Keep in mind that these were thrown into holes (some deep) as well as left on the surface. Replacing some posts a few summers back, I ran into a lot of these with the beer cans they came from.

It actually forbids cruel and unusual punishment. Being shot by a firing squad or hung are likely painful albeit very temporarily so. The French Guillotine was invented to be a humane execution device. People these days are looking for the perfect mix of humane and sanitary.

Firefox and IE copied this feature so fast they went back in time.

It's not just you, but I'm guessing you've never been in a tornado/hurricane shelter without power huddled around a battery powered radio listening to storm updates. Sometimes the all-clear takes more than a couple hours than what the original predictions were. New funnel clouds crop up from nowhere, or reminders that a hurricane's eye can be very large and the storm isn't over. Flash floods, mud slides, forest fires, etc. If cell phones all has their FM chips enabled, you'd have almost one battery powered radio for every person in the shelter. Some could be turned off or their batteries could be swapped.

This effectively bans him from petitioning the federal government (in person). Would the judge have inserted this order as a poison pill to force an appellate court to do something? It's awfully weird.

The original job of engineers was to build and use siege engines. An engineer's version of the Hippocratic Oath would involve not-not-killing people.

Reformed Jedi-ism watches IV-VI,II, III, and the Clone Wars series. Orthodox Jedi-ism watches laserdisc or VHS IV, only. Gnostic Jedi-ism watches only the Star Wars Christmas Special as a way to know the mind of Lucas. The movies are irrelevant to a Gnostic Jedi.

There is money in cheap things if they can be made cheaply enough and sold in high enough volume (having an advocate helps there).

I smell a summer blockbuster action movie!

Note the summary says "teachers' last names", so even worse, these might be the default passwords assigned to them by the sysadmin.

Thrice every use for low-flow toilets. Also, I've taken to pre-hand-washing some of my clothes since the "high efficiency" washing machine doesn't agitate properly, so I use more water than a standard washing machine in the process.

You can remove the Macbook from California, but you can never remove the California from the Macbook.

Next you'll be telling me that Pluto isn't a planet. I go by what I was taught: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North America, South America, Antarctica. Going by connected landmasses, and ignoring artificial separators like Panama and Suez canals, it should be four: America, Eurafriaisa, Australia, and Antarctica. But Australia the nation still uses the name for Australia the continent. Doesn't get my blood boiling.

There is no continent named "America". Americans are North American. Central Americans are North American. South Americans are South American. All of these people are from the Americas, but not America. To answer your question: Australia. Even the European Union works better for your example, despite not being a nation.
