    Any info on how the couple that found the safe while magnet fishing opened it?

    Farmer John: "Honey, I'm tired of worrying about our life savings in that safe, so I threw it in the river." Farmer Jane: "I understand baby. Did you spin the dial before you threw it in the river?" Farmer John: "Doh!"

    Any info on how the couple that found the safe while magnet fishing opened it?

    I'm familiar with most safe-opening techniques (don't ask), but what baffled me is that the couple apparently had no trouble opening it right there on the bridge where they hauled it out of the water. So strange...

    Any info on how the couple that found the safe while magnet fishing opened it?

    Yeah, but I'm not familiar with any non-brute-force (or non-time-consuming) techniques. If there is some locksmithing shortcut that I'm not aware of, I agree that we should not discuss it here. I'll ping my locksmith friend to ask about that possibility.

    Any info on how the couple that found the safe while magnet fishing opened it?

    It's great that they found $100,000 (waterlogged) in the safe, but I haven't been able to find how they opened it. You would think that a rusty old safe would be pretty hard to open, but the news stories just gloss over that bit. Has anybody seen how they did it...

    Engineering Applying Kirchoff's law for a circuit with 3 DC supplies

    I didn't go through the detailed calculations, but it looks like your approach is okay. Can you back-annotate the voltages in the circuit and check yourself that way? Or another good trick is to re-solve the problem using KCL node equations to see if you get the same answers.

    LASER Applications help please

    We do not edit wrong answers for you here. What-all are the properties of lasers that you are using? So far I think I see three: intensity, coherence and collimation. Are there any others? Where did you find those properties?

    Medical Insulin resistance and external insulin

    I only skimmed the articles, but I think they were saying that in T2DM the insulin that is produced can be defective in some ways. I'll have to read the articles in more detail...

    Can't share my engineering experience here.

    The problem with your thread start was that it was a personal blog entry by you. PF does not support user blog entries.
