It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Before y'all go out and buy one, be sure to look up videos from regular people cutting through the shackle or otherwise trying to defeat the lock.

I watched a guy do it with a single blade in two minutes. The author of the article mentions that no lock is undefeatable, and two minutes is impressive for a steel lock, but that's still within the realm of possibilities for a thief, especially if your lucrative target is a motorcycle or ebike.

Do your due diligence when choosing a lock, and make sure you know what you're buying.

Skunklock Chemical or maybe one of the cut resistant ones from ABUS or Hiplock would probably be better choices. I heard the higher end ones can take 5+ cutting wheels to get through.
