The Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) could be safer
By Hicbd
"That’s why Michel, who lost his daughter on the PCH, started a petition for safety improvements to turn this highway into a symbol of joy, not sorrow. Urging CalTrans to reduce speed limits, implement quick-build traffic calming measures, and devise a comprehensive plan, Michel seeks support in making the Pacific Coast Highway safer."

"Advances in quantum computing are bringing us closer to a world where new types of computers may solve problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers millions of years. Today's transistor-based computers have their limitations, but quantum computers could give us answers to problems in physics, chemistry, engineering and medicine that currently seem impossible."

Painter tape could entertain children during travel
By Hicbd
"Another avid traveler says she uses painter’s tape to create stickers and a play mat on the tray table of airplanes and to tape over outlets and any dangling items in hotel rooms. 'This is your babyproofing workhorse,' she gushed as she held up a thick roll of blue painter’s tape."

The FDA (or independent private organizations) could test drug safety
By Hicbd
"The FDA doesn’t regularly test either ingredients or the finished products. During inspections, it primarily checks to see how well companies follow manufacturing procedures rather than conduct its own sampling. When the regulator does find problems, it typically relies on the company to voluntarily take action to address the root cause...All of this helps to explain why independent testing, and Victor Suarez’s collaboration with Valisure at the Department of Defense in particular, touched off such an intense bureaucratic struggle this year."

U.S. organ transplantation supply logistics / guidelines for use / suppliers could be better
By Hicbd
"Faulty logistics, lack of proper care, and inefficient software often prevent organs from reaching those who need them, resulting in unnecessary deaths. Better organizing and matching processes are urgently needed. Only 2% of deaths occur in circumstances suitable for organ donation, making it even more crucial to address the issues in the current system and maximize its potential."

Rocking / inclines / vibrations / non-breathable sides could be unsafe in baby bassinets
By Hicbd
"In May 2022, the Safe Sleep for Babies Act was signed into law, banning bumper pads and inclined sleepers — two products that have been associated with dozens of infant deaths — from being manufactured and sold in the U.S. It can also be extremely dangerous for babies to sleep in other devices, including bouncers, swings and rockers. In June 2022, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPS) warned parents not to let their babies sleep in rockers, citing at least 13 infant deaths."
