These megajouls are confusing for me. kwh is what we use for resident home power billing unit.

- mettamage 4y ago> Joules it’s a pretty fitting unit… we are talking about energy in the form of heat here… kWh is a u it used for electricity! Didn’t you study physic in high school? I'd rephrase this to: Joules it’s a pretty fitting unit. We are talking about energy in the form of heat here, kWh is a u it used for electricity. The question at the end comes of as potentially condescending. I'm not sure if you're aware, which is why I'm mentioning this rephrase.
- freedom2099 4y agoI was being condescending!

- michaelmrose 4y agoYou could communicate as much without the last insulting sentence delivered for no particular purpose. It elevates the discussion and keeps you from ending up banned.
- mettamage 4y agoAlright, thanks for being frank. I like HN because usually people do their best to be the opposite (aka as helpful as possible while being respectful). I like that attitude more than a condescending attitude which is one of the reasons why I love it here. Moreover, it's even in their guidelines. It's part of the culture to take arguments in good faith, it's part in the culture to see the best in people's arguments and to be fact based/scientific. The guidelines are here, I recommend you to read them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html And we all make mistakes on it every now and then. I am no different, rereading them from time to time helps keeping this community as awesome as it is :)
- fsh 4y agoIn Europe, kWh is used for both your heating bill and your electricity bill. Since kWh and Joule are two different units for the exact same physical quantity, they can be used interchangeably.
- moloch-hai 4y agoMoreso: they managed to put in 0.6 kWh of the highest grade of energy imaginable, and got out 0.9 kWh of hot neutrons, the lowest grade of energy imaginable (short of neutrinos).
