This Olympics is the worst Olympics because of the bad refereeing. The referees who made the wrong call should study again. Damn it! Shame on them!

In 1948, Swiss pharmacologist Peter Witt studied the effect of drugs on spiders. He conducted an experiment in which he dosed the spiders by feeding them drugged flies or by giving them a drop of a drug in water. He then photographed their webs before and after the drugs were administered. These were the results.
In 1957, researchers noted that spiders on low doses of LSD were "unaware of outside influences and concentrated on the job." Their webs showed consistent regularity. On depressants, "they 'forgot' to finish what they had started and the result was a very ineffective food gathering device."
Richard Feynman was a brilliant physicist best known for his exceptional contributions to quantum mechanics and his captivating teaching style, among others.
Here are all of Feynman's Freely available Lectures at one place.

Is it o.k for middle-aged men to obsess about cyclists doing things that should be frowned on, but are harmless, when Range Rovers are ploughing through schools in Wimbledon and drivers kill 600 pedestrians and cyclists a year with their cars and 40,000 with their smog?

“Electric cars are popular with politicians because they offer an excuse to avoid doing harder things, like rebuilding cities or changing lifelong habits.
Persuading people to switch a gas car for a Tesla is much easier than persuading them they can live without one.” @dlknowles
