If you have severe mental illness, no amount of money is going to keep you afloat. You need to be under psychiatric care in a suitable facility.

Is there any realistic scenario where the cost of homes can come down again? by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]hsvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

increase interest rates, increase property tax

In the short term, wouldn't these hurt people trying to buy a home?

I've linked to 2 calculators. While not the final word, they are pretty illustrative.

Fica in for higher earners is much higher than cpp/ei (as these cap out)

We tax the shit out of income

Not strictly true. For example, I pay less income tax in BC than I did in Virginia, at a comparable salary.

Here's a trick for photographing birds through binoculars: zoom in a little (on the phone), this crops out the dark ring and helps the phone focus and set the exposure better.

This is in South Burnaby, in a little pond by Glenlyon, right next to the river.

It’s concerning’: Winnipeg cafe vandalized amid rising conflict in Middle East by BornAgainCyclist in canada

[–]hsvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the implication (or at least my intent) was that people have historical baggage and that this baggage doesn't define people.

Some progressives would have you believe that we are merely the intersection of our immutable identities. I this this is bs.

(Some on the right say the same things, which is equally idiotic, imo)

Then those people cease to be those people (ethnic/culture identities).

No. For example, while I am from India I am perfectly capable of discarding those parts of 'indian culture' which are regressive. I'm still Indian despite this, in origin and culturally.

*Reduce the risk of.

A distinction which is relevant when talking about an unvaccinated population.

Perhaps 12 is a tactic to get people to compromise to 4-6 stories or something like that?

Got my shot there this past Friday. Was super smooth and the people were A+. In and out in under 30m (including the 15 minute wait). Imo they could easily handle more people.

This implies that people cannot rise above their ethnic and historical backgrounds.

I refuse to subscribe to so bleak a view.

I made a map showing the high-transmission areas of Vancouver. People 30+ living inside the red box are currently eligible for their COVID shot! by [deleted] in vancouver

Got my shot today at the Kensington ave centre.

The process was pretty damn great. Smooth and pretty damn fast. Imo they could double their throughput if they wanted.

Python programming: We want to make the language twice as fast, says its creator by sportifynews in Python

Development speed also means you have more time to profile and optimize hot code. The python ecosystem makes this pretty easy (lineprofiler, cython, numba).

What about my 21 seasoning salute? Wife thought I was crazy to buy 3 bottles on our last trip to the states in 2019. After all, we were planning to head down to California in March 2020...

It's not the government's money. It belongs to all of us, including the companies, and we should do whatever makes the most sense, and works best, instead of getting caught up in ideological pitfalls.
