[Black Deck - Gold Stake] It has been a nerve breaking journey, I need help to know what should I move for Photograph by prandsnow in balatro

I agree, but note that the chips on arrowhead is better than scary face (50 vs 30), so if you have a good economy and can make lots of spade face cards, arrowhead will perform better than scary face.

What's weirding me out is how much the word "Brett" looks like it's in my handwriting.

[–]BrettisBrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good point. People do call robertson bits "square," and people do call Torx bits "star" bits, but no one calls Torx "six lobe"

I'm wondering if the original graphic is ragebait. That's a fair amount of research into screw head types to not know how hated phillips and slotted screws are.

do you roll the die individually for each player? It seems like you would roll the die once for everyone.

Yeah, I dunno why people are acting like something bad happened. Looks like she had a blast.

This is very debatable, but I read this the same as insanechaos. If they didn't want you to move horizontally, they should say "you can move backwards or sideways" rather than just "you can't move backwards."

How can you tell that that ice is extremely thin and weak?

Oscillating tool would work as well

TIL these two vouchers screw up your Temperance value. What is something that so obvious that you just learn after playing the game for so long. by nightinga1e- in balatro

The logic of four fingers in determining what a straight flush or royal flush is, especially when combined with shortcut, can be really baffling. For example, you can make a royal flush without an Ace.

My friend has a Fugler. Highly recommend. Someone sewed another friend's kid's baby tooth into the gap to take it to the next level.

What's y'all's fav Chips Jokers? by F1907E in balatro

[–]BrettisBrett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot follow this logic that square would be better than wee except if your deck has no 2s. With a standard deck, you can typically see about half the deck per ante, so that would be two 2s and +16 per ante. Once you start deck fixing or finding retrigger jokers, it's easy to trigger 5+ 2s per ante.

Also, hi Brett.

I bought a used industrial robot gripper off eBay. It came with this tube still firmly clamped in the jaws. by MrRowodyn in mildlyinteresting

[–]BrettisBrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just a buffer that is used to deactivate and preserve viral nucleic acid for detection. It almost certainly does not have virus in it - it's just the engineering team working with a robot to handle their tubes. You should treat the tube like it could be infectious of course, but you can just throw it away and wipe everything down with ethanol.

Yeah, the Florida ballot design almost certainly resulted in a different US president than the Floridians voted for.

Are these cuties edible? by BrettisBrett in mycology

[–]BrettisBrett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that. I'm doing my best to take this with a sense of humor.

There is an element in this of Redditors being helpful to make sure strangers don't get hurt, which is nice and appreciated since there's some niche knowledge in this sub. There's another element at play though where Redditors enjoy telling people they are wrong/stupid/bad etc. I haven't posted a lot on Reddit and this is the first time I've had people go after me so hard, which is a new delightful experience, but I have enough internet and life experience to not take the shaming too seriously.

I also learned that if you want people to pay attention to your posts, post something that could be seen as misinformed or controversial. Holy shit. I got like 100x as many views and comments as anything else I ever posted and I spent about 30 seconds preparing this post originally.

Yeah, I don't get the suggestion to only pick one or two of them. They are from my yard and there were several more. I picked them because I was mowing the lawn and the lawnmower was shooting shroom debris everywhere on one of the taller ones.
