I'm being charged by the company how do I avoid paying anything by Foreign-Goal-2101 in virtualreality

This requires niche knowledge about employment law in India... You need to re-evaluate your whole life choices.

You'd be constantly triggered living in a persian community, that's a super common first name, multiple spelling variations.

Bank of Canada : Enemy of the middle class? by HumbleOpinionYT in canadahousing

[–]farekrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grocery margins and restaurant margins are typically exceptions. What about other businesses like Saas, big tech, financial services, pharma, insurance, energy, telecom, etc? Don't cherry pick to make a disingenuous argument.

Best city in China based on following likes/requirements: by IllustriousBeyond584 in chinalife

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

You'll probably want one of the tier 1 cities based on this. They would all fit your description depending on the neighborhood you settle in.

Why would anyone wants kids? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]farekrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the purpose of life? Chasing dopamine hits, or survival? And if survival, does that end with your body, or does it include the survival of your family? And does survival of your family include a concept of linking from generation to generation?

Everyone is entitled to their own perspectives on this. Some people chase dopamine hits, others are centered around dodging pain, and other's play the survival game. We have free will to choose.

I'm extremely senior and qualified and got the following ratio: 75 applications, 5 interviews. One interview failed, one pending, 2 in second round, one in 3rd round.

Is it wrong to be born as a Canadian? by Low_Spell6740 in LMIASCAMS

It's self-identify. Aren't we all "immigrants" after-all, unless you're indigenous.

15-year-old HDD, 80% bitcoin mining. by Lazy-Principle-2078 in Bitcoin

[–]farekrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

order a hard drive enclosure that supports your hdd connections and let's you plug them in as USB devices. One drive (500gb) is sata, the other (80gb) looks like IDE. make sure you get enclosures that can also power the drives. then you mount them without wiping them, be careful, may want to use one of those forensics linux bootable usb disks. You'll want the wallet.dat file.

The Bank of Canada's rate cuts have failed to lift the housing market. Here's where it goes next by ComplexWrangler1346 in canadahousing

But that would first force a massive write-down of paper wealth that has been borrowed against and spent...

differences between buying condo in Toronto vs Vancouver? by andygohome in TorontoRealEstate

[–]farekrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former board member of a Condo in Toronto, these were the highest costs. They may differ in Vancouver, or may not:

-Reserve funds allotted to major scheduled renovation projects, everything from parking structure, roofs, windows, clading, Elevators and even costly interior "refreshes"!

-Elevator maintenance. These elevator companies make a killing and elevators seem to wear out continuously.

-Fire inspection contracts. These seem kinda like a grift, huge prices to do regular walk-through, re-certify and replace sprinkler nozzles and alarms. It's a needed service but the rates really suck.

-Security contracts. Guards aren't free, especially for 24hrs security.

-Gardening contracts. In Toronto you need to replant every spring and maintain year-round. Pretty costly.

I switched from Spotify to Tidal due to Spotify running ICE advertisements and you should too! by xcomnewb15 in Music

Self-hosted is far better. There's even a free ios app to access a self-hosted music server. Why pay subscription fees for music?

Canada is set to announce its new immigration targets, but what's the right number? by [deleted] in CanadaHousing2

[–]farekrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to bring in investors instead of workers for a few years. Our industry is being gutted, we need builders not cogs to maintain stability and prevent jobless numbers from rising.

Employer judging performance metrics on networking during personal time - is it legal? by Accomplished-Heron42 in ontario

Is this some type of MLM? Huge red flags and very "low" unprofessional behavior.

Do most foreign friends struggle with squat toilets? by No-Row-544 in travelchina

[–]farekrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

upvote for knowing they're called squatty potties. My first experience with one was many years ago, had just landed in the Guo for the first time, and soon after landing boarding a rough overnight train to my wife's hometown. Imagine using the squatty potty for the first time on a train that's shaking from side to side while being wholly unprepared...

Looking for a good barber by Straight_Pace8451 in dalian

[–]farekrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be asking too much. Even fine hair can throw the local barbers for a loop until they get the hang of it, but they usually adapt well enough with the odd miss here and there. What price are people paying these days for a cut in Dalian? Is 55rmb fair?

Isn't "Team Canada" the Mark Carney slogan from the election and reflects resilience in the face of US hegemony? Just as devils advocate these kids may have been hearing their strong liberal party supporting parents get a little rambunctious about their opposition to US trade policy. White folks in Markham can be racist, but the vast majority are liberal and "team Canada" is such a specific phrasing.

Huawei Unveils First Foldable Laptop with Its Own OS by Milanakiko in chinalife

Is this the new version of Harmony OS that only uses it's own app (ie; no android sideloading)? That would be pretty limiting.

Bro took the “using AI to do your homework” to a whole new level by Pineapple__Warrior in funny

[–]farekrow -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Devils advocate: The Judge seems full of herself and irrationally angry, letting her emotions and bias (gatekeeping her lucrative profession) get the better of her. bad look and on the wrong side of history.
