Telling yet another death metal enthusiast why it's not cool to diss music for not being brutal and true. Sigh.

[Bauglir]

To whichever asshole engineer designed my bedroom door's knob:

Self-locking from apparently the force of being closed is not a security feature. It is further not a feature if the only way to unlock it is to spend an hour after you meant to be asleep finding a length of wire and repeatedly inserting it it into a tiny hole on one side of the doorway until you finally hit the correct spot because you were too lazy to design a proper key, although I at least thank you for the mercy of including any sort of mechanism for fixing this and for not requiring me to buy the door dinner first. Nevertheless, fuck you with a horse. Not by a horse, you understand, but with one.

Next time, use a nail, or the insert of an ink pen. Just push straight in. Failing that, get a pocket knife or credit card or screwdriver or something flat and rigid, and push the tip straight in between the doorframe and the door itself, a little bit below the doorknob mechanism. Slide upward until you've wedged it in said mechanism, and push away from the door. Voila, you've picked the lock.

What band was being dissed?

Some italian band that resembles Dimmu borgir or so, not that it matters, insulting music because it isn't your style is childish and silly and so common among death metal fans compared to everywhere else. Atleast in my experiences.

It's fair not to like something, but to spend your time insulting it and finding reasons for why it sucks vs. your favourite music is just aggravating.

Tried. No sufficiently long nails and the ink pens available were too flimsy to apply enough pressure. Likewise available paper clips. Similarly, I was prevented from applying that other trick because the door frame hangs over the edge of the door on this side, making the only angles at which something can be wedge in too steep to reach the latch. Seriously, this whole door is bitchy.

AAAARGH! My brother used my computer, logged onto my user account, deleted all my firefox tabs, and probably downloaded a dozen viri too!

I think I'm gonna commit arsehole-cide when he comes home.

When in doubt, C4!

No, but seriously just start carrying a lock-picking kit. I do, and the temptations never cease.

[nenjin]

His door didn't have a formal lock, but one of those ghetto ones.

That said, there's this little tool I picked up when I worked at a hotel designed for expressly that. It's a straight thick gauge steel bent into a loop on one end so it goes on your key ring, the straight part is about 3 inches long. It's about as wide as the inner tube of a pen.

And I ALSO own a lock pick set and I would recommend getting one. What I WOULDN'T recommend is carrying it with you.....If you're not a licensed locksmith and a cop finds those on you, be prepared for a lot of questions and suspicion and possibly a trip down to the pokey.

Picking locks is just fun though and is every bit as involved as one imagines it from roleplaying games.

This is a medical warning to avoid any candy products that label themselves as "sugar-free". The full effects of yesterday's complaint about them were... delayed. Painfully. Bluh.


Oh, and stupid bus. Late again. Perhaps I should get a schedule from the morning bus and hand it to the afternoon bus' driver. I get the feeling that if I ask him what time he's supposed to be at the stop, he'd respond with "I dunno ".

Let me guess, you did not read the small print that said "warning, excessive intake can result in laxative effects"? :p

[Akura]

No no, I did.  ...after eating them.

[Vector]

Hmm... I wanna buy a nice set of lockpicks.  Where would I do that?
