82 points does not equal 500
Sure it does with the points system. 82 points in 82 games is .500. I realize there are loser points, but in the old days those would have been ties instead of OT losses/SO losses.

I use the time before the movie starts to suck face with my girl. Not read fucking books. Come on soultron step yo game up.
I don't even know what books you are speaking of. Those free tribute magazines?
Edit: Oh you mean the Chapters closing. Yeah I don't go to Scotiabank theatre almost never.

I think the only thing I liked about the Chapters by the Scotiabank was that they had the giant shelves that had those ladders. But expensive downtown real estate and book store doesn't really mix.
(I also learned that Book City is closing up its Annex store too. Yikes.)

Coffee shops everywhere! Make it a gigantic Starbucks to cater to the movie crowd? Keep some books there for people too?
Nothing else seems to thrive in this damn city.

What do you mean Real Sports will only let you stay until 5?
Seems like a bad idea for Real Sports Bar to kick people out after 5 if they're there to watch the game.

Do they have a private event after? Or are they limiting reservations to 2 hours because it's going to be busy with the Jays opener + Raptors/Pacers game?
Most likely this.

Chain bookstores are pointless though, especially when Chapters itself sells books for a massive discount on their own website but insist on charging retail in their stories.
They only work if they have small, specific followings. This is why BakkaPheonix, Glad Day, Women's Bookstore, and so on, are still able to be in business even after the chains rolled in and tried to replicate the now dying American retail model.
If you don't have an actual reason to support a bookstore, there's no reason why you wouldn't either buy the buy on Amazon/Chapters.ca for 40% off, or even better, buy the much cheaper ebook version from your ebook device directly.
yep 2 hrs max need to find somewhere that will let us hang around til at least 6, getting there around 3.
Man I was dreaming about this city with both Raps and Leafs in the playoffs, how quickly dreams are crushed and shattered.

Anyone know if you can go into the negative balance on a presto card more than once? I went negative about a year ago and I just realized I forgot to top up and am 5 damn cents short on my balance for getting home. Should it let me on without issue and I'd just pay the difference of this fare plus the 25 cent negative balance fee when I reload next?

We better hurry. He mentioned something about leaving the country for 6 months soon in the Gaming deals thread.

Well this is totally not creepy.
Food trucks have considerably less maintenance costs, don't have to pay property tax or rent, and they can just park themselves in front of your restaurant and steal your business.
Not that I'm against food trucks or anything, I quite enjoy them, but there are issues.
I don't accept any of those to be issues tbh, part of business in the first place entails trying to get consumers; whether it entails drawing them away from the competition or otherwise is irrelevant.
edit- Restaurants and food trucks incidentally serve different markets.

Gonna chastise you about your health, aw yeah.
Man I was dreaming about this city with both Raps and Leafs in the playoffs, how quickly dreams are crushed and shattered.
I dream of a day when both Raps and Leafs are making deep runs in the playoffs while the Jays have started off strong.
And I guess TFC can also be doing well...

I don't know why everyone got so excited after this win. People are delusional. The situation is actually WORSE after this game since Colombus won as well and it is status quo but with one less game.
I can understand some councilors having reservations but they already make it so those trucks (and each employee) have to have a city license to run/work in a food truck. The only thing I think they should restrict is where they can legally park while selling the food. Sidewalks become impassable with some of these trucks selling food. There should be food truck zones where they're allowed to set up and if they set up outside those zones then they get fines/suspension of their license.

Lol same, ohwell, not really bandwagoning if you live in the city and don't actively cheer for other teams
Just stay with the team and learn shit as you slowly build your love.
God knows we need more Raptors fans in the city so welcome.
I'm a reserved fan. I keep it real.

I do too but we need some rain to clean the streets though. They're dirty and sandy from the winter. Not to mention melt up the last bits of ugly snow on peoples lawns.
