Graph showing efficiency of various animals, in calories per gram weight. Shows cycling is the most efficient transport.

52 years ago S.S. Wilson's article "Bicycle Technology" based on data from VA Tucker's article "Energetic cost of locomotion in animals" included this graph. Surprised it wasn't in this article. I wonder how much the numbers have changed since then.

Recently took 'The Deathtrap' out for a range test.

She was built with mostly scrap and around $200 of used electrics.

Petronas, a gas extraction company with a building that was the tallest in the world and an F1 team that won eight consecutive manufacturer championships, paid no tax.

It's finally getting noticed because of people like Pocock. Aust. gov has some work to do. It's easy to waste tax dollars when we're too complacent.

#Gaza: The U.S.-Israel plan to control the distribution of supplies under the guise of humanitarian assistance raises grave ethical, security and legal concerns.

A stacked bar chart showing the share of total government spending by category for a selection of OECD countries. The data is from 2022, the latest year available. The countries are Finland, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Greece, the UK, Chile, Australia, South Korea, and the US. The categories are Social protection, Health, Education, Economic affairs, Public services, Other (which includes public safety, environment, housing, and recreation/culture), and Defense. For some categories, such as public services, the share spent is fairly similar across countries: it ranges from a low of 9% in Japan to a high of 15% in the US and Finland. In other categories, such as social protection, the difference across countries is much larger: from a low of 21% in the US to a high of 44% in Finland.

What do governments spend money on?

The #TIME100 includes me this year, but I think of it as recognition of my colleagues at @who.int , who work day in, day out, in cities, villages and places of conflict, in pursuit of #HealthForAll.

I would like to thank my friend Larry Brilliant for the humbling tribute he wrote.
