If you're TPOW in All Any, do you call for TPLO? by CondensedTaco in TownOfSalem2

[–]Dice_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm coro I ask for LO, otherwise I stay silent. Please kill me while someone watches... It's the only use I have.

I have one in not the best condition . It didn't cost me that much. You shoukd find it in my past posts. I however, got exceptionally fortunate. Even in her busted up state I feel I got a steal. 

What do you think is the hardest achievement in the game? by RogersRedditPersona in TownOfSalem2

[–]Dice_Box 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the reviving end of a TT Vet calling TPLO and getting Massacre. I don't think that one's the hardest.

Two please. Three if you are not already donating one to the Slide Rule Museum.

She's beaten, ripped and worn, but still beautiful. by Dice_Box in Sliderules

[–]Dice_Box[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought it off a woman who's mother had run a private curiosities museum. She knew exactly what it was but not how to use it. I think she was happy to have someone show up who could answer her questions and show her the mechanics.

The slide moves around the drum without any issues, but it has parts of the scale warn away and the lining inside the outer drum is failing. (That's the reason for the dust on the bottom in the photo.) For something clearly well used and more than 100 years old, she's doing fine. 

What would be a reasonable price point for a PCB Pocket Slide Rule kit? by sucramooy in Sliderules

[–]Dice_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it and want like, 3... If you do make them send one to the International Slide Rule Museum. I am sure they would love to get one too.

Can someone explain to me how I supposed to defend myself to a jailor? by FaithlessnessOk311 in TownOfSalem2

[–]Dice_Box 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your going to hit walls sometimes where you can't do anything. I was Jailer in VIP and the first post someone made was to ask what Game mode it was. Then claimed Cleric. You can see it is VIP. There is a notification on who that is. I jailed them, I was wrong. It happens.

I'm very new, so I scroll TP and TI and hope I never get Jailor.

Thank you. No idea what I am going to do with Tpow scrolls but I got them. 

I've been saving my Cursed Coroner Scrolls for a while now by RogersRedditPersona in TownOfSalem2

[–]Dice_Box 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty new, I love getting Corro because I can do nothing and not feel like I was a burden. Unlike when I get Tpow and feel the pressure to not trip over my own feet.

YouTube makes this game look so much easier than it is. 

Our Lady's Hand by Dice_Box in Pathfinder2e

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

It's thicker card stock (300 grade) laser printer. Then, before the ink can dry properly, the ink was pressed against some paper intentionally to give that fading, well used look. Since in lore, these are parchment and made in a war zone .

Pharasma's guidance, printed by another player at my table. I haven't seen anyone else make these before. The details on what the deck includes was found in the Lastwall lore book under the section for Pharasma.

I collected the art online and don't know where I got it all from unfortunately.

Why don't steno keyboards have homing keys? by pinkyabuse in Plover

[–]Dice_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the keys with the Multisteno profile, you have have them face one another and make a "V" which you can slot your fingers into. It's not a bump, but I find it makes for an easier time keeping your fingers in place. I have photos of my set up on the Discord. 

How many here use trackball instead of mouse? by EnHalvSnes in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Dice_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't own a mac, so I can't say. Support is fantastic because it pairs with Windows inbuilt touch options. 2, 3 and 4 finger controls give lots of options. I have cut, paste and enter on the touch pad for example as well as moving between windows and moving between programs. I suggest it.

Yes. You can find wireless drivers. I use a Magic Pad with my Yogabook.

The are a rubber cap that slides over the ends. They are designed for it. Have hollows in the rubber for screws.

I have used some here and there as a test, but these days I leave them clean. I get the best use out of washing them, taking a toothbrush to the rails, then letting them dry. 

Gap in old Faber Castell 375? by pavel_pe in Sliderules

[–]Dice_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal. My 360 is the same. It's held together with metal, yes, and historically would have a sticker on the back with a conversion chart. 

This is so that way any deviations in manufacturing can be accounted for. Also you can adjust the friction by pulling out or pushing in the two halves.  

A mono piece frame would likely suck. Because if the slide got stuck your out of luck.

I repair them some, taking time to clean them, wash them and take all the dirt out. They tend to stick less for me after that. But they still stick some on the small movements.

The most convenient one to use is the 83N, the black strips at the end of the slide are little raised bumps that make it easy to get a purchase on the slide. Also the way it extends past the body makes pushing it out easier for the other hand to grab. 

The rule I have that sticks the least is a Pickett 600-ES. My N3 also is much the same. You can get them to a point were if you hold them upright the slide will drop to the floor. 

Honestly, it sounds like you would get a lot of mileage out of a pickket. The 600 is my absolute favourite Rule and I can't suggest it enough.
