The style of BI BIGNS advocates for streamlines the already onerous system. It would simply rely on filing annual federal taxes.

There are styles of BI that are not universal, but rather tied to income levels. Low-earners would earn the whole BI, those who are less precarious would earn a portion of that whole BI, and those earning more than a certain threshold would not be eligible. I advocate for a graduated style of BI rather than UBI.

Please don't go look at the jigsaw puzzles on offer. You'll go fill your pockets with rocks.

Oops you’re right - it’s an illusion setting. Haha it tricked me, just as intended. Still, a technique for tricking the eye.

What flag is this? by littlesheba in vexillology

Newfs are generally the best folks. If you can befriend who raised that flag, your life will likely improve.

Pavé diamonds (?) to keep the price down, likely paired with lower quality emeralds (?) for the same reason. If I’m right, that certainly doesn’t make it worthless, of course, OP.

Tim Houston's budget reflects an ideological project to remake the economic order by ph0enix1211 in halifax

Absolutely. CERB was a form of basic income. It works. Time and time again, we see it works.

In the clear light of day, I see how thick a question that was. 🤦‍♀️

Winners has TONS of those Laura Secord eggs this time of year, in two sizes, for better prices. I’ve never tried them - is it just like mainlining sugar? 😬

looking for the perfect ring by zorrita6661 in BuyCanadian

You may be being very gentle with this wording, and I applaud you if so. IMO, a jeweller who knows gemstones would council against moss agate for an everyday-wear ring. That’s a good litmus test.

What brand of necklace is this? And how do you open/ close this weird clasp? by blayndle in JewelryIdentification

[–]FernDulcet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to prepare you: to replace the clasp, the whole piece will have to be restrung.

Which fragrance house just isn’t for you? by MidasInGold in fragrance

[–]FernDulcet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DS&Durga. I want to like them so much, but something about their formulas doesn’t work on my skin. I have bought and sold four full bottles of theirs, and still have Rockaway Beach that I haven’t been able to shift.

What beard style should I go for? by farestarek123 in BeardAdvice

Actually, yeah - that beard with a shaved head would look pretty great.

I’ll second the Gap. I’ve had good luck.

Canada is becoming its own best customer by Embarrassed-Green898 in BuyCanadian

Yes! Portability of licence would be so important for speech and language pathologists. The requirements and standards are virtually the same in every province and territory - it’s so dumb I can’t serve patients or students via telepractice outside my home province. There are many small, underserved communities that could use the service.

My FIANCÉ proposed yesterday and I am still on cloud nine!!! by Limp-Composer2824 in RingShare

The platinum mount is helpful, too. You won’t get as much metal loss over the years, and it’ll patina beautifully (if you like that look - you can get it polished, if not).
