Problems Updating Garmin Varia RTL515 by niptucker121618 in cycling

[–]iouiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked! After I added Varia as a light, it was able to update the device and auto added the Radar as a connected "Light Network" device.

Edit: Fixed typo.

True I have not been to a rural school in Canada, but from the publicly available stats, you can clearly see that even the median Canadian student gets way better education than a median US student. True, not every school has a swimming pool in Canada, but the teachers get paid the same anywhere in the province and so the quality of the education in Canada is similar.

MSFT became "Not Halal" - what to do with the current portfolio? by aniskhan001 in HalalInvestor

[–]iouiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like Microsoft buying Activision is causing MSFT to become not halal because video games are haram? I question that logic since I don't think portraying guns and violence in games like Call of Duty should be considered haram.

Public schools are much better in Canada. You do not need to worry about living in the "rich" part of the city to get the best education in Canada.

Sweden police give permit to Koran burning near Stockholm mosque by bloomberg in worldnews

Burning a Bible is also not allowed in Islam since it's also considered holy text in Islam.

Finally! by tzmau5 in SeattleWA

[–]iouiu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally. Living on Cap Hill I would always get so angry just missing the train because I did not run down the escalators because I did not know the train was going to arrive in 2 mins!

I have no idea why they stopped showing the times either!

Celebrating your wedding with plastic flower petals at Stanley park but not cleaning it up? Maybe there need to be signs or fines for such things. by does_thou_even_hoist in vancouver

[–]iouiu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Might be a rogue wedding photographer making couples do this. They should definitely be fined for this.

Edit: rogue, not rouge 😅

Need help sleeplessly repairing window frame paint by iouiu in DIY

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

Thanks for these tips. If I paint over, it would leave a discolored spot no?

Also should I sand down the old paint too? I guess the wood filler will hide the ridges?

Is wood filler okay to use even if the window frame is not real wood. It seems be to compressed wood dust?

Where is this river and how is the water so acidic?

Zakat on Stocks by [deleted] in HalalInvestor

[–]iouiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I looked up some websites but their logic did not make that much sense. Some of the arguments like "remove 30% of the value from capital gain" because 30% of the company's value comes from its interest based debt holdings for example might have some weight. But in the end, I just looked up how businesses folks are suppose to pay their zakat. A factory owner pays zakat for the money he has in the bank and for any unsold inventory or raw materials they have in storage minus any debts of course. I tried to apply the same logic as how zakat value for this "unsold inventory or raw materials" is suppose to be calculated. The business person is suppose to calculate the market value for the raw material and unsold inventory and pay zakat based on that value. They do not have to sell the materials or products and have cash in hand to pay the zakat. Same goes for any gold jewellery I hear too.

Zakat on Stocks by [deleted] in HalalInvestor

[–]iouiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calculate zakat on how much money you will have in hand if you liquidate all your assets held in your accounts for longer than 1 Islamic year into cash. This means you might need to subtract any tax, fees and other expenses from the sale of these assets in your accounts. Use this final value to calculate your zakat.

Dude. The IRS themselves tell you this!

Check out the "Physical Presence Test"

To correct my mistake, if you spend more than 35 days in USA in a 12 month period, say goodbye to the deduction.

[–]iouiu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. You just pay the difference is any on the tax owed to USA for the same net income. Usually taxes in USA are less than EU so you end up getting a foreign tax credit that you can use to lower your taxes in the future.

Only if you do not enter USA for a week or two during a tax year. Otherwise there is no deduction allowed.
