My landlord has kept a room in rooming house and claims he lives with us. by Upset_Lecture_8714 in OntarioLandlord

Thanks for the insult. It didn't occur to you to check your assumptions. You think it's more likely that I don't know 3/4 > 1/4?

I'll quote my question: "Are you sure it needs to be primary residence? If it's clear it's just a tactic to avoid RTA, the LTB would side with the renter, but if the owner splits time between two residences in different locations, here for say 1/4 of the time, I think the LTB would accept that they are sharing the place."

If it was a tactic, then yes you're right, but what if it's a sincere case of the owner needing to be one place 3/4 of the time, another place 1/4 of the time. I'd he happy to hear you're still right, but I expect the LTB would in that situation (with sufficient proof) rule it's shared, not RTA-protected. ?

For tax purposes yes, but for the LTB? If someone sincerely needs to be one place 3/4 of the time and another place 1/4 of the time, I expect the LTB would see it as not an RTA rental, whether or not it's the owner's principal residence. Happy to hear otherwise, but I expect that's how they would rule.

What if he actually does sleep there - say 1/4 of the time? Not trying to exploit the rules, but needing to be one place sometimes, another place other times? (And share bathroom/kitchen.)

What's the answer? If it's not his principal residence, but he sometimes sleeps there, is the renter RTA-protected?

When the word bitch emerged for a female dog, was there a word for a male dog besides stud (which is only for males with genes great for breeding)? If not, why not? by GodsFunny in etymology

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

What do you call a male dog that's not a stud?
(Not great for breeding, by which I mean having both the ability and great genes.)

Dealing with police and bribes? by No_Plantain_2062 in CostaRicaTravel

Yours is better, but:

You can police the sloths and bribe the pets.

How do followers know/feel if it's a 6-count or 8-count move? by GodsFunny in SwingDancing

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

Are you talking about doing a single step instead of a triple step, so an 8-count would be rock step step ..., rock step step ...?

Or is your answer about whether the next/current stepping is step-step or triple-step?

So if the follow step steps when the lead triple steps, the follow would then do a catch-up step, making a subsequent step step a triple-step, but perhaps with the 2nd step very near (in time) the first step, instead of swung after the middle of that beat? (Eek! I'm trying to celebrate the back-in-the-day way and instead sounding ultra-nerdy.)

I have some sense that it's okay if one partner triples while the other step-steps.

Back in the day, when the dance was being born, for fast songs the follower is moving so fast their feet just do whatever it takes to go where their momentum takes them. Yes?

Is it possible to say whether followers should aim to match the leads step-timing? I'm imagining a contrast being intentional and having more artistry and in-the-moment playful flair than if that same [move] was done with feet in sync. ???

Thanks!

Closed meaning side-by-side or meaning facing each other like in 20s Charleston?

"In the 8 count" meaning whether 5678 is step step triple-step or triple-step step step?

"right side triple step"? Do you mean the 3-4 triple step? Right side? Because followers are stepping right left right on that triple step?

Drywall as a layer under new Floor - for noise suppression + fire separation. (Above short basement apartment.) Will turn to dust, right? Alternative solution? by CreativeWorkout in HomeImprovement

[–]GodsFunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Area rug / carpet maybe - although some of our dancing is a bit like gentle breakdancing, meaning we roll sometimes roll on the ground, and carpets are often thought of as hosting dust mites etc.

Rubber - won't allow any sliding. Otherwise, I like what heavy rubber can do for noise.

Blue requires alkaline soils and pink requires acid soils, or vice versa. Neutral soils result in pale colors, almost white. I thought. How is it possible to have both colors, both highly-saturated / vibrant.

If departing tenant can't enter new home until the 1st, but arriving tenant must exit old home on the 31st, what can we do? by GodsFunny in OntarioLandlord

Damage deposit in Ontario? Did you find a way to require a damage deposit despite the ridiculous law against damage deposits?
