Recognizing that it is not possible to confirm your age based on a picture of your face, we will instead be counting the number of rings you have. We understand this is the most accurate measure of age.
@jerry I wonder what type of rings you mean.
Rings with 1, without 1, commutative?

@jerry let's see, I have a Z[X]/(X²⁵⁶+1, 3329) here, some endomorphisms rings of supersingular elliptic curves, and my wedding ring. But I did opt for the Nest doorbell instead of the ring*, I hope that doesn't bite me now!
*I had to choose one or the other when buying the house "just a button that makes a ringing sound" was not an option

@sophieschmieg I'm convinced.

@jerry I remember UUCP, that makes me old, right?
@nuintari @jerry Here's a weird tidbit. Did you know I am a certified internet business strategist (CIBS)? It's true. Back in '97, Novell offered that certification, and I took the test. It was unquestionably the hardest certification test I have ever taken. It was an internet history test, more or less. One of the questions was: "UseNet is run on NNTP. Before the NNTP protocol was established, what protocol did it use?"

@nuintari There will come a time when almost no one left understand UUCP. and I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that.

@jerry I'm up to 12. But I've heard the neighborhood down the way a bit has a bunch more than my neighborhood did... so I'm hopeful there will be more soon!

@jerry Sad, definitely sad.
As a student of history who has had the privilege to meet and interview American and German WW2 Vets, I am filled with despair that nearly all of them are gone.

@jerry I thought the whole point of age verification was to stop the kids seeing the dreaded ring picture...
