He made long night shifts bearable.

I loved Art Bell. I still listen on Saturday nights on the Art Bell Somewhere in Time show. That really shows you how bad the new Coast to Caot radio can be. So bad they need to rebroadcast ancient radio shows. Michio Kaku is on the show fairly often. One of the rare times the show is any good.

After getting DNA samples from family members we all found out we we're Swiss so when I retire my plan is to travel there.

"One of the things you shouldn't do in Switzerland"
If you don’t believe the Holocaust actually happened, it’s best to keep that fact to yourself while in Switzerland. Though denial of the Holocaust itself isn’t technically illegal, denial of crimes against humanity is, and this includes genocide. Talk like that can land you in a Swiss prison, and Holocaust denial is generally seen as a conspiracy theory of an anti-Semitic nature, and is illegal in many other countries too.
Another is don't mow your lawn or do laundry and hang out you cloths on Sunday.

Which is giving rise to a fascinating new kind of job that only a human can do: robot babysitter.

The first companies to unleash robots into service sectors have been quietly opening call centers stocked with humans who monitor the machines and help them get out of jams. “It's something that's just starting to emerge, and it's not just robots,”
Who do robots call when they are in trouble?
