Well, yeah

If the power company is going to annoy me (too much) for that, then tough shyt when they need my battery to compensate for peak hours

Very interesting and I think it makes sense to teach it, though I'd prefer something that works on MacOS

(what I don't get is why this page is breaking pgUp/pgDown)
