This is likely a pretty big win for China/Russia if he follows through with it - USA has advanced nuclear weapon simulation capabilities which almost certainly outstrip theirs, so has a reduced need to conduct non sub-critical tests.

For the last one, why does the "born on a Tuesday" information change the result? I don't see how it isn't equivalent to "born on a day", since the day of the week has no connection to the rest of the scenario. I understand why "at least one boy" does matter.

Quite. Sites that have resources and influence will be fine - they can either comply with the rules or will be given soft exemptions. It's small and new communities that will suffer.

Indeed. The goal of the British legal system is to appear serious. Justice is an occasional byproduct.

Current energy sources are ~all either from solar radiation (indirectly for fossil fuels) or nuclear fission. Tidal energy is cool because it is to a rough approximation from neither of them!

I can't work out what the best ratio of soldiers/workers in. It seems that for the first 30 seconds or so you need almost all soldiers to expand fast, but after that?

There's a lot of luck involved too, sometimes you'll just get dogpiled by two neighbours and there's not much you can do, but at least it's fast.

It loses it at some key points to aid visual clarity (and I guess cut the CGI costs), like Minas Tirith being on a featureless plain rather than surrounded by farmland.

Fakes are better than mocks if only for the 100x superior debugging experience.

The energy produced from burning it would come from somewhere else, which on average won't be 0 CO2 either.

Yeah, this seems fine to me. I believe my general waste is also incinerated though so I wish they'd encourage adding the soft plastics to that to simplify recycling - it might lead to more hard plastics being recycled!

If you don't provide lunches for the children then their parents need to pay for them anyway. Just tax more if you don't already have a budget, this isn't a case where there would be radically different spending patterns without government intervention.

Which maintenance tasks, why does it require us to be unconscious, why can't we apply constant energy towards them? Lots of interesting questions to answer

Some of these have different pronunciation (depending on accent?), e.g. parish vs perish

Lots of countries don't wash their commercially grown eggs (and have a much lower % from factory farms), which greatly improves shelf life in shops etc.
