Samyy thinks he's hard.
Sriracha is hot enough, but still be able to taste the flavour of whatever you're eating.
Hot sauce is pointless if you can't taste anything because your mouth is on fire.
Preach!

No way. I'm certain you've had it and just not realized it.
I think what people like is that there is a little bit of sweetness in the sauce.
I personally like using sambal oelek and the chili garlic sauce more:
They are both made by the same company as sriracha.

I like both of these (or variations of them) but I don't use a ton of it. Just enough for a bit of a kick.
Bring your own sriracha?
Also I tried it once when some restaurant replaced their Buffalo sauce with it and I hated it.
I thought you of all people would have gotten it.
I know you meant soju but the thread went sriracha crazy.
Sriracha works well with Pho though. It's pretty versatile all around, but obviously doesn't have that strong flavour that Buffalo sauce has. That being said, I don't really like Buffalo flavour that much.
Maybe I should go and buy myself a bottle of soju right now...

It's a shame we didn't have any makgoli at the last meet up
Went to Stockyards on the weekend once for brunch and spent an hour waiting in line. Never again. Now I go during the weekdays for lunch since they made the smart decision to offer the chicken and waffles until 3pm.

Man fuck the snow. It's April. April showers. Goddamn it!
In that case you should check out KW Vintage Games. The guy running it doesn't have a clue what he's doing but it you want it, you can probably pay too much for it there.
Yup, I'm 100% sure! I'm a VERY picky eater and eat food that I know I will like.

I actually have a bottle of sriracha sauce in my kitchen right now and I'm debating if I should try it or not haha. Not really a fan of anything spicy.
If you never eat spicy food then you'd want to go easy, but if you want to just taste the hot sauce there's no better way than to just put a dab on your finger and give it a lick.
On another note, I found this at Lucky Moose:
Gonna give it a try. I may never need to line up again.
EDIT: They are different. This one is more like sponge cake and is sweeter. I still don't think Uncle Tetsu's worth the wait though...
I started to go to work this morning then turned around. It took me 10 minutes on the 401 when I got on at Kennedy until I decided to go home and I exited at the 404. 10 minutes to go 4.5 km. There was no way I was going all the way to Brampton. The roads aren't even that bad but I'm guessing those who had snow tires already took them off.
I planned to get my snow tires off this weekend but changed my mind at the last minute.
old game market went bonkers a while ago. As someone mostly interested in Genesis collecting I don't have it that bad, since the games aren't as popular and most people kept the cases. But RIP anyone who wants anything Nintendo related.
So far every dedicated game store that stocked older stuff has just disappointed me. I've had SOME luck haggling in flea markets but a lot of them just look up ebay prices and put nonsensical price stickers on shit. I saw a beat up steel battallion box a while ago, guy wanted 900 for it...

My manager called me at 8am this morning to let me know that I'm pretty much running the show for the opening shift at the restaurant this morning after she got hit by another vehicle that slid into the oncoming lane and wrecked her car.
A&C has always been pricey, but I don't think their prices went up anymore when the market went insane. So actually now, they're right about market value. You're also paying for the convenience of buying stuff in person, rather than importing. Their new location is really nice though and $20 for the graphic t-shirts is actually not a terrible value. Although I'll still wait for the Yetee sales.
Yeah, you guys make good points. Maybe if NX drops BC on GCN games we might see a drop. I grabbed SM Strikers used and that alone was 60. It's a really nice location and I trust the staff there more than any random EB Games location. The rent on Spadina must not be cheap though.

lmao.
Always wanted to try Stockyards but it's so out of the way for me. Maybe I'll go this weekend.

Prepare for limited seating and line ups. From what ice read, people usually get take out and eat it outside nearby.
Speaking of people seeing you around, I also thought I saw you at the Shoppers near me. It wasn't you though all you Asians look the same anyways.
Yep, you can make an order for pickup and there's a Starbucks with seating nearby too.
Wychwood Gardens is a nice place to eat as well.

I should really buy a condo with a direct connection into the subway
Kuro Madoushi
Unconfirmed Member
Why? You'd miss out on that walk in the cold to the subway....!
Just be careful if they advertise a direct connection, I don't know which condo it was, but the builders advertised it and it never happened when they built it.
That's a line forming around the block.
I think the worst was the Shops at Aura story that popped up early this year, where all those underground businesses saw next to no foot traffic because the promised connection to the PATH wouldn't appear for like, a decade.

I'm not even sure it'll happen in a decade at the rate they're going. Place is a bloody graveyard and I'm not sure what those tenants were thinking anyways. Atrium has almost no foot traffic and it's directly connected to Eaton Centre, why would anyone bother walking all the way up there anyways?
Oh wow, I didn't even know there was anything else at Aura. I have only been to the Marshall's there. I've been inside Atrium as well, but only to check out Muji. Other than that, the place looked really dead.

Imagine going to work in the middle of winter wearing just regular dress shoes and no winter coat. That's my dream.
Put dainite soles on your dress shoes, buy techwear clothes, turn that dream into reality.

I haven't been there yet, but I think it just downtown hype from the Ryerson students. I could be totally wrong though.
Unfortunately, the food court looks sketchy as fuck as well with the empty retail spots there.
Oh yeah, going there to eat would just be awkward and depressing.
I get enough of that eating at ${your_favorite_restaurant}.

Does anyone here know if there's a place to play Poker (legitimately or even semi-legitimately) like a bar or a pub, on weekly basis?
It doesn't have to be straight up gambling , and nothing too expensive for (buy in).

Well, you could bring your laptop to a bar and play online.
Otherwise, do the CNE dates work with when you want to play?

Oooo I remember reading about this. They used Toronto and Quebec city as inspirations for the city in that movie. I think they even dropped by the Best Buy at Dundas Square on the release day for I think Black & White 2 or X & Y
welp. Just got laid off, 2 weeks before it would've been a year so they only have to give me 1 week notice apparently.
Came out of nowhere, boss is completely stunned and has no idea what the hell they are thinking. I already do 10+ hours of overtime a week and I'm swamped. 100% not a performance thing and I'm guaranteed EI, it's nice that everyone is stepping forward to offer themselves as references but it's still fucked up.
guess it's just more justification for how I live - I treat every day at work as it's my last and take every hour of overtime I can stand. I've never been fired in my life, never quit voluntarily, and yet I can't seem to keep anything more than a year.
On the bright side I highly doubt I'll be unable to find something in the IT field in brampton before my money runs out...I'll be in the positive even on EI and I have savings. Just spent a ton of money on moving out, new mattress, new clothes though.
Also does anyone have any experience getting ROEs out of uncooperative employers? These guys aren't the problem - it's my previous job. Guy still owes me a LOT of money and that's almost a year of full-time that he never submitted my ROE for.
