Your map is Terrible (obviously). It ignores the ~300,000 feral camels in Austrailia, which has a population of 28 million, giving 0.106 camels/person.

Reminded this morning of the time my friend had abdominal surgery.

Post-op, the surgeon came to his bedside and said the surgery had been tricky but a success, they key thing now being rest.

Then she leaned in and whispered into my friend's ear, "If you mess up my work, I will fucking end you."

I realise that Monet was not keen on naming his paintings, but it would be good if the alt-text included the names they are known as. Such as, in this case, "Woman with a parasol, facing right"

Machine With Concrete Arthur Ganson is a kinetic sculptor who builds β€œRube Goldberg machines with existential themes”. One of his works is called Machine with Concrete, which demonstrates the magic of gear ratios According to a piece in Ma

Machine With Concrete. In a series of 12 gears, the 1st spins at 200 rpm, the last spins once every 2 trillion years. β€œEven embedding the final gear in concrete doesn’t make any difference to the machine’s operation.” [kottke.org]
