Kill-a-watt meter

On: Digging Into the Electrical Cost of PC Gaming

I bought a kill-a-watt meter a while back when I started dabbling in Bitcoin mining and it was a real eye-opener.

Just goes to show how out of touch our legislators have become to believe it's even technically possible, let alone constitutional.
