I got tired of buying new jerseys too. My current jersey is a #6 with no name on the back. Why #6? An all time great Bomber and it happens to be my seat number, so it also helps me remember where I need to go

Does anyone know if the vacancy rate of downtown has recovered since the pandemic? I know there has been a mix of companies that have gone completely back to in office and some that have stayed hybrid remote (which require less overall office space). Wondering if it is time to come up with a new vision of a downtown that isn't primarily focused on a 9 - 5 work crowd. The need for all those business to be focused in a small area seems to not be what it once was.

Based on how active this thread is, quite a few people 😀

I've split out the discussion on Winnipeg and urban decay to this topic

Dystopian future is here

3downnation has been in a tail spin since Drew Edwards left.

Next purchase: Fur coat

I asked ChatGPT to generate an image for "Create an image of a football stadium for Princess Auto Field for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers", to see what it would come up with. It certainly has problems spelling, but love the Blue & Gold.

Or if a goalie deliberately takes his helmet off, he gets a delays of game penalty. Anyone remember this play?

A good article about Winnipeg https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-winnipeg-what-to-know-wab-kinew/

I've had no problem going down to the main level from the 300 level. Metal detectors and ticket scanners happen before you enter either area. I've never seen anyone stopped from going up or down.

Was at the game last night. Not sure if it was because it was Saturday night, the team is winning, or both, but was a fun atmosphere in the building. Haven’t seen it like that in a long time.

Unforeseen detour is taken out of context by many. His full quote: His career, his salary, his life. If this is the route he wants to take, not sure why so many people care.

Unforeseen detour. Still goes to show, NFL has always been his goal and will keep trying until there are no more opportunities.

He could just retire. He is 71.

Mandela Effect. There are a bunch that people swear happened but never did. The name comes from a common misconception that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s.

Weird article. What Jets fan was asking to get Laine back?

She is married, so if all this is true, do you see how that could cause a rift in the dressing room with the Blackhawks up and coming franchise player?

Bought them for $285M in 2000. 13% annualized ROI. Not bad.

Don't know if anyone has been following the drama happening at OpenAI this past week (creators of ChatGPT). At a high level: The board of ChatGPT fired CEO Sam Altman as a big surprise to everyone Microsoft (which owns 49% of OpenAI) offered to hire him and give him his own department for AI to run 70 - 80% of OpenAI employees wrote an open letter to the board saying they would quit and go work for Microsoft if they didn't re-instate Sam Altman and resign from the board Some board member who voted to out Altman pretty quickly changed their mind It looks like Sam Altman will soon be returning to OpenAI with a new board. What's interesting (aside from all of the above shenanigans) is this quote So rumour is the board thought Altman was moving too fast and reckless with AI, was not forthcoming / honest with the board in what he was doing, etc. Will be really interesting to see where AI goes and what future iterations of ChatGPT are capable of over the upcoming years.

We had shirts made the first year we opened the site. I think maybe there was a half dozen that we sold. They are definitely a limited edition now. Don’t think I even have any anymore.

This site has no where near the budget (or revenue) to fly someone out to Grey Cup. And I'm really only here because I had the technical know how of how to throw a website up and keep it running (most days). But if someone is interested down the road, we could certainly chat.
