When fully charged, Conky's power meter claims I'll get 13 hours on my Lenovo
Flex.

That, of course, is radically reduced when I type

    $ make -j 8

on my fairly big autotools-built project. Just one reason I'm using Meson to
build new projects.

By the way, I've decided to use urxvt over xfce4-terminal for awhile.
