    Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys

    I thought the same

    It would be easier to steal keys off of someone’s desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that’s a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

    Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you’re wrong in my field of expertise

    Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I’m not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I’d have to say it’s probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I’m 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

    Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master’s m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn’t y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage’s SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.


  • Oh, sorry, i thought we were shitposting on a meme. Ok, serious lore stuff.

    The Valar (gods) would not be affected by the Ring. Yes. However, the undying lands are also inhabited by Maiar (wizards, balrogs, etc.) and Eldar (elves) who could most definitely be corrupted by the Ring. After the attack by Ungoliant and Morgoth on the Two Trees of Light the Valar were very picky about who could enter Valinor. Hell, they sundered the seas just to further control access to their shores.

    So I think it’s pretty safe to say the Ring would not be permitted access to the West, directly prevented by the Valar themselves. They would never permit the taint of corruption in their own halls

    Heh heh, taint
