A little bit of cream, still pretty dark and not too sweet.

Sweet creamers can be good, but straight up sugar in coffee has always tasted weird to me.

Depends on the type of company and type of refund I suppose, but sounds like it's probably a case of having to go through some process of getting approvals with documentation being passed around and then ultimately getting processed by some random employee who has a ton of other work to do, too.

It was a moose. A deer wouldn't be an issue, easily scared off by a pack of dogs. An angry moose could have killed them all.

Apparently 3 dogs died in the race this year, first deaths in five years.

Running all day doesn't mean they want to run while pulling a shit ton of weight.

So being a work slave is in their DNA is your argument. If only capitalists could tap into this power. Like I don't know how you think they could actually be bred with the literal desire to be sled dogs. Bred for the ability to do it well? Sure. Bred to be overly loyal to a species that domesticated them and so are noticeably subservient? Sure. Bred for a specific occupation? Nah.

Like I said, physically I don't disagree, but to say it's literally in their DNA that they want to pull over-weighted sleds is silly.

And I have trouble accepting that them being bred to be slaves means they actually want to. Like I said, training and obligation.
Have you ever actually spent time around "working breed" dogs? Seen how they act when they get the opportunities to burn off a ton of energy vs when they don't?

Do they have evidence that dogs don't enjoy racing in the Iditarod?
Doubtful. Injuries happen, of course, and deaths aren't unheard of, but generally the dogs are well-cared for and they do a lot to ensure dogs are healthy at the start and monitored for injuries and other issues by veterinarians at checkpoints along the race, and they penalize/suspend mushers if there are signs of abuse.

And while the extreme conditions of the actual race are a different story (though the breeds are well-equipped to handle the cold and long distances), from personal experience being around teams of dogs during Iditarod training, they seem to fuckin' LOVE the running and pulling.

I joined that cats subreddit to get to see cats randomly on my Reddit home page. Every single time though, I see the cat and am like "aw cute cat" then I read the text and it is always something like "this is my cat and it is FUCKING dead." Pretty depressing subreddit that all the top posts are just people posting their dead or injured pets.

Skyrim is not a typical single player game?

and btw I answered that already with Baldur Gate 3 and Elden Ring
To quote my earlier follow-up to you:

"And Skyrim is one of the most successful games of all-time ... I'm curious about "typical" - what sort of drop-off your average single-player game (even limiting to "AAA" or whatever) sees at this point."

It very very obviously wouldn't have near Skyrim's numbers, and you need more than a couple examples to determine an "average". It was general curiosity if something like player count trends for single player games on average was tracked somewhere - I wasn't even asking you specifically to have those numbers available off-hand, but you kept replying in ways that seemed you didn't fully understand what I was asking.

His (and my) question was not "How do these numbers compare to Skyrim?" It was, "How do these numbers compare to typical single player games?" So, no, the article did not answer that. And yes, his initial post did acknowledge Skyrim (and how he didn't expect that sort of success for Starfield). I see why the accusations of bad-faith posting came up, lol.

well the article compared it to Skyrim and said Skyrim has more players so.....
And Skyrim is one of the most successful games of all-time and a ton of that longevity can be attributed to the mod community (which IIRC hasn't really gotten going in Starfield yet because they haven't made the kits or whatever available). I'm curious about "typical" - what sort of drop-off your average single-player game (even limiting to "AAA" or whatever) sees at this point.

Not trying to defend anything (I see you're accusing that other poster of not actually wondering this? lol) - I thought the game was a bit bland and disappointing, and it's clearly not going to have anything remotely like Skyrim's staying power - I just don't find this info to be all that meaningful without more context.

Like, it makes more sense for the conspiracy to be that the disease was released by the government for population control, and the "easily controlled sheep" take the vaccine and get to keep being useful pawns while the rebels are killed off/health compromised.
