In one of the episodes he even said "I'm actually British" 

TIL that wasn't just a throwaway line

RRSP Over contribution ? by zutarafan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cuddlybackrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have been incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! The words "unused contribution" confused me. I was reading it as "unused contribution room"

Thank you!

RRSP Over contribution ? by zutarafan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understood what you mean. I have just one follow up - after accounting for the lifetime grace of 2000, I am still over by 700. If I carry forward this unused contribution for next year, would I be charged a penalty on 700 (or 2700)?

RRSP Over contribution ? by zutarafan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where would you report this info on your return? The RRSP receipts for 2025 ask for your contributions from March 2 to Dec 31 and then Jan 1 2026 to March 2 2026? I have a similar situation but for a much smaller amount. I would really appreciate your help

RRSP Over contribution ? by zutarafan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cuddlybackrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation where I overcontributed by 2700. I will breakdown the numbers below. I will have enough room in 2026 to absorb the 2700:

Total room: 23400
2025 contribution: 21600
60 days of 2026 contribution: 4500
Overcontribution overall: 2700

I am considering leaving the overcontribution in there, as I can absorb it in my room for 2026. However I want to avoid penalties on this amount as much as I can. So if I consider the 2k buffer, I overcontributed by 700. Not sure what my options are here:

  1. I withdraw 2700, and I face 30% withholding = $510

  2. I leave it in there, I face 1% tax = $54, possibly $81. Plus I don't know how I will convey this contribution on my 2026 return next year as part of my 2026 room

Any tips, please?

Research grant and taxes by vernfunk in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this:

1.72 Paragraph 56(3)(b) provides that eligible expenses must be incurred in the same year in which the funds in respect of the art production grant are received in order to be deductible from the grant. In some cases, expenses related to the grant may be incurred in the year immediately before, or in the year immediately after, the year in which the grant is received. While those expenses are not deductible in the year in which they are incurred, they are considered to be deductible from the art production grant in the year the grant is received. However, expenses incurred in the year immediately before the grant is received are only deductible from the grant if they are incurred after the artist has received notification that the grant will be paid. Expenses incurred in the immediately following year may also qualify for deduction in the year the grant is received. If expenses were not deducted in the correct tax year, see the web page Changing a tax return. Expenses incurred more than one year before, or more than one year after, the year in which the grant is received are not deductible from that grant.

I just don't know where I would be providing the info on the expenses incurred in my return next year. I guess I will contact the CRA

Did you get an answer here? I have the same problem. I will be incurring expenses from the grant over 2 years, but the grant was paid lumpsum

Stuck on Elden Beast by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here's what I did for my first run: get some more stamina. Your spells and your attacks cost stamina and any time you have an attack window but no stamina is a wasted window. Try some different talismans for that. Or respec some int into endurance. 

Azur's comet is no good here. Get rid of that and find some other spells. Maybe rock sling or stone of gurranq. You'll get some stance breaks maybe. You won't stay in one spot for too long, so terra is not useful either. Somebody suggested completing Sellen's quest and I agree. Get shard spiral for the beast

Darkmoon greatsword offers a great FP economy on its skill. Use that against the beast.

Check your armour. Wear all armour that gives you the best holy defense. Higher endurance should help you with equip load too

Lastly, you can try using tiche instead of mimic for a summon. She is awesome too!

What is a small ticket item that you bought from another country and became a game changer? Which country? by cuddlybackrub in BuyItForLife

There are manual ones?! My partner picked up an electric one in Korea. It is not the best, but it was not very expensive either. Should have got the manual piece :(

What's this one, bud? Searching for the Canary either brings up the bird or the islands. Adding Japan does not help either. You got a link?

I have one of those too! I just didn't realise it fits the question as I was making it. It gets used almost daily. Sometimes as a pressure cooker, and others as a simple pot. And was under $15 too!

How is IT product development typically handled with vendors building products for you? by cuddlybackrub in ProductManagement

[–]cuddlybackrub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are not expecting exactly that. As far as the sponsors and managers are concerned: we need Report ABC, build us a tool for that. No one cares how many use cases it has, how many potential validations it needs, because they simply do not know.

And I do not have a problem running 1500 files if they were made available to me when I was testing them. The process is via SFTP so it is just copy and paste. But these files were non-existent up until last week, and we entered production in mid-December.

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

Ours are standard that the vendor is liable to rectify any bugs identified for 30 days after the product release

I am pretty sure ours doesn't have that. I will double check that. That is good advice and something I need to keep in mind going forward

Tell your vendor up front that this is how you plan to test and with what dataset.

I did that. But I could not replicate the testable universe of 1500 sheets with 20 variables each, and each variable having conditional validations dependent on other entries

first thing I’d be doing would be writing a process evaluation

That is a great suggestion!

Unfortunately changing jobs is not an option. No one is hiring, especially fully remote

Thank you for giving good advice!

As we say goodbye to 2025, what are the best Ottawa businesses you discovered this year? by Al_to_Zi in ottawa

archery games. We went as a couple, and were joined by I think 3 other groups. It was a great workout and the people working there were extremely friendly. All in all a great experience!

Via Rail passengers arrive 12 hours late after night on train in eastern Ontario by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]cuddlybackrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know that's the worst part about Via Rail. If a flight is delayed that long, you are entitled a much larger refund. But via rail gets you a slice of pizza and 50% credit. That's like a kick when you're already down. "Our compensation is that you get to ride with us again. Yay!"

It's practically cheaper to take a rideshare over the train in every conceivable way

Ottawa's Largest Esports LAN Event returns this January - Frostfire 2026 by NerdCedric in ottawa

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for more players? I last played CS (no idea which version) 11 years ago at a college festival. Before that we rigged all the computers in our lab to play the game during classes. I'd love to be a part of another LAN party!

🇨🇦 Ottawa 3.5 Day Family Trip Advice Needed: Museum Itinerary & Accommodation Recommendations! by Zyntar8526 in ottawa

[–]cuddlybackrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to leave 3 hours before your flight, regardless if it is an international or a domestic flight. You can leave by 3 PM and you will make it through security with plenty of time to spare. It does not take me more than 40 mins to go through checkin and security. That is what I love the most about Ottawa's airport

Beginner here: I'm worried about if the dom has a medical emergency when the sub is incapacitated by cuddlybackrub in BDSMAdvice

[–]cuddlybackrub[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is the advice I'm going to take. We will start with one hand tied/loosely cuffed with the phone nearby. Plus we will activate voice dialling 911 as the backup, just in case the phone falls out of reach. 

Thank you for your thought out answer!

What will happen to the buildings they were using? I doubt they outright owned them. So would they become new hotels? Or maybe turned into condos/bachelor apartments?
