Greetings! Pull up a chair and tell us a little about yourself!

Yes, welcome aboard.

I am a Telecommunications engineer. Telecom Engineering is probably one of those fields that witnessed rapid advancement in recent years. It comes as no surprise that it is among the most pursued careers today.

Great post

thanks for info

Whoa!
Just came back to this forum after... you know... a few years.
Can't believe how dead it is... has peakoil hit home yet?

Judging from everyone around me In the Real World, I think everyone is on Twitter and Instagram these days.

Also, solar panels and windmills are going to power everything soon, just ask Gavin Newsome and the World Economic Forum. /sarcasm

Yup, peak oil finally showed up in 2018 and as expected..no one has noticed.

As far as activity, old farts who probably aren't as prolific on the more modern social media platforms are mostly all that is left.

Sooo.... PeakOil finally happened 5 years ago... and everything is still going and no one noticed or sees a difference?
Wasn't this supposed to end the world or something?

How silly some of you must feel at this point. There is a difference between 'predicting' the end of the world, and just 'hoping' for the end of the world ya know.

Maybe the forum is so dead because people figured out that people posting here were just a bunch of losers?

Something like that. How is fuel in your neck of the woods? Are you still able to buy it by the gallon, tank, or have it delivered to your farm in a tanker truck? That's pretty much how it is most places. Some folks claim to see the 2018 peak oil in their tea leaves, but they mostly started saying that only after the war in Europe started, and Russia got punished for being, you know, Russia.

Not really. The half witted and slow who fell for every peak oil ever claimed wandered away when it became obvious their religious belief wasn't enough to make peak oil happen, and they had no sense of humor to withstand the resulting ribbing about how oil-ignorant they obviously were.

Well sure, but the people who dared even point something out that benign way back when were generally banned and their pre-cognitive abilities denigrated. After all, if you aren't part of the faithful, you can't be allowed into the church lest your critical thinking skills infect others.

More like the social media world took off in other places. Some of the more ignorant peak oilers landed on the Facebook page of the same name, they also ban and denigrate folks who show up and ask questions or make statements similar to yours. The diehard Church Of Peak members just love an echo chamber. This place has actually mellowed as the nutters fled for better controlled echo chambers, I find the forum setup more comfortable than what you are forced into in the new systems, plus you can find quite a few OG peak oilers here. Many of us in fact.

hi everyone! I'm new here! I can say that social networks and platforms are not always convenient for discussing narrowly focused issues. Too much information garbage, it's distracting
