Yeah. Not to mention the fact that building likely shouldn't be there right now. If they didn't know not to store those together, they were likely doing things much more critical for safety wrong.

 

I grew up on a farm, where everything was done as jank and cheap as possible, and there were many times where my body paid the price for it. Hell, working in the rain during a record year (I think we still have that record. I have a pic somewhere of me with one of the leaves...) I broke my sternum. Handed my brother a stick of tobacco (8 plants of a stick, each stick was upwards of 100lbs), he dropped it before I moved, stick landed sharp side down dead center of my chest and I was immediately unable to breathe.

 

Never got taken to the hospital for it, not that they could have done anything

Well one thing that immediately stood out to me was how filthy it was.  Felt like an inch of dust and dirt on anything that wasn't touched regularly.  That immediately told me they never cleaned beyond what was in the way and stopping you from doing your job.  A related one was a leaky roof in an open air shop. A mop was very required.  There's a level of jank and many shortcuts I'm also willing to tolerate (but not at the cost of safety), and then there's just "lazy and dgaf about safety or codes or...". As you or someone else mentioned, there's a reason it's in the codes (frequently blood).

In other news, only a week in to the month and the LinusTechTips team has already beaten last months production total.

 

Which was also our highest production month ever on record.

Oh ok. I just tested it out. It was still able to run without fixing the error. 

Just run this and you can see it starts to run. 

cd /etc/init.d/
FAHClient

You can edit the config by entering 

nano config.xml

 

I seem to have successfully installed it, with the instructions from:

https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-issues/issues/1193

I ran:

sudo update-rc.d FAHClient defaults

Yeah. Sometimes codes are too restrictive and deviating from them does no harm, but that is usually a rare case.

 

I work in food service now and most of the stuff in that industry is stuff that needs to be done properly. Especially food temps

Usually because someone got sick or a food contaminant.

Risky business, that.  Next they'll probably start sitting on your keyboard.

Wasn't setup for a CAT (cat annoying typist) error (the lesser know PEBKAC error).

Umm, guys... I don't mean to alarm anyone...  But...

The Default (0) team just did more points than us at the last update.

 

 

This is largely in thanks to their Anonymous account seeing a tenfold increase in production over the last few updates

 

Sorry my points are not updating

I tried this, and although I seem to have installed FAHClient successfully, I can't get it to start running.  Any tips?

Nonononononono

 

What happens when the cat meets your active keyboard is an ascended level of hacking AV providers nor Quantum computing will ever be able to comprehend.

Also likely the reason why Sheets is crapping itself

Are you certain it's not running? What do you get if you type this:

tail -n 100 /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt

You see I need a tiny device as I cant be seen with it at work. I am a smoker too but 100% can't do that at work. So having it in the pocket watch pocket of my jeans means I can have a few off here and there when my client isn't with me, like if they use the toilet for instance. 

 

I'm going in the market for a decent mod to use as home as I try to transition away from smoking further.

That graph has more lightning bolts on it than a city sim game with no power to the buildings.

Also, I'm running a APC NS 1080 (deprecated but they have a similar newer model) that's done me very well so far and is good for a couple hundred watts sustained up to 15 minutes.  For a folding rig consider something beefier but for a desktop PC of the more standard variety it does well for about a hundred USD.
