Police thought that someone died in my apartment because it contained several dead animals. I epoxied my door shut so I could study for finals, but the police knocked my door down anyway. The university threw away all of my possessions, and now I want to sue for emotional distress and lost property.

I'm not quite sure /u/ponderexistence was actually in a university dorm. At the very least, there's more weirdness. He makes a post in /r/Plumbing last November (emphasis added):

How far can water be sucked/pumped? horizontal distance, not vertical

I posted this question at the physics sub and a commenter suggested I post it on a plumbing sub, thus here I am: I am trying install a pump to bring water from a lake into a 100 gallon water tank (possibly bigger tank in the future) at my off grid cabin. From what I have researched about pumps, they are supposed to be installed close to the water source, like not beyond a few hundred feet from the water. However, I am trying to install the pump near my cabin and not near the lake. The reason being I have my solar power setup at the cabin and would not like to install another setup at the lake which is around 1/2 mile away. Also, I can install an automatic detector/controller in the water tank that will turn the pump off as soon as the tank is full. I don't want to go about running wires back and forth through the wilderness. All I want to run from the pump to the lake is a clear flexible pvc pipe 1 inch in diameter (I will likely bury this pipe ~1 feet under the ground when I can get my hands on a trencher). There is not much of an elevation difference from the lake to the pump, so horizontal difference negligible. So the water source is 1/2 mile away, can a pump handle that distance? and what kind of pump should I use/purchase? preferably under $300. Thanks!

Then, in a comment thread:

Also is the EPA ok with you pulling water out of a lake? They tend to frown on such things.

I'm hoping any governmental agency does not find out, that's why I'm trying to either use transparent pipe or burying the pipe underground :/

Seriously? That's kind of fucked up. Not only are you putting yourself at risk by having no environmental data on what may be in the lake, but you also have no idea what you may be doing to the habitat of many animals. Why the hell not just dig your own well. Plus if you haven't got it yet, you will be in over 1000 bucks for sure to make something work that has pressure that is even workable.
