All I care is that there isn't too much Cheetos or Doritos dust on it

 

[Kave_Man]

What the hell is Captain Toad?

[Kuro Madoushi]

There's more dust than anything else on the controller.
Vita doesn't have the data cable (I dunno where the hell it is but charger is there). Also go freeze in a dump, Kapitan Kave

So I don't need to load up a pack mule for tonight?

 

[dluu13]

So I don't need to load up a pack mule for tonight?

I am donating my portion to somebody else who wants it. Otherwise it's a lighter load for you, Cripplegate.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

So I don't need to load up a pack mule for tonight?

Is still like you to bring it, please.

 

[Cripplegate]

Well, I'll still bring a case. I got 1 for Quad and 2 for CC, as I recall. Half a case for you, Kuro? More/less? I can still bring a couple extra just in case anybody else decides they want one.

Sounds good.

Totally random question: anyone know of a game or CD store that will fix scratched PS1 discs (for free or for a fee, doesn't matter)? I bought a copy of Wipeout XL off eBay a few weeks ago and it plays fine except for the music tracks, some of which are damaged enough to cause the game to rewind to the beginning of the song every so often. Worst-case scenario I might just try to rip the disc and play it on an emulator, but it'd be nice if I could keep playing on my PS3.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Well...that was awkward...

At Mr Tonkatsu with my wife eating and there this this couple next to us. The dude was lecturing her about something in Mandarin - he wasn't yelling but his tone was incredibly judgmental and I didn't hear her say anything. About 15 min of this and she just gets up wordlessly and just walks out. Not sure I've seen that before in person.

Are there any used DVD/CD stores near you? Try one of them. I bet one has a resurfacer.

Good for that woman.

I unfortunately saw the reverse of this while overseas. Was at the end of one of my days adventuring randomly throughout the city, and I was kind of hungry for some McDonald's, so I stopped into one for a quick meal.

It was one of those locations where you can sit on the main floor, find seating in the basement level, or go upstairs. I went upstairs and it was pretty much empty except for like 4 people not including myself. 2 older dudes who were chatting in a corner while reading the daily news, and then this mid-late teens couple on the other side. I ended up sitting in a corner booth on the opposite end of the same wall as the couple.

After taking out my combo, getting my own newspaper copy and putting my headphones in, I noticed the dude was basically blatantly talking down the girl, giving no shits and although the rest of the people on the second floor being within decent distance, he just continued berating her. I couldn't see her face because her back was to me, but you could tell she was crying somewhat from her body language.

I was quietly hoping she would just tell him to fuck off, and walk out of her own accord, but she just sat there taking it. He then got up and went away for about 5 minutes, then came back, and resumed talking to her as if he wasn't just a giant fucking jackass.

I think both Game Center and Gamarama have resurfacing IIRC. I would assume A&C games would tool. There was a used CD place between near Yonge and Wellesley (on Yonge), but I don't know if it's actually still there.

Well that's a new one. I've been called an asshole, a jerk, a hacker, and a try hard, but today's the first time I've been called a human trafficker...

Just realized we're almost through January and then only 1 short month left before temps are on the rise. By end of Feb the historical temps are around 0...we're in the home stretch. Team warm takes this winter easily, it's been a cake walk! SUCK IT COLD LOVERS!

One might start to think Team Sweaty Balls will continue to win more often than not in the coming years.

Well, according to documented science, heat causes thermal expansion and the cold causes contraction.

So one could surmise that this is a case of Team Big Balls Vs. Team Small Balls

We are currently ranked the 14th least affordable housing market in the world in terms of large city environments.

But at the same time, we are the only city in the world that consistently ranks within the Top 5-10 range of major standard of life quality indexes.

If it wasn't for this housing market, we could solo

in what universe did you make up that statistic? pretty sure most of the cities in the top 5-10 have been there for years. At least the ones I remember have (Zurich, Geneva, Vienna, Melbourne, Vancouver, etc.)

 

[capitalCORN]

Wrong thread.

Make up? It's actually rather easy to google this info(which you can).

There has been a report consistently published every year on this subject. The current one, ranked for the summary of last year, should be released shortly, but The Economist Intelligence Unit's Index of Indexes ranking, which also includes safest places to live(which we rank No. 8 in the world, and No. 1 for North America), has us as the best overall city to live across the major index categories.

Zurich and Geneva are not ranking cities, but the rest you mentioned are, but in the Most Livable Cities portion of the Index. Where Toronto currently ranks No. 4 behind Vancouver, because of their score on the weather quality portion of the livability aspect. It's kind of neat though that 3 of the Top 5 cities are Canadian(us, Vancity and Calgary), and Australia and Canada collectively hold 7 of the Top 10 spots in the livability index ranking.

Toronto is safest in North America?!
Vancouver ranks higher cause it's not as cold there...so everyone else agrees except for you igloo lovers! >=

lol, Yep. But what's funny is that Vancouver's weather rating still only pushes them 0.1% higher than us in livability. Basically anything rated in the 80-100 category entails very few, if any, challenges to overall quality of life. They ranked 97.3, we ranked 97.2.

It will be interesting to see what happens when this year's report for 2016 is released, because of the whole 30% increase in housing costs YOY.

Did it like charge your credit card due to being in range of a Presto Card reading or something? That's some shady ass shit.

And just another reason to utilize your own vehicle to get around town. It will eliminate a chance of getting anywhere near a Presto device.
