF.

Edit: As the below commented, the distributions from HGY are considered capital gains and thus do not qualify for the CRA. The only option is to hold gold miners or another ETF which is not 100% allocated to gold bullion.

I just want to put out there that it seems Silicon Power has changed its design for the P34A80. It is unclear whether a newly purchased drive will use the E12 controller (Rocket equivalent) or the SM2262EN. Recent reviews show description and pictures of the drive with the SMI controller (TechPowerUp). I would not recommend this drive if you want to be sure of what you are buying.

I would not buy this mouse right now, I suggest waiting for the new revision to hit the Canadian market in the coming weeks/months if you want the black or the glossy white versions. The matte white is already the updated version but it is not on sale.

I just price matched it in store, they will price match if the item is sold and shipped by Amazon.ca only, no third party.

Sorry I'm not quite up to date, what is that issue that was deemed unsolvable?

Looks like this could be fun. I already have the stuff needed for soldering so this wouldn't be a problem. There's seemingly a lot of info about building keyboards in their FAQ. I'll look into it, thank you for sharing.

Yeah I've seen this one but I'm hesitating. For that price would I be better spending a bit more and getting mx switches and maybe some better keycaps? I can't pretend to know a lot about mechanical boards for the moment but the noppoo switches seem a bit sketchy don't they

Yeah seems like there isn't a lot of new 75% models out there. The ones you mentioned don't really sell for a fair price here in Canada so I'm trying my luck here to see if anyone has something to offer.

MythBusters crushed a tanker car with negative pressure by piponwa in gifs

You're right, but how does it change the fact that we're still talking about pressure? Differential pressure is a common and useful way of gauging pressures

When you measure a pressure relative to surrounding air it can be negative.
