We are just back from a 4 mile walk mostly through the very nice residential area north of us.  The azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom and they have a golf course which made me sad the Masters is delayed.  It won't be the same.  Glorious weather, I feel sorry for the local restaurants that have outdoor dining, which is most of them.

Digital readouts would be a nightmare for pilots.  You don't want to look down and see 107 knots, you want to see where the needle is very quickly in relation to the various other gauges you need to read with a glance.  The position of the indicator is what you notice, not the specific airspeed or attitude or compass heading.  The frequencies on the radios and transponder are digital.  Even in "glass cockpits", they display analog style gauges for most things of importance.

You learn to scan the gauges in a specific T shape and you notice if something is "off" without having to read some digital output.  This is why nearly all cars went back to analog gauges even if they are LEDs.

Maybe put further colorblind talk on the stream thread?


In other news, the governor closed all golf courses in Illinois.

Yeah my instrument cluster is all LED but the speedo is analog.  It also has a middle section with dozens of readouts that you can cycle through, including adding in a digital numerical speedo, but any time I've done this, I find it very distracting and look at the analog gauge anyway.

Hollywood and Bollywood taking a hit

Oh, and in Corona news, apparently China has re-shut=down all its movie theaters once again.  They were starting to open up, but now are closing down again.

I guarantee we do this 2-3 times after cases start to decrease.  Because people are even more allergic to statistics (and bell curves and math) than they are to the virus.

I've been watching all the numbers closely, and have been thinking that there's no way that the numbers coming out of China are remotely accurate. Even countries lauded for how well they're managing, countries with <10x the number of cases as China, have been reporting new daily case counts higher than China.

Now, if the China numbers were accurate, there'd be no reason to order movie theater closures. If they're hiding the numbers, then closing the theaters makes perfect sense.

China's been lying out their ass all along.  As recently as 1/15 they were informing the rest of the world that it was not communicable from human-to-human, even though they were already in the midst of shutting major areas down as a result of the virus.
