So got my energy bill today, going to need to question how they got a 10% higher usage for the year than my energy transit provider states.
Also didn't know they charge for energy lost during transit, 9.6%.

Transit was 4.28 + 0.464 (loss) = 4.744c/kWh (EUR)
Energy was 6.1 - 0.5 (discount for home user) = 5.6c/kWh (EUR)
So: 10.344c/kWh in EUR, or R1.70/kWh.

And then a flat fee of 18 EUR/year as a service cost, so R300 about, or R25pm.

EUR did drop 10% though, so say around R2/kWh or something as base.

And then you get to pay ~80 EUR for all the solar/wind/hydro/bio extra stuff for the year, or ~R120pm.
So my total energy bill for the year, with 100% renewable (85.87% hydro, 9.72% wind, 1.9% biomass, 1.5% sun, 1% other renewable (assuming biogas)).

Energy 88% Austria, rest Norway.

After price increase, my costs going forward go from 27 EUR pm to 29 EUR/pm. I don't think the oil/gas price increase affect them...

Also, I am set to get like 50 EUR in energy refund from government based on their latest policy, lol, going to be fun claiming near 2 months of cost as rebate.

How much storage space do you have left on your computer's hard drive?
I have a 120Gb SSD for my operating system of which 70Gb is free. On ye olde 1Tb hard disk drive, I have about 600Gb available.

Quite a powerful character. Have you played the game?
I started Sacred, but came nowhere close to finishing. Other than work, I rarely finish what I start. I haven't tried the expansion.
I don't always feel bad about leaving things unfinished. I'm so used to this that I expect that I shall not finish what I start, and sometimes not get very far at all. [Write two sentences, then...nothing]

Games I have finished:
Velnor's Lair
Message from Andromeda
Quest for Glory
Wing Commander 4
Tachyon: The Fringe
Titan's Quest
Mass Effect 3
Ratchet and Clank: A crack in Time
Heavenly Sword
Nox
Penny Black
Heroes Rise: The Prodigy
Missed messages
Mechwarrior 2

That's more than I thought.

To be able to do one thing, one sometimes has to accept that one is going to have to do another thing that one would rather not.
