Not sure if it was discussed above,  but how many you guys know why they used a boat as a symbol for this year's siyum?

GRABBING THE DAF
 By Yonoson Rosenblum | JANUARY 1, 2020
At the first Siyum HaShas held in Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, Rav Meir Shapiro, the initiator of the worldwide daf yomi schedule, peered presciently into the gathering gloom. He quoted the Gemara (Yevamos 121a) in which Rabban Gamliel describes standing on the deck of a ship and seeing a nearby ship crash and break apart, casting overboard a great scholar — no less than Rabi Akiva himself.

After reaching dry land, Rabban Gamliel was shocked when the same Rabi Akiva appeared before him to engage in halachic discussion. Rabban Gamliel asked him how he had survived being thrown into the watery deep — to which Rabi Akiva replied, “A board (daf) of the boat floated into my hands. I grabbed on to it, and I bent my head before each and every wave that came toward me until I reached the shore.”

Rav Shapiro emphasized that Rabi Akiva lived during one of the darkest periods of Jewish history, marked by the loss of national independence and the nation’s spiritual center of the holy Temple. But even under the harshest Roman edicts against Torah learning, he produced outstanding talmidim, who would restore Torah to its former glory.

The daf of the ship to which Rabi Akiva held tight, said Rav Shapiro, can be understood metaphorically as the daf Gemara to which we must hold tight for protection against the evils of the day and the far greater horrors yet to come.

So let's quote it for you.

צוו חכמים שלא ילמד אדם את בתו תורה וכו׳ אמרו חכמים כל המלמד את בתו תורה כאילו לימדה תיפלות, במה דברים אמורים בתורה שבע״פ אבל תורה שבכתב לא ילמוד אותה לכתחלה ואם לימדה אינה כמלמדה תיפלות

Pretty clear I think.
Thank you. It's extremely clear that the Rambam doesn't say it's assur for woman to learn Torah
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

The giants somehow were only eliminated from the playoffs on 12/16, and from the division, which would have meant a home game this weekend on 12/9.

Even if the agudah somehow could have had an option to host on Sunday if no playoff games, there wouldn't have been enough time to publicize the date change.
