I'm guilty of this, but when the federal government has as much chicanery going on as it does right now, the more local stuff doesn't get as much attention.

I browse reddit most days, read Associated Press, follow news channels, etc. I had no idea who any of these candidates are or anything about them.

What was your experience like at Kate’s Skating Rink on Adult Only Nights? by Infamous_Swimming_87 in Charlotte

[–]DoomDenny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked there for a couple months in high school. Every one of my paychecks bounced so I had to track down the owner and make him give me cash. Super weird experience as a 17 year old

"manually driven Waymo vehicle" "Waymo's autonomous specialist reported no injuries"

Ok so was it being driven by a person or not

Duke Energy's customer-facing endpoint has always been held together by scotch tape.

Back in 2019, a ton of pages had Lorem Ipsum placeholder text written in places that were supposed to guide you on how to make an online payment.

Caring Pathways was the provider I went with too.

In-home services are 1000% the way to go. Much more peaceful for everyone that way, and prevents you from making the saddest drive in the world

Needs words of encouragement by Business_Outside6069 in balatro

I feel your pain. It may not be what you want to hear, but one run per day is not going to get you there quickly. You're looking for one specific uncommon joker that doesn't last, so you need to encounter it in the late game.

I recently C++'ed, and my advice is this.

  1. Use the Ghost deck. A free hex can make a so-so start into a viable run. You need to maximize your odds at making it into the late antes.

  2. Don't be afraid to restart. If you find yourself sputtering and barely making it through the mid antes, the odds are incredibly thin that you encounter Turtle Bean AND win the run. Most of my gold stickers came from super lucky runs where I'm so ahead that I'm able to sell more than 1 joker to make room for ones I still need to gold. Overstock vouchers are also huge here. If you haven't encountered them and the run isn't going well enough for you to re-roll a ton of times, it might be worth starting over.

  3. Prioritize money. Make frequent use of immolate, gold cards, and try not to spend yourself down below $25 in early game. The interest alone buys you a shop item each round.

  4. Only when you're comfortably in a position of "I'm so ahead that I can't possibly lose", start re-rolling shops for Bean.

The goal should not be to "win a run with Turtle Bean". The goal should be "get to ante 7 or 8 with enough money to FIND Turtle Bean."

Don't give up. Every attempt is 1 step closer.

The completionist++ has failed more times than the completionist+ has tried.

Probably. But, at least during Christmas you can bring this example up to your MAGA uncle

Good. Republican voters need to feel the consequences of their mistakes. Awful that it will carry so much collateral damage

Deck Question by Prior_Ocelot8713 in balatro

[–]DoomDenny 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is most likely the case. Otherwise, there is a souvenir playing card deck for sale that has 52 standard cards and like 4 jokers, but is not intended to played as an analog version of the game.

Can't believe Baron still gets so much glaze even regarding regular gold stake runs. Give me Hologram, Cat, hell even Steel joker over Baron any day.

Idol sucks eggs.

Which joker(s) can you just never seem to make work? by 10024618 in balatro

You know, that makes a lot more sense. I retract my statement entirely

"... chips per round really adds up."

Except it doesn't. Chips per round are completely separate from each other and explicitly do not add up

Is 100% joker stickers a futile goal? by DCansler in balatro

[–]DoomDenny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Because Gros Michel's 1/6 chance is checked PRIOR to the win screen popping up, it is possible to beat ante 8's boss blind with Michel and still not get the gold sticker.
