This would be a hideous EMI generator. It would be insecure by design.
Power lines are not designed to be constant impedance, and not designed to propagate high frequencies.
Ever hear a high voltage power line insulator sizzle when it's raining? That sort of noise will wipe out any information being transmitted down the line.
This will likely result in custody of evidence becoming ever more critical. Videos of alleged criminals would have to get into police hands and protected from alteration quickly and with a documented history. Physical evidence will become more important as video evidence becomes less trustworthy.
Consider the Tomb Raider Level Editor. Fans can (and do) make very detailed adventures based on existing game engines. It's a lot of work, but a few people can make a professional quality product for only nominal amounts of money. That puts big studios at a substantial economic disadvantage.
It seems that way initially, but there are biological limitations to how much wanking a guy can do. Skin wears out faster than it can be replaced, bleeding starts, scabs form. That limits how much a guy can do. Also, long term erections damage internal parts of the penis (Peronie's syndrome is one possible result.) Third, once orgasm is achieved, most men lose interest in sex for a while. If all a guy does is masturbate, even that becomes not very interesting eventually.
Then, the Darwinistic aspect also has to be considered. Guys who are only interested in mechanical sex remove themselves from the gene pool; problem solved.
the people who own a bunch of land they don't live on, who then demand money in perpetuity if anyone else wants to live there
Are you referring to the government? That description certainly fits government-owned property, and property not owned by the government requires payment of property taxes in perpetuity.
If you're referring to property owned by non-government entities, those entities have to pay taxes, and those taxes are nominally used to benefit everyone. If the owner doesn't pay taxes, after a number of years the government can seize the property.
Looked at another way, it seems like you're complaining about people who've earned enough money to buy (and develop) property, and you want to leech off their efforts and live there rent-free, having done nothing to deserve it.
We already have too many deeply stupid people in Congress, and your plan wouldn't improve things. On the plus side, the moral character of the general population is probably superior to most members of Congress, and 2 years limits the amount of time they'd have to become corrupted.
Nice idea for just the lot in question and the area surrounding it. Another possibility is walling off the area as an unrecoverable toxic waste site. Same wall, different reason.
The federal government has many options for dealing with this. Easiest is just to throw every case out of court as frivolous. Another is to assign the maximum fine for barratry to each lawyer that brings a case.
But wait, it gets better. It's well known that the Mexican border is an entry for drug cartels and murderers. Document that some murderer has used this divided plot as an entry, and start trying the owners as accessories to murder.
On a more basic level, many places have laws prohibiting lots below a minimum size. The division of the lot may not be legally possible. That would make it possible to sue the organization attempting to sell the tiny plots for fraud.
Of course, there's also the moral aspect. Those trying to prevent building the wall are engaging in reckless endangerment, and deliberately attempting to thwart the most fundamental responsibility of any government, to protect its citizens.
They are already earning enough from the ISP business to keep up their infrastructure and that's ALL that matters.
That's stagnation. To handle future traffic increases, they need to be able to upgrade their hardware. To expand coverage to people who don't already have broadband also requires money.
Fine Intel 2 shares of Intel stock per instance of infringement, or the cash equivalent, payable to the developers of Minix. That would put ownership of Intel into the hands of the Minix developers, or bankrupt Intel, or both.
Soil is not a good conductor of heat.Unless you access deep into the water table, preferably a flowing aquifer, your intended thermal sink will be a useless frozen lump.
It ought to be easier to establish streaming audience numbers, particularly if they had an easily accessed free official website. OTA, by comparison, is almost impossible to track. This would appear to be a case of team owners not understanding their own best interest.
Unlike boxing, the goal of football is not to damage people. It's incidental, and they are trying to minimize it without damaging the excitement that's inherent to the game. They could, for example, make everyone wear 100 pound hobbles on each foot, or make everyone wear Michelin-Man uniforms, but that would tend to make the game less interesting. Eventually, some sort of optimization will be developed with improved equipment and rules, where players recognize and are paid for the risk, are compensated for the damage they receive and penalized for the damage they cause, etc. etc.
Your attitude - "The game should be banned." - is no better than any bully or dictator.
The amount that you can interrupt other people in your office with loud political blather depends on factors such as how valuable you are to the company and how much other people complain. Generally, you'll be asked subtly to STFU. If you don't, sooner or later you'll be fired.
Facebook has a business model, and that business model wisely involves not disgusting the majority of potential customers. The majority of potential customers don't want to see unexpected nudity, and don't want their children to see unexpected nudity. Wisdom and decency are not weaknesses.
If you write the words outside of a HOA's control, don't be surprised if it takes a really, really long time for electricity to be restored the next time there's an outage. Or that heating oil delivery doesn't happen. Or you can't find anyone who'll take your money to plow your driveway after it snows. Or that you have fewer and fewer friends, and that those people who will speak to you are rude.
Assholes tend to live unhappy lives, and they don't even realize that the reason bad things happen to them is because they're assholes.

This is characteristic of the left. Their primary aim is destruction, but failing that they try to make it difficult for others to live.

Your claim of treason is comical and pathetic. Without Trump, we'd have the demonstrated treason of Hillary Clinton who supplied uranium to Russia.
They're called Democrats.

Alas, no. A Coefficient Of Performance of 1.0 (resistive heating) corresponds to a HSPF of about 3.4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSPF.

Wrong. He's narrowcasting.
Soccer is too disorganized, it's like watching a net full of fish after they've been dumped onto a ship's deck.
Man up? A soccer player on the line of an American football team would fare as well as a pedestrian in a car accident.
