Idk...they were still doing this shit plenty pre-pandemic. Disney is notorious for it and it has bothered me to no end. I refuse to watch any of their continual releases of abominations of older great films.
When Lemmy apps first started gaining traction, I tried a bunch out. The other one I used the most was Jerboa...I think it was the first one. It worked fine initially but then got buggy as fuck and almost unusable at one point in time. Hopped around several apps and a lot of them were also buggy (but slightly less so than Jerboa), missing features, or visually far too busy or unappealing.
Been using Voyager (originally wefwef) since and I've love it. Simple, aesthetic viewing combined with fantastic functionality and essentially zero bugs. I'm sticking with it.
My older brother lives with 2 other people. One is his boyfriend and then there is another adult. All 3 have full time jobs. My brother has a very good job and the others don't make nearly as much but have stable employment. They have pets, but no children.
Somehow they are literally always in massive debt and never have any money. I just don't understand what in the world they spend money on to get to that point.
My younger brother has a job that is better than my older brother, but he's still not making anywhere near a doctor's salary or anything. My younger brother supports a stay at home wife and two children. And they manage to NOT be in crazy debt like that.
My older brother's financial situation has just always baffled me.
I love the Mariah Carey Christmas memes, but tbh it's one of the only Christmas songs I actually like lol! I don't really seem to get tired of it, but I don't listen to a ton of Christmas music in general. Just an occasional one during the season is all. Don't hate me for it!!
Lmao so I worked at a Dollar Tree for a few months before. Shit was wild. You were expected to check out customers, stock shelves, and put away "go backs" (items that customers didn't want) on the shelves all concurrently. Because there was never anyone working in the store bahaha
I honestly did not realize Walmart ever had greeters. They've always had someone at the entrance/exit. But they just check my receipt to make sure I didn't shoplift. I didn't realize anyone acted as greeters there. Is it the same people checking your receipt for shoplifting or no?
Also, in case OP wants to know...most stores do NOT have receipt-checkers at the exit, either. It's just that Walmart does because it's a store that is prone to shoplifting.
I'm confused. How could there possibly be no wires or pipes in between the shared walls?
I guess I could see how you could get away with it in terms of pipes, but wires? If you couldn't put wires in shared walls, then like 80% of the wall space on your average townhome couldn't have an outlet. I have plenty of outlets on my shared walls. Pretty sure one of my shared walls has plumbing too because that's where I had a water leak. Quite frankly there is hardly any additional wall space left for an outlet if the shared walls couldn't be used for outlets and switches.
It gives very inconsistent readings around the wiring in this wall so it's difficult for me to determine this sort of thing. I get the manual is just like "try again from further away", but it still doesn't make it any easier to figure out where the wires actually are because of the inconsistency.
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.
Yeah I mean the stud detection part isn't the issue. That works just fine. It's the wire thing that has me uneasy. My model works the same as most...hold it against the wall to calibrate and then slowly sweep.
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.
So I was reading some things about this online which is why I tried the hand thing. The thing is that the manual states for me to NOT put my hand on the surface being scanned. While it makes the warning go away, I'm wondering if it now makes it a false negative.
Unfortunately, there’s not enough info to help without risk of mistake. Do you live in a single home structure or shared(condo, apartment, duplex, etc.)? What’s the age of the structure? Is your breaker panel on either side of the wall you’re working on? Is it an exterior or interior wall?
I live in a townhouse build in 1998, so many shared walls. The breaker panel is an entirely different area of the home. These are interior walls.
When you say stud/wire detector, what do you actually own? There’s no device I know of that combines voltage detection with a stud finder, so I’m guessing your device is a stud finder marketed to also find other buried elements.
I have this model. Sorry. It detects AC wires, not voltage, per se. It is a Zircon HD55.
EDIT Update to my update lol: So the dizziness started coming back again a bit this evening. I think that what triggers it is too much movement combined with being a bit tired/dehydrated/lower blood sugar. So I have to be kind of a sloth and eat a lot. Uhh well ok I guess lol hopefully I don't gain too much weight. :pp
Hey all! Not sure if you wanted an update or not lol.
So I was in the absolute height of it on Sunday evening onto Monday morning. It was fucking terrible and made me feel so bad/disoriented. But it has been pretty rapidly going away since and I feel like I'm nearly back to normal now! So it took a while to peak, but then after that it seemed to drop off relatively quickly.
So in total this lasted approx 5 days, with the most uncomfortable part lasting around 1-1.5 days. I know everyone's experience is different, but I'm just leaving it here if anyone wants to know what sort of thing they can possibly expect. YMMV obviously!
It's unwise to jump headfirst into a body of water unless you know what lies below. Start slow.
You talk about influencer stuff. I get that being an influencer doesn't seem to be your sole desire, but I'll use it as an example anyway. All of the YouTubers I follow didn't start big. They did YouTube as a part time thing while still holding their main job. It was only to the point where they started really succeeding at YouTube that they dropped their original career.
I say go for it, but start small. Don't quit your job for this until you start doing really well in it.
