Quote from: Goldernen Oxernen on Apr 16, 2025, 05:12 PMYou seem to be wandering farther afield than I can follow. What is an alphabet soup agency, are you referring to the USGS and Hubbert's work for them?


CIA, DHS, FBI, ICE, etc. Alphabet agency is a common colloquialism, you should be familiar with given they are your federal govt


Deleting posts certainly has nothing to do with being misleading....it is more like  retrieving the pearls after they've been dropped and no one seems capable of undestanding that they are indeed pearls.

Which you would not be dropping for free then, fitting with talking about what easy money it is, posting for some govt entity. Quite aside from being able to deny you said anything people remember you saying, unless you were quoted if everything is deleted.

What does 1890 have to do with anything? The first credible "end of oil" was claimed in 1886, so if that claim by JP Lesley is what you're referring to, you are off by a few years.

You didn't mention JP Lesley in your answer to the question when was peak oil, if so many other dates are wrong because the wells didnt all run dry in the given year. I guess if extraction in 1890 exceeded dinosaur 🦕 🦖 decomposition and compression, you would have been right.


Oh my goodness yes, I certainly ran someone not off my property, but out of the very trailer we lived in! At like 2AM after they broke in. Where you live, is it illegal to defend ones home from folks breaking in? The legal trouble wasn't mine in that case but theirs. And there was nothing to "go free" from. I wasn't arrested or even hassled by the police, I did have to testify in court though. 

If by "legal trouble" you are referring to another incident involving perfectly reasonable defense of ones person using a firearm, again, is self defense not permitted where you live? Because here in America, it is perfectly legal.


You said you were but a teenager when you had to lawyer up and got away by a whisker of going to jail for it. If that is consistent with either incident mentioned today, puzzle solved.


imagine if we all made up scenarios and pretended that the exception was the rule. Good thing exceptions are exceptions, and not the rule.


That is not a made up scenario and the corrupt functionaries involved are corrupt day after day week after week, month after month, year after year.

Quote from: TDoSI don't know what an evergreen collapse is. Did a pine tree fall on your house?

By 'here' I meant this website as opposed to the old Diner discussion of China. I suppose since the Chinese real estate conglomerate taking down the entire Chinese market and economy didn't happen just as I believed it would not, Evergrande was forgotten and autocorrects algorithm thinks Im shopping 🛒 for one of your xmas trees.


Given that the Diner no longer exists and therefore there ARE NO POSTS AT ALL, I'm not sure what you're getting at? i simply evacuated the burning building early.

Theres a "legacy portal". RE probably saved the entire contents to microfish and 5" floppy disc so you can use your TRS80's TDOS.  Use  MSDOS for the web portal.

Someone sure did like Planet X and Nirubu big time back in the day!

Whoever they were probably wore 👟 shoes. If you were on whatever forum with them and also wear 👠 shoes you are as good as being one and the same. Thats  the basis of this whole line of reasoning after all.


You seriously don't think the Diner was the only place attracting folks who vanished into the ether when it turned out that peak oil came and went, Mayan calendar day came and went, and the world just...kept...spinning...do you?

They largely got bored with telling you peak oil does not mean empty bowsers everywhere on a given day of cataclysm. The pattern of events we see unfolding fits my expectations at least. Ill wager that membership was larger not smaller in 2013 meaning nobody was disappointed on 21/12/2012. 

If you remember the Diner, you remember the level of activity through time. It got big when folks could be talked into the world ending, and when it didn't, wasn't getting bigger. It wasn't because the place was burning down, but because the world burning down turned into economic boom times after the 2005 peak oil, and the 2006 one, and the 2008 one, and so on and so forth. It was boredom. Doom never came.


It was personality and political differences, to put it politely.


If you compare that, to the modern version, even the big and well known ones like peakoil.com, and TOD, the enthusiasm seems to have vanished into Qanon and other interesting topics rather than the REAL problems the planet has.

Qanon was supposedly Donald Trump, and the fools believing it were all Trump supporters. You could have found them on The Burning Platform and Kunstler commentary. I wasn't aware oil price and TOD were 'far right'.

Damn straight. You want it, you keepit. I didn't even know how bad it was until I went to college. You want to scratch your life out of the dirt in the holler, have at it and enjoy. But don't expect all of us who lived that life to join you once we've escaped. Selling poverty is harder than selling peak oil consequences nowadays, 7 years after it finally happened.

Who does the lasooing then?

no need to answer that, this is only getting circular
