    Mighty GabeN is getting pretty deep into his wizard years, I best prepare myself for his passing.

      The dude is 61, not even retirement age in the US. You don’t need to be dramatic just yet.

        Before anyone gets their “um actually” comment in…

        Yes, he would be eligible for retirement, but your average retirement eligible american isn’t expecting to retire until 65-70.

        He’s been significantly overweight for most of his life, though, although a bit better than his worst these days… The beard makes him look older than he actually is, though.

          Yeah I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Obesity shortens life expectancy by around 10 years. Life expectancy for men in the US was at 79 years before covid (it is now down to 73 years). Gabe is currently 61 years old so he can be expected to die by the end of this decade.

            I’m not sure that applies to billionaires, who have unlimited access to the best possible medical care.
