    And thanks for proving you you don't even understand basic math. Good job.

    30 years + 95 days > 30 years + 0 days.

    Once you've had your 30th birthday, you've been alive for 30 years. Anything after that, by definition, is over 30.

    Thanks for explaining that. From now on I’m going with “over 21” for my age.

    If you're more than 21 years and 0 days, you're over 21.

    Look at it this way, which is more 30.00 or 30.26?

    Ryan Anderson is 30.26 years and that's more than 30.00. He is over 30 years old by 95 days.

    I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just extending your argument (by a wide margin).

    I am entertained that we’re talking about if 30.26 is older than 30 lol.

    He's not under 30, is he? Today's not his birthday, is it? Then, by definition he's over 30.

    This all started when I correctly said Anderson is over 30. He is. I don't see how anyone can dispute that.

    I’m not disputing it, I’m saying I find the fact it’s even being discussed entertains me...

    I find it bizarre than someone would dispute such an easily verifiable fact. Just go to basketball-reference, select the player of interest and it tells you their current age right down to the day.

    Because he has no other argument other than technicalities of age.

    Until he’s 31 he’s 30 btw. And he’ll be 30 all next season.

    This is some JET stuff right here. I hope this doesn't turn into a 3 year argument like JET made over how many games over .500 a team is.

    So, by your standards someone that is 30 years 364 days is no older than someone who is 30 years and 1 day.

    If you asked Ryan Anderson how old he is, what do you think he'd say? My guess is "30". Most people just reference the whole number amount of years they've been alive. So I understand where @Scalma is coming from.

    You know, this is one of those situations where both people are right. You are right "technically", but practically speaking, Ryan Anderson isn't "over 30"... he's just 30.

    Isn't the off-season wonderful?

    When someone asks you your age do you include days?

    Hes 30. He’s not under 30. He’s not over 30. He’s fucking 30. Gonna go have another drink now good bye.

    No, but if I was 21 and 1 day and someone asked me if I was over 21, I'd say yes.

    My initial comment was factually accurate.

    Enjoy your Shirley Temple.

    I see you like them with a pinch of salt. I know that because I'm over 22.

    Literally just depends on of you're rounding down or not.

    Y'all are arguing two seperate, legitimate things.

    Since I spend all day in front of text editors all it makes me think of is, int vs float. I’m enjoying it though.
