Good luck man.  That's a load of crap.  Welcome to the bureaucracy that is higher education.

The guy at the Chevron Extra mile likes when I had him 21.38 when my bill is 11.38 instead of him having to count change for a 20, he can just give me a ten back.  I've had kids at other places hand me back the extra money and start making change from the 20.  I tried to explain it to them, but since they had already typed 20.00 into their register, they would have had no idea how much change to give me.  It even tells them on the screen how many of each bill or coin to give back.

my friend wants to keep getting better, he said his goal will be able to pass a 7 pin, re-keyable industrial commercial lock, he thinks they have 2 standard pins, and 5 serrated security pins, have you any experience with these ones?

Every pin stack has multiple sheer lines to facilitate a change key. This actually makes it easier to pick the lock.  I've only had one of them that would always pick to control instead of operating which was fun because usually control is a royal pain in the ass.

while he has nothing planned for a while, he has been frustrated in the past by the best re-keyables, he would like to be able to pass these within 5 minutes in the future

they are 7 pins and have very narrow key ways, he thinks it was best cores but took stanley keys?

Best, falcon, and a bunch of other manufactures make very similar interchangeable core locks.  Stanley, Ilco, and a bunch of other manufactures make generic keys for these locks as well.

lol, my friend ordered the 20 piece southord, not bad but quite expensive for just a few pieces of thin metal

are the high priced 200 dollar pick sets worth it?

I started with buying 3 or 4 individaul picks from Southord and a few different tensioners.  That lasted me a lot of locks until I needed slim and/or euro picks to get into locks with tighter keyways.  Most of the large sets come with a bunch of stuff you'll almost never use.

Now I have spent a lot of money on a bunch of different kinds of picks and I have a code cutting machine.  Still don't have a duplicator yet, but I haven't needed to make multiple copies of many keys lately.  I like to buy locks without keys, pick them, gut them, then make keys for them.

Nope 200$ picksets are for rich kids who don't understand jack shit about picking, costumize your southord set instead or file your own picks out of springsteel. I'll post some guides regarding to this soon, but one of the best tips is to shrink tube the handles of your picks. Believe it or not this helps a lot. Re-keyable Locks are no different to manually pick than any other, the only difference is you can't use standard bumpkeys for obvious reasons. Instead of getting a 200$ pickset I would suggest to get a similar lock and mount for it, practice makes perfect

I've got the Peterson Phoenix Ultimate Government Steel set with plastic handles but I got it on a great deal from a member of a locksport forum.  I had bought Peterson pry bars and a few individual spring steel picks.  I really liked them and eventually broke or bent the spring steel ones and was looking at ordering some government steel ones when the deal on the set came up.  I've got some stuff I didn't want/need but it's a great all around set and the deal was hard to pass up.  The nice thing about it is that it's got a bunch of different hooks verses all of the weird stuff you find in Southord's larger sets.

Yup exactly the stuff you also use on wires.

These days I mostly use this as a tension wrench:

As it allows me to apply tension/pressure way more precise, this is essential for some lock, also as you can see the tension hooks are much smaller than any wrench. Use what works best for you, although the twisted southord tension pick is one of my all-time favorites but that's just personal preference

That's some gimmicky junk.  I love my Peterson pry bars for TOK or BOK tension.  I also use the Southord standard twist wrenches a lot too but it only works for BOK tension.  I probably have more tension tools than picks right now.

assuming this will be useful when you pick a lock and you did it in the wrong direction too, correct?

Not just picked it in the wrong direction, but sometimes a lock will pick way easier in one direction than the other so it sometimes is easier to pick it in the "wrong" direction and then spin it back the other way.

have you seen my cock lately? it is called a fresh email in registration you lazy fuck.

When I made the request registration was closed. Do you often fly off the handle like this? Are you compensating for something?

Back on topic, I can make another account but would prefer to keep this one. If it is a problem to get my name changed just let me know and I'll make another account.

I have no problem with you changing your username 

I know this is old, but I have an old Aiwa stereo with dual casset decks, 5cd changer, aux ins, etc. and it's 200 watts and the speakers are bi-amped.  One speaker cable has a blue RCA plug on it and the other is two bare wires.  Is that similar to yours?

I would suggest finding a regular receiver for a home stereo system that is capable of running bi-amped speakers.  Bi-amped means that the mid/high and low are powered by separate amps and that the frequency crossover is done inside the amp/receiver and not in the speaker.  Then you can get a 1/8" to dual rca adapter and plug in that way.

Well I registered with the email address easy-e@totse2.com so a mod can verify that.

We got DoSed and I had no way of letting people know what happened. Our host's ISP null routed our IP address and shut down our account. I tried to get another server up for a few weeks but ran into a bunch of issues. I didn't give up but I was already fed up with the direction of the site and the time /money wasted trying to keep the site up.

I know it's late and this isn't the apology people have been looking for. At this point I'm not sure we even want to bring totse2 back. Arnox seems to be doing a good job here. I can point the domains here so refugees can find it. I can also look into hosting a backup of the site somewhere.
