Not the glass, the metal frame was being slowly destroyed though.

The planet broke before the guard!

Everything bends when you move it, usually to such a small degree that you can't perceive it. It's impossible to have a truly "rigid" material that would be required for the original post because of this. The atoms in a solid object don't all move simultaneously, otherwise swinging a bat would be causing FTL propagation itself. The movement needs to propagate through the atoms, the more rigid the object the faster this happens, but it is never instantaneous. You can picture the atoms like a lattice of pool balls connected to each other with springs. The more rigid the material, the stiffer the springs, but there will always be at least a little flex, even if you need to zoom in and slow-mo to see it.

Neesh is actually the much newer pronunciation apparently, TIL.

The way read it they were using it as an example where absurdity makes sense to poke a hole in the logic that infinity can be used as a number.

Nah, Diablo 2 style. Yes, it restores both at a lower rate than one of each, but it is also instantaneous instead of retoring 8t over time, making it way more valuable.

*Antidote, clearly. Orange Soda is thawing.

While it is true that will always result in a winning line, it's not true that it is the only way to force a win. Half of their moves will allow you to play adjacent to you starting corner towards an open corner and still force a win, as long as their first play isn't the opposite corner or any of its 3 adjacent spaces. In fact, if they start in one of the adjacent sides or non-opposite corners, you have 3 winning moves. If they start on a side, you can take either the open, non-opposite corner, the side leading to that corner, or the middle. If they start in a non-opposite corner, you can take the first two moves above, or the opposite corner.

That's not true, you can force a tie at worst from a middle start. The issue is, if you start middle, you can only force a win if they take a side, not a corner. If you start corner you can force a win as long as they don't take the middle.

Yeah, I think all of New England is down for this. Please.

Even more specifically, if we are talking a temporal teleport, then this shouldn't be a surprise. Most mainstream fiction uses teleports for time travel, pop out of one time and into another without experiencing the time between. As opposed to the device Farnsworth made in The Late Philip J. Fry, where they actually just change speed through time instead of skipping through it. In the latter case, you shouldn't have to worry about this issue at all. But with a teleport, any teleportation device is simultaneously a temporal and spatial teleport, due to causality and the nature of spacetime. So any teleport would need spacetime coordinates, not just spatial or temporal coordinates.

It has very begrudgingly forced me to kind of sort of enjoy it maybe just a little. But at the moment, trying to recall it is only giving me the Firefly theme, and that is nice, I'll just enjoy this for a bit.
