Cyclist need to log virtually everything they consume (food, water, medications), on top of declaring their whereabouts and biological passports, in case they return a positive test. I'm not disagreeing with the "price of admission" for competing in the world tour shouldn't be high, but I can imagine it's stressful that something as simple as drinking water from a tap could, effectively, end your career.

Lizzy Banks goes into great detail about her experince with doping control and trying to overturn a positive result due to a contamination. It's a long read, but if you're a fan of the sport it's super interesting. https://lizzybanks.co.uk/

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Hummer from the early 2000’s is setup like this — 100mpg with bio-diesel. I think this is the original article I read about his car’s creator, Johnathan Goodwin, from years ago.

This was a great read! I've found triangulation so captivating, and I think it's because the word sounds like something made up from some James Bonds like movie.

I first learned about Delaunay Triangulation from a talk by a lead developer (James Anhalt, who is now at Frost Giant Studios) on Starcraft 2's pathing. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014514/AI-Navigation-It-s-Not The talk is on the older side now, but I still find it insightful. SC2 is over 12 years and its pathing is still considered the gold standard for RTS games. The SC2 Map editor will show the triangulation for a given map, which provided me a nice visualization when learning this topic. (in the map editor it's called "enable pathing mesh".)
