You are correct, I was late to the party so I didn't get signed up for the competition. I guess I got the requirements for card prizes / badges switched in my head. Slightly kicking myself though as that rainbow badge is a pretty cool look, but I guess I'll have to stay on top of future events. I look forward to more events like this one though. Fun to see what the team is capable of.

Which site are you pulling the advanced stats from? ------------------------------------------------------------------- nvm: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=663781 follow up question: does the 15 day requirement include today? I am not certain I made the requirement for 1 WU / day as I didn't know about this until almost half way through the month. I've had more than 15 days of active folding but I usually fold at night then tell it to finish whatever is going in the morning. Would love to get the badge but if I don't I guess it is what it is.

Oh, hmmm... I probably earned them all in 2014/2015? Maybe it was a different admin? shhhhh don't tell anyone, I like my bling.

Look under badges. Creaser is 25,000,000 so you should have got contributer (21WU) and bender (1,000,000 points) as well... haha.

We're back in the top 12 ya'll! (I know I'm late but I just saw this)

The best window is no window. Here's my rig. Games a bit, folds a bit, YouTubes a bit. Acts a space heater now that it's getting cold out and my room has a large picture window that makes it colder than the rest of the apartment.

Hey all! I've folded off and on for medium stretches of time for LTT over the past 3-4 years. Currently 143rd on the team (was 42nd at the best I think back on my R9 290 when that was a modern card). This competition/challenge seems like a cool way to get people excited about it for awhile! I realize I missed signups, but is it too late to jump in? Also, do you have to be signed up here for the giveaway Luke mentioned on WAN?

6'3" with a 32 or 33" waist here. Neither?

Used this over the summer for a friend. With bigger GPUs the semi-modular is not really a problem since it only has ATX, CPU, and 2 PCIe connectors. If you for some reason only needed 1 PCIe connector then you probably could find a better PSU for your needs than a 750W model.

Wow... I just paid $400 for the 25" over the summer. I would have been tempted to drop down to this size if it'd been this cheap. I think this is an absolutely fantastic deal though; glad to see high quality higher resolution panels getting affordable for the less hardcore enthusiast at least.

Honestly the best way to shop is to look up some legit reviews if you can find them. Then you'll know how accurate the headphones are across all bands and whether they suffer from any problems or issues which may be pros or cons for you.

I can recommend these: superlux hd681

~16hrs i believe (based on a video about the mars rover I saw) Or if you could transmit the data at light speed 6 minutes during a close encounter with earth and almost 45 minutes during the longest separation.

It's disapointing that you haven't ever met someone who bought their phone outright. I have always bought mine outright, and know at lease a handful of others that do the same (college aged). It ends up being noticably cheaper over the course of 1.5-2yrs if you care enough to put a bit of time into it and get a more competitively priced phone. Now we have the Moto X PE, OnePlus 2, and Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P which are all solid devices available between $300-$500 rather than $650+ for even a basic Samsung/Apple phone. And the difference between $400 and $650 is basically $10 every month for 2 years. Just pointing out that just because a lot of people (especially Americans) have a certain mentality about upgrades and having the popular phones to fit in more or whatever, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be challenged. Honestly it takes a lot less energy to just grab an iPhone since it works for a lot of friends, it has to be at least pretty good. I think that's a bit part of the success is the extreme popularity/ advertising coupled with reasonably good testimonials from friends that lead to iPhone sales. Flagship phones never cost $50. EVER. You walk into the carrier store and give them $50-$300 bucks today, then you get to pay them $25 every month for 2 years just for the phone. If you try to leave at any point, they will just charge you ~$25xnumber of months left, so any way you look at it, you ARE paying $650-$850 for a new iPhone/Samsung phone on a carrier plan/contract. Alternately, you can get a well-priced pay-as-you-go plan sim and pop it in a phone you actually shop around for and pay less than half what you would at a carrier in some cases.
