Folding Pie and Milestones!!

[hertz9753]

That can't be right. It looks like I went full Elmo.

 

[NastyHabits]

Holy crap! I got pie? No way.

I was hoping I switched fast enough to get cherry for once

Yes that was the chance. Between the new 980 Ti (Buck), Hertz and your boss our chances for cherry pie will be rare . Actually I got a piece during the switch but it vanished in the internet 1's and zeros being overwritten. I know picture or it didn't happen. BUT I saw it

I was asking to get more M5000s in today and they started asking questions. Almost blew it. They were like why do you need so many graphics cards? I figured it was worth a shot since it's looking like I'm not getting the Z640s I was promised.

LOL, don't blow it man. We need your production to keep this team above 10 Mil per day. I think we can do 12 Mil PPD in the next 30 days.

I take that you are pretty happy with your new Ti but think that it might feel lonely being the only GM200 in the farm

Oh I'm not gonna blow it, if worst comes to worst my boss would literally ask me to be honest why I need them then make up an excuse why I need them to back me up. His dad is battling cancer, so there's incentive. We're pretty close, if anybody didn't guess it. As it stands the M5000 and M4000 are just loners from HP, but since our rep up and left HP and we have a new one odds are they'll never ask for them back. My biggest issue at work is still power though. Each machine only has 2 6pin adapters which is why I've been asking for Quadros because I can put 2 in a machine. PPD is essentially lower, but the more cards the higher I can produce given the circumstances. I thought about bringing my spare 1000W TT and trying to hide it in the network closet with the crunching Prodesk 600s but if any network dude went in there and saw a weird contraption they'd definitely start asking questions so I don't push it in that regard.

I'm thinking another 980ti Hybrid and a few more 970's to fill out the mining rig(5x 970's total). Might even give @hertz9753 a run for his money.

 

[PP Mguire]

I don't want to be that guy, but just want to ask how you justify spending a lot of money on top end cards dedicated to just folding.

We have an HA meeting every Tuesday night. Instead of helping people quit, we enable them.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

I don't want to be that guy, but just want to ask how you justify spending a lot of money on top end cards dedicated to just folding.

For starters, my Mother was taken by Cancer when she was 52 years old. I always promised myself that If I could do anything to help anyone who suffers, I would. I'd like to think we are making small strides everyday towards a cure. I am in a solo stage in my life(Divorced and kids are in their mid 20's) that has allowed me to pursue a very successful career. You could say Folding is my only Vice and is cheaper and less destructive than chemical addictions. Plus, I get to keep my job.

BTW, these cards are nothing compared to the cost of the two 4P Opteron Rigs($5K+) that I built back in 2012 that I still have packed away in the garage.

Buck I remember the last time you got mad.

That is one mad Buck! Love that song.

Top tier cards prices don't bother me. I have drop more money on a monitor, dslr camera and lens, and art supplies. Big canvases are not cheap and oil or good quality acrylic will make most balk at the idea of dropping the money for it. Hell, my copic markers cost easily all together more than one of my 970s.

Or the cost of Farber-Castell color pencils, they make prismacolor pencils look cheap.

Here just 12 copics, and actually marked down atm. Just to give you idea of the price some of the art supplies I have. Peeps wonder why art drawings or paintings cost so much.

So DC has been down. Congrats to the folders with milestones. I have a dog guarding the cherry pie so don't think about it...

Your cherry pie is safe from me. At least I got the little blue sliver.

 

[hertz9753]

I'm glad that you said that. My dog would show you where the pie was just so she could get some.

 

[PP Mguire]

Lol look how far down I went. It's so obvious these Titans do most of the work.

What pie? I don't see a pie. And why do you store your clean pie dish on the floor?

 

[hertz9753]

I can see the pie. 2 million at 6pm central time has me sweating.

Clean dishes on the floor are something my dog is in charge of. It's the first step in washing the dishes. Why soak and rinse when you can have teeth and licking?
