Just a friendly reminder about posting policy. While this isn't a double post, it is kinda spam because you posted the exact same thing two posts ago. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and chalk it up to just a mistake, but please be careful in the future.

Also, 19?

Somewhere between 10 and 140.

I mean, it's a bit vague when it comes to humans but it'd be scarilly accurate if I were placing an age on geological formations.

To a given definition, a human being IS a geological formation, of course.

Yup. Mostly seems to be comprised of water and a calcium based compound, a few trace minerals. Occasionally questions its own existence and watches netflix. Not to be confused with stalagmites.

Does anybody have any general advice regarding such a diet (e.g. avoiding fish with high mercury content or finding sustainably-farmed fish) and how best to switch to it for someone used to eating lots of red meat?

Pescetarianism is a cop-out IMO but mercury should not be a problem if you can find local sustainably farmed fish (the local part is very important if you are doing it for environmental reasons).

This is great XD

Anyways how is everyone? I'm not sure if I formally introduced myself, but I am Thils, the European ambassador to your lovely region! If you have any questions or any concerns, let me know :)

Hawwwwwww how is Late 30s rude to someone in their early 30s? I would say I was fairly close! :D Seeing as I didn't even know you were doing a PhD. Hey a 4-5 years gap is nearly a perfect age guessing if you're using pure "Pull-a-random-chit-out-of-a-hat" technique.

Caracasus wrote:This is why I don't try to guess ages...

I know but it's a calculated risk you gotta take I guess. After all, There's no friendly banter without the risk of offending someone slightly.

Caracasus wrote:Right. So people usually go undergrad/masters/phd right? The usual age for starting an undergrad degree is 18 or 19. That's 3 years which puts us up to 21 or 22. Shortest masters and PHD would be 1 year for the masters, 3 for the PHD.

So if someone actively caned it through higher ed and didn't want or need to take a year out or so that'd be around about 25 or 26.

I mean, you could probably factor in a year or two working to save money for it, or a gap year if that's not a concern. Add another year farting around trying to figure out what to do or writing a proposal as well... yeah, I'd say the average would probably be mid 20's to early 30's

Sounds about right! I started undergrad at 17, finished a 1 year Masters at the age of 21 (British Education System). If I had opted for a PhD I would have been done by 24, (Assuming there was no horsing around and just going year on year back to back). Those are British Universities though, I know it takes a longer in the states.

Palos heights wrote:I just turned 26 back in July.
I could have sworn you were in your mid-20's like me!
What do you consider a typical age? I had mine at the ripe old age of 24

See Caracasus! Palos did it flawlessly at 24.

The southern cascadian states wrote:I bet you cannot guess my age.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and sayyyyyy 16!

See I don't know why I said that but my thought process here is: 1. Relatively younger nation, 2. Just because you challenged me to guess your age I have to assume it's not going to be anywhere near the median and will be in one of the extremes of 10-18 or 55-70, 3. Judging by your nation and I don't really know why, but I'm going to wildly assume that it's between 10-18. Or it could be a red herring and your age could be 24-25 and I could be completely wrong here since I would never guess the obvious :D Or I'm overthinking on too little fact soooo tell us! I'm excited to find out!

Stalagmites watch Hulu on their neighbour's wifi, the cheeky sods.

Alright then, how old do you reckon I am? Could be good for a laugh. You actually get a medal if you're within 2 years.

35, maybe? I know you've talked about kids, and you seem like a cultured person, so I think the thirties is the right range.

Cultured though? I dunno, honestly I think it's quite likely there's more culture in the opened pot of yoghurt at the back of the fridge.

Uan aa Boa and Ransium are the professionals so definitely send them a TG. If you really want your draft resolution ravaged as if you insulted the Khan of a mongol horde, then message Imperium Anglorum, but he doesn't have a lot of time so he may take a while to respond.

I'm very much a novice but I have drafted resolutions that didn't get through. I'd be happy to throw in bits and pieces in case it helps. DEFINITELY message those two though.

Well, if you write on anything that I happen to know a lot about. Economics, public policy, etc. If you write on, say, reproductive education, I'm not going to have many comments for you

Believe you me, I turned it down a bit :D I could have replaced the "right after" bit with "post" and I was also going to put in a "Post-haste" in that sentence before deciding to turn it down a bit :D

Speaking of, New ladavia you should definitely post on the NS Forums viewforum.php?f=9

I'm about to turn 32 on the 24th.

Having a birthday on Christmas Eve was unpleasant. As a kid, I really did not enjoy having to go to church every single year on my birthday; my parents preferred the vigil service because it was easier to get seats, in addition to relatives combining gifts ("this counts for birthday and Christmas") and no one ever being free to do anything ever.

Yeah, I find it interesting that there are young people around Forest as well. It seems that most of my generation is either in a Pacific or a meme-based region.
