Is there a Shyamalan emote? He must have built up static from not having been in contact with the trailer frame while rubbing against plastic whatever those rolls are?

Even if there was static, what ignited? I can't imagine any regular plastic product shooting up flames like that. There must have been something left/leftover in the truck, or that was some real funky plastic.

"The porter in Guangdong province was transporting bundles of cotton yarn wrapped in plastic bags when he stepped on the metal floor of the lorry, discharging the built up static electricity and igniting the yarn into a ball of flames" per Daily Mail (I googled for 'truck roll ignites static charge' and this was the first hit) so the floor would have been covered in cotton dust

Apparently without adequate ventilation the cotton bales create a dust that will ignite readily on contact with flame. And said dust also floats through the air and can be kicked up by things like loading the bales. So you'd run into a situation where your workers would start a fire by unloading the bales in lamp light. Cotton is insanely flammable.

I remember a teacher having these in grade school.  We would always sniff them every time we were called to write on the whiteboard. Got to get us hooked on huffing solvents while we're young, I guess.

And hay if it's bailed and stacked before fully dry. A problem in England as I'm sure you can imaging.

I'm sure this is coincidental (more water usually equals less fire though), but in Hunstville, AL, much of the cotton moved through town was wrapped in paper and floated down a canalized creek. At junctions, men would be posted with poles to help the bales on their way. Reverse pole-rafting. Most of the creek is now flood-control, but remnants of the old system survive in the park downtown.

That is pretty hilarious, considering they really only needed a screwdriver and maybe 2 good whacks with a hammer to accomplish that goal vs the amount of effort needed to do that. Points for being thorough, I guess.

That's understandable. I've heard from multiple sources over the years that drilling a hole through the hard drive is the best way to make it unrecoverable. Now, imagine if you had heard that, but had no idea where the hard drive was located or what it looked like and also you were an idiot.

When I was still doing nondestructive testing, my preferred method of data destruction was to pop the hard drive in one of these bad boys (at the bottom of the 5-turn coil), turn the amperage up to max (~6,000 amps), and set it to demagnetize on a DC step-down. KSHUNK KSHUNK KSHUNK KSHUNK KSHUNK kshunk kshunk Insanely overkill, but satisfying and definitely worked lol Son of Thunderbeast fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Sep 30, 2019 |

If I want to get rid of a hard drive I just give it to the redneck guy at work who strips the magnesium from them to make (probably illegal) fireworks.

I used to work someplace where the protocol was to expose the drive to a strong magnetic field, then shred it and incinerate the shreds. Always thought that was a tiny bit overkill.

But if I simply smash my hard drive instead of throwing it into a volcano, what is to stop CIA agents taking it to a secret government cyber warfare laboratory, conducting a painstaking data forensics operation, and ultimately expending millions of dollars and hundreds of man hours on a top secret project to look at my hentai collection?

When I worked for my uni my very professional and well documented process was to take hard drives down the loading dock where our maintenance head had his office, and split them 50/50. We'd then spend a half hour competing over who could come up with the most elaborate way to destroy them using his tools. It amazes me how many official sources back in the day suggested acid as a valid means of HDD destruction. Turns out when you submerge a drive in muriatic, it lets off quite a bit of fumes you really don't want to breath.

They can recover data from pieces of the shattered hard disks. Your only option is to launch it into the sun. Of course no one is going to spend that much money on ultra specialized techniques to steal your meme archive.

Like the CIA doesn't already have all hentai ever made catalogued in Area 69.

Everyone destroying hard drives: please take the rare earth magnets out of them first. No particular reason, they're just cool to have around and play with. Don't pinch yourself with them, you might lose fingat
