941  Other / Off-topic / FREE MONEY! Wait what? Get outta here.. on: December 27, 2013, 06:47:58 AM
Free money!  WTF!


---


I cant believe i just got into an argument with someone over working and free money! The conversation was initially about the notion of free money! If 48% of the country is off handouts in one way or another( section 8, food stamps , general assistance)

Then why not just cut the red tape and just give everyone free money every month for doing nothing. Thats the argument that im dealt!


I was like what!!? You mean sit on your ass all day long without contributing to society in any anyway and get paid for it.. and take advantage of everyone else who works and pays taxes?? YEP!! Replied the arguee..



Man that would be aiding and abetting losers into a life of loserness! Im not talking about people who actually need assistance .. im talking about those who "choose" to life a life of dependance on purpose. People who are in your face like ---->>> "fuck you im gonna keep playing the system like its my job"!!


Its pisses me off that someone can work 20 years to save and own a home and the next door neighbor will have lived there for 10-15 years off section 8 paying about $140 a month for a home thats identical! A home you have to work 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week for to support you and your familiy.





As if i wasnt already irritated the conversation got sidetracked and the subject was working! The arguer was now saying thats its not uncommon in some society's that people dont work!



I was like what?! what kinda of nonsense is that! Where ever the **** your at you gotta pay for food, rent clothing, transportation at the minimum!!!?? I was like what are you talking about?

Then the arguer says.. "In the Uk there are lots of immigrants that come into the country and dont work and they are given shelter and assistance." The arguer spoke as if every single immigrant in the UK did not work and just is basically sucking the life out the land and its ok!   << ---  wtf!



Why is it hard to understand the process of working and getting a reward for working hard and the harder you work the bigger the reward! Regardless if your work is physical or not. This hand out bullshit is just nuts! Someone was telling me about someone they know who is getting a disability check for being an alcoholic..

I was like what!!! Evidently he convinced some board that 30 years of drinking and being a loser should equate to receiving free money and being disabled while everyone else who works, pays that guys way!!!!



What a bunch of bs! Im not critical of people who need assistance at all ... we all need help sometimes in one way or another and we all have our strengths a weaknesses but i think everyone can contribute! We are all in the same boat! It benefits everyone to be a halfway decent member of society no matter what you do!


Why does it feel like we are living in the movie "idiocracy"!





For those who have seen it ... ( UPGRADE IS NOT COMING!!! )
 lol

^^ Dam those toxics suck down some juice eh! Im not looking forward to setting those up.. I was hoping to do 3 on a 1000w EVGA powersupply 4 would be sweetness!!!! I just saw a rig with a 1000w LEPA running 4 280x's!! I saw them in the show your mining rigs section of bitcointalk!

I even asked him, if he was undervolting and he said yes and with no problems... Clearly he didnt have the toxic editions!

943  Other / Archival / Re: Pictures of your mining rigs! on: December 24, 2013, 09:37:08 AM
Is he mining with 4x 280's with 1000w?  Thats sweet if so..


Yes i am. Inside the case is Lepa G1000. Cards are running 1075mv, 1030/1500. The rest of machine is Gigabyte F2A88x-d3h and AMD A-4000 apu. Total power consumtion of the system is 1045W under load.
G1000 is superb PSU. Its absolutely stable under this heavy load.

My second miner will use EVGA G2 1300W. So it will have more headroom.

Thanks for your opinions guys!


Nice ! I got a couple of evga 1000w power supplies  over here  ... as well as one ax-1200 by corsair. If i could do 4 on the evga's each... i would be very happy!

I got the msi z77a gd80 because its supposed to be like the gd65 except with thunderbolt ..

I was told the gd80 should NOT have an issue running 6. I heard the msi z77a-gd45 has to be shorted via some pins on the motherboard.  Ya short the PCI-E presence pins ... Maybe the gd55 too.. Dont quote me on that but look it up

Im waiting on risers still but i will confirm if i get 6 running on the gd80 without mods in the next week!!

