They don't need to be completely unknowledgeable about the case. I served on a murder jury with a fucking sheriff's deputy who not only knew the generalities of the defendants case but the goddamn arresting officers (she raised her hand over and over to the questions during selection). Defense still seated her. Wasn't a bad idea either since she and I were the only ones that took some time thinking about it in the deliberation.

Jury is not allowed to know about pretrial proceedings.

Oh that fascist did it personally. Now that is something. Usually they want to create a level of abstraction. He both wrote the affidavit and assaulted the reporters.

Yes, but if you spend the money making a reactor, you really should just use it. Uranium is pretty cheap, it's the reactor that's expensive.

Nuclear is not, and cannot be, a gap coverage solution. Due to xenon/iodine poisoning and decay heat management you need to keep a reactor critical as long as possible to be economical. That's independent of the problem of keeping the water hot that fossil fuel generators share. You can't just turn a reactor on and off.

There's lots of ways that you could solve the problem. It's not designed to be solved.

And to be clear, they're mostly down because the nightly boil of the ice cream mixture wasn't completed due to overfilling the machine making it unable to reach the temp. The service company refuses to let the workers know that and the machine doesn't volunteer that information.

The service contract company is absolutely a US syndicate that's harder to export. Only the British empire was able to effectively export it's graft wholesale I think.

Only if the FBI is using rainbow tables of artworks to decrypt your hash I think. /s

Courts decide what a creative work is, not your personal attestation. Courts will not decide that your password is a creative work, in pretty much any context. You can't copyright a password.

Trench warfare with drones.

That sounds low enough to ensure a dystopian future. It could be much higher and still get there easily.
