It's heating season and your folding butts are getting kicked...
+
=


Unfortunately being a renter I can't do much more in the name of energy efficiency than seal the windows, wear layers, and space heat the more commonly used areas.

But I figured, if I'm going to space heat, I might as well do something with that electricity before turning it to heat. So now my PS3 and a bunch of secondhand server PCs are humming along in my living room.

And I'm passing your asses up like no tomorrow.

The DU folding team is actually slipping... down into the 190s from the 180s last week. The freepers are at 52. So if you space heat anyway, fire up that PC folks. You
can't let a tech snob like me me just walk my way all the way up that chart

1. I have space heaters in my living room and kitchen
the oil furnace is old and old and knocks and bangs and not very heat efficient. But the landlord says he can't afford a new one. Anyways the electricity is cheaper. It is a shame that I can't have one in each room, the electricity won't carry it...Old old..I filled up last year and am now down to a little over 1`/4 of a tank and am dreading the call Monday for another visit.

2. skids, could you provide a KISS explaination of folding to those, like me, who
are profoundly tech challenged?

Thank you! MKJ

4. Thank you sooo much!
I admit to avoiding the folding threads, because I thought they were referencing some sort of intricate process that I wouldn't fully grasp. :blush:

This is fascinating, thanks again.

7. In the past month I've gone from 150 or so to 54. I'm
folding like crazy on my new Mac Mini.
