Germany is shutting down the power plants because they are very expensive to operate and there is still no place to store radioactive waste - the state with the largest amount of nuclear power plants (Bavaria obviously - if there is a German state acting like a selfish prick then you can count on it being Bavaria) vehemently refuses to store the waste on their soil.
It is more than you think. I have disc brakes on all of my bicycles and I service them myself. There is always a lot of brake dust mixed with grease on the brake calipers and on the lower parts of the fork.
Base load generation is a circular argument. This term was invented to describe the only way early coal power plants could work - load following was impossible, it took very long and cost a lot of money to lower or raise the amount of power an early coal power plant. This is the only reason why there is base and peak load. If you have enough (as in "can cover any expected peak load at any time") generation capacity of load following power plants, base load generation will be obsolete.
No company has a proven ability to survive. I have seen a fair share of companies that were older than a century going down inside few years.
And as for leaving the Bay Area, wrong continent. My cousin lives in the Bay Area, I stayed in the EU even though I earn a third of what he earns - my job is far less stressful and the money I earn is quite enough even in this very expensive part of Germany.
I wouldn't consider real estate anywhere near prime when you have no daylight for half a year. I've lived near Helsinki for a while, the utter lack of sunlight in winter made me even more depressive and the very bright summer nights made sleeping well difficult. Global warming will probably make the area even more depressing due to clouds and rain.
Look up why the Americans replaced liquid metal reactors in their only liquid metal reactor submarine with conventional pressurised water reactors and why the Soviets never again built liquid metal reactor submarines after the Alfa class and the K-27 accident, with the first submarine of the Alfa class being scrapped just a couple of years after comissioning and second one having its reactors replaced with PWRs. While you are at that, read about the Monju reactor accident. Please also note that all Gen IV reactors only exist on paper. Not one of these has been built.
Just how stupid is that kind of argumentation? Everybody has a freedom of association, so the workers have a right to join a union. Going by your logic, if Musk does not like it, he can just close his company - after all a company is also derived from the freedom of association, amongst other.
A molten salt reactor has never been operated commercially. Only a couple of research reactors were built and this won't change any time soon - the required engineering is seriously difficult and expensive. Back in the 1970ies when Germany had to make a decision whether to build a molten salt reactor or a pebble bed reactor, the horrendous difficulty of engineering (NB! We are talking about West Germany - the engineering heart of the world) was the reason why the Juelich Nuclear Research Center decided to build a pebble bed reactor (also very difficult, but less so). Please explain how exactly a reactor that is so notoriously difficult to build would be cheaper.
Nuclear power plants are not emission free. Look at any nuclear power plant and you will see one or more thin chimneys there. This is the Krypton-85 exhaust.
Well, three of the former soviet republics (I assume you mean these when you write FSR) are both in EU and in Schengen now, so open borders it is. The border between Russia and Belarus is also open for the respective citizens.
You'd be surprised. It is like the Nguyen surname in Vietnam - 40% of the population have it. It is anecdotal evidence, but all my Arab colleagues at the company I work for have Mohammed as their first name, so others have to called them Mohammed the Elder, Mohammed the younger, Mohammed the new guy, Mo and so on.
Shooting for legs is fine for a German cop. Actually even shooting at the tarmac in front of a person. Hitting a leg with a pistol at 20 meters is not difficult. Like I said, you guys are nuts, and not in the psychiatrig drugs taking way - nothing wrong about these, I take some myself. Center of mass targeting is military, not police and police should not behave like military because that way they will consider citizens being their enemies.

From my experience, the people who smirk and say that life is inherently unfair are usualy the assholes who make the life unfair in first place.
If there is no draft, some sort of selection bias can very well be the case.
But it is okay to have mentally unstable in the military of all places?
To be fair, von Bismarck (it's an old name and predates the modern "mark" spelling) intended to suppress socialists that way.
Yep. Because every other part of my commuter bike usually stays clean - I use another bike during bad weather and yet another for offroad.

Take socket 2011. There are actually several electrically incompatible versions of that for no good reason.

So you won the lottery and now you think it was more than a strike of luck? Well, think again.

Soviet construction quality was bad already, current Russian construction quality is even worse. I wouldn't bet on a speedy completion.
If flyash is that radioactive, why isn't it mined for nuclear fuel?
I have a Sony phone (Xperia Z5). Its camera sucks even compared to my very old Sigma SD9.
There are more similarities than between, say, Bavaria and NRW and both are states of Germany.

Christian kings derived their power from god.
You are missing my point - for that company the NeXTStations were a viable product.
