Those of us not governed by inane US laws?

heh. Sometimes I wish. i mean, since i was 18 (and was in college) I've known kids 21 and up....So if we wanted a six pack it was there. But only once did we ever get into a club, and I never was desperate enough to dish out $100 for a fake

If I would have had the spare $1300 for the printers + magnetic strip reader/writer plus an oddly calibrated internal risk calculus I would have really been in business.

I know the sample size is small, but how did the +30 people compare to their younger peers, in terms of productivity/execution, dealing with adversity, etc? Any noticeable difference in character due to age?

The two main differences are that the older guys tend to be better presenters, and more tied down geographically.

Lots of talk about 'healthy white males' and 'guys' on news.yc tonight. I understand women are in the minority, but we do exist. Correction: I just re-checked the other post I was referring to and they said "healthy young male" not "healthy white male". My apologies for the misquote.

Sorry, ma'am. I happen to healthy and male, but with above average melanin. Trust me, we are aware and very glad you exist.
