28,000,000 watts

That's usually written as 28MW. I know some Americans don't like metric much, but one of the points of metric is that you don't ever need to write that many zeroes - you just need to use the right prefix (kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc) on the unit.

Oh, thanks.

Bruh, it's PC Gamer.

quick edit: Hey! Why aren't you converting it to Joules?

[–] Remavas@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

"Converting" joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

And a waste of electricity?

Its one of the smaller atrocities in Vegas, particularly when compared to the Bellagio Fountain or the food waste generated by all those casino dining halls.
