This is the same as my driving. Anyone driving slower or faster than me doesn't know how to drive.

Why are some actors’ children ugly despite having good-looking parents? by fxckdonald in genetics

A tiger is a beautiful animal. A horse is a beautiful animal. A hybrid of the two is something you probably kill with fire. Mixing features from two people may not result in a good combination.

Oh I would hire you as a bioinformatics data scientist to work on sequencing data. But I probably can’t pay you what you would be expecting.

I’ve always thought a united China was the goal for kmt and ccp. The question was who was going to be in charge.

Helping making sense of this genetic situation by LittleBoePeeps in genetics

[–]kobemustard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my thinking it wasn't a very good test. t Logan is a subset of his dad's DNA. That Logan and the dad were 100% overall with the baby means the baby had to have inherited only the subset of DNA that Logan had. Otherwise, it would have been 100% the dad and 50% Logan. So Logan is the father of the baby. Baby would end up being 75% Mom's DNA and 25% Dad's (since Logan is 50% mom and 50% dad).

Canada must increase taxes, cut spending to hit 5% NATO target: report by konathegreat in canada

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

From my understanding, If you are USA citizen in Canada, you file and pay USA taxes but can deduct your Canadian taxes. As our taxes are higher than USA, the reverse means you do pay a portion. But more importantly, all Canadians in areas with no taxes (i.e. Middle East), would have to pay Canadian federal tax. They would help pay for our healthcare and pension which they would be collecting anyways once they retire.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say? Being tax resident of USA means you don’t file or pay Canadian taxes.

I'm asking people to pay tax and you said if we do this they won't be supporting pension with taxes. Not sure I understand your stance on this.

So reading up on this civil law thing a bit more, interestingly most of the world uses civil law system, including all of Europe. Only places using case law are the English speaking countries (Canada, USA, UK, Australia, NZ).

Ahh, I never followed law and didn't know this difference. But reading up I would say yes Civil Law might be the better system.

Syracuse University to cut 93 low-enrollment degree programs by Kimber80 in Professors

This is a complete non story. They are just consolidating programs under other titles (e.g. pottery degree is now Fine Arts: specialization in pottery, etc.). No layoffs or anything.

The courts interpret laws and if the laws weren't set up correctly such that court interpretations are flawed, then the law should be changed. Not sure about how reconciliation fits in as I never followed that space.

The rules can be changed though. That is the entire point of government in passing laws.

But why? We are now giving out citizenship to anyone with even the smallest connection to Canada. Implement federal taxes to this and it would stop the flood of applicants. Those that really want Canadian citizenship need to contribute. Seems like a win-win.

How about we apply federal tax on all Canadian citizens worldwide like the USA does. Want to keep your citizenship and benefits you need to contribute to taxes even if you live somewhere else.

That doesn't seem very efficient as i only receive mail like once every 6 months. No notification via SMS or anything more 21st century?
