T32 EOC WIR 13Nov20: Shhhhh.... I'm sleeping.

[don256us]

I'm currently sleeping and am not to be woken up. Therefore there will be no... Oh OK. You got me. I'm not sleeping right now. Little late but I'm working on putting it out in the next few hours. I'll just edit this post to add it in. In the mean-time, double check your rigs while waiting on my sleepy @$$.

All right. So earlier, you caught me lying about being asleep. I wasn’t but I did take the day off and I did sleep in so I got that going for me. There was no update last week so stats got lost. Please, as always, please post your achievements below.

Team Conquest/Threat List

PC Games Hardware	6.4 months	the same from 6.4 months.
SLAC	6.6 months	down from 10.6 months.
Taiwan Team	1.3 years	up from 1.1 years.
Heise Falter	2.7 years	down from 3.0 years.
Compute Canada	3.0 years	WAY up from 1.9 years.

Holy cow! Are we starting to see the folding game going back to normal?! Our friendly adversaries seem to be slowing as a whole. This could be trending to where we have a fighting chance to get our world leadership spots back. I mean, we will get them back so we’re only talking about the “when” of it. It could be sooner than I thought. We’ll see.

I took a break here to cut my hair. Not to get my hair cut but to do it myself. So if you’ve ever seen me, you’ll know why I look like I do. I’d fire my barber but he is me so… We are looking good here. Numbers are just around 100 and the ave. ppd is up which we can contribute to the Nvidia driver update and (more importantly) increased production from you all. Great job and keep it up. The fake summer in fall season is over and the cold is here to stay so fire up any extra rigs and let’s get cookin’!

36 of ya’all. I do believe that this is another record. I’ve been seeing some competition amongst teammates over the last few weeks and I think what we are learning is that winter is the time to do it. If you want something easy, challenge one of our southern folders in summertime. Want a challenge, hit up guys in the winter. Some great fun to watch. Thanks guys.

I’d also like to note that there are new names or names we haven’t seen in a long time on the leader board. Great job and hope to see more of ya.

Congratulations to everyone on their hard work and earned goals.

Build, Borg, Recruit.
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
It’s not how much you fold but if you fold.
If you fold, then you’re my friend.
Keep your stick on the ice.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Everything is within walking distance…. if you have the time.
SEND IT!
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Where ever we go that's where we will be.

Please provide another cliché here.
Until next week…

Thank you!

Thanks! I had a hiccup when my secondary machine got stalled on a forced windows update. However looking at the numbers, it appears that my 2 card machine was producing 5m ppd and my 4 card machine is only doing about 6m ppd. I'm going to have to look at the settings between the two machines.

So should I get my RTX 2060 laptop folding on my quest for top 100 on the team?

I wouldn't recomend it. Laptops love to get too hot for my comfort.

I agree, unless you can leave it in an unheated garage once the snow falls up there in the great white north.

I live in an apartment so no unheated space with electricity unfortunately. Guess I will just have to wait until I upgrade my GPU for a boost in my PPD.
