The C++ standard doesn't forbid introducing side channels, so the answer to the question is yes.

It depends entirely on the context. For routes where total travel time is mostly governed by moving time, and the stationary time in stops is negligible, the capacity boost from double-deckers easily outweighs the longer (un)loading times.

ProxMox supports it, but it's not what the linked script does, nor is it officially supported by HAOS.

The study you're quoting also says that roughly half of the remaining 81% thinks that God has guided human evolution, so it does contradict OP's statement of 40% believing God created the Earth 10,000 years ago at all.

Not OP, but with supercapacitors you're talking about a wildly different amount of energy. A 5F/5V cap stores about 62 J, while a 2500mAh 1.2V AA battery stores 10 kJ. With three of them you can store almost 500x as much energy.
