some days you just strike an idea. something that motivates you and ignites a fire within, a passion to build. This week I had one of these days.

I recently signed up for BlueSky and I am really liking it so far. Especially the features around muting and following custom feeds are genius. And there's no need to fight for a username, you can just use your own domain: https://bsky.app/profile/salomonpopp.me

A Big Mac slightly tops that with about 650Wh. A slice of pizza is about half that with 340Wh.

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.
- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]
