One New York minute equals 47,653 milliseconds (1 ny’ = 47,653 ms).
Or, about how long it would take to decide to move upwind or hit that thing. Perhaps the decision-making process accelerates with experience: been there, done that, got the tee shirt/scar/restraining order/rash that just isn’t going away… But it’s said that age doesn’t necessarily bring wisdom but does bring perspective, aiding your judgement (maybe) but not keeping you out of trouble in the first place. For that I prefer vicarious learning: what happened when he licked the frozen metal flag pole? how many EMT did it take to disconnect?
