Yes, so what?
You do the laundry one day, then take the dried cloths down a day later, then do the ironing in two weeks time.

The rate I just saw gives 1 CAD as about 1.05 US.

When I transferred the Android money to my account, paypal charged me a $5+ premium over the going us->cad rate. Pain in the ass.

They gave me

1 U.S. Dollar = 0.940146 Canadian Dollars

when the rate at the time was actually

1 U.S. dollar = 0.956699768 Canadian dollars

Which means I got $312.46 CAD rather than $317.97. They shorted me $5.51

append: But since you bought from newegg.ca, it should have been in canadian funds, so no conversion should have been necessary.

Isn't the maid always busy?
That setup turned out quite nicely. Is it possible and/or desirable to unlock cores on that CPU? (Just for that little overkill )

Picked up the case today. Looks pretty awesome. I'm glad I got such a big case because I'm even intimidated by managing all the components and cables in this one.

(Focus on the case... )

The case alone is 40 lbs (~18 kg) so it's going to be interesting trying to carry the finished computer. Might need a second person. Fortunately, I don't intend to move it very often.

I also picked up the heatsink/CPU fan. Unfortunately, it looks like my DVD drive (slot-loading! ) is currently making its way from Seattle (started in Los Angeles) and the rest is somewhere between New York (started in New Jersey) and here... Probably won't see the rest until after the Easter weekend.

I don't know.

WTF!

What's that? a fan? be careful with that turbine man! you computer could get out of the room flying!

So I guess you aren't going to need the home heating anymore...

Nice man! can I go to your home to play?

This case comes with 6 fans. 3 in the front, 2 in the back (all of them 120 mm), and the ceiling fan (200 mm). There are also built-in physical controls that control the speed of them. It's also designed to take an extra (not included) two: one in the middle (back of the HDD bays) and one on the side with the window. Hey, my current computer is underclocking itself and crashing constantly because of heat issues. I wasn't playing that shit again.

I don't really need it now. I live in an apartment and my neighbors use so much heat that I kept my heat off all [Canadian] winter long and was comfortable (even sweating in bed!). And I don't pay for electricity.

If you're ever in the area let me know and we'll work something out.

Steel, actually.

Aren't most cases made out of steel (with some plastic bits)?

I hooked up my washing machine and dryer tonight.

PS. Dear Evert, I also have a clothes line in my basement.

We have about 10 for 200 units, which I guess comes to roughly the same ratio. There's usually one or two that don't work, but despite that, most of the machines are typically free.

Doesn't happen a lot here, but I have seen people gather up enough laundry to keep all the machines busy at once. I guess it saves time in a sense by doing all of your laundry in parallel twice a year, but it's very annoying for other people.
I always set a timer so I get a reminder when the laundry is ready for me to pick up. I don't like leaving it in too long (it's also bad to leave wet laundry sitting in the washing machine).
On one occasion I got seriously angry to find that people had taken it upon themselves to take my laundry out of the machine when they wanted to use it. It couldn't have been done five minutes.

How do you get up to that much laundry in a week? I used to do alternate weeks of light/dark fabrics because I didn't gather up enough of either in one week. Bedsheets are an extra load, obviously.

I have no idea what the rules are with respect to that here, as far as I know it's unspecified. I just consider it just as "not done" to take someone else's laundry out of the machine because you want to use it right now as it is to keep the machine occupied because you can't be arsed to take your stuff out.

Pro Tip: If you place your super computer in an old, ugly, tan ATX case it won't get stolen over the "Fast and Furious" Rigs that people deck out with LEDs and Strobes...
