I wish I had a 100 EU per month bill for electric+Internet (I don't watch TV, water is included in my rent) - but I'm certain I use a LOT more power than you do.
I've not had to use an actual "heater" for years, even when I was just part-time cryptocoin mining or in my early Folding days (plus my LONG-time participation in the Distributed.Net project) I've always had to leave at least 2 windows open and a fan on a thermostat in one of those to keep from overheating my place.
My electric bill DROPS (even in an all-electric area like I'm in now) in the winter, as I get to shut down the A/C gear and the ventilation fans don't run as much of the time.

Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.
 I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.

Actually is 6.5 but I say 7. In Europe go up to 20 and 23 I think. 
You could save if you do some things over night, after 12h is half price.
But my monthly bill for electricity, water, cable TV, cell phone, ADSL, and other taxes is around 100 euro monthly.
20-30 euro is electric bill depend how much I spent that moment, never over and never below.
In that 100 euro is included and heating during winter and heating so strong that you need to keep slightly open window constantly or you walk around in T-Shirts and underwear. But that depend of territory and buildings, part of town and only in bigger cities and not all buildings.
Other people who need to use electricity to heat self spend even double electric bill or 2.5 times higher than during summer.


That is because the Dollar is worthless, that is that 1 Euro for your Elect Bill is $100 here for our Elect Bill.
When it comes to the Cost of what some of us pay for Electricity in the US as compared to Russia or the EU.

1 EU = 1.14 Dollar as of a couple days ago.
Not all THAT different in value.

The US dollar is not worthless, it's worth less then 50 years ago, but it is not worthless. The US dollar is still the King as the World reserve currency. If you (or anyone else) truly think the US dollar is worthless please send me all of them you have, I'm kinda of fond of collecting them.

It's good because here is heating on gas and not influence on electric bill, in some part of the town where buildings are older from before World War II people need to heat with electric and their bill over winter is 300% higher than our. 
But we didn't had problem with heat because that part of Europe gas arrive from Russia and it's relatively cheap.
I could not live example in territory where people heat with fire, that's too cold for us, we didn't used on such environment.
I could live 10-15 days but not all the time. Because of that most people escaped from villages in bigger towns and buildings, apartments. 
Dollars is still main international currency, over 60% of the world is US Dollar.
Main in US, good part of Africa and Asia, Russia even South America is dollar.
That mean except local currency dollar is second used. 35% is I think Euro.

For the most part that is the same between States and even Cities.
Some Elect Companies even give a small discount for users who only have Elect and No Gas or Propane.
Nebraska is one that has this small discount.

1 dollar equals 0.90 euros. 1:0.9 Pretty similar. Not anywhere close to the 100:1 you just claimed.

Just ignore these random posts from that user. If you look at their history, they are just going around making what looks to be spam posts. Nothing they have posted makes any sense at this point.

ASUS wants... I want to ASUS organize self better and remove ROG Universal VGA Holder from box with broken motherboards and sell to people who want to buy.
Not someone to pay 40$ for him + 30$ shipping from Japan or USA because they can't sell to distributers in region where customers ask them.
Then I need to buy some Cooler Master VGA Holder with RGB and to cut wire. VGA Holder should be unvisable as much possible not to distract attention and shine.

More dark clouds around my thoughts about Asus products.  Next they will be in the news about privacy invasion.  Exceeding your want for people to simply buy your product that you are marketing it for like mining which involves using electricity to do so is stepping into lawsuit territory.

I am using MSI motherboards which seem to be much better designed and they are durable.
 
Asus boards tended to be borked and did not last long at all.
 
EVGA cards are good they are well designed to last a long time. My Radeon cards are made by Sapphire and they are roughly as good.
 
I detest digital coins as a waste of electricity and a Ponzi scheme

Hrrrm, spent one of his 3 posts on telling people they're "all wrong", but couldn't be bothered to explain why. This is why modern culture is broken. BTW, thanks for the necro.
