It makes a lot of sense when you know that one of the early purchasers of this device was several police departments.

The ADE 651 "The device features a swiveling antenna attached to a plastic grip and requires charging by a user's static electricity. Users would insert "programmed substance detection cards" to supposedly detect specific substances, which were claimed to absorb the vapors of those substances. However, investigations revealed that the product was incapable of detecting anything, essentially being a dowsing rod. The ADE 651 was used primarily by Iraqi security forces for security checkpoints. Due to the false sense of security, many critics pointed to numerous incidents where bombings occurred despite the presence of the ADE 651 at security checkpoints, underscoring its ineffectiveness."

Sorry Colonel, I left the bomb smell card at base

The ADE 651 is a descendant of the Quadro Tracker Positive Molecular Locator produced in the 1990s by Wade Quattlebaum [NAME ALERT], an American car dealer, commercial diver and treasure hunter. The Quadro Tracker was promoted by Quattlebaum initially as a device to find lost golf balls, and later as a means of detecting marijuana, cocaine, heroin, gunpowder, and dynamite using "carbo-crystalised" software cards. Like the ADE 651, it consisted of a hand unit on which a swinging antenna was mounted, linked to a box worn on the belt in which the cards were inserted to identify the "molecular frequency" of whatever the user wanted to detect. The cards were "programmed" by photocopying a Polaroid photograph of the target, cutting up the resulting copy, and pasting the pieces between two squares of plastic. Quattlebaum sold the devices for between $395 and $8,000 for a unit claimed to be capable of detecting humans, using a Polaroid photograph of the individual concerned for the "programming." A cheaper variant called the Golfinder or Gopher was available for $69.

Nate Bethea once mentioned while he was deployed in Afghanistan his unit was trialing this equipment they said it could use sound to pinpoint the direction of gunshots. He said it was basically a boombox with a microphone strapped to it.

It's not looking good fam.

Sorry if I missed it but has anyone got anything about the claim that Israel assassinated Ahmadinejad?

Iran has a right to defend itself, maybe the Likud terrorist group should stop using human shields.

It's a strange feeling definitely, I'm just happy the people of the entity are feeling even a tiny fraction of the terror kids in Palestine have felt every day for two years.

How long do missiles take to hit the entity from Iran?

My big what if moment of history is of FDR did t die/didn't have to dump Henry Wallace.

khomeini say swear right now.

 

I use Hexbear on my phone mostly and almost every time I open it it will look like this. To fix it I have to reload it several times and if I click on anything it almost always starts doing it again. Wondering if anyone else has this issue and of there is a fix. Thanks in advance comrades.

 
 

I lost my cellphone a few days ago and don't wanna pay too much for another one. I'd like to keep it under $200. Thank you in advance comrades.

 

They have a book’s recommendation archive and one of them is Jordan Peterson lol
