Comment on Toronto Blue Jays prove they're top dog, clinch ALCS berth in the Bronx in ~sports.baseball
Wafik Link ParentMeh, it's been a pretty one sided relationship so I choose to enjoy this as much as possible because I know on a whole over my life the Yankees will win more.Meh, it's been a pretty one sided relationship so I choose to enjoy this as much as possible because I know on a whole over my life the Yankees will win more.

For that reason, we keep two dedicated hot spots on hand from a different ISP (main internet is Rogers, hotspots are Bell).
Our internet used to be a lot more unreliable but I figured out it was because our tech cabinet was so full of unused crap contractors left after each time we got an upgrade that wires would get pinched causing something to reboot. I finally got a contractor out to clean up our tech cabinet and we have had zero internet issues since.
Thankfully we have run into a situation where both ISPs were down at the same time. If we did, we would probably just close and go home.

The prequel idea is interesting but without de-aging of the original actors, who cares? At that point just make an action movie. Aside from using the same names and doing heists, how do you connect it to the first movie in a meaningful way?

WNBA sounds like a great idea to me. Much easier to route for. We just got a WNBA team in Toronto starting next year, so I'm looking forward to getting more into women's sports. They have definitely been blowing up recently for general interest.

Wafik Link ParentFair and also, every sports franchise is owned by billionaires, so it would be impossible to enjoy professional sports if we tried to hold that bar. And I know exactly what you meant. I hope you...Truly? Of course not. But relative to their competitors...kinda? I used to tell myself that about the Buss family to justify my Lakers fandom. I don't know how I'm gonna weasel my way out of it now.

And I know exactly what you meant. I hope you don't feel like I was giving you too hard of a time or anything.
I like Tomlin. I think he is a good coach and I'll take winning over some of the terrible franchises out there. I'm just honestly baffled by the QB decisions over the past couple seasons.

If we are going to give the family credit for the Rooney rule, then it's even more egregious they hired a washed up QB with dangerous opinions that he can't stop talking about. But really, it's Mike Tomlin trying to do his best to destroy his reputation and the franchise.

Football is similar. 30 years of my life has been spent as a fan. What do people even do on Sundays without football?

I'm actively boycotting American companies and products and have realized few things are more wrapped in Americana than the NFL. If I'm not going to watch "my team" then I guess it's not too much further to go to boycott the whole thing.
Sorry to go political. It's a weird thing to reconcile.

I love Remedy games and was always worried about this one. If you're going to set your game in the Control world, you need either cool world building or an evolution of the powers. They went with the cool world building, which is hard to translate in MP only games and didn't do enough of it. Post it note monsters and sprinklers? Cool, but old super fast if that's it. They needed like 10 more of these ideas.
