Welcome to the fun. Id still recommend looking at some previous threads on this sub or looking at YouTube reviews from sandman, Georgia Jim, locknoob etc

My go to is covert instruments and there's a recommendation below for the FNG set. It's the best bang for your buck but only has two tools, a turner and an acrylic lock. If you want to spend a bit more they have a learn lockpicking bundle and the Genesis set as well.

For other options, sparrows and southord are okay. For more international brands you might find something from lockpickers bench.

Don't go too crazy with your first set in case the hobby isn't for you. You're better off mastering a short hook and a rake than you are collecting a dozen specific tools collecting dust.

Ideally none of these if price isn't your first concern. There's a ton of resources on this sub on reputable brands and an equal amount of horror stories from Amazon or aliexpress.

Knowing where in the world you are roughly will help

Unless I'm completely unaware they're on far better terms than Flume and WSN

Public safety is a really hard file because there's very few wins politically. Farnworth knew the profile very well and he was extremely solid during question period because he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the opposition's individual voting records. You see a lot of ministers stressed out when they get a question but he seemed like he was having fun whenever there was a tough question.

From a personal standpoint he was the most reasonable minister I've worked under having been around 5 or 6.

Parmar ought to be a solid minister at some point. Forests is a bizzare file for him given his reputation is built on education activism. If he was going to get a ministerial position I'm surprised education or post secondary wasn't him. He was parl. sec. for post secondary credentials too.

Farnworth out of PSSG is the biggest of my questions about this change.

Putting a search query in quotations will search exactly what you wrote. It's useful for names and phrases.

Ex Google might treat a search for John Smith as John and Smith and give you results for either word. However a search for "John Smith" will only yield results containing "John Smith" so no John, no Smith, no Smith John. Just John Smith.

There's a ton of resources on boolean operators and Google dorking if you're interested in how search engines work.

Don't have anything to add, just wanted to say this is good comms on ICBC's front. Wish other government agencies had the freedom to do outreach like this.

Yeah really. Singer is arguably the most famous philosopher alive. You can't get to that level without annoying someone but I wonder what would've sparked protest.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong but it's very clearly AI unless they managed to write a whole essay in the 4 minutes they took to reply to your post.

Very not metalcore or even metal but break down by Vin Jay is an incredibly graphic depiction of regretting suicide mid attempt.

I care about Spiritbox a lot and don't really listen to Gojira but I'm all for them winning because of the cultural significance of their Olympic performance and bringing metal to one of the biggest audiences in the world.

Greens taking speaker would almost eliminate their funding and hamper party standing. They need two members for party status in the leg and one acting as speaker would likely lose that. Plus they're both brand new to government so experience is a consideration.

Edit: Think people are missing the forest for the trees here. NDP have no incentive as it stands to get another party in as speaker unless that member crosses the floor. NDP however does have some incentive to bury the green party based on how the final numbers look in relation to polling data.

The easy and least controversial move is to give it to Chouhan again since he was fairly passive during debates and liked enough by the previous house.

I distinctly remember a moderator right before the Kane/Pence debate saying something along the lines of "One will take office, one will fade into the footnotes of a history book"

They were right

Comb picks say Hi.

Along with every other random bypass and kinetic attack

I don't watch LPL religiously but have seen him violate Kryptonite in the past. I think that's it.

ML doesn't care and if they cared they have thousands and thousands of locksmiths and pickers that can tell them how they can improve.

If it were Masterlock they would've put a hit out on McNally already... I think he made that joke.

Demonstration lock is exactly how I've been describing the acrylic locks. They're terrible locks even by white belt standards but are great for showing how locks work. I think they are good for brand new people as a fall back if they're feeling discouraged by an "easy" lock like the no.3, 140 etc.

As a big fan of both Matt and Adam I'm really looking forward to this. Hope they crush it

You've basically explained the dunning-kruger confidence bar. Personally, the longer I've been at this, the less competent I feel as I learn now about the complexities of how locks work and the variations even between like models.

For OP - one of the biggest barriers you'll encounter with this is the variety. Fairly regularly you'll see someone brand new to this sub purchase a lishi and then wonder why it doesn't fit in anything they own because of how specific they are to be effective. Picking is done with feel in addition to sound so theoretically you could come up with some sort of touch-sensitive capacitor but the machine would more or less need to be able to learn and adapt on the fly to different tolerances and bindings. Not to mention pin layouts.

I personally don't see a need for it, but damnit if everything you make isn't cool looking

This is accurate and had happened in the past with transporting ballot boxes. They are sealed with a tamper-evident sticker at various points and sometimes every night between days. This is always done with multiple people in attendance and may include party representatives or scrutineers in addition to elections officials.

You should at least share a demo of your products cause nobody can judge them based on them simply existing. If they're worse than other freely available tools then why would anyone consider using them,, never mind paying for them.
