Technical Difficulties

It's Illegal To Feed The Homeless In Florida

speechless says...

Wouldn't it be better, and safer for everyone, if we could just build some sort of "place" for these homeless people to live? Provide them with the basic needs of life like food, clothing and shelter. A cot to sleep on. A yard to exercise in. A place where they could make friends and network with other desperate people?

Hell, maybe we can even put them to work! One man's "slave labor" is another man's "productive member of society", after all.

Granted, some of these people are dangerous! When you hit rock bottom and have nothing left to lose, that can turn a man into an animal. So maybe we should surround the place with barbed wire and electric fences. And guard towers, just in case.

Maybe put bars on the windows and doors?

I'm just spitballing ideas here.

Electric fence experiment ends as expected

direpickle says...

An electric fence isn't a whole lot, but that's a good way to kill yourself. You're forcing the current to travel from one arm to the other through your chest. Can mess with your heart that way.

>> ^Archanon:

Don't listen to that elbow or back of the hand crap. Even though most if not all electric fences are DC, they pulse the current so you would never have a clench response. Instead, pick up a blade of grass and touch it with that. The grass acts as a resistor and lowers the current you receive. He did earn a few Darwin points however for standing in a mud-puddle and touching something electric. He should go hug an electrical engineer for sparing his life.


Real men piss on them.

Tip:
use the backside of the hand to touch a prospectfully charged electric wire.
If the electricity causes your hand to tense up, you'll be glad it doesn't close up, grabbing an electric wire.

The worst that can happen is you punch yourself in the face.

Yeah, it's called general advice for touching something that may be electrified. You go ahead and use your blade of grass.

As soon as you let go, the discomfort goes away. It doesn't linger unless you got shocked withe enough amperage for a skin burn, which is unlikely with an electric fence. He's still holding his hand as if it still hurts.
