No folding yesterday. The results for today, the first dual GPU day, are going to scare me...

Ironic tradeoff, innit?

I’d like to think that wind and solar are saving humanity, but I’m currently living in the Midwest so I have a pretty good idea where my power is coming from...

Side effect of quarantine: cheap hydro & nuclear to save humanity

Not really a trade off. Disease doesn’t spread rapidly in a healthy ecosystem. Getting rid of the disease doesn’t solve the underlying problems . Traditional solar panels and wind farms  are still a pretty “dumb” solutions. Easiest way out to make us all feel better.

Yikes! I get concerned if we use more than 6 kWh per day!

This is relatively light power usage. I don’t know how I would live on 6 kWh/day unless I lived in the cold and dark with no TV or Internet. Running a couple of computers 24/7 may be an issue here. I have switched all lights to LED, and most are smart bulbs so I don’t have to run them at full brightness. There may have been a lot of broiling/baking during this time as well.

I need to look around for phantom power draws and unplug what I can. I do have a ton of transformers plugged in, and they may not all be in use.
