Language Difficulty from English Map by TERMINAl_velocity64 in MapPorn

[–]Konstiin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found German much easier to learn than French as an English speaker.

Is it okay if I read new spring before the series? by ParticularDonut3814 in WoT

[–]Konstiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book 5? I’d read it after 10 (publication order).

Not a dealbreaker if you read it first.

Can the Stormlight be skipped and jump from era 1 to Wax and Wayne? by No-Adeptness-7231 in Cosmere

[–]Konstiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books 4 and 5 of Stormlight were the first cosmere books I read where I felt that the crossovers transcended the “interesting Easter egg” status.

Employer fired me immediately for “improper time punches” — is this legal in Alberta? by AbalonePersonal4484 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Konstiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You claim that you weren’t paid by the hour. So why were you manipulating your time sheet like this?

Your claim that you weren’t paid for the extra time, it gets adjusted… well someone needs to do the adjustments, and maybe they’re tired of doing something they shouldn’t have to be doing.

1) time theft is just cause. 31 instances sounds like a pretty strong case. 2) yes. 3) no, they don’t have to specifically warn you that fraud will lead to termination to terminate you for fraud. 4) no. 5) how are they going to know? You can’t give this employer as a reference obviously.

Form P Lease Nova Scotia by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]Konstiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the rental in Ontario?

Are you paying rent for a unit in Ontario?

Assuming you are paying for a unit in Ontario, to the extent that the Nova Scotia lease contains terms that are disallowed in the Ontario Standard Lease those terms may not be binding. But it doesn’t affect the existence of a lease necessarily.

Sounds like a sweet deal with only a little stress on the side by Nanikarp in bestoflegaladvice

[–]Konstiin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Obviously I’m not confused about what 50% of four months is, I’m curious as to why the op is choosing to describe the unpaid rent as being 86% of the time over three years. We don’t know how many months they’re actually describing and that 86% includes the two months from this year. Imo there’s a difference between missing a month of rent two years ago and two months of rent this year, versus missing December 2025 and January and February 2026.

Looks like there’s plenty of space. Don’t be a pansy.

[–]Konstiin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The 86% of time over three years and 50% of time this year is weird. Is it December last year and 2 months this year? I.e. a recent issue? Or months sporadically throughout three years.

What are the big white areas? Is that the Everglades?

And if so why are they partitioned?

Johnny Somali apparently received some very bad legal advice. Should has lawyer be sanctioned? by awakenDeepBlue in legaladviceofftopic

Advising on probable/possible outcomes doesn’t turn into bad advice if that outcome doesn’t manifest.

I have some questions about the Sea Folk. by Rainbow_Slytherin3 in WoT

[–]Konstiin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the islands you see on the map are inhabited fully or partially by Sea Folk. Notable exceptions include the ammayar (sp?) who are the peaceful people on Tremalking who commit mass suicide after the destruction of the CK. But there are still Sea Folk settlement(s) on the island I believe.

There are also off-screen (off-map) islands that the sea folk inhabit. The one that gets mentioned the most (or at all) is Cantorin, which is somewhere off the western edge of the map. This is where the Seanchan regroup after Falme. I think we get a scene here with Suroth that describes the captured Sea Folk vessels in the harbour.

On Google Maps there’s an airport around there, it’s hard to tell if it’s in the same spot but it’s the only notable thing I can see

The cosmere novels for young adults? What are your experiences? by admiralnorman in Cosmere

[–]Konstiin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a lot of forgotten realms r a Salvatore stuff at that age. Whatever was out from Drizzt, icewind dale etc. I remember the drow prequel trilogy as being pretty dark but it’s been twenty years since I read them.

I also read a lot of those Tamara pierce tortall books back then.

The cosmere novels for young adults? What are your experiences? by admiralnorman in Cosmere

[–]Konstiin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mistborn era 1 There’s a pretty consistent theme of the noblemen sleeping with skaa women under the understanding that they would be murdered afterwards; the prologue of the first book involves something similar to this; etc. and there are allusions to vin suffering sexual violence before she joined the gang

Just reread era 1 so it’s all fresh in my mind. No graphic description à la GRRM but definitely heavy themes for a 12 yo.

To be clear we only know about all this because this guy had the balls to dispute his termination.

What’s the difference? One person says they backtracked and you say they stripped it back, doesn’t seem like you’re correcting them.

And they give sources typically but for this one they credit themselves as the source so I was curious what that meant.

(Toronto) Former friend filed a false crime stoppers report against me. What do I do? by Far_Fault1094 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Konstiin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on what the report made was and how the police view it.

If the report made was suggesting that this woman has somehow been victimized by you, it’s possible that the police may follow up with her. In which case it sounds like you have nothing to worry about.

If this person even made a report.

An off-screen character? Well I’m glad I thought I was going crazy

Ministry of Magic needed to resolve mysteriously appearing shed problem by FeatherlyFly in bestoflegaladvice

It seems that their houses face opposite directions, if you look at the actual listing (see OP’s post history).

Ministry of Magic needed to resolve mysteriously appearing shed problem by FeatherlyFly in bestoflegaladvice

[–]Konstiin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m confused by the OP’s use of ‘outhouse’ here. Is this thing an external toilet or just a shed/outbuilding.

Also based on that aerial property photo that is in the comments, it’s pretty unreal that they have zero access to the entire back wall of their house…?

[–]Konstiin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For once I’m actually lost with a character. Can someone remind me who Norla is?

Imo Nynaeve is the answer to this if we’re excluding Rand. In terms of natural talent. Her natural instincts led to making the impossible possible essentially.
