how long you gonna live?

my old man died at 65 so im already well into middle age

pretty sure my diabetic body won’t even last that long, I’ve been diabetic since 21 so heart attack in 40s is likely, especially since I live pretty self destructively most of the time.

people around me don’t really like hearing it but there’s no use also fantasising about a world where I am a helpful grandparent or long lasting companion. this way I can use the little life I have left to pass on my wisdom asap

my diabetic father who is like 72 and has broken eyes and feet and heart keeps saying “one day i’ll tell you and your brother these cool stories from when I was an undercover cop in the 70s”. like why are you waiting dad? tell the cool undercover drug cop in the 70s stories now

my grandfather did "cleanup" duty in germany towards the end of the war in 45, and i never got to hear a story. i assume he was picking up debris and sweeping floors.

What age range is middle aged? I have heard more than one opinion on this.

a comedian summed it up real nice

if you take your current age, and double it, and someone that age dies, would it be described as a "tragedy?"

if the answer is "no," you have entered middle age

logically middle age should be the middle period of your life. not very many people make it to 90.

also gotta lol @ "mid-life crisis." by the time you have a "mid-life crisis" you are cruising towards the end and just unable to admit it. even the name is delusional

steam cars were the luxury option of their day

if i understand it correctly the hp rating for steam cars was a misleading measure of the continuous power output. so that 2 hp single cylinder steam engine could put out a hell of a lot more power in a short burst, after you've built up a head of steam.
