Totally possible when you've got your account with a Russian bank in this case, otherwise: I doubt it.

Ah, that way around. Sorry, didn't get that you looked at it from that angle.

Maybe try calling your bank before. Talking to people goes a long way.

I think there might be conflicts where research was not only funded by the government but also companies, side by side. These "partnerships" will lose exclusivity/first mover advantage for the companies, so why should they ge

Yeah, what's next? Comparing cryptofans to the Jews while the Nazis were in power? People really need to chill out with regards to that ponzi scheme.

Just look for a provider who allows it. I don't get the problem some people are trying to make here. This is capitalism, Hetzner does not want cryptocurrency stuff on their servers, that's fine. Lots of other providers do not want

Yes, because lots of expenses are already paid by the employer, so no need to ramp up the loan.

Well, in that case we shouldn't improve anything as long as children are starving to death in this world. That should be our only and biggest "bug" to fix. Feel free to recommend another one, but we'll pause all other im

According to the source linked in the top comment, we are looking at a total consumption of 113.000 MWh per year for those displays. One third of that is at least around 30.000 MWh of saved energy.

Stupid whataboutism. Those signage displays are creating lots of light pollution and consume lots of energy. It's a good thing to shut those down, no matter how much energy we have/create.

Yeah, indeed. We had a crashed car (persons could be rescued without forceful entry) and had to we get to the batteries. We just went down on it with the Halligan tool, much easier than getting the hydraulic instruments. Car was done anyway
