I have to think that all those rigs were really adding up to a huge heat load to your A/C system. Double the power or more of winter folding.
Cya on the flip side.

Shutting down is a hard thing to do.
Thanks for your service

Is it really that hard to upgrade the cooling to withstand high temperature operation and move the machines to where the heat is not objectionable? Dell has some servers specifically designed for continuous operation at up to 104F ambient (up to 113F for a short time) and from the few I have worked on, the only difference is more powerful fans.

It is not the machines handling the heat that is the problem. The problem is my Central A/C Unit handling the heat the machines are putting out in a small apt.

I have 2 rigs still running and the A/C seems to be handling everything quite well. At least not running constantly.

During the summer (now!) my wife is constantly complaining about how hot my computer makes our room. She likes the extra warmth in the winter though...
Maybe I can parley this into justification for a couple of GTX 970s to replace my hottie HD 7870 cards
BTW we don't have A/C and swamp coolers don't work in our present unusually humid hot conditions. We're usually very hot, but bone dry and the swamp cooler works great.

Don't worry about it, I'm down for summer too, I have a few CPU clients going and I put through the occasional GPU unit, but that's it.

I agree with the others here, no apologies needed.
Perhaps a psychological professional could get their PHd based upon research into the psychological implications of why we "Fold" and how it affects our actions and emotions?

For me, the time my mom got cancer (she's cured and doing well now) was a big motivation for me to Fold, and to a lesser extent, friends having to deal with a relative or one of their friends getting cancer also motivate me to Fold. There's also something about using otherwise wasted resources to help others.
If only Folding could help depression as I have a good friend who is suffering from it... (I suppose it could, indirectly, in cases where they or someone else suffering from cancer is the root cause.)

Indirectly it can yes
I actually get quite upset when I can't fold. Folding is powerful, I feel good knowing that my GPU's are putting out very useful results.
In short, folding makes me happy.
I'm a lifetime folder, I have 0 plans on stopping.
