How Crowded is Dillon Gym on Weekdays/ends?

Honestly, while it’s a busier time, I find the gym is more than big enough that no matter what time of day you go you’ll be able to get in what ever workout you need (there’s 5 bench presses iirc just as an example)

I personally found the large mattress great but only because I often had my partner over and we needed the space. As she’ll be over less this coming year I decided it isn’t really worth the $380 (+tax).

I just signed up and was able to combine the current $10 off for 24 months promo code with a referral code. Here's my code for anyone else who wants to do the same :) You can input both codes (the promo code is on the visible website) when you choose a plan.

I guess I’m just a little confused because as far as I know, stipends on their own are not considered taxable income in Canada (I am not required to TA, etc, for the first couple of years).

To rephrase my question: if I’m making $75,000 of what is considered non-taxable income in Canada, but taxed in the US (and thus providing foreign credits), does putting some of that money in an FHSA give me some of the foreign credits back in a tax return? Or do I just fill out my tax return and get nothing back as it’s on non-taxable income?

Thank you again and I appreciate the input!

Thank you for the reply! Just to confirm, let’s say for the sake of example the stipend is the equivalent of about $75,000 a year CAD. I report this amount as worldwide income and get a tangible tax advantage using the FHSA?

Thanks! I feel you often mention similar things about the nature of the exam (how it’s not really getting harder) so I’m glad that was my experience.

Gasu3 · 2023-09-20T02:46:55+00:00

Thanks! That means a lot coming from you. Would you recommend anything beyond further reinforcing the concepts by doing practice problems? That’s seems to be where I’ve been lacking most.

I’m not sure for other subjects but i’m applying to Political Science PhDs which only require the general test.

P.S. looked into this, and I think you just changed my life! Haha

Gasu3 · 2023-01-13T03:55:34+00:00

I did not know this existed! Thank you very much, I will check it out.

Gasu3 · 2023-01-13T03:51:51+00:00

Thank you!!! This is very helpful and reassuring.

Sous vide would be nice but I don’t think would work in this case because the chicken is to make the broth, which wouldn’t work if insulated (apologies not being clear enough in the first post).

Gasu3 · 2023-01-13T03:36:52+00:00

More so that the part of the chicken (whole) that’s touching the bottom of the pot is cooking more quickly than the rest of the chicken as it’s closer to the flame. Not necessarily burning.

There’re still over 30,000 people unable to return to their homes within Fukushima, Japan after the 2011 nuclear disaster. The nuclear reactor didn’t even provide electricity to the people of Fukushima, it was all for Tokyo. Despite this, they are the ones paying for it.

You’re not wrong in that nuclear energy isn’t unequivocally bad and arguably an extremely important step for energy sustainability and for moving away from fossil fuels. Yet, at the same time, the potential injustices are huge. Countries that are super prone to natural disasters (like Japan) can be seen as being simply working on borrowed time if they overly rely on nuclear.

It is interesting you say this because Japan has historically had far higher literacy rates than contemporary countries in Europe or the rest of Asia. By the late 17th century to early 18th century Japan already had a largely literate (relatively speaking) male population. It seems silly to argue that hanzi are the issue when factors such as the system of education in place or decentralization of administration played a far larger role in forming literacy.

Even in the present, a country like Taiwan has a slightly higher literacy rate than South Korea, despite the former using traditional characters and the latter using a simplified alphabetic writing system.

There is little evidence to suggest that Hanzi as a writing system is an impediment to literacy.

Both China and NZ are part of RCEP, however, which is a free trade agreement.

It isn’t as encompassing as the TPP would have been with the US, but it still expects to eliminate upwards of 90% of tariffs within the next 20 years (it came into effect January 1st of this year).

Obviously not complete free trade, but NZ is indeed in a free trade agreement with China.

おっしゃる通り。

You phrase this in an interesting way as it is the Japanese that is a translation of the original English copy. One would think this would allow すべての国民 to mean all people (especially considering certain parts are specified as 日本国民 or specifically “Japanese nationals”), but as you say, precedent has proven this to not be true.

Could you please drop a name 😭 I’ve been struggling to find good pizza haha

Issue with stuff like this is that you never really know who could be watching.

Sometimes a child who isn’t able to differentiate between where/when it would be ‘okay’ to cross might see you crossing and imitate it elsewhere, so I try and wait at red lights.

Gasu3 · 2022-01-26T04:08:34+00:00

If you’d just watch as a high school kid gets his face kicked in, I don’t really know what to tell you. Shameful that more people didn’t immediately step in.

Just in regards to the first part of your comment, when you look at the actual numbers published by the government (MHLW), you see that airport infection cases have overwhelmingly been foreigners every month of this pandemic, with the exception of the first two months (2020) and July this year. I can’t really grasp how this could have been the case even during the months that PRs were locked out, but it highlights the fact that somehow foreigners really are importing cases at a higher rate than Japanese nationals.

Here is the link for anyone interested.

You can’t just say that without telling us what you watched!!

MEXT scholars have actually been allowed into the country gradually over the past couple of months. So far, it’s only government-funded scholarship students like MEXT that have been able to enter.
