You confirm what I have long believed Peter. The most powerful forces shaping our world (and us!) is a combination of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing.
'Harvest now, Decrypt later' would be very handy if a neutron bomb type event wiped existing data.....

When I was asked to give an impromptu five-minute speech and then to count backwards in intervals of 17 - all in front of a panel of three strangers - the acute stress was written on my face. That is because psychologists from the University of Sussex were filming this somewhat terrifying experience for a research project that is studying stress using thermal cameras. Stress alters the blood flow in the face, and scientists have discovered that the drop in temperature of a person's nose can be used as a measure of stress levels, and to monitor recovery. Thermal imaging, according to the psychologists behind the study could be a "game changer" in stress research.
Well I never!

I suppose it depends how good you are at maths, its fairly straightforward ,deduct 20 and add three each time.

See THIS for evidence of collateral damage....
Smoke plumes caused by oil depot and refinery strikes drifted across Tehran on Monday, satellite images show, as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that attacks on oil facilities could pose serious health risks to residents. Since the US-Israeli attacks on Iran began on 28 February, we have confirmed strikes on at least four oil facilities around the capital. Residents said smog and pollution have blocked out the Sun and left a strong smell of burning in parts of the city, while experts warn the scale of some of the pollutants released could be "unprecedented". The spike in air pollution appears to focus near the damaged oil sites around the capital - a city with a population of nearly 10 million, with millions more in the surrounding areas.

It's effectively chemical warfare by the US and Israel and will cause lifelong illnesses and early deaths among Iranians and anyone else affected by the wind. The lighter particles, vapours and gases will affect surrounding countries too.

And I suppose it will be dismissed by Trump and his gang as unavoidable collateral damage..... Man's inhumanity to man.

So much burning oil has been released that it's running along street drains and creating a wall of fire and toxic black smoke. That can then trigger fires in buildings elsewhere. It's just one big awful catastrophe created by Trump and Netanyahu.

we also get wind from the south , late feb had that arabian desert sand for example. it also screws global warming CO2 targets

"It's just one big awful catastrophe created by Trump and Netanyahu."
And no signs of any exit strategy.... Trump says the US has 'won' but doesn't give any evidence...... Meanwhile the environment is destroyed......
