How old are you?

[tresch]

I'm 28!

... or was it 27...

 

[brig001]

I'm 28 & 1/2

Well, 28 and half of 28, but it sounds better that way.
Been interested since I got given a Dansette - could fit 7 LPs on it and play one after the other - brilliant, but pity I only had two LPs.

Upgraded through the years, got married, down graded. Now have new interest in the subject due to enthusiastic son.

So let's see...that would make me 28 plus half of 28 plus half of half of half of 28 plus 1.

Somehow I don't feel better saying it that way.

How young am I ?
I don't remember.

 

[ashok]

We are only as young as we feel !
The packaging is a different matter and out of our control.
Being a 'wise' 20 year old in an old package is an incredible achievement !

That is indeed a good philosophy... as long as we remember that to any young ladies we are really as old as we look!

That statement does obviously not always hold true

Hmm........

There are some old ( VERY OLD ! ) systems for maintaining our physical being which can overcome many 'problems' of the package getting old. You will be 'older' but still attractive to many !
Youthfull ................and that doesn't mean 'young'.

really

I always tell the ladies i just turned 25, but have an aging disease and never hit a home run.

(it becomes disturbing when "older" women start to give you the winky at the vegetable stand in the supermarket. Brrrrr, shiver.)

from the desk of Jacco:

and never hit a home run.

Jacco, I'll bet you've gotten to first base with 4 balls many times...

swing!

I started working with electronics when I was in 1st grade (~8 years old). It didn't take long for me to actually build circuits of my own as opposed to just following plans. In 5th grade, I built my first bench power supply based on a simple buck converter. I then learned more and more about electronics and now at 20 years of age, I have a good knowledge about electronics. (Likely well into the top 5% or even top 2% for my age group. But that's not the biggest deal. What I consider the biggest deal is that I'm one of the very few electrical/computer engineers who bother to shave their legs. I know less than a dozen others who do!)

I trim my ear hair, does that count?

 

[planet10]

I used to shave my legs (& chest & back) for swim meets, but that was a while ago... and i probably don't know as much about electronics (especially those 3-legged bug-like ones) as Star.

Is this just manscaping, or do you race bikes?

Uh Jeff, I think that means Star's better suited to be a mommy than a daddy.

Not to mention some modeling along the way. I believe her avatar is the real deal.

It is common for Americans, especially those in the south, to shave their legs. (I guess it is very uncommon in Canada?)

I don't currently race bikes, but a possible future plan with a friend to develop a Hybrid Synergy Drive bicycle (built for two, perhaps?) could change that. With what current power electronics and LiFePO4 batteries can do, it would definitely be nothing like those $300 Walmart hybrids. There is a misconception that hybrid bicycles are slow, and with the help of a friend, I think I can change that.

 

[vinylkid58]

My apologies Star. Around here, old guys that race shave their legs.

I had no trouble catching a commuter on one this past winter. He did drop me once we got into the hills thou.

I can see a distinct advantage riding a hybrid to work, you wouldn't be all hot and sweaty upon arrival.

[stuman]

have a look at her avatar, i would take a wild, WILD guess at her being a girl...

just a guess tho.

Really fast hybrid bicycles have been built before. Just none based on Hybrid Synergy Drive.

I'm still reading the details but 150A would definitely make for a very fast hybrid!
