Terry Davis, the schizophrenic individual who was tasked by God to create the TempleOS operating system (and spent over 12 years single handedly doing so) was killed by a train in Oregon (link: https://www.resetera.com/threads/templeos-creator-terry-davis-dies-during-his-great-western-adventure.65752/ )
Details remain sketchy and the death has been largely unnoticed other than by his followers and family. Some speculation is that it was suicide.

Have any Soylentils ever installed and played with TempleOS?

A woman I knew from Caltech, Misha Mahowald [mahowaldprize.org] was tearing a huge wide swath throughout the scientific community with her invention of Neuromorphic Engineering [powells.com] in collaboration with EE Prof Carver Mead:
She was building electronics that could see just like human eyes do.
But she became Schizophrenic then threw herself in front of a train in Switzerland at the age of thirty-three.
She was very quiet, studious and gentle. Her death was truly a loss to us all.

Maybe he wants to get to know it first
Tell you what, let's meet down on the train tracks, encounter a few trains, and if you survive make a list of trains for him to meet.
Howz saturday for you?
