You and 18,000 other crazy people!

I'm rooting for you. If you stay perfect, you need to buy a bar and let us all drink for free for a night.

I find this concept interesting:

If I die and everything just goes black forever, as is purposed by atheism, then I was THE ONLY real being in the universe. If I'm the only thing keeping the lights on, then I'm actually uniquely special. Because reality ceases to exist - all other life forms are not co-equal 'viewing windows' of the universe. If my individual view of the universe stops when I die, then there really isn't anybody else out there. You're all just constructs of my brain.

It seems odd to think that everything stops when I stop. I don't think that's how it goes, though.

There's no difference between streaming it and faking ignorance. Nobody has to know...

Yep. The EV equation is beginning to go from "environmentally friendly" to "strategically important". The US government knows that non-renewable energy scarcity will be an issue in the mid-term, even if one party is still beating the "fake news" drum to rile up their ignorant voting bloc.
