retired engineer, sailor, and farmer. Living in Puerto Rico and working on carbon dioxide removal projects. Sometime gamer, wild eyed liberal.
@RobCornelius You are on to us! Obviously too smart by half! So, look, send me a DM with your financial data that I can pass along to our Nigerian attorney; and they will be in touch to get you a share of the next ten million. But ixna on the amsca talk - VCs might be listening. The next share might be a little small, momma needs a new yacht.
@setsneedtofeed this is not news! This is ?? You are destroying your “brand” - who wants to subscribe to this?
@DocMcStuffin fwiw, this is NOT news, why is it in the NEWS feed on the fediverse?
@ghostalmedia why is NEWS boosting this sort of content? It is a comment (no doubt profoundly wise) out of context and is just clogging up fediverse feeds.
@Knickknack I volunteer with openaircollective.cc - focused on carbon dioxide removal, speaking of emerging sectors. It is all volunteer, and a good way to follow the burgeoning climate change mitigation realm. I’m using a lot of what I learned over the years in business to develop a wiki there: https://openairforum.org Come by some time!
@Knickknack @realChem I graduated in chemical engineering back in '83 and found myself in wastewater treatment consulting. I gradually transitioned to industrial wastewater and then hazardous waste remediation. It was a good gig! Retired in 2001, so it has probably all changed quite a bit. Good luck to you!
@realChem I retired from being a chemical engineer in the environmental remediation of hazardous wastes and petroleum. Went sailboat cruising, and stopped along the way to teach high school chemistry four years. Now I volunteer with OpenAir Collective working on CO2 removal (from atmosphere, not point sources - later is called “capture” instead of “removal” for some reason). Without chemicals, nothing would exist!
@sensibilidades @realChem MOFs are hot
