While bicycles are quite convenient for commuting, I am not sure if there is a way for transporting groceries for an entire week for multiple people. Is there such a way? The only solution I see is doing groceries every day.

You can express disagreement loudly with the power in place while still following the laws and not causing "issues" in the way most people think about issues. Whether visa holders have such right depends on the countries however;

They're not acting against the country but against the government. The country may very well benefit largely from the government being impeded.

In my understanding, animations cannot be fully disabled on iOS (please tell me if I am wrong) while they can on Android. This leads to much better usability since you don't have to wait after every interaction.

Nuclear waste is a local problem. They're solid not gaseous. GHGs are a worldwide problem. Years don't matter if climate change puts an end to human civilization.

Even with resistive heating you don't use 7kW 100% of the time unless you are an extremely rich person attemping to heat multiple rooms all the time. 480MWh with 2k inhabitants would be 240kWh per inhabitant per day, or 7200 kWh per mo

480MWh is ~7kW for 3k people used continuously for an entire day. That looks gigantic unless you heat your entire house with resistive heating. One day for 20k inhabitants makes more sense I think. (1kW constant consumption)

I think I got monthly vitamin D supplements a while ago. Since the body stores it it was feasible to just take one large dose once a month. (however overdosing is still a possibility ; definitely never take a monthly pill daily).
