Iran is so near to everything in Middle East: Saudi Arabia/UAE, Hormuz, Israel. And all these are direct enemies of Iran or friends with the USA. It's unavoidable to be targeted. Whoever approaches these will be affected. Just for reference, Iranian missiled can reach southern Italy.

To make a bunch of plastic toy bricks a multi billion company you have to produce very special ones. LEGO is a marvel of human entrepreneurship, mechanical, designing and marketing. Diverse and totally different professions should cooperate together with a lot of innovation. To make one characteristic is doable, all of them is very difficult.

I can't imagine how I and hundreds of millions of others can heat their homes during cold nights without fossils or a 30cm thick XPS insulation, about which hardly anyone talks about. I have solar on the roof and batteries and they are totally dead for 2.5 months in a row in a sunny country.

How can millions of car batteries be managed efficiently without heavy environmental damage? EVs don't scale for all even with serious infra (recycling, on spot change, fast chargers).

The only viable solution is to continue burning and burning, if we don't want to severely degrade our quality of life: now fossils, a little woodchips like Sweden and in the end biofuels, synthetic fuels and hydrogen. And let anyone use nuclear at their own taste. Solar/batteries cannot extend beyond a small window and wind is not reliable.

All actors already know your age with 99% accuracy: tech giants (Google/Meta etc through your searches/choices) and government though your... birth. The same holds for your gender, job, spouse and more. And they share all of it to many other endpoints. They just want age verification to cover the rest 1% and to transfer the responsibility to the user.

The problem with any online age verification system is not only that many other info is leaked (personal, IP address etc) but even the fact that YOU apply for such a service and might use it for nasty things.
