I second Calibre.
I used to know of a plugin, years ago, that would remove all DRM from ebooks at the time of import into Calibre
After arriving to a new country and seeing different ppl (I.e. non-white) asked the question "Ok, but where are you really from?", I realised asking about roots could be seen as rude by association.
I defaulted to asking, if the conversation heads that way, "Did you grow up around here?" As I see this question assumes you're a local, and at the same time it's broad enough for others to respond however they want.
Have you considered a torrent based solution?
Setup a torrenting server hosted online somewhere with fast speeds (e.g. Netherlands), sync it with gdrive, create a torrent for your books, and "download" your books to the toreenting machine.
This approach won't help with upload speed, but it should help with reliability/continuity. As long as you seed from your home computer, your books will eventually make it into your gdrive.
Although with this setup it might be easier to just torrent the ebooks to the online server from sources other than yourself.

As a plot twist, the megacorp, described as an entity, becomes aware of The Owners' intention of destruction. It covertly puts in place measures to survive when the excise comes.
A war of megacorps ensues, the freed megacorps against the enslaved ones by The Owners. With the puny humans being doubly screwed over, of course.

No idea with Japanese, but in Spain, most audiovisual media is dubbed.
Comedy is adapted according to context, both the plot's context and the current cultural context. Jokes are changed to fit the scene AND the translation.
When you start watching them in their original language, usually English, you find that the OG is usually better. And I say usually because in rare occasions, the joke in Spanish ends up being better, at least IMO.
Here's a couple:
-
How did you find each other?
-
How transactional was/is it? As in, was your arrangement discussed before hand? Written down?
Not really, under an area blackout the fiberoptic transmitters will stop working, so you won't be able to reach other areas/nodes even if your equipment has UPS power.
But, in general, the idea of a UPS is to provide enough supply to allow for an orderly shutdown, preventing equipment damage or data loss. Its not meant for long term operations.
For infrastructure and other critical applications, the UPS is designed to give you enough time to go start the diesel generator, and continue the operations.
As a bonus, some UPS have filters to ensure that delicate electronics get a nice, clean power wave. This is usually the case in UPS for data centres.
Btw, how are you liking down under's "revolutionary" idea of Fibre + Copper? Is it as bad as it sounds?
Have you tried a Surf store? DFO might have some outlets worth checking.
Otherwise, thrifty shopping. Take a day trip to the Northern Beaches and check their local Vinnie's/Salvos, I'm sure they'll have something nice for a low price.
I'd also consider "volume quotas".
I'll assume that the show creators have a set format/time per episode. Recaps are a "good" way to have filler time, meeting the target episode's length without too much additional effort.
Personally, i feel like the recaps are somewhat of a spoiler to the episode. Usually these recaps are aimed at reminding you of things that you will need/want for the current episode (e.g. who was that character?). If you do remember the previous episode, these edits almost spell out what parts of the plot will be developed in the current episode.
I'd appreciate a solution like the one @vinny_93 mentioned, where the recaps exist, but I can skip them on demand.
