CloudFlare tunnel with Zero Trust, plus their bot and abuse blocking. Users can get in with the right oauth, plus only allowed from the countries I know they're in. Then just their username and password on jellyfin.

It's a shame they couldn't fit "overpriced" into the title.

Given that it obviously won't happen, I have to wonder which particular thing he's trying to divert attention from.

Ha, it even has affiliate links

Somehow it's less stunning and brave when it's a governor whose electorate isn't out of step with him on doing the right thing.

it's probably a much less exciting film if they're on bicycles

kW/kWh aren't commonly used outside of electrical applications in the US, so people are less readily able to quantify and compare in other contexts. Looking at a variety of natural gas companies' bills, you'll get volume multiplied by a therm factor instead of simply using kWh; horsepower for not just cars but even electrical motors and pumps.

I think the average person will have looked at their electricity bill and put the basics together about watts and watt hours. As for comparison with natural gas, I think he didn't touch on the real metric people then turn to- cost. Depending on the state it can be much cheaper to use gas vs electricity.

Harsh but true. When you take away those that actively supports the regime, then those that are apathetic, that's well over half the population. A present day Boston tea party would mostly result in mass anger over sweet tea availability.

Then those few that remain may not want to risk getting their skulls cracked, legally run over and declared terrorists by the institutions they're asking to change. It simply doesn't leave the critical mass necessary to have thousands in the streets.

You've chosen an indefensible position, that's all. Try to learn from it, and you can do better next time.

I'm well aware of the US attitude towards censorship. My point is about the double standard towards violence and a history of it existing in cultures. It's hardly exclusive to the Americans, and quite European if anything. You can't boldly declare yourself to be "culture" itself and expect to be taken seriously without actually examining those cultures.

"Horrible deplorable violence is only wrong when boors and barbarians do it, not us enlightened beings who seek only peace and nudity".
