I’m ball parking it cause I was a little kid, but roughly 20-ish years ago? Late 90’s to early 2000-something. At one of the Motorola research plants in Arizon

I’m ball parking it cause I was a little kid, but roughly 20-ish years ago? Late 90’s to early 2000-something. At one of the Motorola research plants in Arizona. Back when Motorola still made semiconductor and PowerPC chips.

You said you met her when you were 9. Assuming you know how old you are now, why do you have to then ballpark the year? Just curious

  No reason why OP should disclose his age.

  Not op, but personally I have to break out the calculator when it comes to my own age. It's like it's a more viscous entity than an integer.

    Is this a math joke I don't get? How are integers a thick liquid?

    This is funny and true, but honestly, I’m just deliberately obtuse about my personal info. Nothing special, just like my anonymity.

    Same. My SO got quite upset a couple of years ago because I didn't know on the spot how old she got on her birthday. My explanation that it's much more efficient to remember the year she was born given that it doesn't change compared to her age fell on deaf ears..

  OP ballparked the age they met Lisa Su (it may not have been 9). Also no reason to disclose their actual age.

  Yeah, sorry, I like to be deliberately fuzzy about any personal details on the web. That’s all. You’re right that I could use exact numbers, but I’m a dumb human who at one point puts an exact number and at another tries to be clever and vague (and fails). I could do the math, you’re right. It was also a long time ago and I could have been 8 or 10. But 9 sounds right.

    Oh I didn't think of that reason, that makes sense! Not sure why I got so downvoted though lol I was just curious Edit: I see now, you edited your comment and I think that caused a lot of confusion

      ??? I still have “when I was 9” up top. You mean on my reply? You are right, I did say 9. I just tried to be clear and concise. Sorry if it’s causing grief. Was not my intention!

        You're right I got confused... It is getting late here.
