Well⌠You are a terrible influence and I love it! đ
Hi I want to say. This seems cool in theory but please do not try this on your front door or other doors that you ever want to be able to lock again.
I know this is going to sound really dumb, and Iâm not proud of it, but one day I got locked out of the house and, because I had seen this exact post like once, and having plenty of bobbi pins on my dumbass head, decided I might as well try and pick the lock. In my defense, I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown and was fully aware that I probably wasnât going to be able to actually pull it off, but figured Iâd try to amuse myself for the hour or so I had to wait for my mom to come home.
HEREâS THE CATCH. LOCKS ARE REALLY, REALLY FUCKING SENSITIVE. If you fuck around with them even a little bit, you will just absolutely ruin it and the key will be completely useless from that point onward. Obviously this did not occur to me in time to stay my destructive little idiot hands. The many times that I have seen thieves and cool action heroes pick locks in movies or vidya games, it was in situations where they didnât really give a shit if they ruined the lock forever. But, thatâs what I did to the front door of my own fucking house. Spoiler: I didnât even manage to get in. I just fucked up the lock so bad that NO KEY WOULD WORK. That was fun to explain to my mom when she got home to let me in with her now completely useless key. I wound up climbing in through a window and we had to replace the front door lock.
So yeah. Your thieves skill did not increase from seeing this post but my Dumb Idiot That Fucks Up Everything skill skyrocketed. Please donât be like me.
i made my cat listen to the audio clip in from the article + he loved it
I called my skittish kitty, Aislynn, into the bedroom and up onto the bed next to me, and I played the Cozmoâs Air for her. No reaction. But sheâs my âsucklerâ kitty, who does nursing paws and drools on stuff when she is happy. So I put on Rustyâs Ballad instead. And she stopped moving, just staring at me like sheâd found god. Then she closed her eyes. I played it again and she carefully laid down with her head near the speaker of my laptop. I paid for and downloaded the whole song immediately and halfway through playing the full song, my other cat came into the room and stared at the computer like she had also found god, and now they are both laying near me listening with their eyes slitted and their ears ticking.
I bought this mug last year specifically to take to staff meetings, thesis defenses, and guest lectures and let me tell you the amount of grumpy old physicists that were absolutely delighted by this mug warms my heart
