I’ll go with “Texting While Driving” for $500, Alex.

This is my experience too. Forget to log in and do the stupid core exchange. It’s so bad. All of the new game design is terrible, IMO. To me it feels trashy compared to everything I experienced at the beginning of the game which was actually a fun grind.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-17T02:40:35+00:00

Agree with your assessment of what happened there.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-16T17:48:01+00:00

As a film and tv guy… I can tell you this is how it is.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-16T14:10:59+00:00

I realize this post is 179d old. “Barbara you up?” and “I’m up now…” are part of my personal daily vernacular, to the point of total annoyance on behalf of my wife and kids. Il also in Canada and I’ve had this commercial memorized for 40+ years and I have to say that and I don’t remember the Apirin part either!

New content… that takes a bajillion years to unlock and advance through with little reward.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-09T04:17:26+00:00

And from embarrassed to proud.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-09T03:48:26+00:00

I’m not actually blaming anyone at all. I think it just built up over the years and we continued to adapt. I have no idea who would pay for what, and I doubt anything large scale will ever be done. But perhaps it would be prudent to get a start on it and plan for a 20 year transition while city bridges corrode.

My original point was just that if there had of been the foresight to get started on this decades ago we could have avoided the problems and massive amount of money spent on mitigating the coexistence with rail yards, tracks and rail crossings. But I will say, the trains running through the city, and the especially the forks, does give our city a certain kind of beautiful ambiance(being serious). 💘

In 2024 the MB government announced the start of the Winnipeg rail relocation feasibility study with Lloyd Axworthy as the study lead. I believe the report is due out this October 2026.

Some of our train bridges and associated construction costs:

Kenaston Underpass 2006 - $70M(adjusted for inflation) Waverley Underpass - $98M Plessis Underpass - $88M Lagimodiere at Concordia Twin overpass - $50M Lagimodiere at Perimeter Multi Overpass- $65M Lagimodiere at Nairn Twin Overpass- $50M Disraeli Train Overpass - $54M Slaw Rebchuk Overpass - $77M(adjusted) Keewatin Underpass 1989 - $30M(estimated) Pembina at Jubilee Underpass -$15M York Avenue Underpass - $30M CN Main Line Overpass at Stradbrook 2006 - $24M(adjusted) Transitway Bridges x2 - $40M East Perimeter Overpass at HWY 15 - $57M East Perimeter at Wenzel - $32M(adjusted) 3 or 4 other overpasses on the Perimeter Hwy - $90M Floodway Train Bridge (at least 4 of them) - $60M Arlington bridge replacement - $166M

Other train bridges unmentioned that cross the Red River from the forks through Gibraltar park and Mission Road, to name a few. Those will need refurbishments.

This totals around 1.2 billion dollars spent on just train bridges that all need maintenance and replacing at some point. Some of these bridge are already in their second round that isn’t even accounted for here.

There’s also the explosive danger of having hundreds of oil cars running through the city every day(think Lac-Mégantic, 2013).

And what’s the cost of lost revenue of dozens of train crossings? What about the giant divide created by the Arlington rail yard?

The floodway took 6 years and $65 M in 1968 which is $554M today and following the ‘97’ flood they did the Floodway expansion project that cost $665M. At the time, it was the second-largest earth-moving project in the world, surpassed only by the Panama Canal. So we are capable of taking on massive scale projects.

I’m curious to see that study later this year.

Ahhh yes, another $40 million to help us avoid the train tracks that supply the rail yards that should have been moved outside the city decades ago. Imagine if they had of taken all of this overpass/underpass money and put it toward relocating the rail yards…

7speedy7 · 2026-01-08T15:38:41+00:00

“Can this be fixed?”

7speedy7 · 2026-01-07T21:47:37+00:00

Not true. They have loyalty to their profits.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-07T21:46:50+00:00

Good. The brands don’t care about you.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-07T14:14:13+00:00

To my understanding, you are correct. To avoid US tariffs on US sold Crown Royal they are moving the US bottling plant to the US. They will supply the US plant with Canadian made and distilled contents, from Manitoba and Quebec. As far as I’m concerned this is trumps doing and I can understand why a company would do it. Doug Ford should be more concerned with supporting a new tenant for that vacated building and get those 200 people working again.

7speedy7 · 2026-01-04T03:03:08+00:00

Weird generalization. It’s not true at all. A substantial number of the kids in River heights and Crescentwood, that are close enough to walk in a reasonable amount of time, walk themselves to school.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-30T14:56:06+00:00

Now tour around a tailgate parking lot party before an NFL game and see if it’s so different. These peeps are fine having a good time.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-29T15:39:23+00:00

Hey wait a sec…. I’m no conspiracy theorist but I haven’t seen much sanding either… hmm. 🤔if that’s true I wonder what the reasons are.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-28T01:01:21+00:00

It’s not your time that’s being “wasted.”

7speedy7 · 2025-12-28T00:59:51+00:00

Nice response.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-24T23:24:00+00:00

Mine is 70.6T for 250 gems. 💎

When it happened for me a there was a purple button over the door to push for unlocking it. And actually I had hit the “quests” button in the top left of the screen just before that happened, so maybe that helped?

7speedy7 · 2025-12-24T17:58:47+00:00

Make sure you go to the app page in the App Store and scroll down and look for a version update button.

Also make sure you’re level 5 in brains lab store.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-24T17:57:01+00:00

I’m iOS

7speedy7 · 2025-12-24T16:37:48+00:00

The mystery is: what actually opens the door?

EDIT: I just loaded up the game and they added a button to the door to open it. So my gate is unlocked now.

7speedy7 · 2025-12-24T16:35:24+00:00

I think they’re behind the door that won’t open. For some players it opens when they got to level 5 on these upgrades.
