"Do your part" energy conservation plans, like turning lights off when you leave the room, are great for your energy bill, but their job as part of "lowering carbon footprints" is to deflect from the big corporations that actually use the vast majority of the power.

The VERY MOST EFFICIENT roadside LED billboard uses ~61,000 kWh per year. That number rises to ~323,000 kWh at the top end.
Drafted about six pages on how to choose a good machine for learning to roast coffee. It should also be a good read for someone considering opening a roasting company who doesn't know what to look for in a first production roaster.

No mention of specific brands/models because that would be huge and quickly outdated.
Anyone interested in a mastodon instance focused on India? I have seen that many Indian users on Twitter have to go through vicious trolling.
