$1 Trillion Later, #US. #Roads Are Still Crumbling, #Unsafe, and Congested. Does #Congress Care?

The danger of @cliffle's "Learn Rust the Dangerous Way" is not exposing new programmers to unsafe code, it's exposing experienced programmers to *safe* code.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious +9001%

• #Cars from the #USA are so horribly #phat, #unsafe and #inefficjent that noone wants to buy them!

(The only exceptions are nieche cases and statistically nonexistent!)

• #EU #FoodSafety standards ban so many #addivites and #treatments becaise they make food evidently unhealthy and worse (i.e. washing eggs, artificial food colouring and aroma)...

Given #Protectionism like the #ChickenTax #Tarriffs on actually reasonably sized #MiniTrucks the #US has no right to complain.

• If they actually made good cars, people would actually want to buy them.

Sadly, the last good car from the USA (that isn't a road-legal Dragstrip Suicide Machine or 4x4 Solid Axle Outdoor Toy) was the #Ford #CVPI / #P71 & #P72a models that got axed in 2012.

Karen #Silkwood's sudden death unpacked in ABC documentary

The four-part podcast unearths never-before-heard audio tapes.

ByDoc Louallen
November 14, 2024

"Fifty years ago, the death of a 28-year-old #plutonium plant worker and whistleblower in Oklahoma -- a death many found mysterious and sparked decades of speculation -- shocked the nation.

"The official story was that Karen Silkwood died in a one-car crash on Nov. 13, 1974. She was on her way to meet a New York Times journalist, reportedly to hand over documents she'd secretly been collecting at her job at a #NuclearFacility. The Oklahoma State Highway Patrol concluded that Silkwood fell asleep at the wheel -- possibly under the influence of prescribed drugs --- drove off the highway, crashed into a ditch, and died.

"'We’ve never believed it,' Mike Boettcher said of the official narrative. Boettcher and his reporting partner Bob Sands, both veteran Oklahoma journalists, say many in Oklahoma speculate that Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew.

"Silkwood's story has become widely known, inspiring several books, articles, and a major motion picture.
Silkwood worked at a nuclear fuel production plant that manufactured #plutonium fuel rods to power a new type of nuclear reactor, which was part of a multi-million dollar experiment to enhance #nuclear energy. When she noticed what she felt were #unsafe working conditions -- such as leaks, spills and co-workers frequently getting #contaminated with #RadioactiveMaterial -- she spoke up and tried to make improvements.

"'Karen became nuclear energy's first #whistleblower, though the term whistleblower was just starting to be used,' Boettcher said. 'This was at a time when the idea of someone inside of a big corporation exposing alleged misdeeds was shocking.'

"Silkwood's allegations, contamination, and untimely death sparked an investigation by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, an FBI inquiry, a civil lawsuit, several appeals, a congressional hearing and two appearances before the U.S. Supreme Court."

"[T]he extra heft of the very heaviest US cars does make their occupants marginally safer, but every life saved corresponds with more than a dozen lost among those inside smaller vehicles that collide with the larger ones. People on foot are at even greater risk."

"The Onion described a 'conscientious SUV shopper' who 'just wanted something that would kill the family in the other car if she got into an accident.'"

An easy way to find out how your city handles homelessness is to walk into a local shelter on a cold night. Look around. Say hello. Get a feel for the place. If you wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping there, why would anyone else want to?

some more #rustlang late night pasta cookery.

trying to do this without macros (or an #unsafe pointer cast? ) is proving difficult. dynamic dispatch requires me to pass references, trouble is of course i can't pass a reference to a local outside of the function.

so i retraced some more old steps and i came up with this concoction, where nesting and collecting widgets is achieved via #closure
