What did you buy today?

Are you building a shelf queen?
Plastic a arms are what you want for bashing. The plastic parts will flex and return to normal shape under stress, and if they stress too hard they will break instead of your bulkhead. When aluminum stresses, it's in general less likely to bend and break, but, when it does bend, it won't return to its original shape.

Yep i know, i don't care if it breaks, its only 19$ for a bulk head or frame, i want it too look good when it breaks

The GRP wheels/tyres for my Typhon have arrived. £38 inc delivery for a set of 4 from Italy so not a bad price (for the UK).

Got home and the new MIPs were waiting for me

Well worth the investment. For me it was the best purchase I made for working on my rc cars.

Starting to look amazing Don!

 

[bicketybam]

Looks good!

Upgraded graphics card to a RTX2080 and power supply to 850w... and upgraded hard drive to 512gb m.2 with 1tb storage drive. All to run my golf sim.

I'm loving my RTX 2080, I'm getting like 1.5m ppd in folding@home.

I know a lot of that is in English but I'm still not understanding...it's all greek to me

Yeah but GPM isn't known for using quality aluminum in their products so those arms are going to bend or break eventually.

Folding@home is a distributed computing platform for diseases research run by Stanford University. Folding refers to the way human protein folds in the cells that make up your body. We rely on the proteins to keep us healthy and they assemble themselves by folding. But when they misfold, there can be serious consequences to a person’s health. Basically this platform studies how proteins in our cells fold and what can cause them to misfold. Rather than use 1 giant supercomputer to calculate this the workload is spread out over thousands of computers. Protein misfolding is believed to be the cause of many diseases like cancer, Parkinson's, Hunnington's, and Alzheimer's to name a few.

Do note that in order to run this and actually be able to make a contribution to the project you will need a fairly powerful video card in your computer and it uses a lot of power.

Idk if you saw anything about the bitcoin thing last year, but like how some of those guys were running computers with 8 videos cards, there are seriously guys that do that same thing but run folding@home instead of mine bitcoin.

When I work with animal proteins and eggs and meat, I always consider proteins to be a spring. So I call em unwinding. When I use salt specifically to "unwind" and heat or acids to "denature or rewind," I get the results I need. Water / moisture retention, (nitrite) cure and salt penetration, bacteria control.
Interesting that this could be something to read more into with humans but I reckon proteins are universally similar.
Thanks for showing me something new and while I only have a single 980gtx I may be limited. Either way, I'm curious and want to learn more. I wonder if "fold" and "wind" are similar.

The 980GTX still makes a great card for this right around 650k ppd, I would say minimum is a GTX660, anything older than that and you are just wasting electricity.
