- Comment on I need a new alarm app. 1 week ago:
A single alarm via an app works just fine to wake me up, that isn’t my issue.
Multiple alarms in a day is because I use alarms as reminders as well. ‘Remember to do x on y date at z time’. I can get quite fixated on tasks and forget to take breaks on time.
All I need is an replacement app where I can set alarms on a recurring schedule and/or at a specific date. The standard clock/alarm app that’s been on my various phones has been great until the current version decided to make this change, dismissing multiple unrelated alarms all at once instead of just the one that’s actually about to go off.
Now I’m looking for an equivalent alternative and seeing what peoples recommendations are for that.

- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 5 weeks ago:
When the shower is literally alone in its own room, that’s a little different.
I’m talking about when the full bathroom; toilet, sink, and shower, are all in the one uninterrupted space.
Did Dave piss on the damn toilet seat again, or is it just splash from the shower? 🤷🏻

OFC, this is all on my multimillion dollar yacht after all…
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 5 weeks ago:
My fav is the ones that just say fuck it and make the whole bathroom into a shower; as if people don’t keep anything else in the bathroom, like idk towels or the clothes you’re putting on after you shower…
I didn’t want a practical bathroom anyway…

148g with a google search.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 weeks ago:
What type of store is this in?
Gas stations, or department stores around me gouge the shit out of you for snacks/candy. Easily $5-6cad for a chocolate bar. A dollar store though, usually sells an Oh Henry (~58g) for $1.25 or $2 for a ‘share size’ (the 2 smaller bars in one package ~82g).
Still not great, but much better than $6.50 (USD I assume)
- Comment on This FedEx driver has never won a round of Tetris in his life 5 weeks ago:
Knowing there’s hazardous materials on board, and knowing they’ve been loaded/secured safely are two different things.
Again, not always the case; but of the ~15 different warehouses I’ve worked in, about 2/3 of them had the driver either loading the truck themselves or directly supervising the loading and giving directions of where/how they want it loaded.
Shipping containers are a little different; typically loaded and sealed with serialised one-time use seals at the warehouse, without driver involvement. But box trucks and flatbeds going directly to customer(s) are more often than not over seen by the driver that’s doing the final deliveries. Particularly when the driver is offloading at each destination.
At least in my direct experience, in my region. Different places, different standards and practices.
- Comment on This FedEx driver has never won a round of Tetris in his life 5 weeks ago:
I’d assume the vans are all parked in a lot; when the driver gets in, they’ll grab an available/assigned van, back it into a bay/dock, load up, and go.
The crew in the warehouse is just responsible for sorting it onto a pallet/bin or two, ready to be loaded.
I’ve never worked for a parcel courier specifically; but I’ve done a fair amount of distributed center work (warehouses that deliver product to businesses).
The drivers are often responsible for loading their own truck/trailer (not always, but more often than the other way around). Then they can see exactly what they’ve got, keeping an eye out for hazardous materials or uneven loads. It’s their responsibility to ensure a safe load after all; mainly as they’re the one that’ll have to deal with problems on the road.
‘I wasn’t the one to load the truck, I didn’t know there was a hazard’ doesn’t usually go well with emergency services or inspectors out on the road.

It’s my alarm.
- Comment on Emergency Alert About Wildfires 1 month ago:
All mine are swtched off.
They still come through in BC Canada. Doesn’t care about the settings; they all play anyway.
Amber Alerts, Emergency Warnings, Tests, all of them play regardless.
There’s been 6 here, since May this year. 2 of those were between 12am and 1am.

Yup, just go back inside for your change.

I set a walmart on fire once… ~12 years old, unsupervised, and playing with flamable liquids in the garden center…
Identified and spoken to by investigators, but still unpunished. I happened to be leaving the country with family in a few weeks, so they just let me go.

Something like a TSA key that fits the lock in addition to the owner’s key.
‘TSA approved’ locks have a seprate keyway specifically for TSA to open and inspect your bags.
There is something called ‘Master Keying’ (not talking about the master lock company), where you can setup the pins in a lock to open for multiple different keys. Commonly used in places like hotels and motels: one key only opens your door (this is the one given to you at check-in) and another key that opens all the motels locks, given to management/cleaning staff so they can get into each room without needing dozens or hundreds of keys.
This requires each lock to be explicitly setup with the correct pins to accept both keys. Not super common now, but you still find them now and again.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
The TSA have 3-4 specific ‘TSA keys’ (which are easily purchased), and they demand you use a ‘TSA approved’ lock which has an extra keyway explicitly for them to use. If you don’t use one of these locks, they’ll cut yours off during inspection and give it back to you in pieces, with no compensation.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
Yup, considered another type of lockpicking tool. Depending on the lock; clumsy, loud, and often ineffective. Usually defeated by security pins and/or different strength springs in the pin stacks. Plus you have to have the correct key blank for the lock cylinder you’re attacking.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
That master lock I’m familiar with, I’ve actually got one sitting on my shelf righ now. I could be mistaken; but I could have sworn those were warded lever locks; needing more than just the tip, but at least one if not two other positions to raise all of the levers as well. Perhaps I was wrong there, they may he even cheaper than In thought (I’ve not actually dissected one as they’re riveted together).
The tubular lockpick is what I posted… So yeah, I’m aware of it and it’s usage…
Or you buy the right key, which is what OP did.
This has been my point in this entire conversation. OP didn’t buy some magic ‘universal key’, they bought a regular key that happens to be commonly used. Nothing special.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
Yes, they’re only relevant to purely warded locks which are largely nolonger used in the modern world (exceptions always exist, the world isnt black/white).
In the world of pin-tumbler or tubular locks - what we’ve been talking about - the closest equivalent would be a comb pick/key, which is a bypass tool (or lock pick) that only effects poorly designed locks with compressed pin stacls shorter than the chamers their in. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these for a tubular lock, but they may exist.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
Each of the little pins you see in the ring of that lock are equivalent to the pins in a typical pin-tumbler lock you’d find on a front door. The corresponding round cutouts in the edge of the key barrel set how far each one is pushed down when you insert the key.
Yes, there’s just one little tooth that rotates the lock, but only after each of those pins are pushed down to the correct depth. These are almost always really cheap locks, so you’ve only got to be kind of close tbh, but you do still have to be close.
You’ve just got a copy of walmarts keys. (Or a near enough approximation) nothing ‘universal’ about it. I don’t think you explicitly tried to get ‘walmarts keys’, but got lucky enough with whatever random key you bought that it happens to work.
There’s no such thing as a literal ‘universal key’. There’s commonly used keys (like what a large international retailer might buy and use in bulk…), and there’s lock picking tools.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
A ‘universal’ key, IE a key that can be used to open multiple different locks. So yes, a lock pick. What were you expecting?
Not all walmarts are the same, many haven’t ‘upgraded’ to digital locks. Still an interesting tool for the arsenal.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
That’s just key, presumably a copy of the specific key that your local walmart uses; there’s nothing ‘universal’ about it.
