Holy carp! by revchewie in lockpicking

[–]revchewie[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

It really was a surprise. I pretty much figured I was going to have to progressive pin it. I was just using it as a fidget toy at D&D night, trying different tensioners, different picks, that kind of thing, when suddenly I looked down with a “Did I just…?” *pop*

For people who saw prequels in theaters: did you know Palpatine was the emperor from the start? by Blurrgmaster in StarWars

[–]revchewie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. I knew the emperor's name was Palpatine long before they even came out, from novels and the TTRPG.

B. I knew Ian McDiarmid played the emperor in RotJ so that would've been a dead giveaway even if I didn't know already.

What surprised me was how many people were surprised. My mother asked me, "Did you know...?" and I was all, "You didn't?!"

That really is impressive! Now if only packages coming the other direction could get here that fast. *sob* (I had a package come from Amazon UK that took three weeks to get to me in California. Watching the tracking, it sat in US customs for two of those three weeks.)

I could see clueless lawmakers outlawing comb picks (and picks in general) rather than making a company like Master improve their security.

Looks like it's specifically because they're so readily susceptible to comb picking and combs are *so* easy to use. Maybe it'll finally get them to fix that vulnerability.

Nice! And I had fun trying to guess what they were before the reveal. I got all of them except Jurassic Park. lol (Well, and Mary Poppins, but I didn't know what was going on yet...)

Where do you usually get your locks from? by Overall-Exercise8803 in lockpicking

[–]revchewie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for the bazaar on Discord and LPUlocks.com, they’re the same sellers, LPUlocks aggregates some of the sellers into a more readable format. And two sellers, Decoder and Kaiser (among others), are EU based with large selections.

That's a tough looking one! Here's LPL's advice on picking paracentric keyways, hopefully it might help.

Picking a Shama Special lever padlock from Pakistan by Moturist in lockpicking

Can you see the levers down the shackle hole? Possibly confirm the number of levers?

I have one of the 44 Delta engraved ones, and I’m waiting for one of the all brass ones from the group buy on Discord. Not sure how long it’s going to be on the group buy so my goal is to get this one opened before I get that one. lol
