    Old people love to spout glib bit’s of wisdom, unfortunately, most of the wisdom is so outdated or blatantly wrong that young people often mistake their wisdom for early onset of Alzheimer’s.

    Used to be a Molecular Biophysicist, now I mostly develop system clusters to calculate/image molecular topography (or as my wife puts it - I went from science nerd to tech geek).

    Rooney’s right, but it applies to most of modern life. How much of our lives is spent paying for or maintaining the things that make our lives “easier”?
