We'll send him halfway back, and let you decide whether or not to bring him the other half.
If it's still hooked up, it might be useful as an emergency power source for keeping cell phones and USB power banks charged in the event of a long-term power outage.

My family was without power for three days recently, and about a week a few years ago.
That's not true. All nuclear weapons
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. ICBM. You'll note that there is no "N" in that initialism. The presence or absence of a nuclear weapon is irrelevant. The missile itself is what I am talking about.
The missile, and all of the essential technology for building and operating it, are subject to export controls. ITAR and EAR, which apply not only to the physical items, but to the IP associated with those items as well.
ITAR doesn't prevent SpaceX from moving its base of operations to another country.
ITAR allows SpaceX to take the name of the company to another country, and that's about it.
Not the hardware, software, IP, or anything they would need to actually conduct their operations from that country.
StarLink could (probably) be moved out of the US, and rely on foreign launchers to maintain their satellite constellations. But not SpaceX, unless the US government specifically permits them to do so. Which they won't.
SpaceX operates a fleet of privately owned ICBMs under license from the US government. Without the license and authority of the US government, SpaceX's fundamental operations would be criminal: You and I would be arrested if we tried to build an ICBM without government permission.
The intellectual property they are using is subject to ITAR regulation. Any American trying to transfer that IP outside of the US would be quickly indicted. Any foreign government using or authorizing the use of that IP would be heavily sanctioned.
If she is still financially reliant on her parents, you should abide by her wishes on the subject. You should not consider it a reflection of her relationship with you. She is doing what she needs to do to survive and thrive.
Eventually, she might choose to rely on you for financial support. But, you could be killed in a traffic accident, and she would still be dependent on their support. Even after you are supporting her financially, she still needs to do what she needs to maintain her relationship with them.
You should not consider her relationship with her parents to be a reflection on your relationship until she is capable of supporting herself, independent of both you and them.
Until then, she is being coerced, to some degree or another, and you should consider that coercion when evaluating her behavior.
I want to equip my vehicle with an annoyingly loud external speaker so that when someone near me does something dumb, I can personally shame them.
CB radios often had a "PA" switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood.
I'd prefer a "FlameThrower" button next to the horn.
Ah. I see. They are emitting a green light, so I know they're braking, and it's OK to cross.
But, it turns out that they're planning on turning into a driveway past the intersection, and not into the intersection I am crossing.
That's OK. I can check "impersonate a hood ornament" off my bucket list.
We already have this problem with turn signals: there are circumstances where it would be confusing and dangerous to use them in the manner prescribed by law, and to avoid dangerous ambiguity, they should actually be used much later than the law specifies.
YOU SHOULDNT GET IN FRONT OF ANYTHING YOU ARENT SURE IS STOPPING
This, exactly. This "plan" sounds terrible to me.
No, I'm not braking to turn at the intersection you're sitting in. I'm turning into a driveway just past that intersection. If you pull in front of the green light the government says I have to have on my vehicle, I'm going to t-bone you.
That's called "loitering".

They're talking about Melania, right?
Turn signal or not, you shouldn't be pulling out in front of them. You should be assuming they are turning into a driveway after the intersection, or that they mistook your intersection for the next one down the road, or that they left their turn signal on from a lane change 5 miles back.
Turn signals are lies until conclusively proven otherwise.
