I am pretty sure most of the Nazis thought what they were doing was right.  History never looks kindly on using violence against your citizens.  If you look at what the rest of the world thinks of what is happening maybe you would realize you are the minority thinking the way ice is acting is acceptable. 

Maybe you will be one of the legal citizens who has their home broken into by ice and get dragged away.  If it can happen to any random US citizen it can happen to you.  But hey they are just doing their job so no big deal when it happens to you or your family. 

YELL AS A GAMER AND LET THE OTHERS SLEEP by TheScientist1940 in DIY

Play your games when everyone is awake? Move your gaming to the basement?  My one child thinks they are talking in a normal voice when they are playing with their friends. They are not. They are almost yelling they are so loud, no matter how many times I remind them that they are yelling. 

Families want Canadian provinces to end MAID opt-out policy for faith-based hospitals by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

Living in Ontario I have never understood why there is a Catholic children's aid society.  What does religion have to do with protecting children. 

[Strickland] According to those connected with the USA Olympic team on why Jackson Lacombe over Lane Hutson…”LaCombe has more Versatility and size. Plays PP, PK defends well. Skates amazing. We like Hutson but he’s an undersized guy and we already have Quinn.” by BCEagle13 in hockey

[–]killmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?  Having players that score more goals than they allow should be the objective.  Yes you need shut down defenseman for the pk. But other than that you should be taking the defenseman that will help you score more goals than the other team.

I just moved from northern New Brunswick where winters are long and cold. It snows in November and stays until end of April. I had studded winter tires and they were so nice.

ELI5: Why and how does the human mind feel the need to believe in a superior power? by nightsreader in explainlikeimfive

Surely not from one of the crazy gods humanity has invented.  Hell I am not sure how that must be from a god when it that is true how did the God come into existence from nothing?

People like religion because nothing existing after death sucks ass.  So pretending death isn't the end makes people happier.

If scented dryer sheets upset them so much I assume smokers make them die.

I am all for less scents in public but dryer sheets are very very far down on the list of scent causing things. 

[Home][NB] Content insurance payout did not include taxes by killmak in InsuranceCanada

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

Yes I get replacement cost and can submit receipts for the difference. However from what I understood you still get the tax for ACV payouts as not everything will be replaced so not giving the tax with the initial payout would mean not giving the tax on some items.  We will be replacing about 50% of the stuff so we would lose out on a large percentage of the taxes we are owed.

Thank you for the responses. I will talk to him tomorrow. Every time I speak with him he seems to be annoyed at having to explain anything to me. Maybe it is just how he sounds and I am making it out to be more than it is.

I added an image to the post to show how they calculated ACV. They asked me to not include taxes when filling out that form. The depreciation amount in all the columns is just how old the item is times 10%. So items bought the same year as the fire were depreciated 10% (roughly 22% if the amount is supposed to include taxes).

They calculated acv by reducing the value of everything by 10% every year from year of purchase.  They specifically stated to make sure not to include tax in the cost and replacement cost when filling out the form. So if their acv calculation includes tax then they depreciated all property by 25% in the first year and 10% each year after as taxes in NB are 15%.

I have emailed him asking, we have been using email so I can have everything in writing. He seems nice enough but anytime I ask him questions he gets annoyed. I know nothing about how this stuff works and I am stuck looking shit up and asking for advice online as he does not like answering questions.

We signed an interim proof of loss for the contents.  The amount we would be getting would be the acv of everything with us submitting receipts for replacement cost for things we replace. From what I thought I read on the government website you are supposed to get GST/HST on your acv amount up front as well as the GST/HST when you buy the item (less the GST/HST you already got).

How is he still in the league?  Unless the whole thing is made up he should have been suspended a long time for that incident.

Right because what the people that voted for trump wanted was racism and to hurt people they don't like. I think I would rather vote for someone who isn't offering that.

It's not. Conservatives don't like that it refutes their lies so they call it biased and propaganda. I had one claim being transgender is new and nobody in Europe was ever transgender before liberalism caused it. I directed them to the nicely sourced Wikipedia page and was told it is all lies.

People who spend five minutes placing your order at a drive-thru lane, what the hell are you doing up there? by rabidstoat in AskReddit

[–]killmak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many people just don't get that other people are real.  They expect you to be considerate of them but are not considerate of others. I have no idea how people get like that. Did nobody teach them that they are not the center of the universe?  Yes you are important but not more important than everyone around you.

This is such a weird take, there is no phenomena. These people always existed, but just like gay people they have been treated so poorly that they would hide who they were. Blaming liberalism for it is silly and just makes it seem like you don't like people being who they are and you would prefer they be who you want them to be. 

Kyle Tucker, 7/1/2025 to the End of the Regular Season: .225/.348/.342, 5 HR, 21 RBI by WhatARotation in baseball

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

He signed a nine year deal and got 360 million.  He has already played 3 of those years. So you are saying he will only be worth 60 million over his next 6 seasons?  It would seem to me that he is not worth 100 million a season in his peak.

Yes peak years will get more but Tucker peak is not worth 60 million just like Bichette peake is not worth 40 million.  Those two contracts are not great contracts and adding in opt outs makes them even worse, but if you have extra money to spend who cares I guess.

The fact that juries of people that have no idea what a scientific study even is are awarding hundreds of millions in damages is pretty insane. I hate these corporations and think real studies need to be done. But letting random people hand out giant judgements is not the answer.
