Lol I know, right?

They are literally cancelling student visas with no notice and then arresting the students

The only thing I can figure is they want to push a court case to establish precedent of no due process for ICE cases. That will open the door for imprisonment without trial, which then leads to "legal" slavery. Rent the prisoners to the farmers that used migrant labor, farmers pay what they did before, private prisons make money and get federal dollars per head, and the prisoners get more prison and work until they're not useful, then deported

Remember when people were press-ganged into naval service? That, but no pirates

Yeah that "shot down" headline is inaccurate if it was on the ground already.

Actually, that begs a pedantic question. When would an aircraft be "shot down" vs …whatever one would call destroyed on the ground. Is it shot down if the pilot is in the chair? If it's moving on the tarmac? While taking off but before rotation? If it's landing and thrust reversers have been deployed? Before reversers are deployed? During flair? On final approach?

Good thing nothing like that could happen in the good ol US of A

So i don't know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.

Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there's a few different designs.

Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol

Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure

They can take hours to dial every combination of an S&G lock. Cheaper locks are quicker. Most Sentry "safe" dials can be manipulated in minutes if you know what you're doing, no dialer needed

These tools are also pretty expensive and difficult to source if you're not in the industry

Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door

Spent hours on that stupid safe.

Skill issue

I installed Plex before learning I'd have to pay for any of the functionality I was looking for. Installed Jellyfin and used the Plex folders lol

I've got a Samsung TV and am nearly a complete Luddite (in the colloquial sense).

I managed to install the Jellyfin app on my TV just by following the step by step instructions on a website
