So, if the photo/story has any truth to it.

There's a large number of people standing on the streets protesting the build up of everything they threw out while they collect food and water from aid shipments…

Instead of just saying, we're all standing here with nothing to do we could maybe clean and organize some of this until they can deal with it?

I don't expect miracles but I feel like if you've got time to protest you can pick vacant lots/areas and carry the trash there. Keep the streets clean and infestation down.

We had a tornado here a few years back at nearly 10pm. An hour later literally every able bodied individual was out with saws, trailers, wagons, carts, food, water, knocking on doors, checking on everyone and organizing the mess for cleanup.

People didn't just sit around with signs saying "when's the help coming."

multiple universities up to 30 years ago

We can make 30 liters of pure water with the fresnel lense from a junk projection TV just by putting two of them over a water tank…

MIT now

We designed a severely complicated ten stage solar collector despite our 20 previous publications about massively simple and cheap methods of doing the same thing that we said each time was revolutionary in water production/collection.

Congratulations MIT. Can we just build some of these instead of finding/funding more?

As someone with family in a care home this is depressing but not for the reason this article is pushing for.

Family member with mental issues becomes so violent/disruptive/unmanageable they need police called on a regular basis.

Let's put them in a care home with 20+ others the same way.

One/two months later

Why is this family member we never once visited having issues and how long has it been this way

Care is an issue but how are you not taking 5 minutes to see your own family. Ouch.

Winter is upon us. Rubber and plastics get stiff and need to be handled carefully depending on weather.

Customers will break the air pumps basically daily by yanking/flinging the hoses around and then come in to bitch the free air pump isn't working.

What was the amber alert supposed to say? If you see a 5 year old, call us?

Then they find the body right near home so they never even left to start with so the alert wouldn't help.

Because you forgot that Target, Big Lots, Dick's, Meijer, Amazon, and literally several hundred chains of sporting or general stores exist?

Definitely not anywhere close to being limited to Walmart.

Wow, amazing.

Apple innovating to the level of my 12 year old Samsung television.

Maybe they can continue innovating by removing 90% of the features just like Samsung did!

Maybe next they can add offline speech recognition like we had in 1997.

It's called a a skinny snake or instrument snake and comes up easily on Google when you include sizes. Lots of choices.

Just use a snake?

You’d better learn to imagine better.

There’s an entire documentary on an 18 horsepower compressed air car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds.

Normal cars use very little horsepower to maintain speed. Welding tanks hold extreme amounts of pressure.

A miracle, an engineering degree, and a lot of money?

You’d be much better off looking into the hundreds (thousands?) of interesting tweaks? that have been done to vehicles as experiments to make them more efficient.

Adding all the latest innovation to an engine. Adding a full rear axel with an electric motor and a simple “push while driving” setup. Swapping the motor for a much smaller motor and storing unused horsepower with compressed air and welding tanks. A small turbine motor powering electric drive like a train…

There’s to many ways to make a vehicle massively efficient to even begin going over it here.

Years ago they said that the screen lense from discarded projection TVs could boil/desalinate water with nothing but sunlight and discarded junk. They could literally create entire desalination plants with nothing but junkyard scrap. They never did anything with that.

I think all these “desalination” projects are nothing but worthless attempts to get free money for research
