my grandmother wanted to be cremated and we had to fight the local branch of the Orthodox Church tooth-and-nail over it, because that would mean she wouldn't be present for the Resurrection. According to her will that was the whole point, she believed God was real and she didn't want to talk to him.

FrostPoint Dynamics has won a Gov Grant to continue R&D on anti-human encroachment capabilities. Overt and clandestine technology will allow Heard Island’s growing military to defend and even pre-empt any interference with our Sub-Antarctic island Sovereignty.

Sec of Health to non-aquatics : “If you feel like you’re submerged & drowning in this world; remember that a depth of 30’ and 2’ from the surface feels similar, and the best way to truly know the difference is to just keep swimming. They count on our despair, knowing 1” is all it takes. So swim.”
