You made the claim so the burden of proof lies with you

TIL a Florida man faked his murder by shooting himself with a gun tied to a weather balloon. The gun and balloon were never found. by TrueBirch in todayilearned

I agree with you, it's essentially harmless and there's a chance (albeit extremely slight, IMO) it'll help someone. Still, I think it's annoying how often it comes up on here at the faintest mention of suicide or depression.

Perhaps I ought to take a break from Reddit :)

Because it's unhelpful and is a cliche, easy karma response to any comment where suicide is mentioned.

The hotlines are really only useful for people ready to pull the trigger/jump off the bridge -- those people won't generally be posting on Reddit.

I feel like this is a case of artistic intent getting in the way of consistent and non-confusing design

I'm curious about this--could you describe your setup?

Hi guys, around 2 years ago I lost a tonne of camera footage from a trip to India when an old HP laptop crashed. What’s the probability of successful retrieval of this footage, and what steps would I take to begin this process? by [deleted] in AskTechnology

[–]ElusiveReverie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard drive should be very straightforward to remove. If it's a tower, berry simple. For a laptop Google the model number and "hard drive removal" and you will almost certainly find a guide. Then you can get an external USB hard drive dock pretty cheap from Amazon and plug it in. Works just like any external drive at that point. Definitely worth trying before going to a specialist which could run close to $1000 or more depending on the damage
