Yes.

Guess you’ll have to leak secret military documents the old-fashioned way: posting them on the War Thunder forums.

I see 7 comments on one and 6 on the other. Are you seeing 0 or just fewer than you remember?

https://lemmy.world/post/15140002 (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/19871352 on your instance) perhaps? https://robbb.in/shady/ is one that works currently but the one I used to prefer (before it went down) was shadyurl.com.

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/16195568 Another possible post.

Throw on a Richard Nixon mask first, it’ll look more real than he ever did.

#1-5: Power-wash her uvula with OC spray. Can’t promise it’ll improve things but it’ll be hilarious.

I choose to imagine that these offenses result in developers cooling their heels in the slammer rather than a browser being a picky eater.

Could bring that up with the devs but it hasn’t been the early 2000s for a long time, nobody seems to care as long as it works.

No, it’s pretty atypical. There’s Walmart (as you mention) and a few others but more often, somebody stationed at an entrance/exit is security, a receipt checker (less common), or a cart-wrangler.

Sounds like you met one of our distressingly many entitled weirdos. Sorry about that.

From the manual:

Seems like a good place to start.

Auto(in)correct strikes again, presumably. Guessing that’s intended as “borescope” unless you’re using star signs to find studs (though many charlatans assure me this method works just fine).

If that detector is a recent purchase, might want to see if there’s any sort of manual included in the packaging or try looking up a brand name and model number. Most (if not all) that I’ve used have you start by holding the device to the wall to establish a baseline before doing a sweep across the area of interest. I usually try a few spots as the initial calibration point and also tap on the wall to listen for hollow/solid areas to see if the device readings are sane.

This stack exchange post has some useful tips as well. One specifically mentions touching the wall for grounding to reduce false positives, sounds like it could be related to what you’re seeing. There’s also a suggestion about adding layers of paper to decrease sensitivity so you’re filtering out the weak results that may be another source of false positives.

If in doubt, flip your breaker switch for that area and confirm with a plug-in tester before putting holes in stuff. It’s easier to turn that back on than to restart a human. As for anchoring, you might be fine with those little press-in plastic pieces but if your cat likes lasagna as much as some, might be worth checking out molly bolts or toggle bolts: they start with a bigger hole than the plastic bits but then expand on the other side of the drywall to spread out the applied forces. Over-engineering lets me down less often than just winging it.

Yes. There’s a comment above my reply that might help clarify why I’m talking about a bag or a package.

It’s a wishful thinking button. Have to hope that they miss.

Correct.

Same way as usual, pearl-clutchers latch onto it as a way to incite moral panic.

Fun idea but it’s not powerful enough to do anything meaningful.

Also, let’s say the police or ICE or your local chapter of Piss Boy LARPers are walking up on somebody carrying this thing around or with it in a backpack. What happens when you reach over to press the big red button on that package or at the end of a length of wire feeding into your bag? Pretty sure their first assumption won’t be EMP device.

You’d need one hell of an EMP to deflect a barrage of bullets.

Cool, I’ll download the plans for that and keep them in a folder next to the ones for perpetual motion machines.
