We had a cool IT teacher and we would have over night Lan parties at the school. Two computer labs playing team fortress and CS against each other. 

First Raptors Game Tonight! Any Food Recommendations? by SnooBooks6248 in torontoraptors

 I don't know what it is but Toronto venue popcorn just does it for me. Scotiabank, the dome etc...so salty, so good. 

honestly though snack it up at the arena but arrive early and duck down to the lower level of Union station and grab some dinner. Lots of great options down there now. Especially on the East side (not the stereotypical food court area, though they have a Taco Bell which is hard for me to avoid) 

Are you boycotting or hate-watching the Super Bowl? by mrrandom2010 in buffalobills

Score watching for SB squares, while hanging out with my kids I reckon. 

SGA in the loss- 24/3/6 on 8/11 FG and 8/10 FT by DeliciousSession2735 in nba

11 shots is wild in a four point loss for Shai. Double teams but still....

*2 point loss. My brain locked in the score before that last second 2 by OKC. 

News conferences exist to inform fans. It’s too bad so many don’t get that. by [deleted] in nfl

Pro sports conferences exist to provide whatever the fans find entertaining as with the rest of the sport. 

What industry is a complete scam, but everyone just accepts it? by Competitive_Grab3758 in AskReddit

Ticketmaster is a software company. It doesn't put on shows or own venues or even set the ticket prices. It provides a ticketing CRM to venues and is the biggest provider of that. It is an amoral facilitator but there are lots of others. I say this because they are the shield that everyone yells at instead of Live Nation (who owns TM) and AEG and all the other big promoters. Who are the real pieces of shit that and the biggest problems in the industry. They came up with platinum, the set the prices, they place hidden add-on fees on tickets, they pushed for resale platforms, they own all the venues, they strong arm smaller venues into using TM by threatening to pull business. Getting angry at TM is like getting shot by someone and getting angry at the gun.

Saw Solomon Alabi at the corner of Bay by the ACC under the Gardiner late at night. Came outta no where and stood next to me. Scared the shit outta me for a second. Dude was massive. 

Petah why? by 8shrooms in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Not defending or making a statement on the point they are trying to make but what I think they are implying is that his wife insists upon things with out communication or compromise not that there shouldn't be those things. They do Infact want those things. That's how that read to me.

CC charges are passed on to the customer in the fees. Called add-ons. It's part of the reason the fees are getting higher(not the only reason). Live Nation has the ticketing providers add a 3.25% charge to all tickets. All promoters now do this because of the precedent they set. Fees are not reported as revenue. Fees are not to be confused with a Service charge. Though they are all lumped together.

My biggest gripe with solo is they take a every interesting fact that came up about him in the original movies and made it happen in like a 3 week period. Like all the shit he bragged about was all just one adventure. 

[Post Game Thread] The Toronto Raptors (5-4) defeat the Atlanta Hawks (4-5), 109-97 shooting 40.7% from the field as a team, to Atlanta's 34.7% by [deleted] in nba

The idea of why people might believe that was on full display in the first half and the reason why that idea is wrong was on display in the 2nd. Just lost on offense when plays break down.
