In case you’re wondering, the AC unit in our bedroom costs $0.16/hour. The living room costs $0.50/hour.

My wife is trying to make me stop. She says it’s annoying.

    I went solar a couple of years ago and my power generation and usage are all always tracked and graphed by an online app. Also telling me how much is spend or save. So I crawl up my own ass over electricity usage pretty much every day.

    I do think this is much better than the dark ages when I really had almost no idea how much power I used every day.

      Went through the same thing. It’s a little game now to try to use less energy than the solar panels are generating. Used to keep my gaming PC on all the time, and watch everything on a giant tv, but now I’m mostly using a tiny laptop. Really helps when you see how much electricity you’re using and how of that you do t really need.
