I've bought metallic skull and bullet dice from Ali. They are perfect for board games like Arkham Horror where you have to keep track of uses on spells and guns.

I was wondering who designed those dice and for what, I just thought they'd be neat for a Fallout style RPG.
(The chances to roll triple nukes on a 3D6 based system is like 1/216 which could work for a once or twice per campaign massive event)

That is one of the real charms/dangers of the whole thing. Shipping does seem to be a fair bit faster now as well, not sure why (or if that’s just my perception).

I've got a big thing coming and the tracking managed to reveal the actual ship my carton is on. Following it by the ship version of ADSB is quite interesting. Bonus is I have people in the naval industry with realtime satellite ship tracking capabilities... sure beats refreshing a random tracking site.

Since I'm tired of my good friend the drug scale being desparaged in this thread, I transcribed the important parts of a black bean recipe that I spent a long-rear end time perfecting. Just measure out all the spices precicely and you're golden

code:
Full batch ~2170g viable beans

Add all in order, stir
Pressure cook 42min
Quick release, strain immediately, cool beans on baking sheet
Reserve liquid for bean soup base

 885g	dry black beans, weight prior to rinse
2900g	filtered water
  65g	lard
  50g	better than boullion chicken
 150g	frozen chopped white onion
  30g	lime juice bottled
   8g	liquid smoke

16.55	salt
 6.06	garlic powder
 0.50	white pepper
 0.58	oregano
13.59	msg
 0.22	cilantro leaves dry
 3.25	black pepper
And since it mentioned the soup, here's the little bit of extra

code:
Add all to nonreactive pot, stir
rough chop tomato
medium immersion blend

500g	bean cooking liquid
300g	beans cooked
200g	tomato canned whole/crushed

Add remaining, stir
low simmer to finish

100g	beans  cooked

9.88	salt
7.67	lime juice bottled
0.34	paprika
0.37	cayenne
(toss in a couple thick slices of sausage or similar)

Careful now, you almost dropped 6.07 grams of garlic powder in there instead of 6.06!

For realz though a 1.0 gr. resolution is fine for most things, 0.1 resolution for flavourings and a 0.01 is probably only needed for insanely concentrated stuff like raw essential oils.

In the interest of scoring some meaningless internet points education I used my lovely AE scale advertised 0.1 gr. Resolution

Here's what about 0.2 grams of paprika* look on a standard teaspoon:


Obviously if you need a scale able to accurately measure a 1/20 portion of that you're basically counting tiny grains.

*gently caress garlic powder that's for scrubs who don't know the value of a fresh bulb.
