"But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant —society collectively, over the separate individuals who compose it—its means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself." - John Stuart Mills

"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.

*chuckle* Just checking through a Rust crate for preliminary file accessibility checks that I want to do as a CLI argument validation step.

The UNIX/POSIX version is just an API wrapper around faccessat().

WinAPI makes doing the same thing so verbose and complicated that the author felt a code comment was necessary that says "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn".

The Lordstown electric pickup looks like it has potential but, they're marketing it as a commercial pickup while pricing it as a luxury pickup. It could work as a luxury pickup but they haven't released anything about it's interior!
