You have to remember that people generally wore long sleeve clothing and hats. They did not expose much skin to the sun historically

Then we agree, nice. I don't know the costs of those repairs so I'll take your word for it.

Not economically viable to build new, yes. But to run existing ones until they need major renovations?

Like they already built the damn things. It would be wasteful to just shut them down, especially if replaced with coal and gas.

Or could you provide me with some sources on why running existing nuclear plants is too expensive?

I'm so glad Swedish schools have mostly ditched memorization (maybe too much sometimes though)

Swimming maybe? Is that an option?

Well what ELSE do you eat? Adding salad and not removing other stuff will not do much. And what do you drink?

Well the point is that people who had a bad reaction to mosquito bites tend to avoid getting them. Therefore they tend to live longer because they also happen to avoid the diseases, live longer and have more babies. They don't need to understand anything.

The point is that the itching evolved because it could be beneficial for us. The bites are not unpleasant in themselves as you say. They are unpleasant because we evolved to feel them unpleasant. It is the same as sex being pleasant. It is that way because it is beneficial.
