Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it
"We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:
every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation
every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality
utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars
the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "
The psychology behind Australia’s love affair with big cars >>

FYI: #Edge 151.x (released July 30, 2026) #crashes on certain #Windows10 machines. So far, the only solution is to downgrade (which is a pain on W10 2016 LTSC in diagnostic devices); there have been a few confirmed cases so far.

When you examine accidents-per-mile driven for the illegal #robotic #deathtraps & compare their number of serious/ #fatal #crashes against the number occurring with #professional #drivers, the results are clear.
Illegal robotic deathtraps account for *1.5 times as many* serious or fatal #accidents as professional drivers.
And in #NYC with amazing #PublicTransportation already, these dangerous profit centers are a problem in search of a non-existent need.

I've been thinking this over and still believe it's important for license granting agencies to establish that drivers can read and understand road signs but I bet the uptick in wrong way crashes coincides with the uptick in the use of GPS systems. The first thing crash investigators should do is investigate whether gps was in use when a crash occurred. There should be loud audible warnings transmitted to drivers when they enter a highway the wrong way. #driving #crashes #safety

🥴 Ah, yes, the groundbreaking #innovation of translating Win32 to WASM, because what the web really needs is more #Minesweeper #crashes if you dare to win. 🚀 It's like taking your ancient desktop relics and giving them a shiny WASM coat, only to realize they still belong in a museum. 🪦

Biodiversity under the wheels
Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and other wildlife are forced to dwell in fragmented spaces having to cross many roads to go about their life. Mobility design is primarily for combustion machines to fly along their supply chains. The mobility needs of the un-motorised is not taken care of with the existing infrastructure.
"Tens of thousands of collisions with animals are recorded each year across Australia and the number appears to be rising. According to NRMA Insurance claims data, there was a 21% rise in animal collision claims from 2024-2025."
"Many large animals, including kangaroos, are most active at dusk and night, often moving to feed along roadside vegetation. Insurance data shows collisions are concentrated on regional and rural roads, where higher speeds, limited lighting and greater exposure to wildlife increase risk." >>

Daylight saving and circadian rhythms and killing wildlife on the roads
Crashing into the 'zone of wildlife'“[With] daylight saving, we start shifting our cars and our daily routine more into the zone of animals, their sunset, sunrise period … suddenly there are cars when all the dusk choruses are happening."
"Species that would be of obvious concern would be kangaroos and wallabies, that are often quite active both in the morning and in the afternoon around dusk, so any increased traffic around the time when they’re most active can create potential issues with road accidents,” Deakin University wildlife ecology and conservation professor Euan Ritchie says."
"Cars – with their lights and noise, and the danger they pose – can affect insects, birds and wildlife." >>

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.
If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

🚀 Wow, #Firefox #crashes because of #magical bitflips! 🔮 If only they could flip their priorities instead of bits. 😂 Meanwhile, #Mastodon suggests turning on #JavaScript as if that's the real issue here. 🙃

PFAS contamination sites and dead platypus
Mapping "hazardous concentrations" of PFAS plumes on NSW waterwaysA study "found alarmingly high levels of PFOS in the livers of eight dead platypuses, collected from waterways across NSW."
"…Due to the shape of the valley, groundwater from beneath the landfill "ultimately flows towards the Ourimbah Creek catchment”.
"When you look at some of the research that's coming through, clearly it's raw water, our waterways, that we also need to be concerned about because we know PFAS gets into wildlife."
"The research that I've seen, not just in platypus, but in some other species, is really frightening. If that isn't enough to get the government to act on looking at PFAS in waterways, not just drinking water, then I don't know what is."

Crashing Scribblenauts
A quick one today, busyman demonstrates six ways to crash Scribblenauts games. To remind: Scribblenauts is a game where you have a magic notebook that creates things you write in it, if you just know the word for it. It's one of a very small number of games that attempt to be exhaustive over some domain: if you know the word for it, then there's likely to be an object
