H is pulling out all we can at the moment. Trying are darnedest to catch 3rd. Crossing my fingers that we don't encounter a large bunker from SETI.Germany

Yeah we love talking <redacted> to each other. lol

Knocking on 3rd place's door, but I don't think we are going to get it.

Sorry, I thought using a ! would be enough. I'll use a * instead.

Its the "S" word, and the * might not get you off the hook with some mods. Just say "smack" instead.

Only 13 hours left in this competition. But we have done very well!

Any last half of the day bunkers left out there, to put us ahead of the French?

 

[StefanR5R]

You are probably not the only one wondering.

"We take a nasty release from TeAM AnandTech..." rough translation. :-D. That description has me giggling.

 

[StefanR5R]

It's going to be a narrow finish for TPU vs. P3DN, and for EVGA vs. SNURK.

Wow, I have 70 cores going and I'm only outputting 1.88% of the total. I feel like I'm dishonoring my family, or something like that.

 

[StefanR5R]

While this hypertensive Pac-Man has a few more cores, he also possesses time-warping technology which enabled him to put ~4.5 days of computation into 1 calendar day.

I have over 280 cores going, and xii5ku makes me look like I am standing still.
