US electrical requirements for fridges are somewhat overprovisioned for food safety requirements, the fridge is the most important thing to power as you say. It's easy to not notice when your fridge has lost power and US food safety law says that 4 hours in a fridge without power is unsafe, so the circuit is arranged where the breaker should never turn off in normal operation. (This is a relatively recent addition to the electrical code, most older houses will have the fridge on a mixed circuit, but that's the reasoning)

I'm not sure what the typical current draw for a US fridge is but they are much larger than you're used to. The fridges currently for sale have around 18 to 30 cubic feet interiors (most houses I've seen have the larger end of that range), and current draw increases with size. Peak draw for refrigeration is about 4x the typical running draw so I imagine the larger ones do come close to that 15 amp rating when they turn on.

My interpretation was not that they can force Billups to return to the planet and perform as king, but that their laws would name him as their king and he is not willing to be negligent in his duties if he is named king because of his personal character.

In the long term, this may mean eventually he will return and become king when it is required of him, but he was trying to delay that and follow his own interests for as long as possible, since the planet currently has a functional and effective ruler: his mother.

This is why he agreed to go through the process of becoming king when he believed his mother had died, again reluctantly, but still choosing to fulfill his duties to respect his family and the needs of the people he would be ruling over, as there is no exploration of alternative heirs or loopholes or workarounds in their legal system.

So that's what happened.

The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.

TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I've seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen a cam with subtitles available.

With opnwrt you can do DNS hijacking, where you force redirect DNS requests for other servers to your own DNS server. This works as long as they aren't encrypted (DNS over HTTPS or TLS), which most devices don't use.

I almost did this for a different reason, people choose python because it has some pretty good web automation/scraping libraries to work with.

Correct, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They've got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc

Call this variant Tapestry

There were a couple questions about that here where the admin said they disabled it because they expected people to chat on Matrix instead. I imagine that's easier to moderate etc but it would've definitely been more user friendly to have the built in one.
