Extremely poor road design. That is a simple T-intersection and it should be a 3-way stop, nothing more. A roundabout is completely inappropriate there.

High-school memories of extracting gunpower from bullets and making pipe-bombs. I also experimented with electronic detonators. Fun stuff and blossomed a life-long interest in chemistry. But yea really dangerous.

I guess having a thick provisioned VM image on your laptop means that you are hiding something. Again if the evil government you are trying to hide something from doesn't need reasonableness as a reason to detain you, then who cares? No matter what you do you are rolling the dice every time you interact with them.

Which is of course similar to the US today, so if I needed to hide something from them I'd make sure that once i'm legally compelled to give my password they at the very least wouldn't have what they are looking for, since there is no way I could prove I didn't have it anyway.

Beat what out of you? You already gave them a password that decrypts a specific file/volume/etc. If they want to beat you, they will beat you regardless of your possession of any encrypted materials.

They know it exist as a concept. They can't prove that the specific decrypted message contains a super-secret encrypted message as well.

Then they better figure out how to block it, I'm not going to assist the nanny-state.

I believe each country should get to have a say in what is permissible, and content deemed unacceptable should be blockable by region.

Agreed. But if I'm running a website, I'm not going to block content based on what some other country that I don't live in wants and why should I?

That's a huge waste of energy.

If the "waste" is "highly radioactive" that means that is has A LOT of energy left in it. It should be reprocessed, recycled, and should provide power for another 20years. The whole idea of nuclear waste needing billions of years of storage is just propaganda to ensure nuclear reactors are never a threat to the existing fossil fuel markets.

By the way despite a huge increase in the amount of "green energy" produced by germany last year, they have also burned more fossil fuels then they ever have in history, same story in China, the US and other European countries.

"America" doesn't have plans. It's just a bunch of senile dumbasses passing public money onto their biggest donors.

Iran has to worry about self-preservation since Israel absolutely will use nuclear weapons.

Yea I suppose the maintenance of those systems provides some employable benefit. So let's say 1000 contractors, is that worth ~500million in tax breaks over 6 years? I'd say absolutely not. If that number were 100x or even 10x maybe, but ultimately it's 500million stolen by the private entities based on exaggerated employment claims and dubious accounting.
