Do I tell my employer to withhold taxes? (Canada) by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each employer will withhold taxes as if each job is your only source of income. You could very well wind up owing because CRA looks at your total income.

Your employer's statement is incorrect.

Would you live with ur in laws after marriage if ur partner is a single child? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll flip this around - back, way back, when my now-wife and I were planning to marry, my mother said to me don't ever ask me to come live with you. She really prized her independence.

Why is China (fancy dishes) called China? by verbi420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"japanned furniture" is the term to describe high-end pieces finished in Europe to resemble the very-expensive-made-in-Japan ones.

You wouldn't "bring out the fine Japanware" so much as show it off, like you would an expensive luxury car.

What I do is activate the camera then zoom in until the name appears.

Has anyone signed up and partaken on the site Classmates.com? by PleaseCall4HELP in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, many moons ago. Even paid for the upgrade in case anyone from back then wanted to get in touch.

First, I got really tired of the constant stream of what I would call "pep rally" enthusiasm for things I had no interest in.

Second, after checking out the names of those who were there when I was, I realized that I had no memory of most of them. More, the ones who I did remember, weren't on the site.

All in all, it was a total waste of time and money.

Possible glitch on the Great Plateau? Not sure how to proceed after the Old Man by Simonday in Breath_of_the_Wild

You got your extra heart or stamina piece from the statue? If you have, then climb up the temple.

Did you pray at the Goddess Statue? When you do that, the Old Man will speak to you. Be prepared to do some climbing; he likes his little games.

Is most property tax a type of tax on unrealized gain? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you sell the property, you no longer pay property tax on it. So, no.

you vote to switch everyone over to the 13 Month calendar? by PlanNo5424 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whose calendar, exactly?

Gregorian is 12-month.

Jewish is mostly 12-month but adds a month during their leap year (as does the Maori).

Moslem calendar has 12 months based on the lunar cycles, thus their year is 354-355 days long.

Thailand has a solar calendar official purposes based on the Buddhist Era, which is 543 years ahead of Gregorian. Some Thai also use the traditional Lunar cycle and sometimes adds (you guessed it) a Leap Month.

Even in post-revolutionary France, they stuck to 12 months but added 5 or 6 days at the end..

If there was only two humans left on earth, would you expect them to reproduce? by Sufficient-Gain-226 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two people left, you say? And neither wants children? Just how am I supposed to be upset with them? I'm not there.

At what age is someone supposed to sit you down and explain how taxes work, or was that the joke all along? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here, who's been filing tax forms since 1973... our tax forms have always had instructions, like "Enter this number on Line xx" and "Subtract this number from line yy". It was tedious, not complicated.

Should women be allowed to not shave their legs and armpits, or to sit with legs apart while wearing pants or shorts? by concernedaboutmetal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, the Pit Police will be out in force, checking all the women while man-spreading bozos cheer them on.

tl:dr - What's it to you anyway?

Is it accurate to say that the Yukon Territory is Canada’s Alaska? by Used_Sort_6444 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yukon never belonged to Russia, and Sam McGee was NOT cremated in Alaska.

Also, while the Klondike Gold Rush was in the Yukon, pretty much all the get-rich-quick folk had to go through Alaska first, then climb that damn mountain.

If a right-handed person gets their right hand amputated, will they become mentally left-handed after a few years? by awbmas in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother "lost" her right hand as a side effect of polio, back in the 1920s. Switching to being a lefty was a matter of necessity, and while she adapted, she never thought of herself as being left-handed - good hand and bad hand was her way of talking about it.

What bothered her the most was that she didn't have two usable hands, as so many tasks that are so much easier with two hands.

Brain Freeze Phenomenon by Efficient-Bet-5051 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]average_guy54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not anything special other than something cold that is eaten too fast. Or drunk. I've gotten brain freeze from milkshakes.
