remember that when picking a DOOR lock, you have to apply a little bit of pressure to your tension wrench (the thing that you use to turn the knob). too little or too much and you wont be able to pick the door open. you can use anything for the tension wrench. a bobby pin. bits of wire. a paper clip. etc.
its best to be completely silent when youre picking locks bc theres this small ‘click’ when youre picking that you might miss if youre using headphones or listening to music.
.
if youre picking one of these
you jam something thin and long above one of the rotation dials and you push up on the shackle.
. if its one of these
you get yourself some shims. (or make one. you can make shims out of fucking soda cans), you wiggle them in the tiny space between the shackle and the body of the lock, and you pop these suckers open.
. for a chain deadbolt,
you get something flexible but sturdy and you just push this fucker down
. for one of these rotating combination locks
you can also shim this motherfucker open. jam your shims between the shackle and the body and pry it unlocked. if, for some reason, you dont wanna shim it open, maybe you dont have a shim or you just like a challenge, this bitch can be decoded ridiculously easy. heres what you do:
spin this bitch to the right about two or three times to “reset” it. then you pull up on the shackle a bit, and turn it right slowly until you hear a click. your number is two spaces further. then you turn left 360 degrees until you land on the right number again, and start turning this motherfucker left until it stops. when it stops, turn right. if its loose, its the wrong number, keep going left. if its not loose, you have the right number, and you turn right all the way until this bitch pops
.
now you know how to pick several common locks!!!!! congratulations!!!!
don’t mind me im just reblogging
Yall need to look up the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube too, he’s amazing.
His videos are always so blazé, like ‘here’s yet another fucking disappointing lock to pick’ and he’s so good.
Twelve years have passed since the fateful 2009 coup in Honduras by the oligarchy, private companies and the leaders of the Catholic and evangelical churches. We cannot and should never forget that the coup was supported by the U.S. government, at that time headed by Democratic President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This crime against humanity is responsible for the deepening of the crisis and social, economic, and political chaos in which Honduras has found itself ever since.
The heavily restricted “Terrorism” category, which makes up over 50% of
the entire list, is almost all of Muslim, South Asian, and Middle
Eastern ppl and orgs. Armed right-wing militias in the US are placed in a
far more permissive 3rd tier, subject to the lightest restrictions.
[…]
The Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, among other right-wing, heavily
armed anti-government militant groups, are all placed in the least
restrictive Third Tier of the policy, in striking contrast to the
demographic makeup of those placed in the highly restrictive First Tier.
“Due to the company’s mimicry of federal terror sanctions, which are
meant to punish international adversaries rather than determine ‘dangerousness,’ it is Facebook policy that the likes of the Iran
Tractor Manufacturing Company and the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund,
a U.K.-based aid organization, are both deemed too much of a real-world
danger for free discussion on Facebook and are filed among Tier 1
terrorist organizations like al-Shabab.”
On this day, 3 November 1918, a few days after the Wilhelmshaven revolt where German sailors refused to embark on a suicidal offensive against the British, thousands of sailors and civilian supporters marched in Kiel and marched on a military prison when mutineers were being held. Police and soldiers confronted the demonstrators and opened fire, killing at least nine and injuring many more. The incident marked the beginning of what is referred to as the Kiel mutiny, as thousands more sailors joined demonstrations the following day, and workers in the city went on strike. The local admiral, unsure of the loyalty of his own troops, agreed to release the imprisoned mutineers. By November 5, the red flag was flying over ships in Kiel harbour, while the mutiny spread, and the German revolution gathered momentum.
