Etienne Note: Even a blind pig can find a truffle. Very interesting interactive article explaining why and how more pedestrians are killed by larger vehicles on the road. Good lessons for pedestrians. The Times did not cover how many more passengers might have been saved by being in larger, presumably safer vehicles during vehicle-on-vehicle crashes.

For decades, American roads were steadily getting safer for pedestrians. But around 2009, the trend reversed. Since then, the number of pedestrians killed each year has risen by about 75 percent.

The Public Downside to You Living Longer
Parkinson’s, Longevity and More
The Social Security Administration recently gave us their annual report with a few blockbuster footnotes. We all know that Social Security as it is currently constructed will run out of money in the early 2030s. Social Security’s cost has exceeded its non-interest income since 2010. Since then, payments have been made out of the so-called trust fund. Except the trust fund does not hold cash. The money was borrowed by the rest of the federal government to cover other spending, and the government now owes it back.
World-first ‘super alloy’ is 2x as strong as steel
Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process.
by Abhimanyu Ghoshal - New Atlas
Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process. Researchers in Australia recently found that a radically different approach could yield even better alloys with a lot less heat.
Engineers at Monash University have created the first ever large piece of Refractory High-Entropy Alloy (RHEA). This alloy is not only twice as strong as steel with a compressive yield strength of more than 2 gigapascals, but it’s also the result of a method that uses lower temperatures, and that could be easier and cheaper to scale.

Independent testing of 51 popular toothpaste brands revealed 90% contained lead, 65% arsenic, 47% mercury and 35% cadmium. Only six toothpastes tested clean. Heavy metals enter toothpaste through contaminated raw materials like hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate and bentonite clay used in manufacturing.
