AI Thread Summary
The turbosphere, also known as the homosphere, refers to the part of the atmosphere where gases are well-mixed due to atmospheric motion, preventing significant separation by weight. The discussion touches on concerns related to the presence of unpleasant odors in this layer, as well as specific worries about the methanosphere in retirement living communities, highlighting potential issues with methane and gas emissions.

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...
