Water Bottle Fills Itself From the Air

mbstone writes "The Namib Desert Beetle generates water from water vapor via its shell, which has alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic bumps which channel water droplets into its mouth. Scientists at MIT developed a self-filling water bottle using this technology, and have announced a contest for the best design of a countertop water-from-air generator."

    Then he went on to say.
    As far as religion goes I respect that the government should force one person to shove their religion out of the way so that they can be compelled by the Federal government to pay for another persons pills and abortions.
    I am of course a fiscal conservative. Also my social beliefs skew more conservative than liberal.
    Personally think that abortion should something that is thought long and hard about. Not something that you do three times because "Condoms are inconvenient."
    But blanket laws against abortion should never happen. Government need to stay the fuck out as much as possible.
    OTOH. Government should never take money from one person to pay some other persons abortion. This is bad. If you want one I suggest you think hard. In the end though if you still want it, "Pay for it your fucking self."
    For this I say Fuck Obama. When the government takes my money so some fucking slut can use it to pay for her third abortion?
    Fuck him.
