I believe the ring does have the ability to exert its magic on its surroundings. It can also change its size. So if you took this scenario seriously, I think it could break the zip tie.

I don’t get it (and I’ve read the books too).

Someone ziptied the ring to a 10 mm wrench socket. Wrench sockets have a reputation for inexplicably getting lost, never to be found again.

especially the 10mm one

It is a 10mm socket. If you own one, you have not been using it, because they always get lost. It is a running gag.

The big(10mm big) wrench wants you to buy more wrench sockets

Oh, weird. I use one regularly to disconnect the car battery and I’ve never lost any. News to me it’s a meme. Thank you for enlightening me!

Basically nobody is physically carrying it. And that is a laptop locking mechanism. So nobody could have taken it from the carrier. It’s just silly I guess.

That’s a 10mm socket wrench head on a zip-tie.

That is not Kensington lock…

You are right haha! I didn’t even notice that. Now it’s even funnier! Thanks for that. C

Haha no worries!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I’m still confused, how is this a laptop locking mechanism?

Weird I was looking for my 10mm yesterday and couldn't find it :(

So are they invisible or is only the zpzie invisible?
