In that case they should at least make a good decision every now and then, due to randomness.

WW1 was not a land dispute.

Austria wanted to punish Serbia because of the death of their crown prince. Subsequent events led to an escalation of hostilities between Germany/Austria and France/UK/Russia.

Additionally, do not forget that Wilhelm Friedrich Gauss' health was undermined by his spring and summer work at the beginning of the 19th century surveying Hanover.

You are a few abstractions too deep if you think you need knowledge of quantum mechanics to know how a computer works.

It is possible to build a computer with mechanical relays. Not a trace of quantum physics in sight here. Your statement seems proper evidence of what Bill Nye means.

You do not have kids or you are lucky with them. If I would not push my 10 year old daughter around a little bit, she would gladly sit all day in front of the TV or the computer doing nothing. She does have the brains, if she studies, she gets good grades. But she has a tendency of rather doing nothing and not to want to think about anything.

Spiderman vs. the then whole X-Man team was already done in the sixties (through a misunderstanding of course). The writers let him beat them almost single-handedly. There was no real winner then because the misunderstanding was cleared up in the fight.

But underlying all this, it seems that the US American belief that you should have the complete right as a parent to decide how to raise your children, even if it is against their well being, is not new.

That's why I use claws-mail

Both brothers are dead and their hostage is freed

The police officer which was murdered by the terrorists was also a muslim.

It seems that the practical implementation of sharia IS a tyrannical nanny state.

for the Ignoble Prize!

The thing is that I remember reading it in Elektor around 1982 or 1983. I think in the context of an electronics show.
