Will I fast until sunset for Yom Kippur?

Resolved
YES

I haven't eaten anything since sunset and am already fairly hungry.

I already drank some water because I was thirsty, which I view as more critical (I knew I was on track for a bad headache) and I will not be counting that against me. It's only if I ingest food before the official sunset time tomorrow (6:35 PM) that I will fail this market.

I have a complicated relationship with Judaism. I was raised Jewish but tend to consider myself more of an atheist. Still, of all the Jewish holidays, I've found Yom Kippur to be somewhat meaningful, because it makes me more grateful for my fortune in always having enough to eat. On the other hand, I only have so much willpower.

I'm certain that I could fast for Yom Kippur, but I'm not sure how principled I actually am. Since I turned thirteen, my fasting record has been like 50-50.

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

Still no headache. I keep getting proven wrong on that front

At this point I would say that victory is assured. Still no headache! I think it will happen after I eat though (this happened on a previous Yom Kippur)

@Conflux I"m going all in.

Update: Just got up (part of my strategy was to sleep late) and worked on some CS first thing. My headache is mostly gone, which is very surprising to me. I predict a return.

but this is looking quite bullish!

@Conflux You got this.

About to go to bed. Iโ€™m developing a headache from hunger, but I might solve it with Advil which I wouldnโ€™t count against my fast. It will be worse when I sleep late tomorrow morning.
