I'll ask you since I'd like to know: I've heard that one of the most positive innovations for traffic lights is the inclusion of a "timer bar". A bar light along side the normal traffic signals indicates how long the single has until it changes. I've heard that the places it was tested vastly reduced the number of collisions and injuries. Is there any truth to that?

I don't know about timer bars, but in Bangkok they have countdown timers for both green and red. You always know exactly how many seconds until the light changes at a glance. Better than a timer bar, I would think.

Because you have no idea how little it costs to live. My necessities cost less than $15k per year. I could get even cheaper if I wanted to. I live alone, my rent is under $300 per month, and I don't waste money on crap I don't need (no tv, no internet at home, prepaid phone, etc.).

A big-boom drive is dependent on the number of nukes it can carry

No, it's really not (at least not in the sense you mean). It's only limited by the amount of relevant raw materials you have on hand (there are no limitations on weight or size with this kind of drive), and no other (currently achievable) propulsion tech can match the thrust/power of a nuclear pulse rocket. In other words: the same limitations apply to an ion drive (which is limited by the power-generating facilities you carry on board, and no, solar power won't work in INTERSTELLAR travel) without the other advantages.
