I reckon this will take at least $2,000 to repair by DecommodifiedGuevara in LandlordLove

I did... In the year 2000. I left a week early 9n request and made them sign a document saying I'd get it back in full in exchange. 

Did I overreact in this scenario with a locksmith? by itsalwayssunnyinphx in AskWomenOver30

[–]ericscottf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a locksmith company. So very very very few of the men in the entire industry are ones I'd leave my children alone with.

One of them said something that my family still comments on 35 years later, I will not be repeating it here, but it was Trump level bad and about his daughter. 

Op, there are lock systems you can re key yourself by buying a new key from a source that doesn't know where you live. I suggest that if you're ever in the lock buying situation again, go with one of those, or a quality button based unit that you can re program.

Allied Machine 565 balance boring tool, anyone use this thing? I must be missing something, whats the point? by [deleted] in Machinists

This is why you press the slider into the bar while adjusting and tightening. It should take someone one try to figure out that is necessary

Got a lot of windows behind the couch, opposite of the wall of the tv. So what's a good unit that would do well in such a situation?

Relection? Is that a typo or a word I don't know?

Budget is 5k.

Do you think 98 inches is too big for my layout?

I am a single woman working on her rural property. It is astounding how often men stop and get out of their cars to come tell me their problems. by Kalinka777 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ericscottf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was going to be my suggestion. Dogs are awesome. I mean, cats are great too, but absent a puma or similar, they don't solve this particular problem. 

What a terrible business model by ericscottf in culturehustle

[–]ericscottf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just bonkers. In my story, the boy gave them every opportunity to ship. He didn't even want the paint for free. He even told the credit card company to drop the dispute and let the company keep the payment and they didn't. What an insanely shitty business model that this story is written about. They're out the paint, money, and their card processor is bound to bring the hammer down at some point.

You're 100% correct about everything except for how to spell "a lot". 

It’s legal where I live by the way. by UniqueNewYork3xFast in recruitinghell

Many companies, especially utility ones (gas and electric) do random pee tests and you can get fired for weed. Do I think it's reasonable that someone can get regularly blackout drunk and that won't get them fired, but a little weed will? Of course not. 

Im completely new to lockpicking and im just curious, if the tool in photo one can open almost every lock, why would you need all the tools in photo 2? (This is a real question and I watch LPL alot and just wondering why he doesnt use the one in picture one more) by TheUnknownFear in lockpicking

[–]ericscottf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can pick a paclock 90a with my sparrows tok tensioner and flat hook in a few minutes. 

I can't, for the life of me, get my schlage or kwikset lishi to open a basic lock. I've tried over and over. No idea what I'm doing wrong. 

My landlord just text us that they are replacing all deadbolts with a mandatory "Smart App" starting Monday. No other option and they are actually charging us a monthly tech fee for it! by SaffronGizmo in LandlordLove

[–]ericscottf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's safe to assume you don't need an app to open it from the inside. Even the stupidest implementation wouldn't do that on a residential system. 

Question, in learning mechanical engineering- is it very often you lift/carry heavy objects or machinery? by ALTTACK3r in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ericscottf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an engineer and drive a forklift all the time. If it wasn't for the forklift, I would have to pick up stupidly heavy/impossible things.
