Black, no flavoring aside from the tea, brewed strong with a small splash of milk and 1-2 tsp of sugar for a large mug.

This is on .ml, so I'm sure we'll see some of it shortly. Or this post disappears out of a window.

Let me answer that with a book title: Life, the Universe, and Everything.

The potential existence of sentient life out there? Sure. Space is big.

Anything that's ever interacted with us or is likely in a position to ever be able to do so? No. Space is big.

Getting banned from .ml is ... pretty much expected sooner or later, unless you're a tankie.

Don't forget the terrible crime of russophobia, which is when you point out the shitty things Russia does. Only "Amerikkka" bad.

It emphatically does not mean that. Tankies tend to shill for Russia and China (CCP), neither of which is communist or socialist. I don't even mean that in a "no true scotsman" way, they are literally market economies with astronomical wealth inequality.

Because when you simply ask for donations, the vast majority of people don't.

I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone’s tastes to make a “trust me”-style recommendation like this.

You do. Also, if you ask specifically for movies you have to be unprepared for, won't that make you prepared for them?

It does. Heat conduction is faster when the temperature difference is large. Air soaks up a lot of heat, so still air is a poor heat conductor. If you're blowing it around, you're increasing the amount of fresh, colder air that can interact with the food.

One spoonful and a couple of breaths is small enough stuff to have a relatively small effect and a lot of error margin, though.

I just thought "hur hur, Nazeem" and save scumming skill checks, dice rolls and tricky input in mostly singleplayer games, without any nasty precedence or concurrency issues. Extending it to multiplayer and also being inside the game seems, uh, complicated. I'll give it an undercaffeinated try:

Each player gets an individual "marker" they can place at their current time, and a function to restore the entire universe state to that point.
"Whose marker is when" seems like it needs to be part of that state. Otherwise, reverting and then having someone else reload a formerly earlier, now future/orphaned state... just sounds like a clusterfuck. Or it's unproblematic and just weird, I'm not sure.

Keeping memories across reloads would at least not happen "naturally", since everyone has their exact brain state reverted. You could just say it does for the purposes of the experiment, but it seems like it makes things more complicated.
At least, remembering stuff through someone else's reload is right out: everyone on the planet quickly ends up with a bunch of memories that have no longer happened, and no way to tell what's what. Psych horror time!

Whoever saves first does get to revert everything since then, but assuming no memory retention, you could still safely shit talk your boss all day long, at least. If their checkpoint reverts yours, they will forget the rant, you can still revert. It would be further back than you intended then, but you would be blissfully unaware of that fact. Of course, you also wouldn't remember the rant, so it doesn't sound very cathartic either.

But, if memories are retained, Boss could reload on you - they now remember the rant and you don't, which sounds like a bad Christmas Party. While reloading would still be a win for you, you wouldn't know to actually do it, and could risk saving at a position where you've screwed yourself. Common risk of save scumming.
