hmm, the mean age might be more significant than average since there are many experienced members here.

The one that I really "felt" was 50, and the last year and a half has been tough. I will be 63 in 3 weeks.

The only thing I "felt" at 27 was my bald spot, when it got sunburned for the first time, and I didn't even know that it was there.

Haha. I've been balding since about 25; I knew it was coming based upon genetics. Tomaterhead, as I like to call it, is the worst. All the aloe in the world and it still just makes you feel so hot and annoyed. Then it peels and your head looks like you have the worst/largest dandruff in the world for a week.

Male baldness patterns are established in the mid-late-20s.

How the patterns progress is not necessarily the same. I have 2 younger brothers with the same pattern as mine, but I have retained considerably more of my hair than they have of theirs.

I've been showing signs of balding since I was 20, perhaps earlier. Hoping to the be the baldest guy at my 10 year high school reunion. Will be tough competition, though.

All my stress is self imposed. I did play lots of baseball and work jobs that required me to wear hats or hardhats all the time. I think the abrasion while sweating a bunch hard something to do with it. I've notice that since I started wearing medium length socks everyday that my ankle hair disappeared.

I've put in about $2500 over the past two years. All of that coming from money I've saved from Christmas/birthdays/pocketmoney, and from money I've earned from work/CAD stuff. It's easy enough when there's nothing else you need to put money into.

My parents have certainly never given me money to spend on keyboards, but it's possible to build up a substantial collection so long as you spend time searching for things at good prices. I'd say mine's worth about $10,000 at the moment.

I have most of my keyboard money from the hobby itself from trading and selling.

you'd still need some initial capital to obtain the starting keyboards, unless you inherited them from elsewhere.
The running theme here is that most of us earned the money ourselves

that's what i mean. his post implies that his money came from the hobby itself, but he would still have to have money to start the hobby, which means it came out of his own pocket, unless he inherited the keyboards from elsewhere.

no worries, internet can't convey tone well.

i actually automatically assume people spend their own money on this. no proper parent would be dumb enough to give their kids money to blow on this ridiculous hobby :P

yep, that's what i meant - you made the money yourself to start the hobby, then made more money off of it. your original statement said you got the money from the hobby itself, which is great, i'm glad you were able to do that! all i was saying is that to start that money making process, you still need initial capital - i.e., the money you made yourself from non-keyboard activity.

I don't see, how you couldn't save keyboards from trash with dignity.

But anyway, good keyboards appear for cheap in thrift stores, at auction sites, in garage sales, at recyclers… My first few mechanical keyboards cost me less than €10 including shipping, and they were worth way more than that.

I think you have to be at least 21. Unless you are French, of course.

Soon it will be a mark of honor to have been born in the 20th century.

My son only made it by 3 weeks.

Due to recent die-offs, only 3 verified persons remain alive from the 19th century.

when I was growing up,


When I was growing up, "1984" was a novel you read in high school to frighten you about the future.

The movie "2001 A Space Odyssey" was altogether plausible.

Even when I was a (young) adult, the TV show "Space: 1999" while not plausible, still seemed very far off.

JD Carpe is an outlier by being 40-something.

I don't really want to be the old guy in a bunch of whipper-snappers, but it is gratifying on some sort of level.

Actually, young people are refreshing and invigorating to us old fogies, as long as we can hope that you might fix this mess that we live in.

My father's generation fought World War 2 (aka "the Good War") but we took the wrong lessons from it and allowed another, slightly different, group of oligarchs take control of the planet.

Please use the vote and the power in your hands to make our great country have a government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, and for the PEOPLE again, and never forget that corporations ARE NOT PEOPLE, regardless of what a corrupt Grant-era Supreme Court said.

No. Instead it impregnates the beams. And makes them weaker.

I am currently reading 1984 for my own personal gains. Great book so far. It is a part of a personal trilogy of books that I am reading: Slaughterhouse-Five, 1984, and Catch-22.

There is no number in the title, but always felt that "Brave New World" should be read along with 1984. They present 2 different faces of an unpleasant coin.
