My 3900X with Ubuntu 19.04 currently needs just a bit more than an hour per WU.

Actually I was asking why you cared that the tasks were temporarily out.

Don't panic, there'll be more work shortly. Why do you need it available 100% of the time?

The UK (where I live) is leaving the EU. Yet I assume I'll continue to have to put up with this nonsense, aswell as that cookie consent rubbish on every single webpage I go to. Even Canadians and Americans (who are most definitely not in the EU) are affected by that. What gave the EU the right to screw up the whole world? The Americans ought to sue them!

A large black hole that "should not exist" in the Milky Way has been discovered. The black hole, named LB-1, was detected after researchers found a star with an orbit that could only be explained if it had a "dark companion." This companion, they found, was a black hole with a mass 70 times that of the sun—far bigger than current models of stellar evolution allow for.

David Reitze, the director of the gravitational wave detector LIGO, who was not involved in the study, commented on the findings. "This discovery forces us to re-examine our models of how stellar-mass black holes form," he said in a statement. "This remarkable result, along with the LIGO-Virgo detections of binary black hole collisions during the past four years, really points towards a renaissance in our understanding of black hole astrophysics."

The spiraling dance of a pair of colliding black holes should last for billions of years. Yet we’ve caught about 10 black hole collisions since 2016 — far more than we would expect. Some process must be at work to accelerate the collision process, to make black holes come together more quickly than anticipated.

In going, can I just make the point that a completed WU advances the science of the project by precisely the same amount whether it be crunched by a competitive cruncher, by a Gridcoin cruncher or by a dyed-in-the-wool astrophysicist who crunches nothing else.

I really don't like to be a person, who make "inflation" on BOINC projects...

Almost a quarter of the universe stands literally in the shadows. According to cosmologists’ theories, 25.8% of it is made up of dark matter, whose presence is signaled essentially only by its gravitational pull. What this substance consists of remains a mystery. Hermann Nicolai, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, and his colleague Krzysztof Meissner from the University of Warsaw have now proposed a new candidate - a superheavy gravitino.

If this figure were bogus and in fact there actually aren't many BHSpin to send it would explain things.
A small bunch get added - a few systems request jobs and get them all - the rest of the system see there are no jobs.

which was odd, as it had had at most 1 job before the reset. So where did 18 lost ones come from?
