Be the change you want to see in the world. Get some feeder rats from the snake store and rip ones head off with every meal. Bonus points for using teeths.

Those chompers are like 5 inch squares. Like a piece of bread made of bones

You pay <1c /Kwh ?! That's crazy, we're 10x that here in the southeast US and I thought ours was pretty cheap

Oooh, that one for 'easiest biking route' would be useful to me. Hopefully these bounties get some traction

That AS is cutting it close. It's a real post code though it seems

Wow, I can't believe it was as easy to discover as "I copied the link you shared and I could edit the results" and yet the ballot company still tried to say it was legit

Agreed, I was a bit confused as to why all of physics is such a blatant outlier. Maybe big experimental physics (e.g. LHC) with their 150+ author papers?

I hope they weren't blasting UVC disinfectant lights directly at the audience. That would not be great for their health

I don't think I would trust anyone here's answer. The only way to know is to to test it. Theoretical talk about 'more conversions' is kinda discounting the entire field of power supply design. We need someone to slap a killawatt on a system using PoE, and then do it again on that system using external adapters.
I tried Googling to see if anyone had done that and didn't see anyone doing real testing (on the first page of google at least).
I do have these findings to report: 1) PoE is marketed as cost saving, largely on the install and maintenance costs: fewer cable runs for weird AP locations, less electrical work, etc. Which means we cannot assume that if PoE is in wide usage, that it is due to electricity cost savings. And 2) increasing efficiency of newer PoE power supplies is an active area of development, meaning that a particularly old set of PoE hardware might be less efficient than expected.
