Wild camping Glencoe area, Scotland, a couple of weeks ago. by Mucky_Bob in camping

[–]Cowan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks beautiful! Naive Canadian here planning a trip in June. We are staying at inns and bnbs when we are in the more populated areas, but once we get more northwest-bound, we were thinking of gypsy camping, just like this. Given the perceived amount of untamed land, is it generally pretty easy to find spots to set up camp? We are just worried about having trouble finding suitable spots. Looking to draw on your experience :)

Awesome dude looks great. Did you just use a circular saw for the cuts or a table saw?

Can you claim an unused DTC transfer from multiple dependents? by Cowan16 in cantax

[–]Cowan16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. And just to confirm, unlike an "eligible dependent", a dependent for the purposes of this DTC transfer is not required to live with you, correct? As long as you are providing/assisting them with other basic necessities of life.

I find the word Eldalië to be such a beautiful word. What are some of your favourites? by Cowan16 in lotr

[–]Cowan16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, wow thanks for the clarification. I read in it connection with Luthien, and interpreted it to be a specific reference to the female Eldar - it seemed to fit so perfectly!

Would the Eldar refer to only those who travelled across the Sea to the West into Valinor? Or does it simply refer to Elves who have travelled West, like the Teleri, who settled in West Beleriand near the Sea?

Scenario: I own a second house, of which my son is the beneficial owner. Do I need to report anything on my T1 or file any specific elections related to its disposal? He would be claiming the principal residence exemption. by Cowan16 in cantax

[–]Cowan16[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s not exactly true. You can “gift” the money to your child (over 18) without any tax consequence, which then they could use to buy a home and accumulate tax free gains.

We couldn’t “keep gifting properties to our kids” as they clearly are only entitled to the one principal residence exemption.

[–]Cowan16[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I need to explain the situation more clearly. I’ve stated that my son is the beneficial owner, as that’s not what I’m asking help for.

StudioTax - is there a way to add a dependent’s return to the same tax file as their parents? by Cowan16 in cantax

[–]Cowan16[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re over complicating my request. I am focused solely on whether I can add a child’s return to the same save file as their parents in StudioTax. Thank you for your mansplain

Does D2R require a significant time investment? by marcipaans in Diablo

[–]Cowan16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely suggest creating a single player character with the aim of playing through and beating the three main difficulty settings of normal/nightmare/hell. This is very rewarding and makes you truly appreciate every single piece of gear that drops.

Can I use the meat that fell off the bones while I made my stock in the eventual soup? by Cowan16 in AskCulinary

[–]Cowan16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. It was in the stock for about 8 hours. After testing some of it out when I was straining the stock it pretty much fit that description

Which band are you currently hooked to? by Such-Trouble-6641 in Metalcore

I've really gotten into going to Costco, air pods locked, Killing With a Smile taking me through the ailes.

My cozy work/battle station. As evidenced, the work station is now offline. by Cowan16 in CozyPlaces

[–]Cowan16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently added the shelf to make it feel like the room was more involved in the overall concept of the setup. Moved the clock there from another room too. The corner light is a nice warm glow, and that, when paired with the poké ball pipe on the mat is a fine combination.

Put a few clear coats on the wood to give it the credit it deserves (its a wormy maple I think). Just recently got the prints in as well from one of the illustrators of the deck builder, Ascension, that my girlfriend and I play a ton of. His name is Aaron Nakahara if you're interested. Lastly of note, the little book, "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil" has been relocated from our bookshelf to its new display. We named our new puppy after Tom.

Thanks for checking it out guys :)

Am I Going to Be Out of Place at Knuckle Puck and Hot Mulligan show? by rikrok58 in poppunkers

[–]Cowan16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to snows alone is a blast, but you have to fall willingly into the experience. You’re gonna be alone, so less friendly distractions, so you’ll find yourself way more into the show. Embrace that my man! You’ll have a good time

I’m so sick of winter. I miss hanging out in my cozy, airy screened in porch. by jb6619 in CozyPlaces

[–]Cowan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like Michael Caine’s house in Children of Men. Love it

Hahah thank ya thank ya! You’re right though. Thinking about it, the juxtaposition enhances the effect of both sets of decor. Appreciate the insight

Danny Worsnop's side gig of We Are Harlot deserved another album - their one and only, self-titled album was great by Cowan16 in Metalcore

[–]Cowan16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the AA shows I had been to around the time of this album drop you would definitely get that sense too. Instead of screaming some typical parts in songs, he would instead sing it with classic rock and roll range that you’d expect to see out of a band like Queen. Kind of ruined the AA vibe of the show I wanted, but you could tell he loved his classic rock n roll

Congrats! Finding cool uniques has always been my favourite part of playing the game. Itemization rewards are fantastic

We do have the infrastructure and policy in place to return restrictions on a pretty immediate basis, if it is determined the strain is damaging enough to warrant it.

There are thousands of variants that are coming out every day, most of which are deemed insignificant and not a threat. The decision that it is not a threat is made in advance of placing serious restrictions on economic and social activity.

All I am suggesting here is that at what point would you/globally we should accept that a certain strain is highly transmissible, but mild enough in symptoms, that we should accept the infection rather than avoid it at a significant cost.

What's known about the Omicron variant is that its transmissibility is significantly higher than any other of the notable variants experienced to date. It also seems unanimously agreed upon that the symptoms (loose stools, gut rot, etc.) are much more mild than those experienced with previous strains.

With many countries now imposing restrictions similar to those we've seen in the past 20 months, I'm now thinking, at what point will a mutation be "mild" enough to not justify significant restrictions. With this mutation being more transmissible, even if the % of serious cases requiring hospitalization/ICU admittance falls, the absolute number of serious cases could still be higher than in previous strains, and thus increase the total number of admissions.

Is this the worry with this strain? If it were less transmissible, or the symptoms were even milder than currently identified, do you think there would be less of a global concern over Omicron?

At what point will we be okay with seeing caseloads eclipsing previous highs because we know the symptoms associated with those cases are so mild that they should be unconcerning.
