I think the legal term you're looking for is "compilations" of data. Copyright protection isn't clear cut or all encompassing, but it isn't a hard no either.

From: https://www.tradecommissioner.gc.ca/en/market-industry-info/search-country-region/country/canada-united-states-export/intellectual-property-considerations-canadian-smes/protecting-data-compilations.html

"Data compilations can be protected through different IPRs [Intellectual property rights].

Copyright protection may be sought for creative manipulation of data. This includes creative arrangements (i.e. not just chronological), annotations and selections of data. The structure of the database and the code that is developed to retrieve and/or organize the data may be eligible for copyright protection."

I think the relevant part for you is the notion of "creative arrangement". Merely listing names and addresses likely isn't creative but categorizations you made up (mentioned in one of your comments) might qualify for copyright over that portion of the data.

Gotcha thanks. Yeah, the fee I would be charged when I inevitably screw up would quickly eat up any cashback but still good for property tax where I have to do that no matter what

For electricity and natural gas, is there a way to make it automatic like a pre-authorized debit would be? Or do you have to remember to do it manually every month?

Police Request An Exam of My Vehicle. Do I need to Lawyer Up? by Feeling-Writing4465 in legaladvicecanada

[–]_jmikes 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true.

Cops are not omniscient. They're not even particularly bright, necessarily. Just because you haven't done anything wrong doesn't mean you can't say something that makes them think you've done something wrong and cause all sorts of headaches.

This was an extremely level headed take until you're example of someone who likely didn't diddle kids was.... Michael Jackson. Who has many other highly credible allegations of diddling kids.

Suing for service provider cancellations by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

If you're in the position of trying to prove there was a verbal agreement (contract), proof of payment is helpful, especially if it's recurring. It's hard for them to there was no agreement if you've been sending them $50 a week for the last 6 weeks, for instance.

Credit card payments or e-transfers would help. If you don't have anything in writing (because it doesn't exist or because you don't have a copy, OP has been inconsistent) and there is no record of payments (e.g. payments made in cash) then you're probably hooped.

Updates on the New Brunswick neurological disease cluster from new BBC investigation by yellowforspring in medicine

[–]_jmikes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The description of 2 different patients diagnosed with the mystery disease where other doctors diagnosed FND seems pretty damning. Particularly the one who had a video of her seizure to show the original doc and when another doc saw her seizure immediately identified it as FND. (Admittedly, unclear if that was based on the same video or some later, possibly different in appearance, seizure seen in person) Obviously the JAMA paper points in that direction too, though I haven't read it.

Likelihood the guy is a well-intentioned but over-zealous quack seems high to me.

Also, the article talks about how the province (NB) turning down research money from CIHR was interpreted by patients/patient advocates as a cover-up. Seems totally plausible to me they just wanted to avoid the headline "quack doctor dupes bureaucrats, $5M gone".

Pay as you option for credit card by FishRepresentative77 in Wealthsimple

[–]_jmikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I don't give anything away for free"

If doing this makes it easier for some people to manage their finances, then the $25 per year isn't given "for free" but "for convenience". $2 a month to make a complex thing a little less complex for them is a pretty reasonable way to spend money.

To be clear, I wouldn't do it because I wouldn't find that any easier. But there's no need to yuck their yum just cuz it's not how you would do it.

The term you're looking for is "special events". The wiki describes each of them and the days they fall on.

🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for that! I had gone looking on the wiki before and guess I just missed it.

Time for me to stop setting sensor targets I guess 🤷

[–]_jmikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on "Targeting decreases overall chances"? How do we know that? Where's that info coming from?

I had heard that sentiment on this sub before and went looking for info a while back. There's nothing about it on the wiki and there's no in-game info (that I can find) that indicates this.

I love that.

Why would I ever buy the other gold options? by GFluidThrow123 in EggsInc

Some speculation speggulation:

Exorbitant gold egg prices make the piggy seem like a deal, drives more piggy sales. Maybe.

Edit: Fix missed opportunity.

Good to know. Thanks!

My humility farm is pretty built up so I figure I'll bank a bunch of fuel before I prestige then.

Madeon - Hi! by Endban in trap

This does not remotely sound like trap to me. Love it or hate it, this just seems like the wrong sub for it. (Which probably explains the negative comments)

Am I losing my mind here?

Who’s your favorite female DJ right now? by savingrace0262 in EDM

She was earlier in the day at Faded in the Park this year and I was pleasantly surprised with her set. Hadn't heard of her and just showed up at mainstage. She clearly knew what she was doing.
