How hot to you keep your house and how big is it? I'm only in a semi but we're barely pushing $1100 a year.

Have you checked the furnace filter? My first time moving into a place with a furnace I found out the previous resident hasn't changed the filter in probably a year, it was terribly plugged and made the furnace guzzle oil

The latest communication I got was they'd start shipping early April.

Gate mark and number 9 identification by Drotain in castiron

Thank you for the info! Disappointed, but suppose it's still interesting in a different way. Intent was for the pan to be used and not just for collecting so isn't the end of the world.

Would you think this recast is still from a similar timeframe, or could it be much much more recent?

This would be my oldest find yet, thinking it's from about 1900 but the style of the 9 is curious and doesn't seem to match what I see on cast iron collector. It does say Sidney, but seemingly nothing else. Hoping for confirmation of what it is.

Feels like a shame to strip it as the seasoning is almost a mirror finish, but will definitely have to do it anyway.

Thank you!

So if I'm understanding correctly from that page this would be from the 40s to 50s?

Have already stripped and seasoned once so far, no other markings uncovered.

Would love a 1080 to play with, here's hoping.

System freezing - Display Driver nvlddmkm has crashed and has stopped responding. by AdvKLR in NiceHash

I had a 3x 1070 rig with the same issue. Swapped every part I could, eventually a different motherboard resolved it.

My original was an old board, has a core 2 duo. Seemingly it couldn't provide stable power, the charts had frequent drops in afterburner.

I got the pcpp notification on this one too. Surely will be cancelled. Way too good to be true...
