A 1950s project is to blame"]]>In Germany I understand the non-native trees in the warmer climate are succumbing to beetles, and dying out.

I understand that they're being replanted by more native species.

(2024)"]]>I can remember there used to be a tube train set aside for smokers.

Sometimes it was thick with smoke and the walls would have tar.

After the Oxford St, Kings Cross Tube station fires, along with the Bradford stadium fire in the 80s they thought that safety could be improved a tad.

Personally, I like my air fresh.

They’re building their own grid systems, I would have thought they can see the bottle necks and plan accordingly.

Add to that they can use AI tools to speed things up, that’s the feedback system, sarcasm/hope.

The feel is probably the main thing, but sound is up there, I could try out various ones, and I find one I love, well nature will take its course.

In the dim and distant past there was a game Mazigs on the ZX81, a maze monster game, using ZX81 graphics.

Perhaps using those graphics for Nethack would be interesting. I think we could remove FAST mode.

Generally with such ideas several people thought and implemented it 20 years ago.
