Do yourself a favour and drive down for 100% in 2024. Toronto will get like 99.5% but that's NOTHING like the mind-blowing experience 100% is. Do it.

You want Torontians to drive down to Buffalo? Seems a bit mean.

 

[Red_Man]

I love Apple Music on my iPhone / iPad

iTunes on a PC is an abomination

It's all about Bandcamp you sick fucks

Niagara will do

Yo that eclipse was pretty overrated in Vancouver. Looks like a crescent moon or some shit and it was still so bright.

The effect on the sunlight was mildly cool tho, it was like wearing a pair of really weak sunglasses.

I like Bandcamp. Lots of solid chiptune and epic orchestral music on there, which are my jam at this stage of my life.

8.5h later, we're 1/3 of the way between Albany OR and Vancouver BC. I wish I was joking.

We're just before Olympia.

Wasn't this forecasted? I know several people down in Oregon and the soonest any of them are returning is tomorrow night for that reason exactly.

Sounds like LA, are you sure you aren't in LA?

Yes. We all have work, could only get one day off. Yes it sucks. There were accidents too, apparently.

We're currently weighing a hotel room around Seattle and then getting up early to drive home instead of driving late into the night.

156 miles in 10h, fuck me sideways

Was there for work on Thursday. Drove from LAX to downtown. Google Maps told us to go through residential areas. Instead of highways. Fucking brilliant city design, Los Angeles!

Godspeed friend

I think it was well worth it to see the real thing tho.

For the sake of the city I hope their public transport is absolutely state of the art for the Olympics.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I was in LA last year and they were building another subway line from the airport which will presumably go downtown, so that's an improvement.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Google Maps seems to be giving weirder directions lately. Like going through residential neighborhoods like the above example.

 

[Smiley90]

I MADE IT.

10H for the first 155miles

Then 4h for the remaining 235.

Worth. Sight of a lifetime.

I honestly don't spend too much time in LA but still I can confirm to you that this is definitely not happening

Would be nice if nyc would build more subway lines.

 

[Montresor]

Smiley, you've inspired me to make sure I make the trip down to the USA in 2024. I think the only thing that would stop me from going down there is if I had a child that was between newborn and 12 months old. Should be easy enough to plan ahead.

Next total solar eclipse will be April 8th, 2024 and visible in the a diagonal path from Maine to Texas apparently. Lot of different choices.

Nice! I was lucky enough to have a total eclipse pass overhead when I was little, it was pretty incredible but I was a bit too young (like 7 or 8?) to really appreciate it. I mainly remember how strict the teachers were and the constant warnings and lectures in school in the weeks leading up to it. And some of our teachers back then were still grey nuns so "strict" was their default setting.

It won't need to be, the city will be empty. This happened during the last Olympics; it was glorious because all roads were wide open. Also, every time they schedule a "Carmageddon" freeway closure, everyone leaves town on vacation or just stays home, so its easy as hell to get anywhere.

This also happened in London during the Olympics, the city was empty. Amazing.

Luckily a painting was made to commemorate this moment in young calder's life. He's pictured at the very front on the steps.

I think I remember it too. No one was allowed to go home for lunch. The windows were all covered. And the entire school watched a movie in gym. I'm pretty sure it was The Muppet Movie. There may have been a projector involved.

Not very many men can pull off a black skullcap and ankle length black robes. But our boy Schuey sure did. 👍

But still the THOT in the middle won't so much as look at him. Even with the hamster ball thing he's rocking. A sad sight.

Taking i-5 was a mistake. Totally worth though, shit was awesome and intense.

It won't be nearly enough, I bet. LAX is a complete mess.

They can't even maintain their existing ones

 

[RC]

Kinda wish that I actually drove to Oregon to fully experience the eclipse.

Rather than being in our office parking lot and viewing it through a piece of cardboard.

 

[Line_HTX]

Just a little too high on that shot.

:lol

 

[Marvie_3]

Oh I know. I just want new lines so I dont have to take the existing ones.

 

[Smiley90]

In retrospect, yeah. Should've booked a hotel earlier to be in Salem and not Albany too to avoid some of the traffic. Or take Tuesday off!

But either way, I still just have the image in my head today. And probably will for a long time. Just amazing

Well, I think I just scored an SNES classic from BB.

So its like 6 weeks from opening night and Habs still don't have a centre. Creeper, Red, you guys still feeling confident in Bergevin?

 

[Pikma]

I got an extra pre order for a SNES Classic on Amazon, if anyone here is interested and if they don't cancel the order I'm willing to give it to you, $200

Spoiler

jk, no extra cost

Sadly it's US only though

Listening to some hockey pods and the THN guys are making me puke with some of their predictions. Oilers and Leafs in conference finals? Oilers make the Cup finals? Come the fuck on.

Sorry Calamari but Marvie took it from you, he sent me a PM as soon as I hit post

It's all Marvie's fault
