Boinc Pentathlon 2024

Are those task actually progressing in the progress bar? I still have a few stragglers that seem to stall. Goes to X% then doesn't seem to advance any. Maybe due to underclocking/volting? My little n100 machine has been doing MW for months without a single stalled task, but it runs at stock...

F@H newbie here

No benefit to joining a team. You do get added into Stefan's awesome sauce weekly DC points post. That way you can compare yourself to other members points total and get points envy forcing you to upgrade your hardware. That's how I got from a ryzen 5 1600 with a gtx 750 to a 5950x and twin...

I will be evaluating and changing my DC activities.

Plus the base fee just to have a meter, so the actual rate is even higher I vote electric fence around the rigs. Nothing drastic. 1000V or so shouldn't leave any permanent damage to the kid. Not following your math on the EV. A pretty bad efficiency is 3mi/kwh, so say 25c to drive 3mi * 10...

Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

I'd be curious to know if the damage rates were the same for ICE Uber vehicles. People can't handle dat ev torque? Doing the horizontal mambo with autopilot on? You would think anyone remotely involved in the auto industry would know Tesla's are expensive to repair

I'm calling BS on hertz. If the cars were damaged, wouldn't they go after the renter for the cost if they didn't buy their overpriced insurance? I've tried to rent a tesla from them for the past two months and can't get one. Depreciation, yes. They bought at peak pricing and new prices have...

Ice maker outlet box

Guess a couple ways to do it. If you didn't want to replace the plastic box. cut drywall under the box, cut copper say 6" below valve, remove nut from valve and pull it out the top. Reverse, sweat copper to valve then install to box, that way you don't melt the plastic box or nut. The...

Ice maker outlet box

The valves for boxes like that are usually special. They will have a long 2" or so male threaded section then a plastic nut comes from under the box to attach it to the box. like so https://www.homedepot.com/p/EASTMAN-1-2-in-Sweat-Ice-Maker-Box-60232/205852290 if it is copper piping i'd bet...

To elaborate on what has been said. The Bolt has a 7.6kw charger. It is possible to set lower charge rates in an EVSE, but 7.6X7hr=53kwh. Unless he's driving 80mph all the way, should avg around 4mi/kwh, so 212miles. I guess if he's thinking like a gas burner and drives all week, then charge...
