I lied I'm really looking for joists. Stud finder is inconclusive. Strong magnets sticks to everything; pretty sure it's plaster with metal lath. Weaker magnets sort of work. I'm going to get so swole looking at gymnastic rings hanging from my ceiling.

Tap the ceiling with your knuckle and listen to the sound, you should be able to tell where it’s more/less dense and find the center.

Hopefully you don’t have an upstairs neighbor though, if you knock 3 times they may think you want them.

I thought I had a broken stud finder from the Home Depot and was real pissed off. All it did was beep. But I realized it wasn't pointing at the wall, I had it turned around, whoops.

Good idea. It's kind of subtle so this is going to take me more than 3 times. SORRY BIRDS I DON'T WANT TO gently caress YOU!

Hanging up gymnastic rings using something mounted to the ceiling and how to get over ones fear of cramming dicks to your mouth.

Okay well your best bet is to just start nailing poo poo into the ceiling and then testing the weight. First dick may be tough but after 6th or 7th you'll get over it

Nice video demo of a Flir One thermal camera in use here, works wonderfully:

Costs about $200 and plugs into an iPhone or Android phone. Could also be used for other things besides stud finding.

I have an old school cheap but name brand studfinder and it is poo poo. Whatever you buy, check out its reviews first.

I have a flir of some sort but I don't know where it is, and I've been told it wasn't working the last time. So I of course ordered a new thermal camera, a Topdon TC04 for $260.10.

I'd bloody love to get one of those, the dream is to use it and immediately find a box full of money that someone's stashed inside the walls.

What I suspect it will end up being though, as a resident of London, is an absolute poo poo-ton of rat skeletons.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
an idea for a website called studfinder where you can find studfinders (tools), gay studs and straight studs.
