B-52 is few years older, but still flying. :)
Miner can choose freely what transactions to include or not include in block. "Empty block" means it has just one transaction - coinbase transaction, which creates new bitcoins.
Have used it to buy airplane tickets from airBaltic, as that's what they use for allowing you to pay with Bitcoin. Haven't asked me for any biometric data or voice or whatever. Just some passport data KYC. Which is kinda stupid, as I use it to buy airplane tickets from airline, where they also ask for my passport data anyway.
No. Taproot by itself is not a silver bullet privacy tech. Taproot just allows theoretically to do better stuff with coinjoins, etc. Actually taproot can sometimes even worsen your privacy, before there is more adoption of it.
Most of my friends seems to have seen it, except me. Living in a city centre have some downsides, like light pollution.

Can someone help me understand how fast Real Bedford could possibly get to the Premier League if they continue winning each league they play in?
They play Spartan South Midlands Football League Premier Division. That's Level 9 in the English league system. So, 8 years is a minimum, even if they win their league each year.
With their budget you could create club in, for example, Latvia, and would possibly get into UEFA European competitions in 3 years, starting from bottom.
Yes, freedom for Warsaw pact countries, but not yet in USSR.
Latvians still had to fight to regain freedom until 1991.
With nuance - for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia it actually ended in 1991, when Soviet occupation ended. True also for other "Eastern block" nations, although they had little bit more freedom.
Can Monero scale way better than Bitcoin?
It can't. Monero transactions consume more blockspace and takes more CPU time to verify.
JoinMarket is decentralized protocol, people could re-implement it in other languages and add to wallets (currently it's Python using Twisted).
Still not a crime, until you deploy them to the victims. I could play around with viruses in my lab for research. Actually, I did wrote a few as a teenager for educational purposes back in the 1990s.
