When you do the same lock over and over you start to understand the process. However, you start to memorize how that lock works and I feel you then are not picking anymore. You need to then move on to a harder lock. If you can't do it that's good ass you now must learn all over again.
Don't worry you won't wear down the lock.

Even if you're right, Tech, I'm pretty sure UMBC didn't pick his lock thousands of times in less than 24 hours.


Spider, I know your just pickin holes, but I never did say in 24 hours, wherd ya get this from?

And for the record, I'd much rather try to open a new lock than a beat-up dirty gritty rusted old one that's been used hundreds of times.
I knew ths was gunna get sed, thats y I sed (to some degree)

BTW, who won survivor Amerian tribal council thing? (not amber, but voted for 1 million? hope it was Rupert :))

He said that he'd just started picking locks yesterday. You explained that your lock got harder to pick after thousands of times picking it. I pointed out that he couldn't have picked the locks thousands of times since yesterday. Sorry if it wasn't a clear train of logic, hope it makes sense now.

I guess I shldv kwoted u | sumthin so I wuz ezer to undrstnd wen I sed that.
