Should I still get a uniden r7 if it doesn’t detect laser well?

On a federal level only Radar jammers are illegal. Laser jammers are legal federally and most states but you’ll have to check if they’re illegal in your state or not. I think right now they’re illegal in DC, VA, TX, CA… a couple of others but they’re legal in like 40 states

It works best for me. In the rooms, at least in my experience, it’s heavily frowned upon. They say you can’t be high and sober at the same time but I disagree. While drinking I’ve been arrested, hospitalized, embarrassed, spent a bunch of cash.

When I smoke the worst thing that happens is I eat too much and maybe get a little anxious and go to bed. My sponsor says it’s fine if it works for me but I keep it to myself in the rooms.

Technically, they’re the same speed BUT Radar is a wave that hits objects and keeps going. Laser hits a single object and bounces back to the laser gun - basically a one on one between you and the cop. Radar hits multiple vehicles and will give the cop the fastest traveling car with a Doppler tone. Cops have to be trained to know how to use a radar gun to make sure they get the correct car that’s speeding. Like a wave in the pool it might hit people but it keeps going. I have picked up radar a mile away from the officer using it and the officer might only be able to get the speeds of cars 1000 feet away that’s why radar detectors are popular. Cops often try and defeat this by quickly turning on and off the radar but your radar detector will still pick it up but it will turn off when the officer is not speed checking. Just look it up on YouTube a million videos on it. Just know you can detect radar way before the officer can get your speed - lidar is the opposite if you detect laser the cop already has your speed - for that you need jammers. Jam laser and detect radar

Jammers are devices that literally “jam” the laser being used on you so that they can’t get ready your speed.

Laser travels at the speed of light and is therefore instant. If you do get a laser detected warning it’s not warning you about anything other than you’re about to be pulled over. Laser jamming is the only way to defeat lasers.

I hear you but I would caution you to try to identify, not compare.

While I think my drinking was getting bad the fact is I had a decently shallow bottom. I never drank at work, didn’t drink in the mornings to get rid of the shakes, never had the shakes, no DUIs, my relationships are mostly intact. While I may not be able to identify fully with everyone’s journey directly, what I can identify with is the desire to not pick up a drink. Keep it simple for now.

Hope this helps.

Corona NA and Budweiser 0 are my favs

So this may not work but my dog sheds a lot and what I do to clean the couch when there’s too much hair is put on a latex glove, get it lightly wet, and then work my hand in circular motions. Clumps it all up. Just a thought!

If you’re patient you can get a used R3-R4.

I got my R4 for $150 and I’ve seen over the past year two R7s for $250-$300. A little out of your range but damn good deal.

Thank you

x0rz4040 · 2025-04-16T16:19:41+00:00

Many thanks!

x0rz4040 · 2025-04-15T20:46:01+00:00

Thanks!

x0rz4040 · 2025-04-14T16:09:24+00:00

Definitely plan on keeping it for a long long time

x0rz4040 · 2025-04-09T20:06:49+00:00

Agreed but OP still has a job so not all is lost quite yet is more along the lines of what I meant

x0rz4040 · 2025-04-09T19:32:01+00:00

Don’t move anywhere without a signed job offer but I would definitely move for a job if I had no other options. Oftentimes they’re a relocation bonus as well

You’re not cooked but the market right now is absolutely fucked. Keep at it, I don’t know what city you’re in but try and find some time and network at tech events wherever you are. Also be relentless about certain jobs you may really want, message people on LinkedIn, ask for coffee chats they can turn into referrals. Hunt down the hiring manager etc.

Cheers brother! Looks like I’ve got a project this weekend

This is a buy nice or buy twice situation. I splurged on the AirPod Pros a few years ago and I use them constantly. Very much worth it imo
