This is fixed now.

When that one breaks there’s a good chance you can replace just the broken part.

I’d say that the one that’s written is the ‘true’ timeline in the story the same way that the reality we experience is the only one that matters.

What would happen is entirely your responsibility as the author of the scenario.

Some options may be more “realistic” than others, but since the existence of a working time machine is already beyond what seems to be feasible physics (requiring ridiculous amounts and density of negative energy for example, where not even any has been shown to be possible to make) the scenario becomes soft sci-fi, or in other words magic, and that means it’s up to the writer to make up the rules.

Here is a post I found with many of the options you can choose from.

Even knowing that everything happens every way in some other branch of the wave function (other universes) doesn’t really affect our own little section of it. There’s no communications or travel, so other universes if they exist have the same meaning to us as if they don’t. Except in time travel stories like this.

Besides, the same “irrelevance” of decisions and events comes free with even one single universe given that it’s deterministic - as physics seems to be. (Yeah there’s quantum randomness, but random doesn’t help either)

That said I still believe in free will and the importance of decisions. I just think it has to be defined so weakly that it still works in a deterministic universe. (So I have free will, but so do dice and pocket calculators.)

The only area I know well is the NW corner of the USA, but there is indeed public transit. I can’t say how it compares to even other parts of the US, let alone other countries, but I can say that in the urban and suburban areas it’s generally possible to walk or bike to a bus stop and with some transfers, get within a walkable or bicycle-able distance of where you are going. Some rural areas have a system called “dial-a-ride” which are basically on-demand small buses if I understand correctly. Similar systems exist for people with disabilities in the urban areas also.

Besides buses there are also ferries, and local train systems (light rail) which connect neighborhoods and cities in the same major metropolitan area. Trains between major metros (such as between states) also exist, but typically it’s just not worth it: If you aren’t going to just drive it by car, then flying is both faster and cheaper than the train, and flying isn’t cheap.

There are also commuter trains between the downtowns of major (nearby) cities separate from the light rail, but I’ve never actually tried that myself.

Yes, better batteries that don’t spontaneously combust, and last for far more charge cycles

I don’t expect it so quickly, but hopefully lithium ion batteries (and variants like Li-poly, LiFePO4, etc)

Were those other urban areas specifically parking lots/garages? (The places that charging stations tend to be)

Messaging used to be free on OKC too. Paid stuff was only better search placement, maybe seeing your matches immediately, etc. No idea about now, I was also found by my wife there over a decade ago.

Ethanol is poisonous and carcinogenic and extremely popular. Burned nicotine also of course.

And control the ‘embedded mode’ (forgot the real name, something like “Custom tabs”) for browsers - usually I want to open a page in the full separate browser so it’s independent of the app it came from.

I love that the examples are not only from other real RFCs, but some of them are well known protocols.

This is true. I had to force myself to develop a tolerance to plain water, but of course I’m really glad I did.

I still can’t stand unsweetened flavored water (including tea*), or especially unsweetened and carbonated. Those are all very bitter to me, and therefore undrinkable - particularly given plain water exists.

*But I do like some tea in my sugar.

That does work (actually ‘non emergency city state’). But as another comment mentions, the public knowing it exists is more important than the number itself.

So they are asking a virtual roulette wheel to make the determination if it’s an emergency or not.

I think the non-emergency number should be heavily advertised. I have no idea what the local one for me is (if it even exists)

And an LLM determining that accurately would be a dice roll.

Looks like a brand name
