If you pay fifteen cents per kW/hr, that's 4667 kW/hrs. Or about 155 kW/hrs per day, or about 6.5 kW/hrs per hour. The hours drop out so that would mean you had an average draw of 6.5 kilowatts. Even if only half of that was the servers (is your normal bill $350?) that would blow fuses in most houses, even in 220-volt places, in addition to making the room boiling hot, unless you were careful enough to spread them out to several rooms on several circuits, which would have indicated full well you knew how much power they were drawing.

>If you pay fifteen cents per kW/hr

Is the entire premise of your argument

>>59230734
Well if you pay 30 or 40 or more per kW/hr then you'd a.) have to be pretty stupid to not look at how much power your stuff draws, and b.) be pretty used to getting cucked with big bills on a regular basis.

Not him, but I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY THAT. I did the homework.
Even assuming he lived in in denmark (lel twice the average rate of most US states), then he still would be drawing about 3.5kW/h per hour. You would need to be red neck electrician level of retarded to not know exactly what you are doing.

side note, yurpoorupe average rate is 20 cents per kWh, while in the US, its only 12, KEK.

I mean he could live in extremely northern canada, like north west territories

If that is true, that takes some impressive feats of retardation. Like you would really be trying to push for the special Olympics with that kind of stunt

Kilowatt-hours are (kilowatts)*(hours)

Not

(Kilowatts) /(hours)

>>59230853
hmm, not him, but I was wondering if he made the error, or I did.

kW/hr

>>59230738
Nice asuka you got there.

>>59231038
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour

>>59231038
kW.h = 1 kW . 1 h = 1 kilowatt used in one hour. You can naturally scale those values as time or power consumption increases. It's convenient when the power consumption is constant.

Retard

>>59230853
And yet when he divided 'kW/hr' by hours he got kW. It's an orthographic mistake, not a conceptual one.
