Title: So, First Night Ronery, new apartment
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 14 September 2015, 11:01:03
I locked myself out of my own bedroom TWICE in one night.

Not used to living in this type of room that needs a key with no outside handle.


The fact that I could break back into my own room by picking the window locks only prove that the security detail is needlessly tedious, and worthless..


I will be installing all new locks and window locks once I get settled..

Only thing important in this thread is the return of onion head.

I can't promise mucho onion in the future..

Because I only have access, when the VPN works..

Alas,  it doesn't always work.

Well, that is certainly how I feel about my Egdx..

But, overall, I don't think the robbers would pass up a laptop over some keyboard they've never seen before.

Onion head is mucho importante, tp4.  You must find a solution.

Re-host them all on imgur or something.  Whatever it takes.

security window issues? try these
window wedge (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H4C6FG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000H4C6FG&linkCode=as2&tag=420usa-20&linkId=Z3KXHKWHT2DHDHPN)

i have em on all my windows, especially great when you have a window AC (i mean they could just lift up the window and enter, wtf! The velcro might look silly, but it's also a good way to install something w/o drilling holes into the frame (landlord issues). You only need 1 per window. It feels pretty impossible to HULK your way opening this window w/o basically breaking the glass.

Think about installing new screws too if you want your door to protect you. Most doors are screwed in w/ 2in screws (door jamb/bolt) which only really just does the door jamb, the 3in screws will get you into the frame/stud at least.

I could make these out of wood, and just buy some velcro no?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it against most leases to replace the locks?

Moved into my own place last week too. After a decade of living with house-mates or girlfriends it's very weird being on my own. I like it, just takes some getting used to.
