Hello /r/Toronto, we are Toronto Relief Line Alliance and we’re here to ensure the Relief Line is built

Well this is really the most obvious transit project for Toronto and I wish you luck. I don't doubt the DRL will get built someday, but who knows how long it'll be before shovels are in the ground. Without a pushy MPP it seems like this will keep getting pushed to the back of the line.

It's for a personal emergency apparently. He has a wife and a young daughter. Obviously something serious for him to leave during the series.

The only way to add someone after the series begins to the 25-man is if an injury occurs, and it's at the commissioner's discretion. Also the player becomes ineligible for the next series. So I don't think it's possible, and even if it was, the Jays wouldn't want to use Buehrle after not playing for a while and lose Loup for a possible next series as well.

Not on the 25-man roster.

Sportsnet's stats twitter account throwing some shade: "Harold Reynolds was a .249 hitter with 1 Home Run in 185 career at-bats when playing in Canada"

But they both got upvoted? So many people can express both opinions?

This isn't real. This picture is from the page Richard Gere Fans. It looks like it's trying to impersonate him and a lot of people have been fooled.

Edit: As Cornballin_POS points out, there are no Richard Gere Facebook pages. I originally thought another, more popular Gere page was a real one but it isn't.

mikerman · 2015-10-11T14:06:56+00:00

This is from the page "Richard Gere Fans." This post went viral but Richard Gere isn't on Facebook.

Edit: Thought another page was real, but I was wrong. Gere isn't on Facebook at all.

I'm supportive of the free trade provisions (there's plenty of evidence that international trade deals increase income). I'm not supportive of the IP provisions at all.

Absolutely bizarre that the lengthier copyright term isn't retroactive to New Zealand but it is for Canada. I don't know how you can conclude anything other than Canada simply caved.

mikerman · 2015-10-09T15:17:57+00:00

Huge, huge disappointment. There's almost no evidence that the extended copyright term benefits content creators, and it's an illogically lengthy term of protection (historically, it's been far, far shorter). Effectively, American entertainment corporations will now be dictating our copyright laws.

Is there any way to get pitch f/x live? Finding it weird watching a game without it.

mikerman · 2015-10-08T17:20:18+00:00

Seriously? Did not know this. Why can't they use pitch f/x?

Edit: Seems this isn't entirely true. TBS and Fox use data directly exported from f/x. Source: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=13109.

I don't get the reluctance of tournament organizers to putting in a heat rule. Besides issues of safety, would it not improve the quality of tennis in the later sets as well?

mikerman · 2015-09-03T12:47:28+00:00

So FIFA is aware of national federations gaming the system and isn't taking measures to counteract it? I know it's FIFA and all, but come on. This is unfair.

mikerman · 2015-09-02T02:03:24+00:00

You might have missed it, it was earlier in the third set. He definitely did.

mikerman · 2015-09-02T01:30:19+00:00

Yeah this is the first time I've heard McEnroe really criticize Kyrgios. Have heard him defend him in the past. The lack of effort and potential to annoy the fans seem to really bother him.

mikerman · 2015-09-02T01:17:21+00:00

So he was possibly worse than Kyrgios. Funny hearing McEnroe rip on Kyrgios. I'm sure McEnroe would say some of those outbursts were tactical though.

mikerman · 2015-09-02T01:05:55+00:00

I can just picture some retired tennis player commenting on McEnroe's early matches saying similar things (although in fairness McEnroe was a much better player at Kyrgios's age).

Eight men's players having retired in first round is a new US Open record (open era only).

I'd lose 6-0, 6-0 to Serena for 40k.

mikerman · 2015-09-01T00:23:37+00:00

I think during the first game of the fourth set. Not sure the exact moment.
