  • Both the velomobile and the electric bicycle increase the limited range of the cyclist – the former optimises aerodynamics and ergonomics, while the latter assists muscle power with an electric motor fuelled by a battery.

    The electric velomobile combines both approaches, and so maximises the range of the cyclist – so much so that it is able to replace most, if not all, automobile trips.

    Why aren’t we all driving around in these things?

    2 years ago, in a hot summer, i had a fly stay the whole day with me. When i noticed, i first shushed it away and it kept landing on the same spot. Since it wasn’t really bothering me, i kept the fly in my view and it was absolutely always landing and staying very close to me, but never touched me.

    It followed me through the whole house, wherever, bathroom, kitchen living room - it was always just a few inches away from me.

    I even started to be careful, not to sit on it … Like this would ever happen, as fast as they are.

    Anyway, it was strange and wholesome at the same time. Was gone the next day, i really missed the little fella.

    Edit: though, they live longer, or? Afaik, the flies that only live 24 hours are mayflies.

    I’m sure my fly was a common house fly. Must have gotten bored with me, after a day.

    Edit 2:

    Must have gotten bored with me, after a day i took a shower.

    TheSlad, thanks for reminding me











  • Your stomach ain’t ready for it yet. Vomiting forces the usual flow of what you’ve taken in to flow to the reverse direction and dragging things, like the acids in your stomach, with it.

    It’s quite a shock for the body. Depending on the severity of the vomiting, it can take a little, until it’s ready to ‘take in’ again.

    IANAD this is just what i experienced myself with vomiting in the past and what my brain made out of it.
