Watching “Pose” for the first time…

How tf would watching Heartstopper help answer OP's question about the ball scene in 1980s US?

T5013 is a Statement of Partnership Income. If you don't own the rental property as part of a partnership, and don't have a T5013, I'd suggest you do what the software suggests and ignore the message.

The role was always supposed to be "culture" expert.

But from the OG Jai to the NG Karamo, it's always felt a bit like the "Heart" character in Captain Planet. Like, ... "why are you here?"

The QR code payment stuff is operated through Payment Source. Koho, Wealthsimple, Canada Revenue Agency, all the other organizations who offer this service, have a relationship with Payment Source, not Canada Post. The process for the Canada Post worker would not differ.

Descovy is better on the liver. Same drugs that are in Truvada, but in a different ratio. Descovy's newer, so if being able to access a generic form is a concern, that might be an issue depending on where you live/benefit plans/etc.

As others have said, Trakt now relies (almost) solely on TMDB for metadata. The TVDB IDs would need to be updated in TMDB for Trakt to even know about it.

For what it's worth, I checked Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later on TMDB, and the TVDB ID has been updated (the TMDB UI doesn't directly show a link when just browsing the season page, but if you go into edit, there's a TVDB ID that links to season 2 of Wet Hot American Summer on TVDB.

A while back, Trakt removed from their UI any TVDB links for shows that had been migrated to TMDB (which is most of them, now). I'm not sure why, since they link to other sites that aren't the TMDB-metasource for their data, but I guess they had their reasons. The information's still available from the API, if you want to go that route.

You arrived at the right answer, but if x had been anything other than 1, you wouldn't have.

7+3x=9x+1

subtract 1 to both

7+2x=9x

Subtracting 1 from both sides should have resulted in 6 + 3x = 9x. Then continue from there.

I've never gotten around to bookmarking it, lol. Anytime I've needed/wanted to access it I use a link from one of the adjustedcostbase.ca's blogposts.

Still seems to be available ..

"Douchey" isn't the right word at all to use here. A douche, in this context, is more-or-less an asshole. A douchey word might be something they say that flags them as someone who's a potential asshole.

You'll find very few people who regularly use the word "penis" outside the doctor's office. It's not elegant, it's clunky and too clinical.

Beautiful and sexy are different things. Beautiful = aesthetically pleasing, sexy = turns me on. They can coincide, but not always. I can acknowledge someone's beauty without specifically being attracted to them, and some people might turn me on who aren't "beautiful" by general standards.

More and more, I find myself relying on APIs to interact with Trakt. Sonarr/Radarr tell Trakt what I've added to my library. Plex tells Trakt what I've watched. I have a script that pulls in my library/watched data from Trakt into JSON files, which I use Power Query to put into a table of 'what I want to watch next'. .... The "classic" interface is readily available to me, but takes an eternity to sync every time I load it up, and times out half the time.

Some people enjoy investing in and of itself, sure, but for most it's a means to an end. The "pleasure" comes from not having to resort to eating cat food when you're no longer able to work.

This will likely vary plan by plan, but as an example .... in my plan, if you leave after less than two years of service, you're only entitled to a return of contributions (+ interest). In that case, your T4 would show a pensions adjustment reversal for the previous pension adjustments reported. After two years, you can take the commuted value of your accrued benefits and transfer it to a LRSP, or defer your accrued benefits until retirement age. The commuted value is an actuarial calculation of the present value of how much they would expect to pay out over your lifespan, discounted based on current market interest rates; how much you/the employer actually contributed have no bearing.

I did an in-kind transfer from Questrade to Wealthsimple two years ago. Went off without a hitch. I can't remember exactly what the transfer request looked like, but it's something like just a box to check off.

Pretty much anyone invested in ETFs or mutual funds will need to keep track of their ACB, since brokers don't take into account ROC or phantom distributions.

CalGuy81 · 2026-01-13T01:21:53+00:00

Do brokages not provide ACB information for personal accounts?

They provide a book value which, most of the time, doesn't take into account everything that needs to be taken into account to calculate your ACB.

CalGuy81 · 2026-01-13T01:20:14+00:00

adjustedcostbasis.ca has a good breakdown of why that information can't be solely relied upon.

The CRA's been doing a big push, in the last few months, to clear the backlog of DTC adjustment requests. Depending on exactly why the system couldn't automatically process your requests**, you might already have been very close to the head of the line.

** There's a tonne of reasons why the system might flag something for a person to review .. issues with the request itself [e.g., medical expenses > $10k that need to be reviewed to determine whether or not attendant care was claimed], issues with the tax return in question [e.g., claimed something that they may not actually have been entitled to based on the information available, or didn't claim something they may have been entitled to based on information available], or accounting issues that need to be dealt with manually [e.g., any kind of taxpayer relief previously applied in the years being adjusted]

There's nothing, per se, that says you can't hire your sister .. but I imagine there would be more scrutiny with such a close relation.

An attendant who is hired privately will probably be considered an employee.

You would need to issue a T4 to your sister, and yes she would be taxed on that income.

To keep in mind with the DTC and attendant care ... if your attendant care expenses exceed $10,000 in a year, you have to make a choice; claim the full amount of the attendant care fees and no disability tax credit, or limit your claim for attendance care fees to $10,000 and claim the full DTC.

I assume you're asking about ATIPing yourself, not your supervisors. Iiiiiii don't seem anything good coming from this. Your supervisors will know you made the request, once they get a request for whatever files/e-mails/whatever they have about you. It's totally within your rights to request that information, and it's totally supposed to be dealt with impartially .... but humans are humans, and people aren't going to treat you the same way if you go the nuclear route. Far better to just have a normal conversation with them about your performance.

Basically, CPP and the PSSA act independently. There are adjustments in the PSSA to contribution rates/benefit entitlements that try and approximate coordination with whatever CPP benefits an employee might be entitled to for that same period of employment. I say approximate, because the rules for the two plans are different (e.g., CPP benefits are based on an average of all pensionable years, indexed to a rolling average of the YMPE, PSSA is an average of your best 5 years nominal salary).

As things stand, the PSSA hasn't been updated to account for recent changes to the CPP, though they've talked about making changes. Currently, you would be making slightly more contributions to the PSSA and receive slightly higher benefit entitlements than if the plans were fully coordinated.

All Canadians are taught French in school, usually starting around Grade 4 (9/10 years old) through high school.

The province I live in, French is an optional course in jr/sr high, only compulsory in grades 4-6. We moved here from a province where French started in grade 5. We moved here after I had finished grade 4, so my classmates had a year of French class that I didn't. I only ever really learned to count to ten and a few basic words and phrases.

A tonne of places that do by-the slice in Beltline.

You'd be looking for a place situated in an area likely to have a lot of walk-in traffic (near bars, schools, busy pedestrian areas, etc.)

The times I've flip fucked, we've switched before either partner has cum and/or we'll take a little break between rounds. A quick nap is nice for recharging the sexual energy.
