We observe it and I have always disliked it. Seems to be outdated and unjustified in modern day life.

I have always wanted to see Paintball added into the mix.

We got a dusting at best. It is way too early for 8" of snow.

Elon Musk's $44 billion deal to buy Twitter is now complete after an extremely rocky path and that path does not appear to be any less crazy now that he owns the platform. The deal that started with Musk wanting to revamp Twitter's "free speech" and moderation guidelines has already resulted in the firing of CEO Parag Agrawal and multiple other executives from the company. TL;DR: Elon Musk now officially owns Twitter. CEO Parag Agrawal and other execs were terminated. Donald Trump is still banned, but unknown for how long. A return of Jack Dorsey? Probably, unlikely. These firings are not unexpected as Musk has been very blunt about wanting to revamp the company from within. However, it still leads employees to wonder about their job as Musk has also been posting about cutting the staffing levels by significant amounts once he became the owner. One major move is still in the air and that is allowing former US President Donald Trump back onto the platform with the November midterm elections upon us, this is sure to be a major topic. Elon has stated that one of his first moves would be to unban Trump and even after the crazy buying process, that does not appear to have changed. The future of Twitter is aligned with a mystery at the moment and it may even involve the co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, who has been in talks with Musk about the merger. However, there is no official statement about what the future will bring for the platform. View full article

We were going to make a room as the wife loves to play some instruments, but it has not gotten far. Prices on building materials and some other needs have outweighed it.

Sounds like a great time for sure!

Always fun! Congrats on Off Topix's 13 years.

I used to watch it, but never got super into it and honestly I didn't even know it was still ongoing. However, the skill and such of the players is incredible.

Baseball/Softball is always a solid choice as it can be played at a more casual pace for older groups. I always found basketball to a great choice for this as it can be super intense or very laid back and is still super enjoyable. Plus basketball can be a simple 2 person created event or a full team vs team sport without much loss in the fun.

I always loved the drums, but never even attempted learning them.

Olympus Has Fallen Love the Has Fallen series.

Agreed. You can't really post a good subject and come back in a few to add to the conversation and they likely moved on already.

Ya, vague terms are a terrible idea for something that many people make side or even full incomes from.
