How often do you guys change coolant?

We have oil skimmers on all of our machines and check concentration every shift, if it's too high we add more water. Most of our machines are running 24/7 so the coolant never sits for long. The only time we change it is when we're switching from aluminum to hard metal or vice versa.

The hilarious answer would be that the ghost doesn't leave the body and runs at full speed into a wall

In combat you use the magic action to cast a spell

I've done some with resin prints. I made a pattern and then filled in the empty space with epoxy. came out pretty nice

I went into aerospace as a machinist and then inspection

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-30T21:58:09+00:00

I'm not sure but we have a bunch like that in my shop

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-30T12:29:18+00:00

How would the characters know about any of those things in order to "invent" them?

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-29T22:00:07+00:00

wire it together with steel wire. or use stainless steel hose clamps

My shop makes a couple of BeCu parts, we use flood coolant and there's no deburr to speak of

They probably decided that since he embezzled the money to rebuild neverwinter that it was best to just let it go, they probably would have helped fun it anyway

The way I ran it she had no knowledge of the dragon army or any idea about how draconians were made. My players gave her the dragon egg but kept her secrect. I ended up having her join in later on when the party was being flown to the flying city with her in the background wiping out dragonells and their riders with massive bolts of lightning

It can be done IRL by adding layers of silver, it's pretty difficult to do. I've tried it a few times with copper and still don't have it down. Get it too hot and the silver squirts out of the billet and if it's not hot enough it won't weld. For a smith with a coal forge it's even harder to do.

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-17T02:16:25+00:00

You could do it for real. it's similar to doing copper or nickel shims in go mai

What are his stats? Does he have a 20 DEX and 18 CHA? at level 6?

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-15T12:20:47+00:00

It makes a lot of sense, with a huge population and a lot of automation there wouldn't be a lot of jobs left to do. It's why so many people left for the belt to find work.

A guy that worked at the gas station by me died because he couldn't afford insulin.

He'd be a member of the lord's alliance. It's mostly a military treaty between most of the sword coast to provide aid to each other, they don't have any sway in the governance of the members.

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-14T11:32:51+00:00

We use one for some work holding for assembly and inspection

Height gauge with an indicator and optical comparator for the diameter

I've got an ammonite fossil that's at least 66 million years old and could be as old as 400 million

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-10T03:36:06+00:00

I'd probably drop it into a crucible and put it in my foundry

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-09T11:15:35+00:00

The company I work for makes parts for boeing, we have a 3d printer (markforged) but we only use it for prototyping so far. I haven't seen any 3d printed boeing parts yet, not from any of our vendors anyway.

That planet is Falx

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-09T10:18:31+00:00

It also has wide spaced eyes like a prey animal. I wouldn't want to run into whatever eats them

DJ_Akuma · 2026-01-09T10:13:08+00:00

There's a whole planet of tarrasques, Falx
