Not a football guy by any means, but an average European rugby player would have a hard time making the cut at a D-1 college let alone in the NFL. Considering how obscene the money is in American pro sports (only F-1 and the top tier international football teams pay more) there don't appear to be too many people making the transition from European sports to the NFL. We do however readily accept the cream of the world's crop into the NBA, MLB and NHL on a fairly regular basis.

To get extremely pedantic about it, sweet corn is for direct human consumption.
Feed corn is still fed to humans - but only in highly processed states. Corn meal, corn syrup, and such.
You forgot the ultimate stage of feed corn processing, as meat.

A person sitting next to you on a park bench listening to you talk doesn't invade your privacy because you know he is there. A person listening to you over a microphone installed on the back side of the very same bench when you appear to be alone does.

If they're so civilized the government shouldn't have a problem letting the fathers, mothers, brothers, uncles etc... of the 77 victims have some alone time with him one at a time. If one of them chooses to be less than civil the good news is the prison would have an empty cell/room/suite (whatever they call their rehabilitative accommodations up there, vacation rental?) they could move into on short notice.

Or do like GM did with the EV1 back in the 90's and never actually sell them, only leases. That way you get to enforce contract terms like "thou shalt not disassemble".

I tend to work on making new games for old consoles. I know I can't put a roof over my head doing that no matter how much I enjoy it. That doesn't stop me from doing it in my spare time while I work a REAL job.
But that doesn't mean you have to allow other people (including "incorporated" people) to make money off your work.
Wait, what just happened there, did I advance the argument for the music industry?

But if you instead insist on driving exclusively on ice roads on the sides of mountains in northern Alaska in December, well, God bless you, but your first breakdown is likely to either bankrupt you or kill you.

323 meters, thank you very much. Which at 1,059 feet is 59 feet to spare when it comes to mountain-hood. But admittedly it is about 200 feet from the German-Belgian-Dutch border.
