now the trick is going to be how long it takes to reuse that hardware (along with remembering and finding the saved baggie of goodies).

    In 1925, some 57 years after Congress had first attempted to specify the spot, the problems surrounding the originally misplaced marker were brought up before the US Supreme Court. In order to amicably remedy this original surveying error, the US Supreme Court then redefined the point of the Four Corners, officially moving the Four Corners point roughly 1,800 feet (550 m) east, to where the original survey had first held it to be all along, and where it remains to this day, duly marked.[6] This initial survey error has resulted in some longstanding misunderstandings about the correct location of the Four Corners marker, some of which remain to this day.

    well shoot. I guess I gobbled up this longstanding misunderstanding, even though it has been corrected for longer than it was ever wrong.

    I have no response to your actual question; but pennies won't kill someone at terminal velocity (25 mph or so). plus there isn't much mass behind it, and it's a flat disc, so it's not likely to fall straight down anyway (generally lowering the speed as it tumbles)

    according to the article, NZ has its own rating system. but the near entirety of the article is just talking about why it was refused classification (which apparently it hasn't been entirely refused yet), and then how other games have skirted around the restrictions (renaming drugs to other things).

    ok I have no knowledge of poetry, but what the heck is going on with these line breaks?

    is it meant to be read in a certain cadence based on it?

    but doesn't the twilight implementation sorta give you a bunch of counter points from your original argument?

    like sure some of them are formal, but it's definitely not solely the 1800s aesthetic you had an issue with.
