Spoiler alert: it very likely wasn't consensual.

We made rocks glow with the power of lightning.

Not with that attitude.

Absolutely, just like there's some things a horse can do that a car just can't.

I don't plan on buying a horse or needing to do those things, and I don't think the vast majority do either.

The end result is that there will still be ICEs in niche applications, but those who know how to operate them and the supply chains that currently make them cheap and dominant will slowly die off.

But solar panel costs are falling way faster than battery costs.

We also use it for engine displacement.

The super credits used to unlock the second battle pass can also be found in game in a relatively healthy amount (including in the first battle pass), making unlocking that second battle pass very possible without spending real currency.

Our heat pump didn't really kick in the resistive auxiliary heat until temps were well below 0°F, but humidity also plays into that. It wasn't ever running the resistive heat exclusively.

If sized correctly, heat pumps also don't really like setbacks in the winter. Just set the thermostat to whatever and leave it -- don't have it cool down at night and warm back up in the morning.

*since 2020.

If my cowboy math is correct (assuming two parents and two children), that comes out to about 292 people per year or 876 since 2020.

With a population the size of the United States (330 million), that means that, for a given year, 0.00009% (rounded up) of that population dies as a result of a family annihilation. For comparison, around 40,000 people (including around 1,000 children) die in vehicle accidents annually in the US.

Not that family annihilations aren't horrible. They are. But, from a purely statistical perspective, there are much more frequent horrible things that we don't talk about as much, for a variety of reasons.
