Nope.

Plus if its been years, the coins may no longer be valid, even in the countries they came from.

(e.g. I went to the UK in 2022, and I had 1 pound coins from my prior 2016 UK trip, that it turned out was no longer accepted because they had done a wholesale update of their coins for anti-counterfeiting purposes (I was able to get them replaced at a bank branch though).

The past hour has been Pure.....

Much of their contracts are deferred. When adjusted to net present value (NPV), it isn't worth much more, as per the Shi Davidi's tweet. It's actually worth more than Ohtani once adjusted to NPV (although Ohtani has a higher AAV (average annual value) as its 10 years, versus this being 14 years for Vladdy).

"Global popularity" - its only in this definition if it is popular in Europe according to this person.

Also ignores all of Latin America, where baseball is the national sport in many of its countries.

Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan also have far more people and larger economies, and are way more relevant & important on a global scale in both economics & culture, than those few small northern European countries that play hockey.

And there is now a serious effort to develop baseball as a competitive national sport in Czechia, South Africa, Nigeria, and Uganda (among other African countries) with a lot of money pouring in to develop players at the youth level, that will pay off in the next decade with competitive teams and MLB-level players.

I have never tipped a housekeeper. Get real. They aren't my problem.

Most hotels have now reduced housekeeping, so they only do a room every 3 days during a stay (and in between guests). So if a short business trip, chances are they won't even do a refresh during your stay.

This is incredibly stupid.

This sell-off will end as sellers run out. When it starts going up again, precious metals' value don't grow anywhere near as much as stocks do.

What were the dates when this occurred?

Did you not notice that your credit card was never charged on the expected date?

When you pay it back this year, you will get another slip that will allow you to deduct this amount from your taxable income. So that will reduce your taxes this year, so (assuming your total income is the same as the year you had received it) should be a wash.

Vladdy is no Juan Soto or Ohtani.

Even by MLB standards, he's not worth this much compared to either of them, who are both generational talents. Vladdy isn't a generational talent.

Taiwan just announced they will give into US demands, and lower their own tariffs on US imports to zero, joining Vietnam.

Countries have started to bend the knee, as Trump wanted. Asian markets & US index futures are now recovering on this news.

Bill Ackman, the famous billionaire hedge fund manager for Pershing Capital just made a public statement, demanding that Trump fire Peter Navarro and every other advisor pushing the tariffs.

No, it won't help you avoid it. Most people show up dressed completely casually.

And if the message on the shirt is offensive, you could be found in Contempt of Court if the judge is in a bad mood.

CNBC reporting two lawsuits have been filed by US importers stating the blanket tariffs announced last Wednesday are unconstitutional (only Congress has the power to impose tariffs, and Trump's justification to override this authority isn't really an emergency), and asking the courts to immediately put in an injunction to block them. More lawsuits are likely to come.

It's a longshot, but another channel on how this might end.

I saw at least 2 more Republican US Senators turn on Friday, including Ted Cruz, who said these blanket tariffs are non-sensical.

You enter the rent into the appropriate line on the form. It estimates an amount based on a fixed percentage (I think 20%). There's nothing that you need to calculate.

It literally states this on the form.

Cash Cab was a Toronto classic. But what we really need is a Toronto version of Bang Bus :-)

Also, again please explain it to me like I’m 5, is there not a way to boost back our dollar if basically everyone were to invest in it?

Currency value is primarily driven by interest rates. So Bank of Canada has to reverse their rate cut mindset, and look to increasing rates again vis-a-vis other countries, if you want to see the CAD going back up again.

Not just the cost of aluminum cans will increase. Hops also. Much of it is sourced from US hop growers, and there isn't sufficient Canadian growing supply to replace it all (or certain hop varietals are simply not grown here at all, and unavailable - much of which are essential for IPAs).

Are you intentionally being obtuse?

The CAT ruling is the only justification required for the eviction to be executed. The landlord doesn't even have to write any other reasons on the LTB form. The LTB cannot rule against or override the CAT ruling. CAT rulings being legally enforceable is written into provincial law. 

CAT rulings have the force of law. End of story. 

Condo Authority Tribunal rulings are legally binding. They can order the landlord to evict the tenant. 

The landlord would use the LTB forms, and if the tenant contests, the landlord would immediately show the LTB the CAT's order, which the LTB would accept and order the tenant to leave. 

If the tenant still doesn't move out, or the landlord doesn't follow the order to evict the tenant, the condo corporation with the CAT's ruling, can then go to the Superior Court of Ontario, who would issue a court order for the tenant to move out immediately, or they would be in contempt of court and be arrested for refusing to comply. (And if it was the landlord not executing the CAT's order to evict, they would also be found in contempt of court). 

It's because the LTB only deals with the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.

The Condo Corporation, and the tenant's neighbours aren't a party to that relationship. so the LTB and RTA are irrelevant to them. The tenant's bad actions are impacting their ability to enjoy their residence & to manage the overall condo. And the governing legislation for what happens inside a condo is the Condominium Act, not the Residential Tenancies Act.

Legal fees from warning letters are definitely reimbursable. It is usually the hammer that makes the landlord take action, because now the cost is coming directly at their expense.

Then contact the Property Management / Board, and have them issue a legal warning letter to their landlord (which they would back-charge that owner for its cost).

Because you are an owner, they will take your complaint more seriously than if you were a tenant. Also, ask your other neighbours that can hear the noise to make complaints as well.

LOL at this BS - you posted a similar story about also nearly being robbed by security at SFO airport, in a San Francisco sub. Two incidents in one trip? Sounds like PEBCAC.

There is also nowhere in the world with more security cameras, and with eyes constantly monitoring & recording everything, than at an airport. The odds of an airport security officer trying anything, knowing how many cameras are on them, is near zero.

There is also no "TSA recheck" in Canada - this isn't the US, and Canadian airports have different programs for accelerated security screening (although with some cross-recognition). They would have no idea what the F you are referring to.

Escalate to property management and the Board. By this point, security would have logged enough incident reports, that its now a known issue.

Are they a tenant or owner (and are you a tenant or owner)?

If they are an owner, the Board can send them a formal legal warning, and back-charge them for the cost of the legal letter from their lawyer. If they are a tenant, they can send a warning to their landlord (who will then deal with, and warn, the tenant - because they would be charged the cost of the legal letter).

If they are a tenant, the Board can go to the Condominium Tribunal, who has the power to terminate their lease, and order them to move out for violating Condo By-Laws (the Condo Tribunal supersedes the LTB, and any renter rights they have). If they are an owner, the Tribunal also has the power to order them to cease and desist the excessive noise, and also force a sale in extreme circumstances.

(you could also try calling the Police non-emergency line, as they are violating city by-laws by playing music that late, but this would largely be pointless, because similar to the timing issue with security, by the time they arrived, the music might already be turned off).
