In case you’re wondering, the AC unit in our bedroom costs $0.16/hour. The living room costs $0.50/hour.
My wife is trying to make me stop. She says it’s annoying.
NO! That’s a stupid question.
i did that too. i printed the monthly rates table since the unit rate changes depending on the monthly consumption, but also i include the 13% VAT percentage for residential usage, and it adds up to 0.15$/kwh. my ac consumes about 1.2kwh per hour, and i plan running it 20 hours per day for 60 days. women dont like accountability and dont like to admit to consequences. good on you for staying wise and planning everything in advance.
women dont like accountability and dont like to admit to consequences.
what the absolute fuck?
to be fair to OP, I have only seen this done by women, too.
When you have to explain to an adult woman that leaving the heater on max is like opening the faucet in the sink, and leaving the house, maybe it’s not a surprise that it causes her to have a nervous breakdown. (since if she was a rational thinker, she wouldn’t be doing it in the first place)
Still weird that I have never seen this done by a man.
IDK, that doesn’t sound healthy.
Life is made up of infinite details. Looking too closely at any of them shouldn’t be done without a reason, that way lies madness
Looking at details makes sense when the data is actionable. If you think “my electric bill is too high” or “I’m worried about my power consumption”, then try living with it a bit hotter/colder. That’s a decision to make on more like a monthly basis, maybe every couple weeks - day to day it’s one of a ton of variables. It’s not useful information outside a spreadsheet
Making that decision on a daily basis sounds like obsession. If you just think it’s interesting, you should probably keep it to yourself (and similar minded people)… If your wife doesn’t want to hear it, you should listen to her
Tell me once, fine, maybe it’s a bit interesting. Do it every day for a week, and my brain starts trying to keep a running estimate. I would get very angry, very quickly, because it would make my life slightly worse moving forward for no benefit
Yes
I don’t think normal exists
