Cottage cheese isn't really cheese, it's just a curd to me.

Known for quite a while but click bait headlines are best click avoided.
In fact I simply blacklist the newbie, often science defying, drivel ones.

We drove through Bristol the other week, totally oblivious that there was a ULEZ zone. We had to pay a fine. In our defence, neither of us had driven through Bristol before and it was dark and raining, very hard to see signage and road markings.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
The initial letters of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds are LSD. I was watching a documentary about the Beatles last night and they mentioned that. It had never occurred to me.

Now I may have thought - LitSwD. What's so special about that?

Did they elaborate on Doctor Robert?
The connection between The Beatles and drugs is hardly a secret.

There are quite a few signs before you hit the zone, for several miles in both the directions I have approached it (you go through a short section of it if heading between South Wales and Bristol airport). But fortunately, my car is compliant, so no fees to pay.
 
It can be difficult to see unexpected signs in areas you do not know

There have been a lot of people who complain about the bridge tolls here but the signs are obvious if you know they are there

people who are confused and not sure where they are going do not see then as easily

True, but there are quite a few signs, for a mile or two before entering the zone. I wuoldn't say I know Bristol well, I have been thrugh there twice in teh last year.

I can understand that as a general point, but the signs are quite large and often by themselves, so you shouldn't be miss them because of looking for direction signs.

Road sign clutter is real.
Put too many in one location and they get ignored as it is too confusing.

Several of the signs are isolated, like these

It really doesn't seem that easy to miss these.

Low publicity China seems to be accelerating away in technology.
They are likely 5 years ahead with nuclear SMR design/operation. They dominate and own the exoskeleton consumer market. They dominate and own the TV Mini Led. They dominate in both new battery technology and solar.
And with wind, 20-26MW turbines are entering service.

Yet hardly a whisper.

That's a funny collection of things. Nuclear reactors, batteries yeah. Important stuff.

But exoskeletons? And more specifically consumer exoskeletons? That's a bit niche isn't it? Or are all the kids wearing the latest exoskeletons these days and I didn't notice.

They announced some big AI breakthroughs a couple of months ago, too.
