That's just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.
And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

No, not directly. You'd have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).
Proliferation isn't a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It's primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.
The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.
The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that's far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.
But then you're looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).
Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I'm sure you're going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.
There's been zero evidence of any updates. Even his editor claimed she hadn't seen a single word of the book a couple years ago.
The issue is energy density. There's a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That's why they're so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).
The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.
That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he's written in the last decade.
I'd say your 10% is optimistic. It's been long enough that even if he does release it, I'd place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.
I enjoyed the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks which matches your criteria.
Just be aware that it's not finished and there's a good chance it never will be.
That is certainly a better value option if you can still get the drivers and amps for a reasonable price over there.
I went the DIY route as well and build 2 of the VBSS style subs. I wanted to build something bigger, but my wife vetoed that. AVS forum has plenty of information on design options you have.
It is a paradox because there's no objective, universal definition of tolerance. It's literally impossible to be tolerant of everything. So you're left with different forms of what intolerance people deem acceptable.
People make the same mistake about bigotry. It's impossible not to be a bigot. You just don't want to be the wrong kind of bigot. Now if only we could all agree on exactly what that was.
