Were you 63 years old when you worked like that, like Phil?

No, but I'm not talking about Phil. People here are claiming no one can work that much. You can, but it's not healthy or sustainable.
Millions of old guys work like that. The old dude who owns your local bodega probably works like that.
For him work constitutes for the most part just being at the bodega. I worked from home for about 5 years. I was at home nearly all the time, and did concentrated work 8-9 hours a day. Can I claim I actually worked 16 hours a day just because I was at home and there were deep learning training runs running in my garage? Of course not. When I say "work" I specifically mean _doing_ something, not just being there.
