I think the electricity company makes payment variations so that the consumer doesn't notice it too much. That way I know that I'll pay more or less within that amount, whether the AC is on or not, or whether or not an extra 3060 is on

that must be it. My whole life has been like this... I'm 54 years old now and the electricity is always within those values, whether it's cold or hot. Im in Portugal..but i beleave is different country to country

You mean when they average monthly payments based on your full year's consumption? Yes, some of them do. In this case it's harder to track what you use even though you pay the full price anyway, right.
True.
I have access to my monthly expenses in watts, but I confess that I don't even care about that anymore. In the winter I turn on everything I need to turn on to heat the house and in the summer everything to cool it down. My TV is also on 24 hours a day and I can't even sleep without it on. I think the TV helps me fall asleep. Well... that's how it is in my house... everything is on and I pay what I expect to pay... whether it's more or less than what I should pay, it's always within the usual amounts for many years

This is all due to using my 3060 for these puzzles. I already used it for trivial PC stuff, but now it's in full swing looking for wallet 71

maybe I'll get as lucky as I did with wallet 48

85 seconds for puzzle 48, equivals to aproximately 45 years for puzzle 71 at, think about it
