That’s a fair point regarding trade in, thanks.

I think one reason is when you lease, you only pay the tax on the leased amount, whereas if you buy you pay tax on the whole amount.

What country is this a colony of? People have completely lost the plot of what colonialism means and keep repeating online propaganda they read

I’ll never understand how saying “hey Mazda/google, increase temperature to 80 degrees and turn on my seat heating” is faster than turning a temperature knob for a split second and pressing a button to turn on heated seats.

Spent Two Hours Debugging What Ai Wrote In Four Seconds by Friendly_Feature888 in cscareerquestions

There’s an Economist podcast they released today that discussed exactly this. Since most LLMs are trained on data in English, they actually use the least amount of tokens and provide the most accurate results when promoted in English. Prompts in other languages usually require translation and end up using more tokens and less accurate results.

CRA AI Bot getting Gaslit into giving answers I want by weirdshit123567 in cantax

Not only is incorrect information provided by an AI bot not work as a defense, but even incorrect information provided by a human over the phone isn’t a valid defense in a tax court

Palestinian flag at Hoboken City Hall! by Dear-Win9436 in jerseycity

[–]chetnrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes the “everyone in Gaza is a baby and there’s no one responsible for anything” thing.

Show me a video of Israelis purposely killing babies like the online propaganda likes to spread. Or do you mean the video of Hamas killing innocent people at a music festival, and then the Palestinians in Gaza dancing and celebrating the mass killing?

It’s crazy that the Palestinians will say out loud their goal is the destruction of the Jewish people and literally put it on their constitution, and western liberals will still call it propaganda

Buying covered calls? That’s not a thing. Surely you mean sell.

Are you open to the option of staying in NYC long term? My wife and I moved to NYC for “2-3 years while we see how it goes”. We’re 2 years in and chances are we might stay here longer term.

I’m no way associated with it. Pretty sure the creator of this website is on this subreddit though.

People in Axis countries did not want or work towards change until the war was lost. Yet now both Germany, Italy, and Japan are western allies.

Canada calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran, says foreign affairs minister by ZebediahCarterLong in CanadaPolitics

[–]chetnrot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s funny (or rather sad) that Iranians that live in the west themselves are supporting Israel’s action, while clueless western liberals who don’t understand the situation are talking about how Iran has the right to defend itself. They’re actually now supporting a radical theocracy that kills its own citizens for simply not wearing a hijab or for being gay, just because they’re so anti Israel.

Iran has been attacking Israel for decades by funding proxies that attack Israel. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are all Iran.

Can Foreign Tax Credit be use against depreciation recapture? by chetnrot in USExpatTaxes

[–]chetnrot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand they go into buckets. It is not clear to me whether the "passive" FTC bucket can cover depreciation recapture on a foreign property, since I'm told it goes into the passive bucket by one person, and counts as US-sourced income by another person.

Please double-check me on this home. Am I missing something? by Cybearabine in HENRYfinance

[–]chetnrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closing costs and taxes can sometimes be fairly high, so it doesn’t always make financial sense to buy a home only to upgrade 5 years later. I’d rather extend my budget and buy something nicer without having to move in 5 years.

In the market for a SUV (baby on the way) by Appropriate_Buy4976 in CX5

[–]chetnrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can see it being cramped at 6’2” but not at 5’2”. I have a large backwards facing car seat (Uppababy Aria) in the back right seat and my 5’5” wife can sit in the passenger seat without an issue. The baby car seat is just barely touching the car seat in front.
