So this is obviously not pro level stuff, but it's some interesting anecdotes and some fun with safe lock.
Though it's aimed at total laypeople it's still enjoyable at the hobbyist level (at least where I currently am at )
It's also a good lesson on why tolerances count and why not to choose birth dates.



(Squelchtone if you read this: I can't post it on the open section of lp101, can I? Since it's safes and combination it would need to be posted in the advanced. I wasn't sure so if I don't get the green light I'll just post it in the closed section )

That's why I don't spend time on 101. Their silly rules about having to post a million comments in the baby section before getting entrance to the advanced area is just frustrating.

Awesome!

On todays usual safe locks the tolerances are about 1 to each side usuallt. But that techniqhe would be fabulous. I may write down a list of combinations for that and post it.

Thanks for sharing!

Well I really like lp 101
I'm not making the rules and I don't want to criticize them. I didn't mean it as a criticism, just as an open question for mods to chime in. And I'm only not editing the part out because that would look as if sth much worse was there.

Their forum, their rules.
It's a fun little vid, I thought mostly newbies would profit from it, but I've just burned myself with posting another YT vid in the open (from the Mythbusters) and I want to avoid any confrontation with the mods there.
That's why I'm extra cautious.
So I'll wait a few days and if I don't get green light to post it in the open, I'll post it in restricted

The rules are the rules and you have to abide them in every community.

But you don't have to like them.

You may not have to like them, but every place has rules. By following the rules, you become accepted into the community whose rules you abide.

By showing respect for the rules of the place, be it a forum, a workplace, or even someone's home, you show that you are worthy of the respect you show.

I use both this site and LP101 heavily. I try to abide by the rules associated with each site. Both sites share some users, and also each has its' own following of users who only frequent that site. I have learned a great deal from users in both places, and hope I can continue to contribute to both places, as both have a great deal to offer.
