  • The important thing is not to complete the circuit near a battery, since it can cause sparks which can ignite the flammable vapors that batteries tend to emit when discharging. This is especially important near the dead battery, which has potentially been discharging quite a lot recently.

    So the usual sequence is:

    1. Dead positive
    2. Live positive
    3. Live negative
    4. Dead ground (to the metal chassis, ideally not right next to the battery)

    I usually start by clipping the dead negative cable to something non-conductive to keep it out of the way and then move it to ground as the last step.













  • From what I can tell from the article, it’s not clear what the guy was selling. Maybe it was the claimed drugs, maybe it was water, but he had no idea and he was not only unaware, but also was making claims (“highest quality” and "made in the US’) that were patently false.

    So he wasn’t so much “providing a path to medicines” as he was fraudulently making the claim he was doing so while putting all his customers at risk of harm.



  • I believe that’s his stated reason (as noted in the text you quoted) for recusing himself and his entire office, no? Do you think that’s an inappropriate response to a clear conflict of interest?

    Or were you referring to the previous situation, where a sitting judge and prosecutor were related? That seems like a valid point, though perhaps it’s easier to remain impartial in that case.
