Quote from: TDoS on Sep 07, 2024, 09:07 AMAnd while I am hell on wheels when it comes to peak oil, geochemistry doesn't even make my top 10 favorite topics...maybe you've confused me with someone else? 

Oh good grief.  Going into Mr. Peabody's WATBAC machine, you claimed to be an expert in this branch of scientic research with numerous papers published blah blah blah.  An engineering degree I recall from Notre Dame ot some other 3rd tier school.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't from one of the top ranked schools for Petrogeology related field, since you have a huge chip on your shoulder regarding education.

Geochemistry is the branch of Earth Science that applies chemical principles to deepen an understanding of the Earth system and systems of other planets. Geochemists consider Earth composed of discrete spheres — rocks, fluids, gases and biology — that exchange matter and energy over a range of time scales.

The Top 3 schools for the subjects are:

Australia National University
Cambridge University
China University of Geosciences Beijing

Down further come MIT & Stanford and University of Texas at Austin just makes the Top 10.  I recall you mentioning them at some point.

Regardless of any of that, your cloak and dagger adventure to ole Dixie to have a chat with me about EVs was so amazing until you reminded me of the chat I had no memory of meeting you whatsoever.  You were just another faceless person I talked to that day about the SUN project & EV Scooters.

Ain't no one here but us geriatrics at this point, and undoubtedly none of our memories are as good as they once were.

You were wearing all black, which was kind of weird in the days heat. And that hat. Dave and Monsta were mostly over by their own sunshade, they had a cooler, seems like someone was using it for a seat, Eddy wasn't around. The boy that asked about the scooter was black. From where we were standing, the SUN sunshade was to my right, Wendy was manning it, John was out in the sun at a table doing something bambooey with a few lookers on. Only that one boy interrupted us.

None of our memories are as good as they once were. Some are better than others perhaps. 

I had a white beard. Perhaps that helps?

My memory is fine.  The meeting was unremarkable and non memorable for me.  It holds importance only in your mind that somehow we met IRL and this validates your participation here as "real".  It doesn't and the encounter was a waste of your driving time and gas.  Any further mention of it will earn you another trip to the cooler.
