  • You can clearly see in the video that visibility was not that bad. The video was shot from most likely a screen side camera and not the main camera so it’s not like there was a ton it could do to upscale the quality. Even the cops perspective it was mid day at best and shows they were fishing for sure.

    As for folks arguing against this it’s just apologists grasping at straws to justify why this man was pulled over on flimsy at best reasons. It started simply so a cop (and then multiple cops) could stroke their authority egos.

    Even if the initial cop that pulled him over was coming from a legit placed of concern he clearly couldn’t keep his boy with the wild fists under control so he’s just as culpable. Not one of those officers reacted to officer fisticuffs and that’s simply not okay.

    Some folks can’t seem to grasp the concept that shitty or incompetent people can wind up in a place of authority and that these officers can’t be placed upon a pedestal simply due to their position. Actions speak louder than words. Period.





  • Just keep in mind this only works if the humidity where you live is on the lower side. If you deal with high humidity where you live you won’t experience nearly as much cooling from those wet curtains or the old wet towel over a box fan trick.

    The towel on your head still works though because it’s on a much smaller scale unless you’re dealing with near 100% relative humidity. Double that with a fan of some type and you’re in business.



  • As another person stated, that’s an evaporative cooler or “swamp” cooler.

    AC works by “moving” heat energy from one place to another by way of the refrigeration cycle. This helps you feel comfortable by both cooling the air and also as a byproduct it removes humidity from it. If you want a nice long video on how that works just search “technology connections air conditioning” on YouTube and enjoy. Very informative.



  • The main problem with swamp coolers is they don’t work very well or at all in high humidity climates due to the way in which they cool air. I’m from East Coast US and it gets pretty damn humid in the summer, which is honestly worse than the heat some days. AC is honestly the best solution if dealing with heat and humidity because it combats both issues even if it can’t fully cool a space.

    Dryer climates though? Wet towel over a box fan all the way baby!
