Lost your car keys permanently.I can save U money?



katana asked:

I thought I would post this. I locked my keys in my truck. I had a friend try to unlock my door with a coat hanger. Did not work. I called a locksmith that was .10 miles away from me…..right accros the street from me….literally!! . $89 friggin dollars they said to walk across the street and open my door with their slim jim, that takes about 5 minutes!! So I called the dodge dealership near me (I have a Dodge Ram 1500) and asked them if they could possibly make me a duplicate key for my truck. They told me that all the proof I needed was a valid drivers liscense, and a valid paper that has your VIN#, your name, and your vehicle description on it. I gave them that and I had 2 new brand new truck keys given to me for….ta-daaa….$4.00!!!. Just a good tip for all.

Locked myself out of my bedroom – how can I get back in?



james asked:

I have pets in the room and would like to get in quickly. There is no small hole on the doorknob; it's a regular lock. Furthermore, the door swings IN and as such the hinges are on the other side. Is there a way to destroy the lock (hardly ideal) or otherwise open it without calling a locksmith? Thanks.
Also, since the door swings inwards, this means part of the wall extends a tiny bit in order to "catch" the door so it can't swing outwards – this effectively blocks the gap between the door and the wall, making the old credit card trick invalid.
I'd rather not damage the door; damaging the lock would be of little consequence to me. It's a ground-level room with one window access – unfortunately this morning I locked the window because it was too drafty for my snake.

In Which State Will the GOP Pull Voting Shenanigans in November?

Question by tipscommissar:

What do you think? Everyone was so focused on FL last time that OH was a bit of a surprise.

I am predicting that it will be whichever state has the most electronic voting machines. How can I find out which state has the most? Personally, I refuse to use them when offered, even though it means waiting a few minutes longer. I mean, that guy opened one with a minibar key last year, another guy opened one after taking a photo of a key from the machine maker's website to a locksmith. And there were all of those computer science students who hacked into voting machines in less than 20 minutes.
