"The video doesn't exist."
"Hey guys, the video is at these specific addresses."
This feels just like the story about Ford getting drunk at a Leafs game:
He says the video doesn't exist but sooner or later the truth will come out.
"But it's not crack! I mean, ok, it's crack, but I'm not perfect!"
My room is right over the garage so the shingles there just absorb heat and radiate into my room, which makes my room slighty (much) hotter than the rest of the house. I swear my PC parts are idling at 50C right now.
The lawnmower also broke down on me barely 10% into the lawn. And I live at the end of a street leading into a cul-de-sac, so our lawn is super big and I let the grass grow longer than it should have between cuts. Fuck today (even if it is my dad's birthday)

I know that feel. I just came back inside after mowing the lawn. I tried to mow the lawn a couple of weeks ago, but I ran out of gas, and I didn't have any more.
The grass grew a bit too long and jammed my mower midway through, so I had to drag my mower to the garage to empty it out, then go back to the back yard to finish mowing. I ran over something and it chucked a piece of grass near my eye, and then jammed when I ran over loose rock. I got sprayed with dirt. Since it rained yesterday, the end of my back yard is fucking muddy.
My next door neighbour and I share the same small bit of lawn between houses, and he doesn't mow it. So I mowed half of it. He's new, so I'd like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and say he just doesn't know, but I'd assume the previous owners (really cool people) would've told him.
5 staffers in the last week, but nothings going on. business as usual at city hall.

I've got my AC on full blast and it's pretty nice inside, my neighbours haven't mowed their lawn do neither will I! Summer haters stay in your cage.
I think it's 7. And yeah I think his guilt is confirmed at this point. Just need that video to come out and tie up loose ends.

If it's a really small strip and not "my half and your half of a super big patch of grass but there isn't a conclusive line" (it's still pretty obvious) then just go and cut the whole thing I'd say if you catch him with a mowed lawn but he missed that strip then just kindly remind him. I assume you're supposed to cut it regardless, at least the front facing part you can see. Anything past a fence is fair game.I know that feel. I just came back inside after mowing the lawn.

I'm kinda pissed because this means we have to buy a new mower and all that wasted effort for really nothing.
Oh I know. I'm just being a dick about it.

Watched the live video feed; the reporters/photogs/camera guys all seem to be taking the Mayor's insults in stride; overheard coming from a press corps voice after Ford walked off: a cheery "thanks, maggots!"
I think the richest part of that press conference was Doug's assertion that the premier should "get her house in order" before commenting on Toronto's issues.
Leaving aside the gender-based criticism I could make of that statement: Wynne just worked with another party to pass a budget, even in the face of the (temporarily tempered) onslaught of attacks for the Liberals' handling (or bungling, depending on your angle) of various files (energy, health, etc).
I wonder: When was the last time Rob actually negotiated anything? You know, instead of picking fights with people who buy ink by the barrel.

I didn't think it would last, to be honest, but I didn't think it would be done in 2 years. CP24 pretty much dominates news channels in Toronto.
And CP24 is in HD. 1566 on Bell.

What about OTA broadcasts? I read recently that Canada doesnt have anything like the Cable Card program. Is there anyway to cut the cord?
As someone who works construction I see a whole lot of whiners in this thread.

I hope you drown out there
Only thing that really sucks is that I'm currently working at the new facility at the Disco Road transfer station (yeah, where they're looking for more body parts) and the yard waste close by makes it even more humid.

It's that point when a girl tells you she is really is a lesbian and can't go out with you. Then you see her making out with another man.

Not so sure about that. From that story it seems like Nash's ex is trying to move to California to take advantage of more ex wife friendly laws in California.
It's funny that Nash went to LA to chase a ring, Derek Fisher style and basically became a worse version of Fisher; A guy who stands in the corner and shoots threes. What a terrible fit, making him play without the ball. Not having Phoenix's medical staff hurts too.
And yeah, it would have made zero sense for him, or the Raptors.

Hard to tell how much is bullshit, since he did use the kids excuse to go to LA in the first place, but
Yep, was never gonna work with Kobe dominating the ball. Hell, thinking on it, he managed to make Dwight/Pau/Nash look/play worse to accommodate his game, what a leader.
I have no idea why City ever gave up CP24 to begin with. I used to watch BT on there all the time then one day a few years ago it suddenly switched to CTV's control. Nobody ever watched City News channel (yourself as the exception)
Same here. BT on CP24 was a staple of my mornings (well, for about 30 minutes anyway
) for a while. The transition to "CP24 Breakfast" was... awkward. That's honestly one of the reasons I kinda moved away from CP24 (though the HD thing was the primary reason); I was just like "who are these people?".City didn't give up CP24, Bell bought CHUM (which owned CityTV, CP24, MUCH, etc) and part of the approval from the CRTC was that Bell had to sell the CityTV channels. Bell chose to keep CP24.

Of course. It's all ATSC over the air, you just need one of those tuners. All channels are digital now. Depending on how far north/how far up you are, sometimes you can get great reception, at least in Toronto. I get at least a half dozen decent quality channels OTA just in an upstairs bedroom with some rabbit ears.
Ah, my bad. Everyone was so used to the CP24 layout that they just kept watching it even though it wasn't controlled by City anymore.
Same here, I get 12-13 channels (quite a few in HD) with an antenna up here in Richmond Hill

Damn humid weather, I wish I had the fan on.
Now I'm waking up late scheduling calls with recruiters that I don't feel like talking to. Ugh.

Looks like we could have Ford's new slogan for his bid to be re-elected "I saved this city $1 billion dollars"

Anybody here try out The Transit App yet? Doesn't cover all of the GTA transit services, but it covers a lot/most.
I'll check it out.
I currently use Rocketman, but I'm willing to switch if it's a better app.
