Can’t stream the game because I’m in Mississauga. Is this racism?

“In conclusion, Mississauga is a land of contrasts… thank you.”

Checking the map in Marmora, and Google is now estimating 25 minutes faster, and I’ll bet the delta will be bigger by the time we’re done lunch and getting back on the road.

For the record, we’re stopping at the cafe in Marmora, which I always remember as the Odd Cup Café, as it was named a thousand years ago, and is now called Miners.

Thank you! This is exactly the type of revalidating the decision I had previously taken that I was looking for ;)

There used to be a Country Style on St Laurent near the museum of Sci and Tech that was frequent haunt for Hillcrest students.

Friends. I need to drive to Mississauga today. Was planning to eat the tolls on the 407; but Google is saying that $47 would save me a whopping 2 minutes vs 416-401. Do I pay anyway for peace of mind that the time estimate is consistent, whereas the 401 could add an hour or two without notice?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.
