We already have 1 example of earth existing, so we know its part of the set.

In an infinite universe every configuration of matter that can possibly exist will just due to the laws of statistics. Meaning in an infinite universe there's are infinite identical copies of this solar system exactly as it is, isn't, and everything in-between. Since you obviously can't observe your life if you're dead, in such a universe you will always experience your point of view from the position of a living copy somewhere else that was identical up until that point. Now of course its not the other you physically. But if the mind is exactly the same it is you mentally.

Its more or less the star trek transporter problem taken to a logical extreme. If you step into a star trek transpoter and are reassembled with identical memories elsewhere, are you still you? If its yes, it must also be yes for the universal thought experiment.

Unless the universe is truly infinite, then from the point of view of your continuity of consciousness, you will never die, because they will always be somewhere in infinity where you're exact current consciousness picks right up after you die without a blip.

The neat thing about pardons is if you accept one you lose your 5th amendment rights around the subject, and be compelled to testify.

I did the same while working full time, it was worth it though, paid for itself within 3 years

I think that's by design, no need for gas chambers when you can just tee up mother nature.

I could understand maybe a black bear if the person in question was huge, but you cant win against a grizzly in any world without a weapon.

In many cases there is no owner, they're from a completely separate culture that happened to occupy the same region in the past.
