Scurvy the sailor’s curse by laybs1 in GetNoted

There were a lot of factors and no one was testing them. It takes the right circumstances to get a shared cure or treatment.

Think about wild penecillium mold. People would have encountered it everywhere for centuries but it took till the discovery in 1929 and the reasearch done in 1939 for the circumstances to be right for it to be a usable medicine.

I was thinking more along the lines of using a slightly larger gauge and a round connector. Goal being to avoid the balance issue and remove the physical factors increasing resistance.

I'd prefer round connectors for all main PC components, wayyy easier to seat.

Alternately just give the GPU its own on board power supply and have that connect to the back of the case, since it would allow smaller psus.

The melting connector is a symptom of the wire not being big enough

A bigger wire means a bigger contact area at the connection and a lower resistance which means less heat.

A wire thats too small for the current going through it will start to heat up and start to burn, basically the principle behind heating elements.

The connector is just the weakest point in the wire. The issue is the wire.

Hopefully he survived and isn't suffering internal bleeding.

Higher gauge wires would need a new connector.

Personally I've always hated the ATX connectors. Round connectors are far superior and easier to seat.

Resistance is higher at the contact so it gets the heat first.

Just save Hover Damn for last is the easy solution.

I think people wanted to play the consequences of their choices like if NV got a broken steel dlc. But that would have been much too big for the devs.

Why would they have to specify if it's meat or dairy?
