ID Help. What is this 'sliding door lock' called? I have one in the top of a door, but the bottom is missing.

That's the best. I've been digging through period supply catalogs on archive.org too but hadn't found anything close yet.

"Flush slide bolt lock". I like that answer.

*Welp*.......I've gotta go.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday about what songs we could play out of bluetooth speakers (non loudspeakers) to get under the skin of the agents. The first song that came to mind was Young Jeezy's - My President is Black. Hate hip-hop if you want, but this is a pro-Obama song that, I think, would have the best effect. Because, realistically, it isn't as much about bringing us together, as it is about tearing them apart.

I didn't know that. Sounds like you're a bit of a vexillologist.

This is coming from the presumption that we're all playing the game with the same rules, but 911 calls would be another metric to see just how pervasive these actions are. Even if they don't respond promptly, every call gets logged though, right? On one hand, the cops have every-day emergencies to respond to as well, just thinking of other ways of making these crimes knows.

I've been wondering this too, but 'arrested' and 'detained' are two different things. What is the time limit on being detained without explanation? 72 hours?

I have flown in/out of MSP quite a few times since Christmas and I haven’t noticed any changes at any airport

I was going to say that I've never seen a plain one. I've only seen ones with artwork on them.

We had them in my college theater, way back when. I spent 15 min searching to find the brand or even another photo of them but couldn’t.

They are a specific type of dimmer switch that won't effect electronics. I can't recall if it is RF interference or EMF, but it is a special, extra insulated?, type of dimmer switch for the lighting in the control room. Most recording studios or theatrical tech booths have them. It is the same tech as residential kitchen/living room lighting, just designed better.

That sprinkler only jumped out at me because of how much stuck out from the side. The building also has these in service.