Right now i have split the task via a couple motherboards .. Asrock extreme6 and a MSI m77a-gd80

The positive development I see is less and less youngsters will be forced go into debt trying to join one of those expensive schools to study medicine, schools with so called teachers making millions in their lifetime doodling stuff on their blackboard.

More and more doctors will be people who will care, truly care for the ones who deserve it and not for the ones who can simply pay for it, as those new doctors won't be motivated by greed but "social cure". Free access to the cutting edge of medicine technology should be a human right. Greedy hospitals trying to upgrade their equipment to the latest greatest should not pass their so called cost burden on taxing the poor. China can make amazing medical devices for cheap.

It is an illusion to believe they are good doctors and bad doctors. All doctors have certificates that proves they are doctors on their wall anyway. Bad doctors are the ones collecting Ferrari on the misery of the sick. The good doctors are the ones who know there were born to serve the community, sacrificing their own life for the greater good.

Everyone from the other 49 States should move to Vermont and support the cause of free healthcare.


Hell yeah!! Vermont is putting the rest of the country to shame .. i hope some other states follow.




What I thought was ridiculous about the whole obamacare debate is that I bet like 3-1 people wanted lower healthcare costs versus making sure everyone is covered. And then the only thin we got is free healthcare for poor people and the costs keep going up and up. It's insane.

It was not insane for the people who kept an eye on Pelosi ''“But we have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what’s in it....”

Now get ready for the next madness. Learn it by heart. Remember when your read it the first on a bitcoin forum. You got mad about a Wall Street bailout?
Next: insurance companies bailout. This close is built in the law.


[T]here are deep-in-the-weeds protections baked into the Affordable Care Act: risk adjustment, reinsurance, and risk corridors…
…[R]isk corridors will play the biggest role if the individual mandate does get delayed. Their entire purpose is to stabilize premiums during the first three years of Obamacare, when it’s especially difficult for insurers to price plans.
Here’s how it works: exchange plans (QHPs) projected how much their risk pool would cost overall in 2014, their “target” cost. If they’ve significantly miscalculated—or, say, if a mandate delay causes adverse selection that they couldn’t have predicted—HHS will take action…





Holy ****! Did you say insurance bailout! So is there a pre-determined crash time?! Is that why they spent 600 million on a website that doesnt work because it was never supposed to work... Is it pump and dump healthcare and bail it out time?

My god... its worse than i thought!







http://www.occupydemocrats.com/vermont-makes-promise-people-video/

The program will be fully operational by 2017.....

Hope and change?

It's okay if I am skeptical, right?

But on the flip side I've always thought states could pull things off that the additional layer of corruption and red tape of Wash Dc could not possibly accomplish.


Lol...   Yes its ok if you are skeptical..  
 
I passed up a sign that said "hope" a thousand miles back and i just chuckled at it..



---

Ill tell you guys a short story about the time i was at a stop light about to make a u-turn to go to a carwash.

I didnt make the red light so i just sat there waiting for it to turn and there was a guy hodling a sign that said "Lost a 300 hundred pound cat.. please honk if you see him!"

I laughed to myself and rolled down my window and gave this guy a dollar and then i gave him another since he made me laugh and all..

I then made a u-turn and pulled in into the carwash. They take your car and at the last moment it pulls out of the machine then a couple guys dry it by hand and so as i was waiting on my car to get washed i noticed the guy across the street still doing his thing in the middle of the island with the sign ..

At one moment he starts walking across the street and makes a beeline move towards me and i was thinking oh man i hope he doesnt ask for more money .. i already gave him $2!

Luckily my car was almost done so i jumped in my car and quickly tipped the carwash guy a few dollars and got in my car and closed the door! LOL The bum crossing the street kept coming towards me and he got about 4 feet from my car and he turned to one of the guys who were drying the cars and the rat bastid gave the two dollars i gave him for making me laugh ...to one of the guys drying cars and proceeded to get into a brand new 750 il BMW that was in line and had just got washed... and then he drove away in the beemer!

