Your age rounded to the nearest decade

[EmilyMiller]

Round up = 70

Is that in dog years?

Em

Is that in dog years?

Em

Uhhhh... yeah! That's the ticket... dog years! You betcha.

I don't want to age up, I want to age down. You can't make me say 50; I won't say it now, and maybe not in 2 years when I am 50. Oh, damn it, I said it.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Still, 30 for me. I'm not sure how I'd answer this after September next year. I'd be square in the middle at that, between 30 and 40.

60 in years but sometimes 20 in maturity. There’s a room in my house where I keep my guitars and amps, stereo and music collection, as well as assorted stuff I’ve collected over the years. My partner calls it her teenager’s room. She’s not wrong.

70

 

[soflabbwlvr]

60. But I don't feel a decade over 50

 

[LittleLilyCanWrite]

40

Maybe you need to invent more maths. Yeah, plural. Love from the rest of the world.

I was a ninja at autoexec.bat and config.sys

 

[MillieDynamite]

The rule is you round down until you can't. Look at Mary, still wanting to say 40, not 50, and she still has almost 2 years left before she is 50.

[jehoram]

I really have to update the chart at some point

Em

Yes, you do.
FWIW, I'm rounding down to 70. My friend in college was the one who programmed on IBM cards. I got my first computer when I was in my 30s... A Kaypro* 2 with two, count 'em two, floppy disks. Shortly afterwords, I got a TS 100 laptop that had cassette tapes for storage.
Like the old conversation between old hackers:
First hacker: "COBOL? Fortran? Hell, I was doing it all in machine language. Ones and zeroes!"
Second hacker: "You had ones? All we had were zeroes!"
Third hacker: "We didn't even have zeroes. we had to use rocks! We used to have sticks for ones, but the dog ran off with them."

Leave me out of this! I'm still 39, ya hear me, 39 now and forever.

As I told someone earlier, I remember installing Linux from floppy disks...

What, proper floppies (5 1/4 ")?
Or "stiffies" (3 1/2 ")?

 

[intim8]

I’m feeling very young on here today.

So I don’t want any personally identifiable stuff. Just if you are 32, then 30. If you are 37, then 40. If you are 19, then 20.

I’m making an assumption we have no 100s and we really shouldn’t have anything less than 20, should we?

Thinking of drawing a histogram.

I'm 'saw the first moon landing live as a kid' old. Or, more relevant to this site, had to watch out for the clap, but Aids? Never heard of it.

I know a guy who suffers from a double case of Aids, one in each ear.

3 1/2"s. I certainly remember using 5 1/4" floppies, but not for installing Linux.

 

[Broncanus]

50... sheesh, I certainly don't feel it

 

[Filipinawife]

30 gosh

 

[Lindi37]

40
Feel younger
Look older (much older if you listen to 12 year olds )

 

[Stimtheone]

I used to listen to stories on cassettes. 30. Yes, my country is backward a bit.

 

[stiv837]

60

 

[AmandaKellyUK]

40

I like a good "stiffy"...

Tom Baker is 89 and soon to turn 90. My God, I didn't get he was that old. I've been watching his turn as the Doctor and just never realized he could be that old. But started playing the Doctor in 1974! That's years and years ago, almost 60 years ago. He doesn't look bad to be so old. Yeah, that has nothing to do with this thread. I saw him on a post and followed the link.
