just how ensconced in your hovel cave must you be for that to even begin to be a possibility. for some reason i thought that guy lived in a home by himself but with other people there that story is just sadder than i remember. i mean i felt like a huge nerd for running SETI@home on a few towers, but even i knew better to turn them off when it got hot rather than slow roast my brain

Citizen Tayne posted:I participate in farting@home. I eventually staggered out of my room, which took quite a lot of effort, and my parents saw that I wasn’t doing too well and then realized I needed medical attention. They rushed me to the ER, and at this point I was barely conscious so I don’t remember everything, but they put an oxygen mask on me. I have no idea how long it lasted, because every second felt like an hour. It was terrible. After I was in a stable condition, they did some general check-up stuff to make sure that I didn’t have any organ damage or something, and I told them that my head felt awful, so they did either a CT scan or MRI scan (I forget which is which, but it was some scan or another of my head), and said I basically had minor brain damage (they used a fancier term for it, but I forgot exactly what it was… but it was basically just minor permanent brain damage). I don’t notice much of a difference in my ability to think… it’s not as if I’m mentally retarded or anything now, but even so, no brain damage is good. dragon enthusiast posted:folding@chome.

i did this in 2002, and my friend shared my account for combined credit with either hard ocp or ars, I don't recall. months later I found out he was moving from computer to computer in our campus libraries and computer labs and would install folding@home but rename it as the antivirus program...and leave antivirus disabled. I wrapped the semester and then went on my required yet feared Mormon mission so I don't know what happened w/ the big virus outbreak they must have experienced, but when I returned and resumed schooling at the main campus nobody expelled or arrested me. my friend and I drifted apart after that and I last saw him nearly ten years ago at my wedding when he made a polite appearance. that's my folding story please like comment and subscribe