My last hope for humanity was lost right there! LOL

I was sitting there thinking.. poor guy, he is in his old age in the middle of the street begging for money..  Little did i know i was on shinanigans st! Nothing is as it seems and you should not trust anything!

So skeptical ... yeah!!! A lil bit.. lolz

Its kinda like bitcoin tho..  even if it failed they cant put the idea back in the bag! I hope Vermont rocks that s***!!

We need more states to follow!

no plans.. just care & no profits..

lol

Lets call it the "Not so affordable care plan"..

bahaha


--



We just cant  afford care thats about it! Mansions, boats, cars, businesses, politicians ..you can buy whatever you want.

But ask for some care and they get all 3 musketeers on you...

I think single payer suits the term care a lil better. A whole lot better!

The program will be fully operational by 2017, and will be funded through Medicare, Medicaid, federal money for the ACA given to Vermont, and a slight increase in taxes. In exchange, there will be no more premiums, deductibles, copay’s, hospital bills or anything else aimed at making insurance companies a profit.  Further, all hospitals and healthcare providers will now be nonprofit.  

 --------

Wow Vermont had the audacity to put such a system in place because clearly this is a spit and slap in the face to whatever the affordable care act is supposed to be! Clearly the affordable care act is not the "affordable care" that it claims to be and clearly it wasnt written with the "care" of the people in mind!

Overall its an embarrassment and sinking in a self etching stain thats soaking in on the landscape of the country. The more people try to fix it the more they are rubbing it in and screwing it up more!

Why dont people demand something like Vermonts system!

  Is there anyone at the wheel ?  Someone tell me something!  WTF!  The health care industry is slaughtering the country with pills and bills! The pharmaceutical industry is the giant silverback gorilla that nobody wants to talk about!

& overall..

All this nonsense and grandstanding, mandating, political bickering and complete bull**** people have been put through that all could have been made irrelevant by the system Vermont has put in place! Its not like its the other side of the planet! Vermont is a state in the USA!!! In fact they used federal funds to institute a medicaid expansion via the affordable care act and thats how they got this to happen!


      "no more premiums, deductibles, copay’s, hospital bills or anything else"


Its like the feds looked at Vermont and said "hey thats a great idea, we can help with that but we arent going to roll that out nation wide"!

By the way, you're also forgetting about power factor. Crappy power supplies have a PF of .5 or so which means you're pulling a lot more volt-amps than if you had a better supply with a .8 or .9 PF rating. volt-amps are not quite the same thing as watts, and volt-amps are what generate heat in lines.

So.... Make sure you get good power supplies. The crappy BFL supplies have a PF of only .6, my Corsair is over .9. Oh and if you can, run your supplies on 240 volts, more efficient. Actually if you can get 3 phase and run 208 volts to your stuff.

Hey thanks for your input!! Currently im rocking 2x 1000 evga gold series power supplies as well as one corsair ax-1200..

So 4 280x's on the 1200 and then 3x a piece on the 2 evga power supplies.. Currently hunting for an electrician that fits my budget  ..

Not gonna brave the panel.. just gonna do the homerun.

Technically, anything over 16 amps (on a 20 amp breaker) or 80% of the breaker's rating is considered an overloaded circuit.  You should try to keep under this threshold for your own safety.   


Definitely .. DeathAndTaxes was sharing this with us a page back.

Oh man, thanks to some really nice people i just scored a load of 280x's locally!  
 Im off to grap box fans and parts but i had a question about the pdu!


Here is the one D&T linked too!
APC AP9571 1U Rackmount PDU 208V 24A



Here is a similiar model that cost $150 more and i noticed it is labeled 30A vs the 24A on the pdu D&T linked too..


Since im hoping to get a 30A dedicated circuit like D&T recommended, do i need the more expensive one labeled 30A?

like this one -->>  APC AP9571A Rack PDU/Basic/1U/30A    
http://www.amazon.com/APC-AP9571A-Basic-Surge-Protector/dp/B002UOIGVY



or can i get the cheaper 20A ones or the 24A ones?  like --> APC AP9571A 1U RACKMOUNT PDU 20A 208V
