Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.

Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.

I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I’ve had plenty in my hands

Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys

I thought the same

It would be easier to steal keys off of someone’s desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that’s a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you’re wrong in my field of expertise

Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I’m not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I’d have to say it’s probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I’m 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master’s m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn’t y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage’s SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.

I still have the lava lamp my first girlfriend gave me. It’s strange, there’s so many things from that time in my life that remind me of her. Even certain locations take me back, when I’m visiting my old stomping grounds. But not that lava lamp. It’s just a light

I was thinking the same, but less eloquently.

“Femcels won’t date neckbeards, and incels won’t date fat chicks”

Yours is much better

How they do rise up

Something I find delightful is how Terry Pratchett worked this event into his novel Night Watch. Of course the Glorious Revolution of the Twenty-Fifth of May is inspired by many public revolts to oppressive rule, not the least of which is the June Rebellion in Paris in 1832. But it’s also no accident that some of the villains of the story work for the Cable Street Particulars, an enforcement arm of the fascist ruling Patrician.

Yes, and I love your username

This is the answer. It’s the intersection of those with strong personal opinions and the power (money) to speak their mind without true repercussions, and the power (money) hungry who are following the strongest zeitgeist in the halls of power.

The zeitgeist exists because the entrenched powerful ones are currently using trans people and migrants as a wedge between different parts of the working class. It used to be homosexuals and communists. Or abortions and hippies. Or slaves. Or indigenous people. Ad nauseum. It’s about keeping the working class divided and maintaining power. This is the latest version. And it’s not just in the US BTW

People like Rowling are new money working class that fell for the con

I think Peanuts is speaking from JKR’s perspective, not justifying it

But I also skimmed bits of both of your comments. It’s ironic really, because I’m equally verbose

Joshua Dean had a memory keen

He was strong and he ran every day

But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too

At 46, he was sent on his way

Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama

And he took a lot of pride in his work

He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly

And now he’s over his head in the dirt

You can know a lot

You can know a little

But whatever you know

Just don’t blow the whistle

I’ve found a lot of success in working through things logically when the painful memories return.

What does this memory teach me?

Have I learned all I can from this memory?

If it has taught me everything it can, I can set this memory aside, as there is no purpose in dwelling on it.

I am a better person because of the lessons learned, thank you memory, you have served me well. You may rest

This puts me in a position of acknowledging my imperfections without suffering long term regret. I can’t change the past, and if I’ve learned from it, then I need to live in the Now, not the Then

I’ve got one job to do this morning, which should take me a couple of hours to complete. Then I’ll do tax prep paperwork for a couple more hours, then go over to my elderly parents and replace one of their toilets.

Once I do that I’ll come home and post about my day on DullMensClub

I’m not sure, I’m using documents produced by a larger org. The message I get if i try to edit the locked parts is:

The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

Btw i tried using Google docs on these Word files and the formatting broke in all kinds of terrible ways.

I know the idea here is to maintain consistent branding among the franchises. Anything sent back to the parent org needs to be in docx format, with no changes to the locked elements. If that can be done with a FOSS program, great! Local use has more leeway, but broken formatting is a nonstarter

One of the organizations I work with uses Word docs with locked fields. How does only office do with that style of chestnut?

The runway-numbers drop the LAST, not the 1st, numeral,

Yes, thank you, i meant what you wrote, but said the opposite. A not infrequent error, sadly

I had forgotten about the battery backup. I’m not sure what the law is in S. Korea and surrounding countries. If the accident plane only flew in Asia and none of the destination countries required that equipment they may not have had backup batteries for the CVR/FDR. Dunno about any of that tho

It’s a perfectly cromulent word

Pedant? Well yes. A bit

Sarcastic asshole? Very much. It’s mostly tongue-in-cheek tho, all in good fun. I wouldn’t say the same about someone’s fan-fic, for instance, but Disney? Yeah
