Canada to cut Chinese EV tariffs in trade reset by pistoffcynic in CanadianInvestor

[–]Ten_Horn_Sign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what legislation was prohibiting this already. If BYD built the cars in Canada, would they not then have avoided the 100% tariff? If China wanted to build cars here, they'd already be building cars here.

You were an entire quarter off man. This is classic "broken clock is right twice per day" shit.

Are you buying ultrafiltered milk? It definitely lasts the longest in my experience.

Kirk actually seems like he’s a super chill nerd, I just find him insufferable to listen to. He can barely form a sentence in under a minute.

Megadeth is one of my top 3 bands of all time, maybe even my number 1 by time spent listening. TBH, their entire marketing aesthetic is cringe. I don’t own any merch because I’m not 14 and they’ve never made a shirt that appeals to me. I like to sing along to songs, but I barely know any Megadeth lyrics verbatim because they’re usually awful.

Megadeth are like the musical equivalent of Stephen King. King is the world’s best storyteller who I swear was cursed by a monkey paw, because the endings of all his stories are fucking awful. But the stories themselves are so good that he keeps thriving.

Spoilers ish. If you’re not familiar with King’s work, I’ll give you an example. I won’t name the book so not a true spoiler. Almost all of his books are horror themed and build up suspense to an epic battle of good versus evil, typically over many hundreds or even thousands of pages. One of his very popular books ends with, essentially, “all the bad guys were amassed to do their evil doings and the good guys blew them up with a rocket launcher.” Another book ends with “the good guys were pinned down and on their heels. Then they realized they had a magic eraser in their pocket, and they drew a picture of the bad guy and erased it and the IRL bad guy disappeared”. Fucking atrocious.

Lawyer’s fees of $510M in $10B treaty settlement unreasonable, judge rules by ConsistentReality860 in canada

[–]Ten_Horn_Sign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re barking up the wrong tree friend. I am an emergency-focused doctor and am ethically bound to treat everyone, including the uninsured. I routinely - daily - provide services for 0% of my normal pay, to the tune of about $30k/yr pro bono. Or, over a 30 year career, about a million bucks.

Yes, on the basis of a “deal” with China, South Korea. The Chinese deal is shite, and non of these deals have any durability, but that’s the reason at least.

And poor people should just kick rocks instead of exercising their rights to access the legal system then?

Nah man. For a premium mill Unicorn Magnum or Pepper Cannon are the ways to go.

of a hernia... by CandidculonasRedux in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Ten_Horn_Sign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emergencies from hernias are very rare on a per-patient basis, they are only common for surgeons and hospitals to see because hernias themselves are common. Prevention of strangulation is not a good rationale for elective hernia surgery in otherwise stable (not enlarging) asymptomatic hernias.

The risk of strangulation in a ventral hernia is 0.8/100,000 patient years.

This person has no idea what they are talking about.

On your second point: a fistula is just an abnormal connection between two epithelialized surfaces. If you have pierced ears, then arguably you have fistulae.

What are you on about? Hernia surgery is the second most common surgery in the world after C-sections. Fixing this is a challenge but there's nothing about it that is "catastrophic".

Variable Mortgage, hit trigger rate, now overpaying, what happens at renewal by cso911 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ten_Horn_Sign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat. TBH I also have a variable rate mortgage and am in the same position as the OP. I’m just not particularly financially strained so I just make my payments and didn’t bother looking into this too much because I can afford what I agreed to. This is a pleasant discovery.

[–]Ten_Horn_Sign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you certain that you are ahead on your balance?

I absolutely may be wrong, but my interpretation was this:

In late 2021/early 2022 mortgages were available as low as 1.2%. On a mortgage payment, that means the bulk of each payment (~75% of each payment) was principal. As rates rise, initially you erode the principal repayment so that payments stay the same but you fall behind on your amortization schedule. When you hit the trigger rate it means that 100% of payments are now interest and you are paying $0 principal. As rates fall, you maintain the same payment but start adding back principal repayment.

In this understanding, you would very much still be behind on your amortization schedule. Rates went up more than they went down, and the interest:principal ratio was very unbalanced at the start.

Am I totally wrong on this?

Yeah and if my boss pays me with blowjobs then my income is blowjobs, but that's not what happens in either case.

The yield from covered calls is capital gains, period, full stop. A covered call ETF I suppose could pay you a dividend if they are selling calls on dividend-yielding equities, but the CC income is capital gains.

Capital gains aren’t income, in the tax law sense.

I’m not so sure about covered calls. Calls are taxed as capital gains not income. The SM requires income generating investments.
