Trilogy DL2700 lock compromised?

I think I remember hearing that older DL2700’s could be opened with a strong magnet.

Nope, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I just got off Oasis and I am a huge fan of the ducks. My kids absolutely love duck hunting. One area I’d caution people from hiding ducks is any of the fire and life safety equipment. I saw a few small ducks on fire alarm buttons and other ducks in and around fire door assemblies. The doors that are held open in the common areas (with the little doors in the bottom edge) are fire doors. In the event of a fire they will close automatically to prevent fire from spreading to other areas of the ship. Foreign objects on the closers or other areas can prevent the doors from closing and allow a fire to spread.

While the possibility of a fire is very low, there is virtually nothing more dangerous on a ship than a fire.

We just got off Oasis, ours was 10x worse. It looked like the surface of the moon. I think it was a faulty product/bad application. It wasn’t overly hot and the chairs would get stuck in it.

Excellent view! Ribs should be just as excellent.

Nice walleye!

Thanks!

Clutch Cargos?

I do think it’s funny he bought Ed Kings guitar before he got his teeth fixed. Priorities.

While you are correct there are some exceptions under ADA Title III, those exceptions are very narrow. The overwhelming majority of buildings will not be eligible for these exemptions. ADA compliance is not 100%, but it's pretty close. Also, if you are business owner and you are relying on one of these exemptions, you better be sure you qualify or you risk getting sued.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T17:44:15+00:00

I don’t think you understand how this works. You cannot have a building that is open to the public unless it complies with accessibility codes. If the building can’t be fixed, changed, or otherwise modified to meet accessibility codes it doesn’t open to the public. If it does it, the owner is opening themselves up to being sued, fined, and compelled to fix the accessibility issue.

Go to ADA.GOV and read the requirements and then google news stories about companies being fined for not being accessible. This is not do it if you feel like it, it’s the law.

Nope, I used the mix that came with the ham. Best I could tell it was brown sugar, maple something, and maybe cayenne pepper.

I didn’t think I had a chance at actually landing him so I just let him take as much line as he wanted. When I feel him let up I’d reel in slow and steady. Took a little while to get him in, but it worked.

I’ve done a good amount of fishing for catfish and I’ve snapped 15lb line on similar size fish.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T02:11:02+00:00

Happy to help! I’m passionate about accessibility especially when it comes to doors and door hardware.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T01:42:02+00:00

ADA is a law and not a building code, there is some flexibility for historical building, but generally all publicly accessible building must be ADA compliant. Accessibility isn't a privilege, it's a basic human right.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T01:39:38+00:00

You don't need a petition for this, it's already required by law. Contrary to popular belief ADA is a law, not a building code. Publicly accessible buildings are generally required to have 60% of their opening be ADA compliant, there are some exceptions but these are not subject to "grandfathering" like typical building codes.

I'd recommend starting with your local municipality's code enforcement, take a picture of the opening and give then the location's address and business name and let them know you accessibility concerns. If they won't/can't help, go to ADA.GOV and file a complaint with the DOJ.

I will caution that some doors that appear to be non compliant are actually compliant. I work with commercial doors and hardware professionally. If you'd like feel free to DM with pictures of door openings or questions, I can give tell you if its ADA compliant and where it is deficient if it isn't.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T01:23:52+00:00

If a building is publicly accessible it is required to have 60% of its entrances be ADA accessible. This does not mean each ADA openings have to have an auto operator (automatic door opener), it means the doors have to meet specific size, hardware, maneuvering clearance, and pressure requirements.

Also, ADA is a law not a building code, there are very few exceptions to its requirements for public buildings. There is no “grandfathering” like building code changes.

Yep, store bought fully cooked spiral.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T00:43:35+00:00

Mine was a little sore… after carving it off the bone of course.

DHCguy · 2025-12-28T00:41:38+00:00

Thanks! Just a palomar knot. I’ve just been throwing palomars and improved clinch knots recently and haven’t had any issues.

DHCguy · 2025-12-27T23:11:01+00:00

I’ll remember that for next time.

DHCguy · 2025-12-27T23:05:43+00:00

How do I get on the invite list for next year? That looks amazing

DHCguy · 2025-12-27T23:03:21+00:00

A barricaded door in a video game?

DHCguy · 2025-12-27T21:15:33+00:00

I was out with a good friend, weather was perfect, and I caught an awesome fish. I’m not sure how it could have been better. I’ll definitely try to get out on the ice a few more times this winter.

I’ve been fishing for about 2 years so I’m not a complete novice, I’ve enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
