A dandy-horse, or a velocipede.

The calf muscle pump performs the same task in humans.

Fascinating. I had to read up on this. Apparently it was Ritonavir and polymorphism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritonavir

The FT podcast series “Hot Money” season one explained a lot about this. Basically the payment card industry shapes what adult content is produced by governing the money flow. http…

Placing anti-personnel mines is also not very effective in a pitched conflict. The enemy will lose a few soldiers, but will then clear a marked path. The long term effects far outw…
