  • When stuff like this happens, I always wonder what lead up to the situation that made the police think that tasering a person in a high risk situation is an appropriate use of force.

    The title if the article talks about an ambulance but I don’t really see it mentioned in the article.

    Also, another question, the guy who’s car hit the kid when the police deployed their taser in a reckless manner, does they count as a victim as well, I mean you’d expect that killing a kid with you car will give you some PTSD in any normal person, not to mention having to get your car repaired is not cheap, and since the accident was in general caused by the police acting recklessly, one would argue that the police should pay.

    On the other hand, if the kid was fleeing the police it could be argued that if he hadn’t, the tasering would not have happened, so is the kid’s family responsible?

    I am just interested in the logistics…

    What happens to the people involved?


  • Based on your question, I will assume that you are inexperienced with computer hardware and advanced tools for rescuing data.

    So let me be blunt, this a summary of what you should do:

    1. Stop using the drive
    2. Unplug the drive
    3. Put the drive in a warm dry place
    4. Assume that water has got into the drive
    5. Give it time to dry completely
    6. Start saving money, you’ll need it…
    7. Start looking at data recover companies
    8. Read reviews and check prices

    There are tools you can use at home, but unless you have some understanding of the risks and have internalized them, you should not try them on this drive.

    What you can do if you have a spare computer and spare external drive that you can test with is to experiment with that and learn how data recovery might work, unfortunately you probably won’t be able to exactly recreate a scenario as you are experiencing with the other drive, but it might be a decent learning experience.




  • That works great when there is moisture in the air, whwn there is moisture in the air, there is usually a better way of collecting it for less energy.

    You posted a solar still, a device which uses solar energy to distil water, an excellent solution to get water while on a desert island.

    It won’t nearly as well in dry climates

    Also, “zero energy use”?

    Are you high?

    Sunlight is still energy, it absolutely uses energy.


    Finally, the is a new adaption of an old tech that has been proven to not work as advertised time and time again, it is on the creators of the new tech to prove that it works, I don’t have to disprove this at all, that has been done time and time again.



  • From the first paragraph of the article:

    Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water.

    In the dry dessert the amount if water in the air is so minuscule that it just doesn’t doesn’t make any sense to do this.

    Regarding the “clean” claim, you would get all the crap from the air in your water, also to preserve the water you would need to keep it chilled after boiling it, else you get sick, badly sick.
