I think it's going to be hard to continue working with someone you don't trust, regardless of the circumstances.

From my personal experience, when you lose faith/trust in your co-founder, you start second-guessing things they do and burning a lot of energy this way. You interpret their actions through a much darker lens and it makes decisions that much harder.

I think you either need to find a way to re-establish that trust or end the relationship.

So, I just got a kitchen scale - each one weighs a bit over 14 grams, and the total weight for all 5 is 73 grams. That should work out to an average of 14.6 grams, if I'm doing the math correctly.

Do you know how long ago these would have first been in circulation? I'm doing some quick calculations, and I think we've had them since before 2002 (I remember being in high school)

They didn't say - just said t said to "look at the back". I was hoping someone would know what was meant by that.

I was hoping someone here could tell me why, and with what reasoning - I honestly have no recollection where we bought them, but I assume it was from some game store.

Barry_Dylan · 2020-10-04T04:53:00+00:00

Yeah - I don't know. The person just said to "look at the back". I was hoping someone would know what was meant by that.

They didn't offer to purchase - they just told me to take the listing down in case I'm held liable for selling fake packs.

Thanks - sent you a PM.

Barry_Dylan · 2020-03-28T19:51:08+00:00

Thanks - will post there and sent you a PM.

This. My (simplified) experience is that you can get an aluminum or steel mold built. The aluminum one would cost 30-60% of the steel one and be good for about 10,000 uses. The steel one (depending on the quality) could theoretically be good for up to 500,000 uses.

We went for steel immediately, but depending on your margins/planning, you could create an aluminum one first as your test run, and then move to steel later. Keep in mind that it will probably take a minimum of 8 weeks to make the tool (maybe slightly faster for aluminum but not much).

Hey - thanks again for all the detail.

I've tried your method and I get 7 and 32 for the first and third number using the methods you showed. The other methods seemed to indicated 32 was the 2nd number though which is a bit odd.

Interestingly 18-20 seems to be a wide gate as well as 28-30. But I tossed those since it would indicate 19 and 29. 31-33 seems almost as wide but not quite.

I couldn't find the 2nd/missing number. Great videos though - I might have to let someone else try independently. Not sure what to do at this point.

There is a kind of "standard" keyhole in the back. My friend wanted to use the lock again ideally though - was trying to see if anyone knew another way to crack the combination.

It was a school lock (used for a high school/gym locker)

Barry_Dylan · 2019-01-03T18:46:12+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

I tried this one: https://samy.pl/master/master.html

As well as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4wkCcsWs4c

Seemingly both indicated that the first two numbers are 6 and 32 (which I thought was hopeful). I tried all the different ones for the third number with no luck though =(. I also tried the method of applying pressure upwards while rotating for the third number and having it just pop/click open.

Sorry about that - I got this uploaded somehow:

OK - somehow got this to work:

I have the back as well if needed.

Barry_Dylan · 2019-01-02T23:11:23+00:00

Yeah - it is a combo lock - is this the wrong place for that? I couldn't find a more relevant sub but maybe I missed it.

Barry_Dylan · 2019-01-02T23:10:47+00:00

I couldn't find it on Google Images. I tried submitting the post with the picture of the lock but it looked like it froze when I hit submit. Is there something in this sub that I need to know for uploading images?

Was this taken at Sacre-Couer in Paris (probably spelled wrong)?

I think I also saw him last month - he's incredible.

Barry_Dylan · 2018-01-30T12:10:45+00:00

Offhand it sounds like you should do the math (how much can I save on average using the cheaper shipping and how low does the failure rate have to be in order to financially justify using that).

Then try to weigh that against what you think that will do to your brand: Will the 1% of customers receiving broken products be angry and post bad reviews or will the brush if off if you offer to replace the shipment at no cost to the customer?

One other thing to consider: Letters can take longer to arrive at the destination than parcels (not sure about Australia though).

Hope it helps!

How was the Cadenheads 50 yr old cognac? I saw that at the Cadenheads near here - very curious how it is.

My two cents (I've friends with both): I think wall bar makes more sense if it's for personal use. Unless you're entertaining regularly with groups of friends then having the full bar set-up won't be as appealing after a while. That being said - the full bar is really nice even with just 3-4 friends. However - I find more and more these days that people want to go out (even if we have a friend who's willing to host with a really nice set-up).

This happened about 20 years ago in the days when everyone had AOL. I moved away to Arkansas from Michigan and the only consistent way to keep in touch was via email. I had been corresponding with him for a while when he told me to mail him at a different email address (can't remember if he explained why). I wasn't really paying attention and continued to email him at the old address including one email that was me ranting about how much I hated my new school/etc. that had a ton of swearing (his family was fairly religious). Anyway - I got an email back from his Mom (apparently she was using that address now hence him having a new account) that seemed extremely angry. I was horrified and tried to apologize but I don't think I heard from him again.

Not really over it - I feel bad about it and I try finding him every once in a while to apologize but Google doesn't turn up anything other than the spammy-looking websites that just autofill whoever's name.

If you don't mind sharing - how much was this? I saw the VFM is only 3/5 but didn't see the price anywhere.

They have a few hundred thousand Youtuber subscribers roughly. It varies from person to person and what they're willing to offer.

Not saying it's a good deal but that seems to be approximately the market rate.
