Yes, and if my grandma had a pair, she'd be my grandpa. The situation now is important, not a hypothetical situation somewhere in the hypothetical future. There is no king of EU, by the way. And EU members which currently are monarchies had the last execution in 1950 (mainland EU) and 1962 (Northern Ireland). Not that long ago, you say?
For this usage you can buy the cheapest LED bulbs at aliexpress. They tend to vary a bit in the colour temperature, but you pay something like $25 for a lot of 10.
So did, in fact, christians. Germany in WW1 and WW2 - a very christian nation back then, fortunately not so much anymore nowadays. USA in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, not to count several brush wars in South America and people killed indirectly by funding terrorists like Nicaraguan contras.

What freedom loving society are you talking about? USA is not one. For example, in the USA you can get arrested by the campus police and receive jail time for tresspassing if you aren't a student. There is no campus police in Germany in first place, I can freely walk through the campus and even listen to lectures (not supposed to do the latter, but from my experience nobody bothers to check).
And for me, personally, an uphill ride home after a long day at work is exactly what I need to finally relax and let it go. It helps that I live at a mountain and work in a valley.
Well, GP does have a point. The "likbez" program in the USSR was also a huge success, going from the tsarist Russia's 30% literacy rate to about 90% just before the second world war and 99.7% by the time Brezhnev came to power. That kind of improvement is without precedent, although the means to achieve it were, in some cases, questionable.
There are just too many intersections. Actually, GPS does me more good than harm because when I have cycled through a long route once with GPS cues, then I almost always manage to cycle the same path without help, just by the visuals, even if it is a long and complicated track. I do have difficulties navigating basic directions, but I am quite comfortable if I've actually been somewhere once, even after a decade.
Well, you have specified 700x28C, so 2130mm, that is about 84 inches. Since you have measured the rollout circumference I am inclined to believe your speed then, but my Garmin sometimes shows me a 80kph top speed and I know that it is impossible. My old Polar has also shown some strange speed readings when it picked up interference from tram powerlines.
We had tried pebble bed reactors in Germany. They did not work. AVR is now one of the highest contaminated reactor sites in the world, THTR was plagued with numerous technical problems, broken pebbles among other things and was prohibitively expensive to operate. The AVR technology was then sold to China and THTR technology to South Africa.
it might be that your bike computer is not entirely correctly calibrated. You will reach 35 mph max at 52-14 and 120 rpm cadence. 99 gear inches according to ritzelrechner.de, which, in my experience, is an excellent gear calculator.
At cadence that high I'd personally be afraid to cycle without clip-in pedals.
Well, according to the German insurer statistics, drivers were at fault in 90% of all car-bicycle accidents. This is actually way more than I thought, my gut feeling was at 75%.
The difference is probably that while where you live only trendy hipsters cycle, but here in Germany there are lots of casual cyclists from all classes.
Not negligible. First, if you stop, you'll have to accelerate again. No concern for a car, but cyclists have to use their own strength. Also when you stop, you'll have to put a feet on the ground otherwise you'll fall. Also, no concern for a car.
But this is just nitpicking, on your main message (When I need to look up something I stop, look it up and continue) I totally agree.
While there are too many crazy cyclists, in a bicycle-car collision the fault is in most cases with the driver, not the cyclist. Most of these were ignoring the cyclist's right of way when they were turning right or coming out of an alleyway.
Oh, and If you want my anecdotal evidence to beat yours: about a month ago I was cycling on a bicycle lane which was a part of the sidewalk. A van sped out of a workshop exit and nearly ran me over - "nearly" only thanks to my overtly expensive hydraulic disc brakes. When I complained that this was a bicycle lane, the driver got out, punched me in the face and drove away.
Maybe that's true in the Netherlands. On many of the roads in around Portland Oregon cyclists regularly reach 50 MPH (a tad faster than 80 KPH).
To reach 80 kph with a bicycle you've got to cycle down a steep hill and have a frying pan for a crank (on a road bike you'd need a 60 teeth chainring and 120 rpm of cadence to reach that speed). I live in the mountains and when decending, I can reach 65 kph on a 26" with slicks at a 48-11 gear, but no more - not possible to spin any faster.
And when climbing that kind of a hill, you'd have to be a pro to keep 25 kph all the way up.

Not sure if trolling or serious. I mean, even GDR was merely socialist.

Actually, the
part says everything that needs to be said about the safety of the nuclear power industry.
Well, there is no death penalty in the EU, so the "get murdered" part can happen to you in the USA, not in Europe.
Suse would be an obvious example.
Well, actually there are far worse ERPs out there than Dynamix Nav.
And if we build fusion reactors, we would not need uranium in first place.

Your point was?
Heh, fair enough, my English was particularly bad this morning.
No, that just shows that going for a PhD in CEE is not a hindrance for being a prick.

That is just one of many examples.
What is wrong with spike tires?

Germany is, in fact, trying. The test results this year are somewhat better than in 2009 and way better than in 2001.
It is far easier to run away from a knife than from a bullet, you know.

Here is a typical example (not my video, but I know the guy and I had my share of similar situations):
