  • So i don’t know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.

    Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there’s a few different designs.

    Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol

    Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure



  • Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door

    Spent hours on that stupid safe.

  • an Alabama law that looks like its written to de-escalate an already escalated event

    Which is probably why the case hasn’t already been dismissed over “qualified immunity”. They had no legal authority to be there without a court order, according to that law. They’re arguing they were there to “keep the peace”, but that’s a thin argument in the face of the law you mentioned.

    Dude absolutely shouldn’t have been brandishing a gun at the repo man. That doesn’t justify summary execution by what can be described most charitably as a frightened, unqualified cop and most likely as someone looking to kill a dude. I hold little hope of justice being done, sadly







  • Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate

    +1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.

    I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears

    Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that
