  • Back when I was a fabricator I made some of the critical components used in Amazon stores. Amazon was incredibly particular about every little detail, even on parts that didn’t call for tight tolerancing in any conceivable way. They, on several occasions, sent us one bad set of prints after another. Which we could only discover after completing a run of parts. We’re talking 20-30 thousand units that ended up being scrapped because of their shitty prints. Millions of dollars set on fire, basically.

    They became such a huge pain in the ass to work with we eliminated every single SKU they ordered from us.


  • Regular foam 3m earplugs, or the lighter river ones on a string are as good or better than the custom molded ones, when properly inserted. They’ll down out loud sounds and you’ll still be able to have a perfectly normal conversation with someone standing next to you.

    Most people aren’t wearing them correctly. Custom plugs tend to have this long tail that goes in to your ear canal, foam plugs should go as deep.

    For a couple of bucks for a hundred of these things it’s hard to imagine that the expense for a custom pair is even remotely worth it.











  • If you are seeing this message it means you tried to abandon your run before the boss bind has been attempted. This will not be permitted. You have not purchased a mult mult joker when available, embarrassing yourself and the entire Balatro community. Your attempt to reset is a an act of cowardice. Your self destruct joker has been recycled, you will be limited to the checkered deck and you will need to beat the orange stake and try to find a good flush hand.
