All dentistry should be on Medicare and bulk billable. Come and fight me.
Discovered #Wandrer today and, you know what? The concept was a little revelation to me. I've lived in this neighbourhood for years now but still don't feel like I've seen much of it at all. Would have been cooler if it hadn't taken a gamified app to remind me. Anyway, I'm psyched to explore my own backyard!

Fascinating story, and not just the bit about more new miles than anyone else

Meet the man who rode more new roads than anyone else - Escape Collective

He eats out of dumpsters and left behind a condo full of bikes. In 2023, he rode more new miles than just about anyone.

"The average number of parcels that can be delivered per hour by cargo e-bike is ... an average of 10.1 packages per hour, as opposed to delivery vans, which can deliver 4.9 packages per hour."

"Adding insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and energy costs ... each delivery cost €0.10 with the cargo bike, €1.10 with a small diesel van and €1.05 with a small electric van."

Electric Cargo Bikes Are 2X Efficient & 10X Cheaper Than A Delivery Van, Study Finds - CleanTechnica

A recent study found that an electric cargo bike, specifically a Bullitt cargo bike, is twice as efficient and over ten times cheaper to operate than a van in urban areas.

Friendly reminder that if I paid you $1'000 *every day*, it would take you 2.74 years to become a millionaire. It would take you 2739 *years* to become a billionaire.

Meaning, if someone had started to give you $1000 in 715 BC (680 years before the Roman Empire even started), you would *now* have 1 billion dollars.

For comparison, Elon Musk's net worth is 251.3 billion dollars. Bezos' net worth is 168.4 billion dollars.

There are no good billionaires. They're all criminals and oppressors.

Monsters of the road: what should the UK do about SUVs?

They have higher emissions, hog roadspace and are more dangerous for other road users. Yet SUVs are selling better than ever. As calls for curbs increase, some people are taking matters into their own hands

A reminder that e-cars are about saving the motor industry, and not about saving the planet...
