Congratulations India! I had never considered that the moon's poles would be good for solar energy. My brain was stuck in the thinking of Earth's poles, but of course the moon doesn't have an atmosphere to get in the way of the light and make the poles colder and darker

I still don't know what the fuck the intended use of Resistance is
I feel like I just watched the entire movie in three minutes. There was even a final fight where the hero is on the brink of losing and uncovers a new well of power through desperate determination. And I still feel like I wasted my time.
No, it's $709 more per month. It's just being compared to 2021.
Are you sure? Likening it to the dot com bubble doesn't mean that the tech is never going to make an impact, it means that the behaviour of investors is irrational. After all, the Internet is very much still here and affects our lives enormously, but the dot com bubble also absolutely did burst
Sorry for phrasing it quite so grouchily. I didn't mean for it to come across like that, but re-reading it now it was quite rude of me
The small car is clearly a Volkswagen, the badge on the front is visible. It's a pre-facelift Polo mk5, though, and as a fellow tall person whose brother had one for a while I know I fit in it fine
Not to mention that at no point is anything about the society depicted as being somewhere actually good to live. The movie ends with defectors from decadence killing the god-king and presumably overturning the order he built, and it's framed positively
Looks like the author has just be ultra-strict about only showing countries with a Mediterranean coastline. Bosnia-Herzegovina does have a very small one, but Portugal doesn't
Although it would be quite funny to then include the UK on the basis of Gibraltar
Assuming you're referring to the IceCube neutrino observatory, yes (although I think it also does regular neutrinos, not just antineutrinos)
They do interact with other stuff a little bit. It's very difficult to detect them because they hardly interact with anything, but it's not absolutely nothing so it's not impossible to detect them. This is well beyond my level of physics knowledge, but apparently one such interaction is a process called inverse beta decay. High-energy antineutrinos that crash in to protons produce a pair of particles that is much more easily detectable. A rule of physics called lepton conservation, which is about the fundamental building blocks of particles involved in a reaction not changing, makes this pair of detectable particles identifiable as being caused by an incoming antineutrino.
There's gyro as in gyroscope, where the Y vowel sound is like the word "eye", and there's gyro as in the Greek sandwich where the Y vowel is more like the vowel sound in "sea". The latter is often seen only as "gyros" because that's what the actual Greek word is, but because that seems like a plural in English the S is sometimes dropped.
