Often I find it fun to do that too. Poking holes in extreme statements I mean.

Anyone caught on the construction site will be shot for for trespassing in a secure location.
In that case I wouldn't want to be a construction worker there!
Air filtration, chemicals for narcose/desinfectant/pre and post op medicine, a couple of people busy, hospital heating.
A sex change operation is quite expensive, even just energy wise. It may cost more to change from female to male than there can be saved.
Especially since adding those parts may not change a woman from semi coldblooded to warmblooded.
Although, if every woman did that the energy consumption would dropping quite far in a hundred years.
Oh and GPP probably meant whenever reasonably possible.
If the xbox would have been standby anyway then it doesn't matter. It's even unwise to add an appleTV's standby to it since however little that may be it's fully wasted.
If stuff like forcefields are allowed then you should just give your ship a General Products hull.
Well, you could end each conflict by lobbing a few ICBM's at the enemy. That'd stop them for sure.
These weapons are an alternative to lobbing nukes. A nicer alternative, something akin to the difference between removing a tumor with a scalpel or with a sledgehammer. Neither is fun for the tumor, but the surrounding tissue prefers the scalpel.
Decelerating it with a magnetic field isn't feasible. The current in the railgun does 2 things:
1. It makes a hell of a magnetic field
2. It runs through the projectile. That current undergoes a Lorentz force due to the magnetic field. The Lorentz force moves the projectile.
How are you going to induce that current in a projectile that is heading towards you? Without it the magnetic field will not influence the projectile.
And that is besides the technical challenges in making a magnetic field with enough strength to stop this while enveloping the entire ship.
I'd upgrade the goalkeeper, but I am Dutch so that was to be expected.
That squared in "speed squared" is much of the fun.
Nah, the terrorist would attack during a new moon.
Luckily the shell rotates together with the planet. Although I can't imagine that that makes it easy.
Depleted uranium has the tendency to ignite with air at 700 ÂC. It may be so that the compression heating from the speed exceeds that temperature. In that case the projectile may turn into a nice cloud of poisonous uranium oxide. On your ship.
In short: I'd advise a tungsten coating around the uranium if they go that way. The hull of the target ship will strip away the tungsten. The friction will make it exceed 700 ÂC. The scientists working on this probably already know that.
While oxygen is the most common oxidizing agent it is not the only one or even the strongest one. Oxidizing just bears a similar name because usually oxygen is the oxidizer. Chlorine is more powerful and fluorine is even stronger than that.
Some nasty stuff like ClF3 will oxidize with the silicon in sand, expelling the oxygen.
Not only with oxygen. Chlorine and fluorine oxidize stuff way faster. That is why ClF3 is so much "fun".
(burns sand, burns concrete, burns water, burns glass, burns workbenches, burns researchers, burns labs, burns buildings. All while emitting nasty fluorine based gasses like large quantities of HF. Fun stuff.)
I always search for a version that doesn't require pointless rights. That one may be paid.
Why does $GAME need to access my location data?
Why does $NOTE_APP need to access my contacts?
Direct money isn't as expensive as a virus that modifies my bank transfers.
