We need water to stay hydrated, but we can drink way too much, or drown.
We need oxygen to breathe, but too much is fatal.
We need blood to keep our body going, but too much blood can become a problem.
It's quite interesting.

Egypt has had malaria for millennia. King Tutankhamen died of malaria.
After a century-long public health effort, Egypt has just been declared malaria-free.

Esta mañana iba en bicicleta, por el centro del carril derecho en una vía de dos carriles, uno por sentido. En un semáforo, el coche que tenía detrás ha decidido usar un estrecho margen a mi izquierda para intentar ponerse en paralelo, cosa que no ha conseguido porque, como digo, yo estaba en medio del carril. Y, además, había vehículos que estaban detenidos y miraban en dirección contraria.
Circular en el centro del carril es clave para la seguridad porque eres más visible, te adelantan menos y se ralentiza el tráfico de la calle, mejorando la seguridad de terceros.
Pero el señor™ quería pasar. Y quería pasar tanto que primero me ha rozado, luego ha tocado la bici con el morro, y finalmente ha empezado a empujar. Tras un intercambio de palabras sin sentido que no llegó a la categoría de 'diálogo', el señor™ no me ha dejado otra opción: he metido una pedalada, poniéndome delante, he metido mi bici DEBAJO de su coche, y luego he llamado a la Policía Local.
El señor™ no podía echar para atrás porque había más vehículos detrás, que han empezado a acumularse. Varias peatonas que contemplaban la escena se han quedado a comer palomitas y, una vez ha venido la policía, han servido de testigos ante los eventos. No ha ayudado nada que el señor™ condujese sin seguro, el coche no tuviese la ITV pasada y tuviese varias multas sin abonar. Pleno. Tampoco ha ayudado que se haya enfrentado a la policía a voces y que luego se haya puesto a darle patadas a una papelera.
✅ Ha sumado una multa más, se le ha retirado el vehículo y no se ha ido esposado de purito milagro.
✅ Al menos durante unos días, quizá semanas, tendremos un energúmeno menos en nuestras calles.
Y esta es la política a partir de ahora, sin medias tintas, sin grises, sin mirar hacia otro lado. Hay gente a la que hay que sacar de la calzada porque es un peligro. PUNTO

Wow, it's great seeing more of the Internet Archive back in operation. I was so disgusted at what happened to them. This amazing library helped me to find electronic copies of out of print books that I've wanted to read for decades. These are books that I honestly never thought I'd be able to read, short of purchasing used copies of the books and spending hours of my time scanning them. I can't express enough my thanks for the hours of joy I've received from this service after finding books that I thought would always be inaccessible to me as a blind reader.
