oh, man

have a good one, dude. I don’t want to waste more time talking with idiots

are you equating PhDs with overall intelligence?

that would be ironic

only on the first layer?

this shit bag site blocks VPNs with a generic access issue message, btw

before people bother trying to give them clicks

…just the ones in Congress?

decades of brainwashing and learned helplessness

also the racism

you’re on a weird mission here

I’ll keep enjoying my freedom and not being chained to paying attention to carrying around a tiny object

…were you not a kid at some point, or been around kids?

kids would absolutely fuck around and lock people in as a joke. sure, not all of them, and teaching them is important, but it is non-zero. codes/regulations exist because of dangerous but very unlikely issues

I want to replace mine with one like this. what’d you end up going with?

it is non-zero

also yes, one small key is exactly the kind of thing that can be difficult to keep track of. did it fall out of my pocket? which backpack pocket was it in? did it clip in properly? do I need to carry a lanyard now too to keep track of it?

or like just don’t worry about that at all. clear improvement.

but it can be locked and the key hidden away

don’t need to, I have it. it’s great. don’t need to carry keys around or fumble with them to open the door, people can get inside without me, it can be set up to auto-lock/unlock on a schedule if you want, and I never have to worry about being locked out of my house

yes, I have to change the batteries once a year

and in my case because my ex chose the wrong lock and I can’t be bothered to pay to swap it out, I also have to deal with a touchscreen instead of buttons

is that not a safety hazard, to have it unlockable from the inside only by key?

sometimes Mormon missionaries come to my place and I invite them in for tea and a pie and a chat

edit: also, are you the original or just took the name?

that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

and it’s not just vertical alignment, but horizontal too!

the problem with mine was that the weather stripping was pushing the door inwards, not that the hinges needed adjustment. had to move the latch plate inwards / file clearance into it so the deadbolt would catch where the knob latch let the door sit

the batteries in mine last a year and I don’t have to carry around any keys but my car keys (when I take the car).

definitely worth it. I can leave the house with nothing but my phone or bank card and run errands etc. people can access my house when I want them to without issue. it’s a huge QoL improvement for me

that said, I’d still prefer an electronic lock that had a key as well, and wasn’t a touchscreen
