Good thread to talk the talk about the TZC and keep the other Thread Clean.

Just chalk it up to TZC equipment prep -- amother great reason to upgrade! 

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Sand bags burnt? Yeah, right -- my forces have three brigades, with one rapid response force in reserve!

C'mon bcav, fold at least 2 of your TI's

Maybe with my 1080 in my Dell Server I can hit 2 Mil.
Nope, Run to Hot.

Amazon always has crummy "newer model" nonsense. They keep telling me a 4x16GB ram kit is superseded by an 8x8GB ram kit. That ups looks good, but I really need a larger capacity. My current rig is on a 1600W power supply and the backup system is on a 1000W power supply. Only the streaming/Skype computer has less power available at 750W.

What I use for Serious UPS loads

More Power 1350W:


CyberPower PR1500LCDRT2U Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1350W, 8 Outlets, AVR, 2U Rack/Tower
Amazon link 1350W  CyberPower PR1500LCDRT2U
 


Greater Power 1500W:


CyberPower PR1500LCDRTXL2U Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1500W 
Amazon link 1500W CyberPower PR1500LCDRTXL2U
 
As big as I've found that works on a standard 120V outlet found in homes.  Time for a custom circuit if you like your UPS any bigger

Just putting up the reminder - If you are looking to sign up and have been holding out, PLEASE DO IT NOW! 9pm EST is the cut off. I can NOT guarantee that I'll be able to slip anyone in after the cutoff this year as things have been extra busy at Chez Pimp.

Hey guys, looks like I'm out.  My folding is all goofed up again and is refusing to upload WUs.  I shut it down.

@ HK-Steve

Well for some Dark Swiss chocolate I might be tempted to tell you ......  GMT +01:00 hour = Switzerland (so, your 6 hr ahead of East Coast)

https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/
 
 (excerpt)
The Eastern Time Zone is an area 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT-5 ) during the winter months (referred to as EST) and 4 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time  ( GMT-4 ) during the summer months (referred to as EDT). At the moment, the following schedule is used:

  • The contest begins Tuesday November 27th, 2018.  Registration closes November 26th.




Quick question for Clarity --> What Time on Tuesday November 27, does this start ? 


(excerpt from rules)
"The contest will start at midnight (Eastern Time US) on Tuesday November 27th"



Is this intended to mean the first second of 27 Nov --->  00:00:01     (one second after midnight 26 Nov ?)
 
 




What we do is take the points level reported by Standford at the 12:00 AM 11/27/18 update and use that as the starting point of the contest.  Any points reported in the 1:00AM update and later are part of the contest stats.  So I guess the answer is yes, anytime after 00:00:01 on 11/27/18.  I will update the contest page to reflect this more precise definition when I get a chance.

Signups are now CLOSED! My apologies to anyone looking for a late entry, but things are a bit more hectic for me this year than in the past, so I've gotta be the bad guy on it this time.
