Kodi front end - emby back end. Best of both.
Profit comes from addicts, not casual players. Gambling is a parasitic practice that harms communitites[1]. The bookmakers all know this, but obviously pretend otherwise.

That's the value change right? You can park more densely as no one needs to get in our out of the vehicle.
Should an Emby premiere user consider moving to Jellyfin?

PTP the best option for reviews anyway.
that would depend on the infrastucture cost to install such charging and to maintain it? This is kerbside slow charging presumably overnight. Note that spaces in these residental areas are typically not even marked spaces; the worst outcome might be losing more footpath space to charging infra for road users.
There are many, many homes in the UK with no garaging, where cars are parked in non-reserved spaces on the street overnight.
There are two types of hydro - run of river, and ones with large lake storage. You need the ones with large lake storage, rather that the ones with a lake to build a head.
Will be eaten alive by the chinese competitiors at that ridicilous price point.

I am amazed every day that people are expected to turn up every day to work while being unpaid. In westminster-style parlimentary systems, if a government can't guarantee supply[1], they are sacked, and a snap election is called.

The paralysis of the political system in the US is either a feature or a bug depending on your point of view i suppose, but no question that it is entirely dysfunctional that a government can continue existing if it can't pass a budget.

Buggy makers building fancier sounding whips.

I've taken taxis in the US, and i can understand why people wouldn't want to. Taxis in other countries are a different experience.

2 years in on a Chinese EV. Widen the statement to include Japanese, Korean, European car markers - they are all being disrupted.

Chinese EVs represent tremendous value - and they are very good. About to replace my last ICE car, and likely to be another Chinese EV.

That article is just mindblowing. My countries Health Service is far from perfect, but that is insanity.
Funny project, funny people, funny ideas. There is some really black and white thinking around feature requests on their forums - for example, segmented ftp downloading for their ftp client.[1]

They are not, nor have ever been interested in solving customer problems. That's ok; that's their privlidge.

Um. Yeah. No. In the last 10 seasons, 4 different teams have won titles. One of those have won it 6 times.
