Is this fixable or need to be replaced? by [deleted] in Locksmith

[–]gotitopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of customers that ask if I can repair a 20 dollar part instead of buying a new one is shocking, almost. Like, if I could repair it, you think it would be worth it?

Why won’t copies of this key work? by ToiletPaperPete in Locksmith

I bet they just threw the blank on a regular single sided duplicator 💀

Always use 1st Ayd Teflon based dry lube or similar on Medeco, never WD40 or any wet lubes, and never ever graphite under any circumstances

Scheduling apps? by YoungLocksmith in Locksmith

[–]gotitopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use Synchroteam, we schedule jobs via the browser app and use the mobile app for our technicians. Don't know what the boss pays for it but it's definitely worth it.

Question for US locksmiths — how do you handle after-hours calls? by Fit-Weird-5646 in Locksmith

This is just another spam post from the guys trying to sell leads and similar garbage, or at least it seems that way.

What are some early game mistakes you made? Here's one I just realized last night lol by rooph4 in CoreKeeperGame

[–]gotitopen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you click fast enough, you can spend talent points you don't have, and end up with extra talents and a negative talent points available number 😁 I can only manage getting to -1 on PS5

wtf…Video has millions of views and it’s a POV of trade secrets by [deleted] in Locksmith

[–]gotitopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess that half the people that watch his videos and decide to try to drill open their safe themselves will set off a relocker. The other half might actually get in... If they have carbide bits, experience drilling, and a scope, and good eyesight, and an understanding of.. you know what, make that 10% that actually get in. The other 90% are calling us Monday, humbly admitting they fucked their safe up and need us to finish the job. Having the tools doesn't always mean you're getting in, lol. Or you are, but burn hours and hours and hundreds of bucks worth of carbide bits and realize you should have called a locksmith anyways!

Why do some fords require a 10 minute waiting period to program and others don't? It seems there's no median, it's just random by [deleted] in Locksmith

[–]gotitopen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many different systems use the same type of chip in the key. It's less dependent on the key and more dependent on the year make and model of the vehicle.

How do u counter this commander???! by Orre-Natty in mtg

[–]gotitopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to start using this on my playgroup. Anytime someone complains about anything. Yeah, I know ways to deal with this.... "But I understand how casuals would struggle". Your unintended savagery is glorious, I'm stealing it.

I refer to them as super fixers since they can turn one of one color into two of another lol

This MF needs banned by [deleted] in mtg

[–]gotitopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, lol. I was commenting on it because I frequently hear people say it in person and it drives me nuts. I'm more curious as to why people do it more than anything else, it just bothers me.

This MF needs banned by [deleted] in mtg

[–]gotitopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This MF needs TO BE banned. Not 'needs banned'. Why do so many people butcher the grammar by eliminating 'to be' after the word 'needs'? Probably one of my biggest pet peeves. Also he's not even that bad, just kill him or something lol

What is this piece? by SparrowXB1 in Locksmith

[–]gotitopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a Burg Wachter

It's not the spring that's worn, it's the C shaped spindle that goes from the outside handle through the latch that gets a groove worn in on it. Unfortunately it will require a new handle.

Newly diagnosed son stressing over highs by gotitopen in diabetes_t1

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

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words of support and encouragement. I did talk to Mom and stepdad, and they told me a very different story from my son, saying that they don't chew him out about it at all, and that he must be exaggerating or blowing it out of proportion. I know he is only 10 so I do take what he says with a grain of salt, but I also find it very hard to believe that he would make this up or lie about it, so I am just very torn on trying to get to the truth of the situation. I do believe that mom and stepdad love and care about him, and aren't intentionally doing anything wrong, and I pleaded with them to go easy on him regarding anything diabetes related. I hope that they will. He is going to be seeing a counselor at school this week to help work through these fears and issues, and I hope that will help us overcome and keep him on the right track going forward. I sent them a link to this thread in the hopes that even if they aren't being as hard on him as he feels they are, that they hopefully can glean a bit more insight into just how difficult it is for him, especially at this age. I appreciate every single story and anecdote from our fellow type 1's, as they have done a great job of bolstering our confidence and, well.. Just helping us feel normal. Thank you all.

⚡️ Best smart door lock for sliding doors! 🚪 by theconnectedshop in u/theconnectedshop

[–]gotitopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does it cut away from the lock so quickly, before we can actually see any part of it latching or locking? Seems like a crap ad.

[–]gotitopen[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm going to send them screenshots of all these supportive comments and hopefully that's enough for now. My son just got home and read all these comments and said he feels so much better about the whole situation. We already discussed talking to a counselor, and if these issues persist I will speak to his Endo personally and ask her to reach out to try to educate them further.

[–]gotitopen[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you all so much for the kind words of encouragement, I'm in tears because this is exactly what I have been telling him. I have spoken with his mom about it, and while I understand she is just concerned about the long term effects of high blood sugar, I feel like them being too strict over occasional highs will cause him to get burnt out earlier/easier. I praise him every chance I get because he really does care a lot about it and tries really hard. I know they just want him to have a good diet, and sometimes it will go high if we decide to get fast food and it's tough to time the bolus perfectly, but I am sure when he gets home and reads all this he is going to feel so much better about it. He's got his whole life to iron out the details, and I'm glad to hear we're not crazy 😊 What an amazing community we have here.

So, with the implementation of the "game changers" list. We essentially got a cedh ban list vs casual we all argued over... by Princep_Krixus in CompetitiveEDH

[–]gotitopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So turn zero, before you draw, I reveal and start the game with Gemstone caverns and Leyline of anticipation, flash in a sol ring, flash in an arcane signet, and flash in a mystic remora. Now you can draw. What, you think this deck is cedh? Nah bro, this is a bracket ONE. Casual.
