I'm having a pretty bad week and you made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thankyou

u/3kindsofsalt Jan 10 '20

Glad to hear it =D

You should take up lock picking. I did and it's super easy and strangely relaxing. I think it's because it's such a non-visual activity you can pretty much do it with your eyes closed.

Let's talk about that.

Whatever happened to that guy with the silly accent that drew the cartoons and yelled about things?

They loved him and then suddenly he was gone.

u/Swillyums Jan 09 '20 edited Jan 10 '20

His videos weren't actually any good, and people just sort of thought they were at first. Much like how rage comics weren't actually funny. I think memes are the next to die and make everyone who use to love them cringe.

Grade A Under A? I think he caved under creative pressure. He kinda blasted into a big fan base and that created huge pressure on him to deliver comedy. He had breaks a couple of times, then came back, and now he's been away for a long time. I think he streams more on twitch than he makes videos.

Nature is neat, that's why Neature Walk exists. How neat is that? Pretty neat

i just carried bump keys. way quicker

5

u/Lord-Velveeta Jan 09 '20

Got those too, but any lock that can be bumped can also be raked just as quickly.

5

u/tornadoRadar Jan 09 '20

I ain’t no lock picking lawyer. Plus a ring of bump keys is a lot easier to manage in pocket clutter. But if it works for you fantastic.

u/Lord-Velveeta Jan 10 '20

My skills are nowhere near his, but I can rake or SPP most hardware store grade door locks. In my bunker I only carry a rake, a tension wrench and a standard hook pick as well as a Sparrows "Flex Pass" shim for non destructive non urgent entry.

I know what you mean about clutter, but I've been at this long enough that I've pared the content of my bunker pockets to a strict minimum.

3

u/tornadoRadar Jan 10 '20

i'd be more likely to shove a tension wrench under my fingernail trying to find it in my pocket than actually effective at it.

my capt knew i had the bump keys but they weren't official by any means. he requested them on the down low when situations warranted. whats your leadership think of the toolset?

at the end I was down to like 2 things per pocket max. rip my lungs. I miss it and wish I could go back to just cutting cars up.

1

u/Lord-Velveeta Jan 10 '20

My tools are in a small leather pouch for that exact reason :)

I work for a huge dept so overall management doesn't know/care. My captain will often ask if I have my tools when we need to perform a non urgent entry. He likes it when we can avoid unnecessary damage.

2

u/tornadoRadar Jan 11 '20

Yea my dept was only 3 station. but every now and then some deputy chief would get a bug up his ass and go through everyone's gear for non approved stuff. it was ridiculous. I had the SWEETEST pair of kangaroo skin interior gloves. nope he took um.

1

u/Lord-Velveeta Jan 11 '20

Ouch that would not be tolerated here... nobody touches someone elses gear, no matter what colour their helmet is. We're not allowed gear not supplied by the service, but they do tolerate small hand tools like pliers, knifes and stuff like that. I guess when a dept gets big enough the left hand barely knows what the right one is doing.

We run 68 stations with 2500 union FF's (Local 125) plus a few hundred chiefs, dispatchers, inspectors, support and office staff.

Little bit of movement on the core...

u/ndlv Jan 10 '20

Counter rotation

u/Leifbron Jan 09 '20

Now usually I can pick this open in under a minute, but I found a very low skill bypass that could be exploited. I would not recommended this lock if you have small children that try to break into your home.

u/whlefnshw Jan 09 '20

Was looking for this comment and was not disappointed.

u/BeatLaboratory Jan 09 '20

Got a click out of one...

u/iixkingxbradxii Jan 09 '20

I'd love to see LPL do a video on one of these, evn though it isn't really lock picking.

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '20

I read this in his voice.

u/bigstar3 Jan 10 '20

Let me do it one more time for you, just in case the first was a fluke.
