Yes, roads are important. Attributing costs to who or what is causing those costs is still a good idea.

Paying for roads is fine, paying for 10 lanes of roads that only exist because the real costs aren't included in all kinds of decision making is dumb.

Sure, some places basically require personal transport. Some of it because it is really rural, some of it because it is build to require cars (which is something that can be changed, although it takes time). The problem with cars being the default for everything in everyones mind is just, that possible alternatives aren't even considered and thus even more car requirements are locked in for decades to come.

You can't get rid of cars, not everywhere and in many places not right now. But you have to start and look for alternative ways to manage things so you can reduce the need over time.

You can turn it off/remove the stuff though. Annoying, but tbh. less work than every time I had to dig into ProtonDB to get some issues resolved.

Sooner or later the issue will be that some software probably won't be available any more for your system.

No one is talking about building new coal plants or similar. Comparing good low carbon options, nuclear is still very expensive.

It wasn't just protesting though. It's hard to get details and it might very well be that Berlin "over reacted", so I'll be looking forward to see what the courts decide, the 4 already have sued against the order to leave.

None of that is true. There is due process, no hit squads. They will have the ability to bring this to court (a process which they already started). And deportation would happen to where they come from, so other EU countries and the US.

Not at all, nothing in the post you replied to is actually true.

Most people suggest nuclear baseload with renewables+battery for peaks.

Except baseload doesn't really exist anymore in a power grid with lots of renewables. Those renewables already produce 100% of what is required at times and those times will become more common, and small gaps can be bridged with batteries etc. The real gap with renewables is going to be those times when there is no sun and wind for days, which apparently happens only a few times a year for a week or so at a time. And building a bunch of hugely expensive power plants and then have them sit idle for 95% of the time isn't a good plan.

Totally off topic, but from the thumbnail I thought this was a post about some new Factorio mod or maybe space exploration base.

As far as I'm aware I haven't seen even a single Wes Anderson movie, but I have a few on my watch list. Looking forward to see what his "style" is all about.
