Hahahahaha

Okay troll, whatever makes you feel holier than thou.

Nice cherry picking, and with intentional omission, no less. You should get into politics.

I said, "SOME of the worst air quality imaginable."

Next time, simply don't alter a quote to give yourself a non-issue to respond to.

Yes, but it is entirely possible for more than one city to have poor air quality at the same time. Not being the worst doesn't make a bad one any better.

China was an interesting case. Beijing is a communist country and they were able to absolutely shut things down hard for the Olympics to reduce pollution. When the games were over it went right back up to their usual horrible levels.

Interestingly, there was a study done about the effects of the sudden drop in pollution on residents and their metabolite levels before and after.

Better than top 10 worst in the world? Sure, it's improved, but it's still seriously bad air quality.

Literally today the air quality is unhealthful and particulates are at 7.5x the air quality guideline value

And some of the worst air quality imaginable... perfect for elite athletes /s

Hell, Metro Rail was started in 1990 and promised a train to the airport among other things.

33 years later and they're only now building the people mover in LAX.

Fun O.C. story (I worked that show the first two seasons).

After Season 1 wrapped up Ben was a bit full of himself. He was the star of a hit show and he was starting to believe the hype. It was sad because he was a really nice dude and it was going to his head.

Fast-forward to the beginning of Season 2 after a nice long hiatus. We were chatting about his big trip to China and he goes, "No one knew me. I mean no one. They'd never even heard of the show. Couldn't care less. I suddenly realized this could all go away in an instant."

It was really cool to see him dodge that industry bullet. He had an epiphany and any inflated ego he'd been building was gone. So glad he's gone on to have a great career.

Mischa was such a fucking train wreck of a human. They really had no choice but to kill her off.

Adam was friends with the creator/writer so his character morphed from the geeky kid to the cool kid because that's what he wanted to play. He became far less interesting as time (and his input) went on.

Imogen is freaking epic.

I like the idea of essentially 3D printing foods at super high speeds, like a food replicator in space movies. Instead of plastics we'd use proteins/aminos/organics. Fascinating potential.

Some day we'll get there.

The real question is how much popcorn can it make?
