Does anyone know what happened to them?

LowlyPion was our most prolific HH until he disappeared without a trace several months ago. He'd had a fight with a mentor, but I can't believe that would have driven him off, he was too well liked.

rewebster said he was dying from having had the flu for several weeks, we were in the middle of a debate and he suddenly disappeared. I can't imagine him giving up when he was winning. He was very, very sick.

Anyone know what happened? Or how to reach them?

Evo, what was our discussion about?

does the absence make the discussion grow fonder?

So you're alive. That's good to know.

My friends dog died last night. He was really sick and they didn't have enough money to take him to the vet. I didn't want to be there when he died, but not only was I there, I was the one who noticed him convulsing for a few seconds until he died.

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'
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...
