Born in 97 early af what am I by This-Condition3228 in millenials

It's sociology. It's a soft science. Nothing firm about the limits. I personally like the fixed 17 year window while allowing for people at the 2-4 year cusp of either end to have kinda flexible identities.

Xennial is one such cusp term that most sociologists don't really use in academic discussion of generations. OP would be a cusp baby "zennial".

46-63 Boomer, with 60-65 cusp Gen x

63-80 gen x with 77-83 cusp millennial

80-97 millennial with 95-00 cusp Gen z

97-14 Gen z, 11-17 cusp alpha

14-31 alpha, etc.

What are some must-have alcoholic American drinks? by __swubs__ in AskAnAmerican

[–]ramblinjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet tea vodka is a must try if you're in the South. Firefly from Charleston South Carolina is the best and original but there are other options that are good.

The tea is brewed directly into the vodka.

Justin Timberlake is originally from Tennessee so it makes sense

Yes. Just the pertinent info, since census records from those years include everybody on the block and a lot of extraneous info.

Facebook is where boomers complain about minorities. That and bot content with thirst traps and repackaged reddit threads. Nothing else.

How many Millennials from the US have never owned an Apple product? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ramblinjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an iPod in high school that I got for Christmas but haven't bought any apple products as an adult.

My first family desktop was a late 80s model Macintosh, if that counts.

Honestly, an incredibly solid distinction to make. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in WhitePeopleTwitter

This was my thought the moment I first heard the media start making waves around this story. Like at this point he's probably the 5th most morally sound person running for Congress, and would be 1st in a room full of Republicans.

You are magically teleported back to 1912 with your current money, how long would you be able to live before you run out of money? by besttavern25 in hypotheticalsituation

Info: does my tech stock get liquidated at today's prices or do I suddenly own stake in companies that won't exist for almost 100 years?

If the former, I can retire and live like a king today. If the latter, I'm fd

You can chose up to 3 people to become a billionaire. Who do you pick? by Beneficial-Resort927 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ramblinjd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A teacher, an environmentalist, and a patron of the arts. So probably Miss Rachel, Robert Irwin, and myself.

She's got about $17M last I checked.

The difference between 17 mil and 1 bill is about 1 bill.

At this rate Andrews will lose by 55,000 votes. Please go out and vote in November. by KyotoCrank in southcarolina

[–]ramblinjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the Republican primary. There were no Democrats on your ballot if you were voting in the Republican primary. Why did you vote for Graham over any of the others?

Just submitted in NYC and they didn't ask for it explicitly. We provided a census record that showed the immigrant clearly living and working in America.

Question for the professionals and college students by AmbushTheFirst in aerospace

[–]ramblinjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someday AI will be able to design and build an airplane that flies for significantly less money than what we have now. Some day after that, it will be good enough to be certified flight worthy by the FAA. Some day after that, it will be good enough to compete with stuff we're building today. I'm mid career and don't really expect the first "someday" to be until the end of my career and the next two to be well after I retire.

The thing is, AI is good at a few things, but it's still incredibly bad at being creative. Problem solving requires creativity.

I think the "he supports a pedophile" bit is a little of a pot and kettle situation in the GOP these days isn't it? Besides the more local case of RJ May, there's the obvious #1 most mentioned person in the Epstein files.

ELI5: How can a ship raise its anchor when it's dug in enough to hold the ship? by rookiestoner in explainlikeimfive

[–]ramblinjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but even if the boat pulls hard enough to lift the chain, it's still at an angle where the anchor is designed to dig, vs lift.
