I looked up my old character just the other day—my account must had been compromised because all of my gear was gone.

I could totally see myself going back to play again and pick up where I left off (after 18 years), but I don’t think that’s possible anymore.

I’m no fan of google, but I don’t see how it could be expected to act as the insurer for people who have fallen victim to social-engineering gift card scams.

It would be a pretty crazy precedent if the judge ruled differently.

Mugs like that are exactly the sort of thing my grandparents would have had—good humored and in love, though arguable during a different time.

Gandhi quotes, so inspirational…

Forbes always has misleading, anti-Apple click bait.

When it comes to Apple-related topics, I never click on Forbes articles. Their coverage is inherently misleading, but that strategy must be generating click-through revenue. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bro got robbed for the science Nobel prize back in ‘86–he literally invented teleportation and got beat out by some dip working on a tunneling microscope.

I’m glad he was able to change gears, focus on medicine, and recover from his fatal shotgun wounds and mutated genes. It’d just be a bit ironic if he used a tunneling microscope in his mRNA work.

I hope this frees up time to invest more time in a passion project for himself. I want nothing but contentment for that guy.

If there‘a an ounce of karmic alignment in this world, Draft Kings will be sponsoring his posthumous induction to Cooperstown.

I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.

It’d be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.

Fairly thorough, if somewhat dated, list of Siri commands…

 

I have an antique desk which has three locks and a single key.

My key continues to work for one of the locks, but when inserted into the other two lock key ways, the key will not turn in either direction (will basically wiggle a millimeter or so in either direction, but does not start to actually turn).

I am a very amateurish lock picker—I can rake a basic lock or use a snap gun, but this lever/mortise lock is very different from anything I have tried to pick before.

I should mention that I used the working lock to confirm that the key fully inserts into the other two locks before attempting to turn the key.

I’ve tried looking up tools for picking this lock and watched some YouTube videos.

I am curious if anyone with experience picking this sort of lock might offer some advice on tools to get or improvise.

I’m including a photo of the key to help identify what might be needed.

Any advice is appreciated.
