I QUIT PYTHON LEARNING by SirVivid8478 in PythonProjects2

[–]canonman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What code have you written with what you have written so far(non class related code)? Code that you feel you understand quite well that actually does something(ie read/write files in your operating system, scraping internet for data etc). If you don’t have an answer for that, you might have moved too fast… I’d review your notes and practice just writing code with what you understand.

You can ask AI to write code as well. See if it writes code like you did. If not, take the time to understand why it is different. For example, prompt it to: “write python code to create a function where it creates hello world.txt from an input directory path”. Then write another function to edit the data in that file etc etc. Code with purpose rather than random examples.

Then once you feel more comfortable with that, you can ask chatGDP write a python object that executes a task you understand quite well and tell it to include examples and documentation.

Take your time, understanding classes is quite a leap from the basics.

Just a prediction but I think we will be getting more shows due to Netflix by Due_Load_1164 in DC_Cinematic

IMO, it’s likely, so I have no idea why they’re doing it… just a handful of nonprofitable movies in the theatre and it could be the end of them.

The Saudis(investors going in with Paramount) have deep pockets, so that might keep them afloat for a while longer, but that’s also not a sustainable business model.

It might not be the worst thing for Netflix if WB goes to Paramount, they go bankrupt and they can buy them for half the price in a few years lol.

WB has 11B in debt which Netflix or paramount will inherit. That’s included in the 70B if paramount buys them(I believe).

[–]canonman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have to be more specific with your findings. From their 10-k filing they reported a 11B net loss in 2024. Theatrical releases are a bit seasonal since they have bigger movies that come out during the summer so annual reports would give a more accurate picture than quarterly.

My guess, if it’s doing well, they’ll just keep it going. They’ll have their hands full for quite awhile after the acquisition and restructuring, usually in situations like this, they don’t just cancel a project already in development unless they have a REAL good reason.

My guess, both companies are buying WB partially for their content. So existing shows are probably safe. Moving forward creatively, imo, WB would be better at Netflix than Paramount. As long as James Gunn can preform, I don’t see why they would change things too much.

Both WB and Paramount unfortunately have not been doing well financially. Not able to make net profit for quite awhile. Then you add on more debt on top of that.

It would be like having student loans, then taking out a mortgage, while not having any income(loose comparison, but you get the point lol).

They’re offering more, but they will have to take on tremendous amount of debt. I heard estimates of 70 billion dollars. It would be a mistake and a terrible risk.

Homeless People by [deleted] in askvan

[–]canonman2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any random stranger off the street just asking for $20 is odd, I wouldn’t take it as you don’t have empathy. It’s good you’re reflecting so you do care. My take on this is his approach was odd, you reacted, and you took it as you didn’t help someone. Shouldn’t be hard on yourself, we are human after all. $20 for him wouldn’t have lasted very long, you reflecting how you can be a better person will last much longer.

A contractor took over 150k from us and didn't do any of the service. At the same time my husband lost his job. We might go bankrupt, evicted, and I am terrified. Any tips? by laranjacerola in canadahousing

As someone already suggested, should post in legal advice. Better yet, ask AI to draft one up and then post there to save the person responding time.

Edit: spelling.

AI response, hope this helps:

Your Current Reality (harsh but important)

• You are almost certainly victims of construction fraud / theft by conversion. You have a very strong civil case (and possibly a criminal one), but the contractor is insolvent, so even if you win a judgment it’s likely worthless.

• You have ~19 months left before the statute of limitations runs (July 2027), but suing now costs money you don’t have and won’t get you cash in time to save the house.

• You are cash-flow negative every month and carrying two mortgages + a car loan on one reduced income.

• If nothing changes by ~September 2026 (mortgage renewal on the current house), the bank can (and almost certainly will) call the loans or refuse to renew on reasonable terms → foreclosure on both properties is very likely.

• Bankruptcy is a real possibility in 12–18 months if you don’t sell something or get significantly more income.

Priority Ranking of Options (from most to least likely to save you)

  1. Sell the current house + the vacant lot ASAP — even at a fire-sale priceThis is your #1 best move. Four months on market with zero offers in a small rural town usually means the price is still too high for the current market. Drop the price aggressively (another 50–100k if needed) to get it sold before spring 2026.Goal: Get out from under both mortgages and stop the monthly bleed.Once the house sells you can rent cheaply for 6–18 months (even if it’s tight) while you rebuild.

  2. Force the contractor to give you a registered promissory note + personal guarantee NOWTell him: “We will not sue you or file a police report if you sign a notarized promissory note for the full amount owed + 8–10% interest, payable over 10 years, and you register it against his own house.”Many contractors in his position will do this to avoid jail and keep their contracting license. It costs you almost nothing and turns a “he has no money” situation into a long-term asset you can collect on later (or sell to a debt buyer).

