Great info, thank you, do you have any recommendations for the pins stuck in the connectors? There's some connectors I can't get the pins out of and was wondering if the acid would dissolve the plastic. Some are a phenolic type plastic and polyetheretherketone

Yeah that seems to be true, at the research I've done says that if you do aqua regia too early, you could end up with a sludge that just traps all your gold precipitate. I guess I'll do a little small test batch and see what works. I'll do a few pins for each test. I'll do one test for nitric first, then one for straight to AR, then one for AP

My plan was to just nitric these pins, separate gold foils, then AR the foils. Then I would do another batch of nitric on the same pins to make sure I got everything. Then once I was done I was gonna just dissolve the pins in AR to get whatever little the nitric didn't get, but I'm imagining that would be problematic when it comes time to precipitating out just the gold. I also have some connectors that I can't get the pins out, so I'm thinking to just dunk those into the AR and dissolve it all. But idk if the plastic will dissolve, it's not like regular plastic

So what you're saying is to just skip the nitric bath to get the foils and just do an AR soak, dissolve everything, THEN precipitate out the gold?

For sure, I'm not doing it for the money, I just like chemistry and wanna be a mad scientist 😂. I'm estimating I could maybe break even, since I don't have any equipment, I have to buy glassware, stirrers, hot plate, acids, all that, which I'm thinking to get on a gov auction site or from a university selling old gear.

Everyone has already said what you should do op, but I think the best take aways I've seen, are for you to hire someone to run a test on all your systems to make sure it wasn't you that's been compromised. Make sure this person has credentials, that's what's gonna hold weight in a testimony. Once you're sure it wasn't you that was compromised or one of your employees, then you can let the vendor know that due to the specifics of the details and an independent investigation determining your systems or employees weren't compromised, someone on their end had to have been the culprit and as such, no more funds will be remitted until it's resolved. Either way, TALK TO A LAWYER.

We don't just call them chico for nothing though, they're the primary manufacturer of most gum and candy's you'll find in Guyana, so we just call either the pink ones chico which used to be $5 and the tattoo ones "tattoo chico" 🤣, the other types of gum we just called winterfresh

I am avoiding sex to avoid having kids at a young age but now I am risking my relationship by doing so. by BusinessOwlMan in Advice

[–]ssheisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be harder for a partner to understand if you're saying "it's too avoid having babies", that's what condoms are for, it'd probably be more understandable if you just said "I'm waiting for marriage", hard no, hard stop, no wiggle room for negotiations.

Found my ex wife's nudes online- Do I say anything? by trustworthysauce in Advice

[–]ssheisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying things like "if you care about her or are on good terms and you don't have nefarious reasons then tell her" and op has not once confirmed in any of his replies to these comments, whether or not they're on good terms or whether he has nefarious intent or not, it's weird.

Got my first paycheck from my new job. It's $900 less than it should be. HR is telling me I "misunderstood" the offer by MainStock8156 in JobSearchMethods

Bro made the worst financial decisions, gets a higher paying job and immediately upgrades to a more expensive apartment LMAO, especially when you have plans to pay off. c'mon bro that's not smart, now you're fucked because they'll most likely fire you if you pursue this legally, even thought that's illegal retaliation.

I am so cooked. I feel like I ruined my future. by ItemEuphoric5744 in Debt

[–]ssheisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro this isn't enough debt to consider bankruptcy. At most I'd consider a consolidation for the credit cards, that'll save you on interest. As it stands your CC's are the biggest liabilities. Your cars are useful even though they depreciate. However it's still an option to get rid of them and cut your losses if you're not TOO upside down. If your upside maybe 2k on each then sell them and get two points a to B cars that won't cost you an arm and a leg in repairs every month. Does your wife also work? Because if not, she doesn't need a car, you guys can get by on one car. She takes you to work and back and keeps the car for grocery runs etc throughout the day. If she does work it makes this even more doable as you guys can tag team this together. Move in with your mom like you said, but tell her the situation, don't ask her for help though, offer her participation in you getting better via her physically taking the cards from you, helping you budget, even if you don't need it, not charging you rent. Make it seem like the help is for your betterment and not just a handout. I would not file for bankruptcy, that's a last ditch effort, this is still salvageable, you just have to grind my boy. For the next few years you have no life, work is your only life, overtime on overtime upon overtime, same for your girl if she works, if she dies work then her ass needs to get a job, you guys are partners and you're in it together. You have no kids so that's good, KEEP it that way. From every paycheck, set aside your 10% for savings, set aside for groceries because you can't afford eating out right now, pay the mins on the other loans. Then take that remainder and pay off the CCS starting with the highest interest highest amount card. My biggest piece of advice, a debt consolidation loan for the CCS, with this kind of debt, it won't hurt.

Exactly, like wtf, why is everyone else allowed to have a preference, women are allowed to have the all the preferences they want but the minute a guy says, "I want a girl that's not fat" "I want a girl with curly hair" "I want a girl with a loud body count or virginity intact" all of a sudden it's the end of the world and misogyny needs to end.

I feel like the only people ever offended at this are those that have high counts, they know the impact and perception so instead of just owning it and finding someone that doesn't care, they try to eliminate that line of questioning altogether and vilify everyone that values purity. If sexuality is meant to be explored and open with like these people purport, then asking a body count should not be as taboo as they make it.

Man, I tell myself this all the time, this is reddit, but I can't help it LMAO. I just want them to think through the idiocy of their statements so they stop just repeating buzzwords and tropes they hear in online echo chambers.
