  1995 was 30 years ago.
  In 1995, 30 year old movies would have been made in 1965, and in the 90s we would have absolutely considered movies made in the 60s to be “old”. So, I’d say yes, movies made in 1995 could be considered old.

  Land is one of the few things you can just sit on and it’s guaranteed to gain value, they’re not making any more of it, as a matter of fact we’re losing it to climate change with desertification and rising sea levels.

  If it’s farmable land I would rent it out to a farmer and make some extra cash, and if at any point you need some money you can always sell a few acres, otherwise it would be better than any amount of Cold hard Cash to hand down to any children you may have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A quick search suggests that the average American uses about 1.3 pounds of honey per year.

  I think this is a case of people not eating honey and bringing the average way down.
  My current SO puts honey in her tea and goes though about a pound and a half per month or about 18lbs per year.
  It might sound like a lot but 24oz over an average of 30 days is less than an Oz of honey per day or 2 tablespoons across 4 cups of tea every day.

  America reached its tipping point of ignorance in 2016, we’ve been toppled since then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d need chemical lasers to quickly vaporize birds, but it could be done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The bullets that don’t hit the birds would rain down on populated areas.
  Bird strikes happen at lower altitudes and airliners flu much higher than birds unless they’re taking off or landing, and they almost always takeoff or land near a play populated area.
  More people would die on average from stay bullets then from airplane crates caused my bird strikes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you want to see the people who killed Osama Bin Laden prosecuted?
  Because the United Heath CEO killed far more people, including many more children, than Bin Laden did on 9/11.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  About the time they start walking.
  Once they’re standing up, they’re tall.
  While they’re still laying down, they’re long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more or less always been like this.
  p2p services like Napster were getting a shut down and replaced with limewire, then limewire was shut down and replaced with FrostWire. The Pirate Bay has been shut down at least half a dozen times, demonoid was shut down 6 years ago, Grooveshark was once an ad free music streaming service but tried to go legit at some point to save themselves, every few years the movie and record industries get a burr up their ass and go for the piracy and streaming websites. But these websites have always been like a Hydra and when one of them is killed, several more eventually pop up to take their place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Voltage is the same but wattage is not.
  Most of your phone chargers will be 65w or less while a laptop isn’t going to charge on fewer than 100w most of the time.

  Placebo effect?
  Maybe you got a touch of food poisoning one of the first times and now you subconsciously associate it with date nights?
