It is tough to talk about hockey lately.

Usually I could throw out any league wide stats on a whim and discuss who is sticking out lately but the isolation of the north division coupled with the Flames struggles has hampered that enthusiasm quite a bit.

I think I could talk about investing 24/7 and not get bored.

Sports is probably obvious also.

You'd be surprised.

Most people (adults) see the benefit in having the ear of someone with tax experience.

It is a very poorly understood field by many people despite it being one of the biggest expenses of businesses.

Also I couch my Tax Expertise within a comedically macabre sense of Gallows Humour.

We should have a thread about investing discussion. The stock market thread tends to be pretty meme-stock/speculative focused.

BDSM, everyone is always so curious about it and there is so much misinformation regarding the lifestyle.

Have you guys tried distillate? I bought some after a girl working at a cannabis store talked me into it, but I haven't tried it yet. It sounds great. It's like little package of splenda you dump into a drink. Apparently it hits you hard and fast (like 20 minutes per the girl). I bought a couple 10mg packages.

I have not tried them however I’m very intrigued.

Travel. With photography and scuba diving branches off of the travel trunk. Swapping travel stories is great.

I’d also be in the watch camp.

I still find 'Lifesaving Sport' hilarious.

Like...what happens to the poor bastard who is supposed to be 'saved' by the guy who comes in last?

"Sorry man....I'm just really not all that good at this..."

What the heck? I'll definitely have to ask about this product type next time I go stock up.

Something like this comment is what I'd chat about. Honestly speaking, I like talking/listening about topics I don't know about. I guess I'm a life long learner. Personally, I love experimenting with new gadgets and toys and I have often tinkered with certain types of tech/toys years before mainstream catches on. I also always love optimizing things whether it be layout/good value new technology etc.

I tinkered with Bitcoin when it was in the $300-400s but didn't think much of it. I was the first to sous vide/instapot etc. of my friends. I was lending my power bank to friends to charge their phones before they became ubiquitous due to Pokemon go. I'm tinkering now with heated jackets.
