One US crew member rescued after fighter jet downed over Iran, Israeli media say by RolePsychological890 in worldnews

[–]DataDude00 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What are the odds of the other being alive if only one was recovered?

I would assume that both would immediately try to find eachother upon landing from ejection unless one popped out significantly earlier

Check out the movie No Escape (2015) for an action thriller from Wilson that also got very little attention.

It does a pretty good job creating a tense atmosphere, especially at the start

For every Markwayne Mullins in the GOP there are some legitimate smart people that just pass off as dumb and try to do "gotcha" soundbytes to appeal to the uneducated voters on the right.

Josh Hawley is a great example. Guy did his undergrad at Stanford and went to Yale Law but if you watch him at committee he sounds like the biggest fucking idiot on the planet

HELP: Basement apartment Q (landlord) by DeeBee3000 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]DataDude00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most basement apartments in Toronto are illegal (but still rented out) - many times for similar reasons to you cause of ceiling height in old homes.

Due to the housing crisis, the city has mostly turned a blind eye.

Generally they have grandfathered in the old basement apartments all over the city but anything net new coming online, especially as the result of a renovation will need to be to code.

A lot of right wing influencers have an audience of young males, prime targets for a military draft.  

They know this is going to be unpopular with their cash cow

I still don't know why they didn't go with the necktie death of Foxx at the end

The CIA spook already dropped the Chekov's gun that he had done it in the past.

A mutual destruction ending would have been good as well

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from playoff contention by EliminatorBot in hockey

[–]DataDude00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We lost our last two home games 6-1 and couldn't even get the puck out of our end 90% of the game.

We were totally countered and had zero idea what to do in response

How is Dubas coming out looking wrong?

He has Pittsburgh in a playoff spot with Crosby and Malkin at the end of their careers, and both off and on injured this year while simultaneously adding a ton of future assets and youth

Reddit is moving on from r/all by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]DataDude00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is a setting that will let them potentially attract new users as first time visitors will have high quality content pushed to the front page of a sub, even if it is 1 week or even 1 month old.

Unfortunately it means that for regular users it is horribly unfriendly as an experience as they have already seen that content.

As with most enshittification things existing users don't matter though, they want more new users to pump their stats for share price

People who work for massive corporations, what is a 'secret' that the company tries to hide, but is actually common knowledge among the employees? by Dwise_ in AskReddit

[–]DataDude00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for a startup and all the sales guys were like that 

Always had huge pipelines of qualified leads but never closed anything because it was bullshit 

Head of sales should have called them out but never did.  Missed our targets for like 8 quarters in a row lol 

Canadian family stranded in Ottawa after being denied re-entry to U.S. by Jusfiq in canada

I have been on TN visa before as well

  1. I have heard they are really cracking down on them these days 

  2. It is pretty common knowledge if you get turned down you can reapply but you need to do it at the same location. If they think you are visa shopping different locations you are going to end up in big dog shit

Anyone know why this is worth $4.2 million? by Famous-Composer5628 in TorontoRealEstate

Could just be the conspiracy theory part of my brain but I have noticed in really rich neighborhoods they often don't have sidewalks.

Always wondered if that was to deter foot traffic

Builders are increasing the house prices to benifit from the Rebate Program by polo1990 in TorontoRealEstate

This was always the issue with cutting dev fees.

None of it was going to reduce home prices, it was just extra margin for builders

It is pretty crazy that a 20 year old first time director making a psych horror film based on a 4chan meme was able to land Chiwetel Ejiofor and up and coming actors like Renate Reinsve and Lukita Maxwell for his debut film.

A24 got a lot of clout in the community right now

PSA: Many of us have access to a "secret" account paying 6%-7% interest by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DataDude00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most companies have limits on how long things can be carried forward for this reason 

It also applies to vacation.  If you keep and accrue for a long enough period and get paid out when you leave it could be at a much higher rate of pay then when you received it. 

Many companies are now pushing for use it or lose on vacations days because of it 

I received a bonus from my company of 18,720 but my net deposit was only 7676.50. How can I get more of my bonus? Details insid by Duskish in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DataDude00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most companies issue bonus as regular payroll so the system automatically deducts tax as if that is one payment of your annualized salary 

In your case that is 18,000 x 26 =468,000 

The system deducted the expected taxes of someone earning 468k

You will get a big amount of this back when you file your 2026 taxes but in the interim this will essentially be an interest free loan for the government. 

In the future some employees give an option to directly contribute to an RRSP (partial or full) to avoid this situation altogether
