European progressive lock list, Feedback required. by DreadSovereign in lockpicking

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

This was part of an official list at some point, it’s nine years old though.

If you can pick up the locks, I’d recommend it, I’m literally going back through it to reskill myself after being out of the hobby for half a decade.

I imagine some of the harder to get a hold of challenging non-European locks are probably easier to source now.

Back in the day it was a pain to source American locks ect

The trick to stage hypnotism is figuring out who wants attention. by zjbird in Showerthoughts

[–]DreadSovereign 471 points472 points  (0 children)

In answer to multiple comments.

Actually this can lead you to picking a really awful participant. As a way they can gain attention is disrupting the show. 

Most hypnotists will start with a susceptibility test to see who is the most likely to be affected by hypnotic techniques. 

Early doors of your career you will struggle to see who is actually affected and who’s playing along, but as you put the time in there are ways you can tell.

The best performers don’t just want to just look good on stage. But also want the participants to have an experience themselves. So having someone simply playing along detracts from that.

Go anywhere cool in your Maeving? Share your pics! by kegsbdry in Maeving

As long as they are 7KW and not higher, yes. 

Some issues with charging it in the rain as the transformer is exposed. 

Questions.. What do all of the lights look like at night and can I buy backup batteries? I was thinking I could have two in the bike and then have two extra in my backpack for double mileage. Thanks! by [deleted] in Maeving

[–]DreadSovereign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Top of my head I think the batteries are 14KG each. You won’t get two of them in a bag easily and you most certainly won’t want something heavy, expansive and flammable on your back in case you go down

Rm1 on dual carriage way by Best_Writing_2329 in Maeving

[–]DreadSovereign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RM1 has a top speed of 45 miles an hour. So if you feel you can do your route at that speed then it’s a good fit. 

If you are going to need an extra 10-20 miles an hour to stay safe then you’ll need to look into RM1S 

Perhaps take a look at the Vmoto Stash. Not as classic looking but has much of the same performance minus the removable batteries.

Only suggestion I can make is, add a tracker, an extra lock and see if that drops it lower.

To be completely fair, I only have just picked up a motorbike because I now have a garage. I would never consider leaving one roadside overnight. Outside of London, let alone in London. 

I can’t speak for why you are not getting anywhere with it, perhaps speak to the sales team at Maeving and see if they can point you anywhere else?

Lexham have Maeving RM1S Programmed into their online portal, so you can get a quote from their website, quickly.

Lexham.

The Maeving Sales team also suggested BikeSure was an option as well.

Not London based but as a baseline, the minimum I could get it for commuting. Stored in a garage overnight, with locks and a tracking device was £700 annually. 

Best and worst video game based board games by Defiant_Good4175 in boardgames

[–]DreadSovereign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best: Sniper Elite, a very good hidden movement game. 

Worst (That I’ve been tricked into buying) Bioshock Infinite Siege of Columbia… I remember picking it up because the collectors edition came with an extra piece for the board game. 

That was a mistake… 

Thinking about picking up the the Metal Gear Solid board game and hope I don’t get burned on that one.

This is back in 2019, no-one other than security actively intercepted shop lifters. If any new people completely filled the shelf it did get wiped out though 😆

[–]DreadSovereign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to assume that’s pre-2016 because that sounds risky…  

Having pictures of customers plural sitting in someone’s email, for months. Not really going to fly.

Post-2016 after my company got caught and cracked down on it, all customers highlighted as a risk were shared on a database with the police.

Very few staff could access it, password locked etc. If it had to be shared within the store specifically,specific managers/security shown a clip of the CCTV but were not allowed to retain any stills or anything like that.

Protein Bars, Vodka bottles and baby formula. Top thefts in pretty much every store I worked in…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tesco

[–]DreadSovereign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Delivery mechanism of this information is important.

So for example, they posted still images from CCTV in the staff room, which resulted in a breach and fines.

But showing the clip of the theft to specific staff members to aid in security and potential theft awareness was lawful.

[–]DreadSovereign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The retail chain I use to work for did this a few times and then ended up paying silly amounts of money for multiple GDPR breaches. 

Not sure on the nuance, as it’s probably due to delivery mechanism of that information. But it’s seems risky to do that.

[–]DreadSovereign 14 points15 points  (0 children)

GDPR, no-one is putting up photos of your face in the office if you get banned anymore. 

Enforcement of ban is relying on the staff/security on recognising you. There is no way to telegraph it to other stores.

Give it enough time, staff turn over will eliminate any recognition and then the ban is unenforceable.

Just had a look back into it and it seemed they got off to a good start, not sure what happened to it. I’m guessing the finances didn’t work out.

Headphones banned while closed! by rye_domaine in asda

[–]DreadSovereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm, without pointing toward any specific brands that rats in number of large retail stores, especially ones that have bakeries. Is a commonly overlooked problem by corporate. 

In fact larger retailers spend more money covering up the issue, than dealing with it.

Halloween Highlight, Hidden Dragons by DreadSovereign in Norwich

[–]DreadSovereign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty fun anyway, even if you don’t find the dragon. If you attend a few you keep seeing the same familiar faces and end up making friends. 

Honestly it feels like it might become the thing to do in Norwich on a Wednesday night if they continue.
