'verse trivia: The Imperial electrical grid, for those curious, operates at 72 cycles/pulse, which in Earth terms is approximately 54 Hz.

(Yes, I worldbuild too much.)

Alas, this is the post in which I must admit that I screwed up and got those numbers the wrong way around, a pulse being ~ 0.75 s.

By way of apology, another trivia item:

The gift shop at the Golden Tower (i.e., Gilea and Company’s headquarters, in Mer Covales, Seranth - right outside the museum of finance on the mezzanine level) sells both gold foil-wrapped chocolates and chocolate-covered gold bars.

_The former are more expensive._

@cerebrate Did they figure out NdFeB or SmCo earlier tech-level wise given the steam-age nuclear industry?

@cerebrate Artisanly pounded gold foil (hammered by hand!) versus Let's dip cooled gold bars in molten chocolate?
