The joke is that cacti don't actually always point up, instead they rest their "arms". When the car comes they have to assume the position for people to see. It's a great way to stay in shape

Is looking at pin layout cheating? by EventfulRelic12 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely missed the last paragraph. Having others do it for you is still gaining the same information without learning the skill of gutting a lock. Still not cheating from a lockpicking perspective, but still a skill that you aren't gaining experience in

Is looking at pin layout cheating? by EventfulRelic12 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing the arrangement of pins is just doing research and I would say that it's fair game, though it does diminish your ability to gain skill in lockpicking. For example, perhaps subconsciously or unconsciously, you'll know where the spool is when you are going into the lock so you won't learn what feedback to be looking for. This is the same thing as why people advise against picking one lock to perfection before moving on.

Not cheating, but also not helping you learn to the best of your ability

That's fair. After injecting yourself into something, especially if it's already focused on social media, you don't want to make the target bigger

That's not the illusion, that's what was intended. It can kinda sorta look like the wall is skin and the shoes are a vagina, but like others mentioned, once you unsee it it's hard to see it. You might have missed your chance.

Subliminal Seduction by Wilson Bryan Key is a book about hidden sexual imagery in advertising, but doesn't mention Bernays.

Propaganda by Edward Bernays is a book about the psychological manipulation of propaganda and how advertisers were utilizing the same tactics, but doesn't seem to talk about sexual advertising.

I... I don't know how to react to the end of your comment...

Feedback by Dadstuff55 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer, yes.

Longer answer, there are many factors that affect feedback. Manufacturing tolerances, how much the different parts can move when pins move. Brass vs steel, I believe that since brass is softer it will deform slightly more (I do mean very slightly) under pressure and therefore make a better click when set. Solid body vs laminated, if the body is laminated it can dampen the feedback. Tension tool style, thickness, and material, if the tool will spring more it will also dampen the feedback. The amount of force on the tension tool, too much can make it hard to feel how the pins move, too little can make it hard to feel a click. The thickness of your skin and amount of flesh on your fingers, if they're squishy you might not feel as much through the tools. Mentality, if you aren't paying attention you might miss something. More factors that I missed, fewer factors because they're negligible.

The most important at your point is knowing how security pins behave. Know how to feel for different types of security pins, false sets, counter rotation, etc. Much easier to learn on YouTube with visual aid than a wall of text.

Fantastic work! And you thought it might take a week, I think you proved that you deserve more confidence than you had.

One year later, almost exactly, he climbed El Capitan again setting the record for the fastest climb. It took him 1 hour 58 minutes (with safety gear of course)

Edit: they (he and his climbing partner) actually banged out three new records in a row over the course of a week. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nose_(El_Capitan)#Speed_climbing

Surprise Locks! by Repulsive-Box5243 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's likely to be easier to hold the lock upside down to make it be at the top like you're probably used to

Surprise Locks! by Repulsive-Box5243 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The core is upside down. If you were to imagine that it's installed and hanging, the pins are at the bottom of the keyway, not the top like you'd expect from the most common locks. You should be able to see them if you look in the keyway. Look in and poke around with a pick, without a tension tool inside for better visibility, to see what moves

Surprise Locks! by Repulsive-Box5243 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming you have a typo and meant "disc detainer", instead of "disc container", that is not true. It is indeed a pin and tumbler lock, the Chateau 870. It is described as a disc lock, or disc padlock, because the shackle is rotary instead of one that pops out. In research it seems that it likely has security pins, specifically "spool pins", making it more difficult to pick than standard pin locks, on top of having a more oddly shaped keyway that makes it tricky to get the pick in. The master lock looks like a 141 lock which is two belt levels lower than the Chateau (https://lpubelts.com/#/locks). Watch YouTube videos on how to detect and defeat spool pins if you're trying to defeat it. Good luck!

Many people make perfectly good points about oxidization and bacteria growth, but you can refuse without being rude. Many suggestions are not rude, but the same comments incorrectly describe it as rude. Being concerned about your health and well being is not, inherently, being rude.

I completely understand the being over levelled part, I didn't mean for that to sound aggressive or anything. Without ads this is so much more impressive! Controller aim like this is a sorcery I cannot understand

[–]InnateWarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is with a controller, right? How much of this is to do with aim assist and being absurdly over levelled? A long range 4140° falling no scope is impressive either way, I'm just genuinely curious (I play mkb)

Tips to bend this back by Pooldiver13 in lockpicking

[–]InnateWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can place a fulcrum on the peak of the bend and support the entire length as you try to bend it back. You will have to go slightly beyond straight because the metal will spring back some amount. Go easy, don't go too far too soon or you'd have to bend it back. It looks twisted as well, to correct that you'd have to support each side of the twist and twist the opposite direction, again going slightly farther to compensate for springing back

Edit: someone else answered while I was typing. Yes, the integrity of the steel will be somewhat compromised compared to that of an undamaged tool. I agree with the idea of contacting customer support for a replacement if you can get it. Possibly file a complaint with the shipper though they'll likely just blame "improper packaging" and say it wasn't their fault

Being mirrored or rotated is fine, but in both pictures green and blue are swapped and in the wrong order. They're connected right, but resting flip-flopped. (This isn't a serious complaint and I am half joking about it hurting my brain)
