HA!

But Good "Old" Sandy (born 1964-07-26) was the highest-paid
actress in 2010 and 2014 [1] so perhaps she can afford to buy
really exclusive food, at least? Then again, while I'm not
always the perfect gentleman I am gentleman enough to not have
the dame pay the bill on a date... No, all of this will have
to be postponed until after my upcoming employment of the
fort-knox.el script...

Maybe ... if that's what happens ;)

This is getting too confusing...

OK, but let's stick to Sandra, I know that is an foreign
concept in your part of the world but bear with me. How old is
she? What do you get with PostgreSQL?

I get:

Lisp: [2]

(time-from 1964 07 26 0 0 0 2021 03 22 0 0 0) ; 56y 253d 0h 0m 0s [1]

zsh/dateutils.ddiff: [3]

$ time-from 1964-07-26
56y 7m 24d 0h 0min 0s

(Oh, no, now I see, not even normalized output format...)
