  • Friend recently asked me something similar as he’s finalizing a divorce and has started dating again, though he’s a bit younger than you (and the girl is a bit younger than your example).

    I forget exact ages but the half your age plus 7 rule was met. Say 42 and 29?

    She worked in our industry and specifically the same role he did, but at a more junior level I have to assume.

    Distilled down a but I essentially said if they like each other and they are together because of that, then it’s fine. They are both adults and can have fun together as much as they want. They need to keep that balance though. If it becomes a mentorship kind of situation then they probably both need to take a step back and reflect on what that means.












  • While this is technically true, in practice I’ve found there’s always something the old PC is missing, tech wise.

    Socket change. Ram version change. New version of PCIe.

    Effectively you need to do mobo/cpu/ram all together.

    The only other components are GPU and storage, which I agree are generally transferable, but depending on age you may want to upgrade too.

    I guess PSU but that is thankfully something you almost never need to upgrade, unless your new GPU sucks down a lot more watts.

    Maybe if I had an AM5 board I would be in a better state, but currently on AM4 so my upgrade paths are limited (already on a 5000 series chip).
