AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the challenges and considerations of using a bike for a child with special needs, particularly regarding the suitability of different bike options for a long and lanky child. The spouse has experience running and has previously considered using a bike but is deterred by the high cost of spare wheelchairs and the weight of their current electric wheelchair. They explored options with a bike shop, which suggested a robust tow-vehicle for toddlers, though concerns about accessibility for the child were raised. Additionally, there is a lighthearted mention of a forum member, Borek, reaching a notable milestone of 12,999 posts.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

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...
