I do not drink beer and I shave my head. I used to get a haircut every other week for $20. Yikes that is $520 a year....

We rarely eat out since it might be $40 for my wife and I at your garden variety Mexican restaurant.

Went to Panda Express yesterday and it was $24 and change for 2 people. Too expensive for me.

We have gotten to the point we do not eat fast food either - once a month maybe.

Side Note:

Panda was $18 before Covid. Went to 5 guys about 4 months ago and food for 2 was over $30. Cheeseburgers.... Yikes. Not going back.

A lot of people are saying we are in a hyperinflation period. I lived through the hyperinflation of the mid 70's until things calmed down in the mid 80's. At one point mortgage rates were 19%... yes you read that right.

Hi,

I just read this quote about the electrical costs to run a web server

from home:

Cost: While it may sound cheaper to use that computer lying around
doing

nothing when creating your web server, when you factor in the cost of

powering an old computer 24 hours a day, it can get very expensive. A

250W desktop computer running 24 hours per day at 12 cents per KW/h is
a

whopping $262.00 per year!

I think their math is wrong.

The average residential electricity rate in Chandler is 10.85ยข/kWh.

I'm thinking a low traffic PHP web server running on an old Dell with
a

400 watt power supply is not using but maybe 100 watts on average.
I've

read that the computer should use no more than half the power supply

capacity.  Is this correct?

If my home web server is using 100 watts an hour that mean 100 watts *


30 days * 24 hours or 72K watts.

I'm thinking 72 * .1085 = $7.81 a month.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.
