Agreed, though I would expect one to not be carrying anything that could be affected by such a device, whilst deploying said devices. So personal devices don’t count as needing protection AFAIC

Need to figure out a small scale, cheap, EMP device that can be set off to fry the cameras and sensors, but nothing else that is around.

Am American and white. Was complaining about racism in this country to my Chinese boss. He responded, “what racism? You American. You don’t know racism. You have racism here as a hobby. Go to China we show you real racism.”

I still don’t know how to respond to that, and that was 15-16 years ago.

Activism fatigue is getting old. My friends in their 60s to 80s don’t show to as many protests anymore. My dead friends show to even fewer.

That was the biggest thing I liked about my SAABs. No matter what color they were, no other car in the lot looked like that.

I know it’s been a thing for decades, but even in the '80s I could still walk on a lot and find yellow, green, orange and purple cars. These days it seems those are all special order.

No business does anymore. I maintain that’s why all the cars are the same 4-6 colors these days. Black, white, grey, and silver aren’t offensive to the corporations that buy fleets. Blue and red have to be there so they can do “patriotic” displays.

Oh, and I’m really quite sorry to all of you that hadn’t noticed that all the cars are the same colors these days. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

What you are probably thinking of is actually called a pillory. Stocks attached to your ankles, not the neck and wrists. I suppose they still allowed for the chucking of spoiled produce and eggs.
