      TBF, the veracity of the information is relatively field dependent. Structural engineering? Yeah, probably still as relevant as the day it was published… Quantum computing or astrobiology theory? Far more likely to be superseded or debunked.

        Hold up,

        2024-1994=30 years

        Since a century is 100 years, 1/4 would be 100/4=25 years

        How did you get 32 years equals a quarter century?

      I have a backpack that’s over a quarter of a century old. Which I got new, and have been using actively for that time. Great fucking backpack.
