- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 1 day ago:
Modern locks utilize sets spring-loaded brass pins to function.
As seen in the diagram, the key raises the pin stack to the shear line so that the cylinder plug may turn, activating or deactivating the locking mechanism.
These pins come in different lengths, and can be swapped out to change the key. That’s how they mass manufacture locks that aren’t all on the same key. It’s the same line for lock cylinders, but they use different pins and keys in assembly.
That said, there are only so many combinations of depths a key can have. Most residential keys have 5 cuts, and each cut has around 7 possible depths. So, the combinations aren’t infinite but they are varied enough that a large residential area, all using the same type of lock, shouldn’t have any repeats. And if it does, who’s going around testing their key in every door?
A lock only keeps an honest person out. The point of a lock is to make it too much of a hassle for a potential thief to bother breaking in.

- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 1 week ago:
Might just be me but… I really like the companions in the Outer Worlds 2. They’re way better than the first game. The inability to romance them was actually a selling point to me, because I assumed that meant each character’s arc would focus on their own story unrelated to their relationship with the player, like in New Vegas.
So far, I’ve loved how Inez especially expands on the history of Auntie’s Choice. There’s one companion that’s just a little goofy, but I also don’t know how you’d do that character without making them extremely naive.
The game as a whole actually is much more fleshed-out than the first, at least thus far (halfway through). I highly recommend getting it on a sale.

You should read it. It’s short, and easily available. I read it just before the Covid lockdown, and I’m so thankful.
He later walked back his response (blowing people up) and advocated for people to heavily educate themselves on technology so they could guide it and combat it.
That said, it’s hard to disagree with most things he wrote in his manifesto.

The Transformers wiki is perfect.
Why the fuck did Hasbro release Transformers that don’t transform, though?

- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 1 week ago:
Yeah, Nova has been dead for a while now. I thought there was a fork, but I’m just now finding out that’s no longer in development.
I’ve migrated around other launchers, and I now use μlauncher, which fulfills my needs for a minimalist launcher with function.

A fellow Bonanza Bros. enjoyer? Yeah, you’re definitely going to like DEADBOLT.
- Comment on Moder games with Abuse-like controls scheme? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing DEADBOLT since the demo came out on GameJolt in 2015. Probably my favorite game with a control scheme like that, and it’s made by the original devs of Risk of Rain.

Just hopping in to suggest the NASB translation to anyone reading your comment. Super literal and requires a lot of studying the footnotes.
Get one without some theologian rambling about his opinion for literally half the book (lookin at you, John MacArthur).

These guys seem awesome. They deleted their backlog in like 1992 or '93 and said they wouldn’t release an album until world peace was declared.
They didn’t really keep that promise, but their next release was “K Cera Cera (War Is Over If You Want It)” in 1993, released exclusively in Israel and Palestine after the peace deal between Israel and the PLO.
