To get the full features, I personally use a couple different items, there are other locks on the market that do most of the included without needing a home automation system, but I cannot comment on them to the same degree.

Cheaper locks tend to have higher variations in design (higher design tolerances). That actually helps pick the lock tremendously as each pin you push on has just a teeeny bit different thickness. That lets you rotate your tension wrench, and immediately feel which ones were pinned against the cylinder wall. Since the…

I had to learn to do physical security assessments for IT data centers so I learned to pick locks and bypass a lot of security measures. I shared your assessment, most locks are just there to keep the lazy folks honest. For IT wise, you’d be astounded at how many high tech security systems are on doors, but failed to…

They are using tech to hang out with the people they actually want to hang out with rather than whoever is local. Besides, it’s a good way to keep up with high school or college friends after everyone has moved away. Never done it myself, but it seems like a decent approach.

In fairness, they had those within 24 hours of the release, even without the creation kit. Nexus has something like 4 or 5 HD mods for this. On the plus side, once they get that out of their system, that’s where the real creativity shines.

Only a few thousand miles (it’s a 2016). That said, I’ve been following the CherokeeClub forums for a while and while initially a very major issue, the complaints are at least tapering off. I can say that mine almost never hits 8th, and has never hit 9th under any circumstances, so maybe they just turned it into a 7…

Just bought one, I didn’t see the options for the low end w/ lockers on the non-Trailhawk.

Seems like they finally got those sorted out in the 2016s - mine shifts fine, which is just anecdotal, but I’m hearing less chatter about it on the CherokeeClub forums.

I’d add that Evernote has an add-in for Outlook. Between that and the web clipper, it’s radically changed how I do research and archival.

This post just highlights what is missing from Fallout 4 that many of the other prior releases had - peace quests / cooperation options. Convincing BOS, and the Enclave to focus on Cesar’s Legion was a pain, but it was possible. Fallout 4 is decidedly monotone, you can pick one and only one faction to “win” with.…

You can rotate quite a bit inside the bag, including being a stomach sleeper, the hood just doesn’t follow. So if you’re one who tosses and turns a lot, bring a warm hat or balaclava, loosen the hood and you’re good. I tend to “rotisserie” myself, although stomach sleeping in camp gear tends to suck a bit as my…

I’ve always stayed away from Amazon’s cloud storage due to their End User License Agreement, despite actually paying for cloud storage and being a Prime member. Last time I checked, Amazon reserved rights to do analysis on all of your images (Similar to Google Goggles if you’ve heard of it), XIF data (GPS…

Yes, but the upper limits on portable chargers is pretty insane. There’s a big gap - it goes from portable, to luggable. http://gearjunkie.com/enerplex-mobil… Solar charged battery packs that are larger than car batteries, generators and even charge packs powered by camp fires. Or, just tote around a motorcycle or…

Noise canceling headphones. The engine whine leaves me exhausted otherwise. I’m a fan of Audio Books, so I just start one up and zone out with my tablet for the the ride. I always pack a battery pack or two just in case.

(Pardon the “Back in may day, Sonny....” moment)

Last I knew, Airlines still wanted an address (or at least encouraged) on each bag. Giving a trusted non-home address seems sufficiently secure while not running afoul of the folks who could make my trips miserable.

For the record, I do partake in “bushcraft” to a certain extent as called for during long wilderness treks, but I think most folks go about it all wrong. This kit isn’t so much for actual survival or even military evasion training, but instead dicking around in a wooded camp ground - in one place - for as long as you…

Something I’ve never got, why in the world do “survivalists” not just look at ultralight backpacking gear lists. I’ve covered thousands of miles with stuff half the weight of this - in comfort, with sufficiently durable gear. For the weight of the random survival cord and trading out for a lighter knife that is still…

Maybe I’m overly paranoid, but I always put an alternative address on anything that might have my house keys in/on it.

I live in Parker but I’m a consultant so I travel to clients from Ft Collins to Colorado Springs very regularly. I also do nation-wide gigs. Frankly, I think the chart is spot on. We like to complain about traffic, but after spending 6 months in places like LA and Houston, ours really is just an annoyance.
