Comment Re:But it's in CANADA (Score 1) 383

Yeah, it's a real bummer. I was quite surprised myself. Not to add to your brother's potential woes, but make sure he's explored the income tax rates for Canada. I'm not sure of the specifics, and how it breaks down per province, but from what I'm told, in B.C., it's almost 50%. Yikes to say the least.

Being that the top marginal tax rate here in Australia is 48.5% (last I checked), I'm not sure that will bother him.

Amazing that there are places you could just look up and see that. I've never seen the night sky as anything but pitch black with a few dull white dots, and maybe the moon.

Hate to tell you this, but if you think your version of the night sky is pitch black, you're going to be stunned at what a real view will do. Other posters referring to vertigo have it absolutely right - it's SO black, it's very difficult to comprehend, and the best way to look at it is to lie down, otherwise you'll fall down.

Get out of town - way out of town - more often, you won't regret it.

This only works so long as neither you nor the person you are 'communicating' with have any actual familiarity with the work flow in a real kitchen. Your 'analogy' would be confusing as hell to anyone who does.

Right - and how is this different to their efforts at communicating with the IT geek? "My hard-drive's broken" would be as useful in this situation as a chef discovering the pressure regulator on a burner is broken, after being told that the dishwasher isn't working. At least this way the analogy is good, and if you're talking in simplified terms both parties can relate to, useful communication can happen because the limitations of language are apparent.
