I thought "robots had no feelings" but this article may say otherwise...
Robots are learning workplace etiquette at MIT

Nice mistake. :-)
Thought this was the "must win" draw, but got it wrong.
4 numbers but sadly it's only paying out on 3. 1 number was the bonus. :-(



Not bad returns though, £3 out £30 in. :-)

Time for an amusing read, about a whale and dynamite, with a little moral to the story concerning the Coronavirus outbreak.

It reminds me of a scene in one of the “Termor” movies. Using 4 pounds of C4 to kill a worm was complete overkill.

Sheltering in place is the likely cause of Los Angeles scoring the cleanest air in the world right now. (Source: CNN)

I'm guessing that image is of it on a bad day, because most other cities even on their bad days aren't that hazy.

LA has natural haze. The best days are the 2-3 days after a storm. Here is a shot from Feb last year. A clear day after a storm.

Natural haze is that hazy?
Generally it's only hazy here (in fact pretty much anywhere except for the large cities) if there are fires about, or [i]really[/] windy days picking up dust.
You only tend to notice some haze if you're at a high elevation & you can see well beyond the usual horizon.

To tell, LA gets a sea breeze most of the year. It keeps the humidity up. That is the summer haze in most of the world. If it gets stronger it is called a marine layer or fog.

Now I do remember the days of petrochemical smog, or NO2, O3 and sunlight. Sky was a nice brown all the time. Visibility at best was 3/4 mile. Hurt to take a deep breath, same pain as a heart attack.


Its a lot better today.

Denver Colorado..'The Mile High City' has a smog problem unique to it and perhaps a greater degree Mexico City. Both caused by their altitude and reduced 02 content. We refer to it as the Brown Cloud when events occur. Stringent Gasoline content requirements (so called oxygenated fuels using ethanol additives) have greatly reduced the levels of ozone(the primary air pollutant at altitude), despite the major increases in population ergo traffic. The last really bad day we had was in 2012...
