I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

    I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

    idea what unit
    speed change in position over time meters per second m/s
    acceleration change in speed over time meters per second, per second m/s/s=m/s²
    force acceleration applied to each of unit of mass kg * m/s²
    work acceleration applied along a distance, which transfers energy kg * m/s² * m = kg * m²/s²
    power work over time kg * m² / s³
    energy expenditure power level during units of time (kg * m² / s³) * s = kg * m²/s²

    Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

      Could be worse, could be BTU. And some people still use tons (of heating/cooling).

      Power over time could be interpreted as power/time. Power x time isn’t power, it’s energy (=== work). But otherwise I’m with you. Joules or gtfo.
