  1. Avacado said the lady looked 80, so I'm guessing she never saw him. My mom is almost that old and I'm glad she doesn't drive. My dad does and he does some scary * that he isn't even aware of. The video is interesting for hindsight theories. I'm glad no one got killed. Is the car considered totaled or are they going to fix it?
  2. Oh I'm not intending you make you feel bad. I was just posting our families' own driving incidents for the thread, especially what Rachel did to my rear end. Having teenagers that drive is stressful. Ethan ran over a cat the other night.
  3. I had this conversation with Ethan (16) a few weeks ago when he told he me swerved off the road but luckily didn't hit anything or anyone. Ethan: "I wasn't speeding. I was doing 45 in a 45." Me: "Ethan, I told you. The speed limit is for IDEAL driving conditions. You are a dumbass kid, driving an older vehicle with less than ideal brakes, tires, and suspension. You were also driving around a curve, at night, and the road was wet. Automatically assume everyone driving around you is drunk and on meth, getting a blowjob, hitting the obnoxious kid in the backseat and watching TikTok."
  4. Here's mine: I call it happy father's day 2022, love Rachel and Ethan. Like how the * did Rachel run into Ethan? Ethan was upset when he told me about my truck, but you should have seen Rachel's car. There is no good reason to speed. My chief told me that after I got a nasty ticket in 1998. He said "Arrive alive, shipmate."
  5. Well I would not be impressed at all if they only hit 6GHz on LN2. Phenom II C2 could do that... But if we're finally getting close to 6GHz on ambient air or water then color me impressed.
  6. I didn't see how they cooled it. I'm hoping something room temperature air/water, but I am assuming they chilled it.
  7. So they work? I didn't test those particular ones, but they were from the same batch of SSDs that I gave away here a few months ago. Glad they are faster than the HDDs
  8. Yeah something wrong with the fan or pwm controller signal. It's good that you are sending it back
  9. You're good. That chart is not accurate. @axipher can probably shed more light on that.
  10. About 2.5 hours until event start. I've not heard from @axipher so hopefully either the database above will be working or he does the manual updates. I know he's got a lot of stuff going on so everyone be patient please.
  11. I thought I was just drunk clicking again
  12. Welcome to the ExtremeHW Folding Competition, July 30th Countdown to Event Start Countdown to Event Stop ATTENTION Extreme Team Folding Participants: Please make sure you do not fold anything under your ETF GPU Passkey except for the GPU you are participating in the event with. You need to use a 2nd passkey to fold anything else in this event. In the spirit of folding for the cause and good old friendly competition between members, we are hosting another folding competition. For more details please see below. How to participate: During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902 You must post in this thread with "IN" followed by your folding username. Prizes: From @bwalker36 see his post below Folding Time Prizes: tbd Excluded from Prizes: n/a All "Folding Time" prizes will require your username/passkey to be given to the donator, this will not give them any of your personal information, it just let's them be able to contribute full points to your username. Passkeys need at least 10 full Work Units to start getting the full Quick Return Bonus. Alternatively, you could setup another passkey for your Folding@Home username with a different email address and fold your first 10 units on that. This would still put the points towards your username, but they would also be tracked by a different passkey. Please note all winners must claim within 30 days from announcement of the winners. Current Event Stats: Note: Stats are updated every hour at XX:25 for previous hour of submitted Work Units. The first update at 00:25 AM UTC will set the "zero" for your points based on all the WU's submitted up to 12 AM UTC. Good luck to all!
  13. Glad to see you. You sound like you are in a better state of mind. How are we doing as far as reaching the donor goals so far?
  14. Updated our hardware. Look out!
  15. Congrats, you ninjas unseated us! Those little Pascals are a force to be reckoned with
  16. It's going to go up a few dollars, depending on how much hardware you are folding for the 48 hours, and how you tuned it. Sometimes we get cash prizes from donors here to offset this. For our extreme team, which is folding 24/7, a lot of us are using low power hardware which helps. Be sure those laptops stay cool
  17. I don't blame you. My office is always hot because of the machines running. I'm working on a solution for that at least for my hottest rig. I'm going to install the radiator to blow out the window. I already got the long hoses and stuff I just need to put it together.
  18. One of the best things I learned about running folding@home, it's brutal. If there is even the slightest instability, it's going to let you know. Consider these monthly foldathons a very good stress test. It runs AVX very hard on the newer CPUs, and I've had a couple Ryzens that I had to turn off the boosting so that it would not crash. It's sensitive to memory overclocks in that it hates errors, particularly VRAM. For GPUs I have to dial way back the overclocks that are stable for 3D rendering, as they just aren't as stable crunching proteins. For the 48 hour foldathons, especially in the summer it's a good idea to tune for low power efficiency so you don't run up the light bill and heat up the room so much. Weak power supplies will also not manage so well. Make sure they have cool air feeding them.
  19. Yes. And any other computers just use the same key and username and team ID.
  20. Yeah like Avacado said, for these 48 hour foldathons, just let it rip and fold as much devices as you want. We have a 24/7 competition here also called the Extreme Team. That's where you use 1 piece of hardware on 1 key. I think the ETF team members should know better by now so maybe we can delete this verbage from the 48 hour competitions, but occasionally a veteran ETF member will still goof this up like my old team captain @Supercrumpet and throw off our ETF scores
