Reminds me of the time that I was in a class on geoengineering and was supposed to have a debate with another student about "Should we fund BECCS in Brazil or fund efforts to protect the rainforest?" (I was advocating for the first)

Two days before the debate I went to a talk about the rainforest with my debating partner, then the night before his friend was stabbed at a bar trying to break up a fight and he rode up to Syracuse in an ambulance so it turned out I was well prepared to give his presentation.
