PC:
Tp4 has reduced things like graphx settings from 8K 144fps to 1080p 144fps, GPU goes from 435watts to 75watts.
Change Desktop to 4K 60hz instead of 4K 144hz, Gpu goes from 60watt idle to 25-40watt.
Lower brightness, as you know 77 inch tvs use up to 300watts of power, 75-ish nominal, if you lower the brightness, you can knock out 20 or so watts.
PASTA:
Pasta takes ALOT of energy if you do it the "right" way. Boil water, pasta, 10-12min, drain.
COLD WATER PASTA, has its roots in Wartime, Start with Pasta already in cold water, get it to boil for 1.5-2 minutes, Then just leave it to cook on residual heat for 5-10 minutes. It's very much still possible to produced Al-dente, you just have to figure-out by trial the Rest-Time for the THICKNESS of the pasta in question. Spaghetti/Bowties will take ~7-10 minutes of rest, whereas elbows/angelhair take only 4-5 minutes of rest.
