@archon Similar reasoning to why historically men have hunted, fished, or played golf together. A social activity where you are doing something together, not just staring at each other across a table. Board games are a lot cheaper and more flexible than those other activities though.
@theficouple $1M is probably well above average net worth in your 40s, but certainly not wealthy enough to retire in most places in this country. Not eligible for SS or Medicare yet, but on a good path

@bonchieredstate Going to vary across the time zones and latitudes, but for St. Louis, if we stayed on permanent DST, the longest days would be about 6am to 9pm, the shortest days would be about 9am to 6pm. I’d go for this.
Going off DST shifts the winter to 8am-5pm.
