At the opposite end of the power efficiency spectrum....
...I just ripped a Radeon 480 out of a system being scrapped at the transfer station. When we get to folding month at the end of the year, I'll have to try to get it going for my first GPU folding ever. LOL

Welp, its been a couple days of cleaning but I'm finally starting to see some progress!
Too bad for the EK block, which has most of the nickel plating either removed or damaged at this point. The alphacool blocks with their chrome plating took ultrasonic cleaning without issues!

To all of you with the big electric bills...go solar.
I built up credit in the spring and summer with $0 bills and exporting more than I used, and it has been getting used the last few months to heat the house via folding (and of course normal usage like holiday baking in the oven), instead of the oil furnace having to do all the work. The bill covering last month's usage that came not too long ago was a "bit" higher, but still covered by the credits.
Solar isn't cheap, but it definitely pays back!

Welp, the usual suspects had to get spun down. The ancient laptop is all that remains to fold with me through the last couple days of the event...and today I hear one of the fans starting to go on it. Hopefully it doesn't give its life for this. But I'm determined to have every day of the event as active, like I always have...even if I'm at the very bottom of the charts being a CPU only folder. LOL

Points were validated by the teams statistician... He says they are purrrrrfect

The issue with EV charging is that most people would get all of their charge at roughly the same time, and you're getting all of it within 4-6 hours, rather than spread with even load over the course of 24 hours like folding. It isn't the kWh that is the problem with EVs for infrastructure, but the raw kW demand all at once. There are certainly smart ways to handle this, but not everybody can wait, and not all circuits can handle more than a few EVs on them at once. The adoption rate of EVs is such that except in rich "everybody gets an EV and commutes far" neighborhoods, it usually isn't going to be a problem for quite some time.

FIRST is awesome! I'm just sad it started shortly after I was out of school.

That is usually included on the final update, see here for last year's final ranks for example

I know the sheet shows event points. I'd be curious at the end to see the WU count of each person added to the spread sheet.
I'll still be near the bottom, but I'd find it interesting to see, and see if the WU rankings purely match the point rankings or deviate a bunch.

Transformer lightning strikes are extra loud! Had it happen outside my house as a kid...had sparks shoot out of every outlet in the house into the air when it happened...quite an "interesting" sight for a small kid. Only lost a couple small things since we always had the habit of unplugging everything in the house before major storms in case a tree fell on a line to cause a surge to us, etc.
