TTC Lineups are all over the place. At some stations people line up orderly while at others it's a ram fest. Go to Runnymede station and everyone is really good about he lineup.

Why is there a Pizza Pizza ad behind home plate in this world series game?
Because it's being digitally inserted. It's not actually there in the park.

Woah. Are the Cubs being digitally inserted as well?

Yes, that's why they actually won.

Makes sense. Allows localized advertising for tv watchers. They used it in the World Cup too though it was a bit more distracting.
That'll never happen. And neither one of us will be alive to gloat as to who is right.

All I want for Christmas is a mild winter.
59 years. It's possible I'll be alive though with all the drinking I do for Leafs games and the diabeetus, I doubt it.
SAMYY!! YOU WILL CARRY THE TORCH AND POUR SOME CHAMPAGNE FOR US WHEN IT HAPPENS!

Fuck it. Double post.
I got the job. Start the 29th.
No more Scarberia but downtown work. Slight pay cut. Smaller company. Beer on Fridays.
My only worry was how much of a pay cut but it's so minuscule I'm not even going to notice and they've said they'all review in 6 months and adjust.
Great way to end the week.

Next round of Victory Cider on Kuro!

Congrats.
Meghan Markle (the lead actress from Suits) literally being protected by police because she might be dating some dude who's fifth in line to the British throne.
I see they couldn't be bothered to send out a stealth car.
Daily Mail posted photos of her house too. The British press has serious mental problems. The Brexit thread has headlines where they're calling sitting judges enemies of the people and slamming a judge for being openly gay.
Prince Harry!

Always sweet to land a gig. Congrats.
Congrats man!
They've gotten a lot better at it. Most of the stuff I saw on Sportsnet last year took a split second to pop up on screen whenever the camera angle changed, but I haven't noticed it as much this year.
Nice! Congrats Kuro!
No name Kraft Dinner until your first performance review!
Hey Toronto-GAF. I'm in Toronto until the end of the month for work and I need some suggestions for things to do. I'm staying right beside the airport so there is nothing around me. I'm planning to check out a Leafs game while I'm here as well as the NXT show on the 19th. I just need some ideas for cheaper things to do on Friday nights and on the weekend. Any restaurants I have to try out? Are there any GAF meetups coming up I could attend? I'm also wondering what my best option is for public transit. Are there daily passes that can get me on the bus and subway? I ive in Ottawa and drive, so public transit is something I have almost 0 experience with.
Meetup next weekend!
You're not going to see the rematch of the worst Wrestlemania match of all time?
Locals can help you with buses.
Hi.
Yep, as you've said, the airport is sort of a no man's land. Your cheapest option (but takes an eternity) is to take the TTC, who runs most of the transit within the city. Your most convenient option that's cheaper than a cab is the UP Express. Once you're at Union, you can take the TTC around. They have daily and weekly passes, depending on how much you're traveling. You could also I guess get a PRESTO card, save a lot on the UP if you're taking it every day and use it at most TTC stations in the downtown core.
If you're interested in the usual tourist places and museums, the City Pass is an okay value.
We have the Cavalcade of Lights at the end of the month at City Hall.
If it's free stuff you want, just walking around some of the more interesting neighbours is worth your time. Kensington / Chinatown, the Annex, King West, Roncy.
I'll let people with better taste comment on the food. And yes, please come to the meetup if you're around!
Congrats dude!

Thanks!
Ok...but it's your funeral
Ok make it YOUR funeral.
Ok make it BOTH your funerals.
Thanks.
Still gotta be able to afford bad nachos, overpriced burgers, and spill worthy cider somehow.
Thanks!
It's actually near King and Spadina so sure.Sweet. Where in downtown? Come out for drinks after work
Thanks!
It is a goddamn relief I tell ya...
Thanks!
Thanks!

The OP will have fuller details but...
Areas
Kensington Market - some unique and authentic places to eat here. The BBQ place here is supposed to be good. My wife loves Eative Film Cafe - the desserts are excellent if a bit pricey. Quite a few Mexican and Portuguese places.
Distillery District - probably my favourite area. Cobblestone streets, performing arts theatre, some expensive designer stuff, some great restaurants. Be sure to pick up some Ontario Spring Water Sake, some chocolate from Soma, and get a coffee from Balzac's.
Eaton Centre / Yorkdale Mall - Both have Uniqlo and Nordstrom stores, both have decent restaurants nearby, both have theatres nearby. Eaton Centre is closer downtown and has more decent Japanese places nearby including our very own maid cafe. Yorkdale is a nicer Mall in my opinion and has Jamie Oliver's restaurant in there and it's awesome.
Yorkville - if you like to see high end brand name crap, this is the place to go. Lots of expensive restaurants here too though I can only recommend Jacques du Bistro. It's close to the Royal Ontario Museum too.
Royal Ontario Museum / Art Gallery of Ontario - I'd avoid the AGO - I've never seen anything interesting there compared to the stuff in Montreal. The ROM can be neat depending on what is showing there, but overall it's still kind of meh.
Toronto Zoo - A bit out of the way and the weather is going to get disgustingly cold soon. I think warmer weather is nicer to go since it's quite big. It's a decent visit.
Hockey Hall of Fame - I haven't been here yet for some reason, but if you're a hockey fan (or a secret Leafs fan living in Ottawa), this is a must visit.
St Lawrence Market - I say a must visit for any visitor to Toronto. Lots of places selling foodstuffs and food. Walkable from hockey hall of fame too.
Pacific Mall - kind of out of the way and it isn't as good as it used to be, but I still think it's worth a visit. Big Chinese focused Mall for goods from Asia.
For restaurants, I have more than I can list though you can get an idea if you go to YouTube, search eater, and find the dining on a dime series that just finished Toronto.
Other than that, some quintessential original "Toronto" food:
- Butter tarts -> St Lawrence Market
- Peameal bacon -> St Lawrence Market and Rashers
- Beef patties -> Subway stations
- Hot dogs -> street meat that you'll find when you wander around downtown.
- Burgers -> Burger's Priest
you know it to be true, EM!
You can get a monthly or weekly pass that you can use on every subway line, bus, and streetcar in Toronto. You pay extra if you go farther North or West. The TTC is garbage compared to Asia, but it's much better than what I saw in Ottawa
Cross-posting from the Canadian Gaming Deals thread because I'm impatient as fuck.
Weird question, but I don't know where else to ask.
I moved into my new place on 01 November. I recently got my TekSavvy modem shipped to me. I have the Mac and SSID now.
Do I really need to wait until my scheduled technician installation visit scheduled for Monday or can I call their support to have them remotely activate my service? The previous tenant had Rogers as their ISP, the coaxial cables are still here and I have one hooked into my modem right now.
Anyone have any experience with this? It'd be great to have internet this weekend! 🙂

Get an HR company to help you with it.
Don't disappoint with WD2...
Thanks!
Leafs GAF Jets Hating GAF represent!
You can ask buuuuuuut the last time this happened to me (I switched off Teksavvy and then came back) the technician didn't do anything when he came, it was all just activating the line on their side off site. The stupid thing is that I just had to cycle my modem and it worked right on the day off. It's not as if they come and turn on a switch and it's done.
Dat TF2 withdrawal
Frig. Yeah, I called their tech support, waited for 30 minutes only to finally get a rep on the line saying he couldn't do anything.
I'm poking around on my default gateway right now seeing if there's anything I can do but I doubt it, I ain't no master hacker.
And yes, the TF2 withdrawal is REAL.

"Pretty unhappy" is an understatement; it's the equivalent of having a Hanzo main.
