AI Thread Summary
Online book clubs focused on cosmology textbooks are being sought, similar to traditional literature book clubs. The conversation highlights the potential for collaborative learning in physics subjects, with a mention of the idea suggested by Srendnicki regarding quantum field theory. In the U.S. college context, such gatherings are often referred to as "study groups," which have historically been popular for collaborative study and discussion. The interest in these formats indicates a desire for community engagement in complex scientific topics.

In USA colleges, we used to call them "study groups" and they did flourish. Hopefully, they still do.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
