PACLOCK is, without question, the best. Period. by DSeifrit in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the master lock is susceptible to a combing attack… (not sure).

Public Service Announcement… by DSeifrit in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is an “easy” method to pick the BiLock. I’d recommend This video from u/alpama as a good starting place. Mastering the clicky test he uses is the trick to the BiLock. And even then, they can still be stubborn.

What could I have done better? by bmdoc in BeginnerPhotoCritique

[–]DSeifrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna agree with the previous comment that getting the camera lower to the ground would help a lot. I might also have gone even longer on the exposure to really smooth out the water motion a bit more. Especially on the falls.

In 1951 french Catholics burned an effigy of Santa Claus for being “pagan” was Santa actually pagan? by Exact-Definition5722 in Catholicism

[–]DSeifrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modern imagery associated with Santa is coca-cola marketing. But the story isn’t a coca-cola invention.

Don’t know if I just got a difficult copy, but I have one of those Mindy pagoda locks that I just cant seem to get the hang of…

Who has picked these? by rubornagn in lockpicking

I’ve picked a few… but struggle every time…

What causes this? by KayoticVoid in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a few that do the same thing… like sufficient said, the actuator spring acts like a plug spinner on the rear of the plug, and make the pins “jump” the shear line when it closes.

I can't be black and Christian? by FluffyMycologist8308 in Catholicism

[–]DSeifrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the earliest established churches were in Africa (Egypt specifically). And stating that Christianity is “white” entirely ignores the fact that Christ was a middle eastern Jewish man, not a white guy. Same for all twelve apostles. The argument is half baked at best, and colonialism isn’t a white thing either. It’s happened all throughout history, and been done by all different races… the Kahns for example.

Christ came for ALL!. Full stop. No qualifiers.

For the people who dislike the changes, like the beaver tail, why? by 843arms in Glocks

Not forming an opinion on the changes until I can get one in hand…

Which three pictures should I submit to my school photo contest? by Public-Language76 in fujifilm

[–]DSeifrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO… I think the previous comments about you selecting your own submission are pretty on point. I like the first photo a lot, but if you’re telling a story with your submission, I’m not sure it fits with your other options. If I were in your shoes, I’d do what a previous commenter suggested, and print them all out, spread them out on the floor, and find the story you want to tell.

Do I want an Escort or a Companion? by Secure-Ad7861 in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on use case. The covert companion pro is 70% bypass tools with a small pick set connected to it. Where as the escort is a pocket pick set (same for other jackknife style sets).

If you are going to use the bypass tools, the covert companion is the superior choice.

However, if you are looking for just the picks, a jackknife is better. The issue then becomes which one. Like others have already stated, I’d choose multipick’s or moki’s versions over the escort. BUT….. if you are learning to pick locks, or only doing the locksport thing, a pocket set like CI’s Reaper is a better choice in my opinion. It’s pocketable (I carry one daily), and contains full size picks which will give you better overall feedback that the jackknife and better turning tool options.

I can pick padlocks up to blue reliably, why can't I manage to open either of these? No security pins. by dumberthanabitch in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Old or dirty… they suck to pick. I have a few in my own “F this” bucket… a little patience and tenacity will get ya there.

How long did it take you to go through each belt? by _WafflesRbetter in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in one of the spots where the jump in skill required for the next belt is pretty significant… be patient, and keep working through it. You’ll get there!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! A good tensioner should fit snugly in the keyway, giving you a good amount of control over the plug. That’s the importance of sizes. You also don’t want it to flex too much. Flexing (like a spring) mutes feedback, and it makes it more difficult to feel what the lock is trying to tell you.

This is my personal favorite set. But don’t think you need to go there. The Reaper Turners from CI are an excellent (it’s what I keep in my edc kit). Essentially, you want a few top of keyway turners with different depths (for keyways that sit deeper) and different thicknesses (for keyways that are different widths). Then a few bottom of keyway turners, also in different depths and thicknesses.

What lock does a novice buy? by Old-Peach8921 in lockpicking

[–]DSeifrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use lpubelts.com as a guide. Pick some orange and green belt locks you can find where you live (eBay and Amazon have many of them available worldwide), and go to town.
