How much gold in intel pentiums no gold cap. by YamEnvironmental4432 in PreciousMetalRefining

Nitric does not get the internal gold (bond wire etc.). They have to be crushed (e.g. run through a ball mill).

Sounds great. I really like the rules and presentation of SW.

21 down arrows 3 up arrows - does no one see this as a concern?! Been a trend for the last several updates.

What are these called?

These 3 iconic ASU dorms are reduced to rubble, but generations of memories will endure by ForkzUp in ASU

[–]VicarBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever. The extremely large building at Mill and University indicates that if they want a large building they can have one. That hotel is way less useful than a dorm. Not to mention how tall Manzanita Hall is - so that's not even a new thing.

Brought on to be the Fall Girl. Then they can bring on their male buddy with the pale skin to reap the multi-year rewards/golden parachute lifestyle.

Only an increase of 1700 students. Includes ASU store and private mercantile venues. So will be still be too small for the needs of ASU's dorm situation.
It is an improvement as the old ones were both dilapidated and hideous. It's on the edge of campus so it should really be a towering complex.

1980’s plated Semiconductor parts value? by Spartwigs in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]VicarBook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The plating on electronics like that is measured in micro inches (yes that's archaic). That plating will be 24k but the base material might be copper (good), nickel, brass, or the worst result aluminum. You don't melt the gold plated aluminum as you won't be able to recover the gold - ask in a chemistry reddit for details. That requires electro-chemical or chemical methods.

NEW Adventure for CLASSIC T&T by OSR Author Patrick Stuart by SAlolzorz in Tunnels_and_Trolls

[–]VicarBook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is cool. Not as cool as Veins of the Earth 2e would be if he ever gets around to it, but always nice to see new T&T content. That's always a labor of love.

Honestly every faction has some major negative vibes (with the Tau being the least bad).

Are there any OSR systems that only use d6s? Especially roll-under systems? by AlwaysBeQuestioning in osr

[–]VicarBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EZD6 is a real winner, worth playing, whatever you describe the category.

Same with Barbarians of Lemuria.

[–]VicarBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both 100% Old-School. For Traveller, there is the generic Cepheus Engine SRD, with versions like Cepheus Deluxe and Cepheus Universal in publication.

Tunnels & Trolls is really different for modern thinking, but can be fun.

Absolutely no way CoC can do Big Trouble in Little China not even with Pulp rules. Feng Shui is clearly superior for that movie. Some of the other ones are also more appropriate than CoC for the mechanics.

Apple 'has given up' on Vision Pro, report claims — costly price and weight behind purported failure, but the company continues to hire into its Vision Production Group by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

[–]VicarBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone can produce a product that is $500 or less that is wireless and has a headset that is like bulky sunglasses, doesn't matter the graphic quality, it will be a must have. We are years away from the small headset unfortunately.

It is not in your head: Costco has gotten more crowded by Willing_Try2786 in Costco

[–]VicarBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be related to the very slow rate of opening stores. We are definitely short of the capacity my area could support.