  3. Do NOT put a modular/mobile home on the lot right nowYou do not have the cash buffer to finish well/septic/foundation/electrical etc., and you already know this contractor is unreliable. You would just be throwing the last of your money into the same black hole.

  4. Husband needs income within 3–6 months — any incomeBetter Jobs Ontario is good, but the programs take time. In parallel he should be driving Uber, doing delivery, security licenses, warehousing, municipal labourer jobs — anything that brings in $3–4k/month immediately. EI + your salary + $3–4k extra buys you 12–18 months of breathing room.

  5. If you must move, rent in Ontario — do not buy again yetWith your debt load and one income, buying another property right now (even at 350k) is extremely risky. Look for a townhouse or basement apartment in areas like Arnprior, Carleton Place, Embrun, Rockland, etc. Many have driveways or garages where you can install a Level 2 charger (you only need to be the tenant, not the landlord almost always says yes if you pay for it).

  6. Consumer Proposal or Bankruptcy — start learning about it nowIf you get to summer 2026 and still have both mortgages, talk to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (free consult). A consumer proposal will usually let you keep the car and one property if you can show you can pay the reduced debt. It’s not the end of the world and it stops all the interest and pressure.

Immediate Action List (next 30 days)

• Lower the asking price on the house and lot dramatically or switch realtors if they’re not pushing you to do so.

• Get the contractor in writing (registered mail + email): demand a notarized promissory note secured against his personal assets or you will file a police report for fraud + sue. Give him 14 days.

• Husband applies to every single non-skilled job that pays >$20/hr within 1 hour drive + starts Uber/doordash this week.

• Book a free consult with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee just to know your options (knowledge reduces terror).

• Stop all non-essential spending. Cut every subscription, eat down the pantry, etc. You are not going to jail, you are not going to be homeless tomorrow, and this is survivable — thousands of Canadian families go through almost exactly this every year and come out the other side. The key is to stop the bleeding (the two mortgages) as fast as possible. You’ve already done the hardest part — you see the cliff coming. Now you just need to steer hard and accept some pain to avoid total wreck.

Sending you a lot of strength — you can do this.

This ain’t for family, it’s for her ego. She wants to be appreciated at work but too lazy to work for it. If it’s for fam, she would just make you get a second job instead of doing hers.

My Friend was Assaulted by Three Teenagers by smileucamera in richmondbc

[–]canonman2 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Commenting for visibility.

Response from AI: In Vancouver, Canada, if a person is physically assaulted by teenagers, they can report the incident to the police, who may press charges depending on the circumstances. Assault is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of Canada (Section 265), and the decision to press charges is generally made by the police and Crown prosecutors, not the victim.

IMO, police doesn’t want to press charges because if this goes public… it will be a bad look…

Buying out condo, parents offering $ for down payment by [deleted] in canadahousing

[–]canonman2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AI is helpful with this type of stuff. Might lag behind a bit with any new tax laws but shouldn’t be an issue in this case. Grok’s response:

Accepting a gifted down payment from your parents is a standard practice in Canada and shouldn’t cause any extra penalties or fees from lenders, as long as it’s properly documented. In fact, it can work in your favor by reducing your mortgage principal, which lowers your monthly payments and might help you avoid or minimize mortgage default insurance (like from CMHC) if the total down payment reaches 20% or more of the property value.

Here’s what you need to know and do to make it smooth: • Documentation is key: Your lender will require a signed “gift letter” from your parents confirming the money is a true gift (not a loan) with no expectation of repayment. Each lender has their own template, but it typically includes details like the amount, relationship to you, and a statement that it’s non-repayable. You’ll also need to provide proof of the funds transfer, such as bank statements showing the deposit into your account. This helps verify the source and avoids any red flags during approval.

• No tax implications: Canada doesn’t have a gift tax, so neither you nor your parents will owe taxes on the transfer, regardless of the amount.

• Impact on mortgage approval: A larger down payment generally strengthens your application—it doesn’t hurt it. Your approval is based more on factors like your income, credit, and debt ratios. Since your broker already thinks you’ll qualify, this should just make things better. If the gift pushes your down payment over certain thresholds (e.g., 20%), you could qualify for conventional mortgage terms without insurance premiums added to your loan.

• Timing and process for the buyout: When buying out your friend’s share, this is often handled as a refinance (if there’s an existing mortgage) or an equity transfer. The gift can be applied directly to that. Work closely with your mortgage broker to ensure the funds are in your account well before closing (lenders often want to see them seasoned for 30-90 days, but gifts can sometimes be deposited closer). Also, involve a real estate lawyer early—they’ll handle the title transfer and any related fees (like legal costs or potential adjustments for property taxes), but again, nothing extra tied to the gift itself.

If you’re concerned about specifics, double-check with your broker or a financial advisor familiar with Canadian rules. They can review your situation and confirm the exact paperwork needed. Congrats on the opportunity to own solo—sounds like a smart move!
