    I really don’t get the issue with kWh. Things are rated in W and we mostly care about the hours they’re powered on. If I wanna figure out how many kWh a PC that needs 300W used in 4 hours, I multiply 300*4. If I wanna know how many joules it used, I have to do 300*4*3600. Only one of those can be done in your head in 3 seconds.

      You gotta use an escape character, specifically a backslash ( \ ), when dealing with *s on lemmy.

      Otherwise you end up with “stufflike this!”

      When it could have been “stuff*like this*!”

      ETA: Damn, you’re good. Fixed it before I even finished this post!
