Do you know anybody else who had 2 generations like that? It used to be more common but even back in 1970 the average was above 21. These days it’s above 27.

With every average there will be people above and below the average age. And since there are some people having their first child in their 40s, the median is actually probably below the average.

I found it more suspicious that both times the father was supposedly aged at the suspiciously round number of 20.

Here baby, come meet your 32 year old grandma.

The models that cost 3x as much now suck. At least it used to be possible to get one that didn’t suck.

It’s more the printer companies that are evil.

Printers from the 90s and early 2000s were still pretty good. They had problems with paper jams, but that’s not really surprising when you’re moving a physical object around like that. The models designed for office use were really sturdy and built to handle a work environment that was still mostly based around paper. So, they expected to be used heavily.

Since then, they’ve cheaped out on a lot of the components because printing is much less common so they’re not expected to handle as much heavy work. But, more importantly, the DMCA has allowed manufacturers to load them up with DRM that refuses to use any ink that isn’t sold by the printer manufacturer.

Countercounterpoint: this is a short comment by a 4chan anon, so it’s probably a lie.

That’s when the word “about” is useful. My grandpa is “about 60” and my dad is “about 40”, he got the PS1 when my dad was a kid. My dad had me when he was “about 20”…

I don’t think people tend to make up specific ages that are not accurate when they’re trying to obscure someone’s exact age.

The only slightly suspicious thing here is that both grandpa and pop had kids at exactly age 20. Not only is that a little younger than average, it’s also a very convenient number for a made up but easy to calculate scenario.

Because that’s the root of the issue. Genital inspections are a (terrible) way to determine someone’s gender. The reason why that is seen as necessary is that sports are segregated.

I’m not sure what that has to do with the question I asked.

I’m not sure what that has to do with the question I asked.

Should boys and girls play on different teams, or should all sports be open to anybody who wants to play?

Is the goal to invoke feelings? Or is the goal to be honest about your own feelings?

I disagree about the vows. Really big, expensive weddings suck. But, the ceremony that isn’t individualized should be minimized as much as possible.

If you’re going to make a vow that you want to be with someone for the rest of your life, the reason shouldn’t be “it’s just how things are done”. It should be why you’re making such a momentous decision about decades of your life. If there’s generic paperwork to be done after that, then do it. But, don’t make the generic paperwork the focus of the ceremony.

Musk is much more of an Edison than a Tesla. If he’d been honest he would have named his cars Edison. Then, the cool rebadge could have been Tesla. But, even he was smart enough to realize what an asshole Edison was, even if he didn’t recognize the Edison in himself.

I mean, steps 0-.99 are touching grass long enough to bring your brain back to equilibrium.

So, if the place you live has snow on the ground between November and May, you have to wait a few months to touch grass?

Or go to some small town you’ve never been before

How does that not require money?

The coastal part, sure. The mountain area of Washington is pretty conservative.

It seems like there’s a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.

These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn’t support or approve of what the modifier company does.

There was no Game Genie for the Atari.

Sadly, you can see the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic from space. Dominican Republic is the side with vegetation.
