Are you thinking of Samus from the Serious Sam games?

I, too, require great and accurate science communication in my funny JPEGs

I suspect it's just an autocorrect typo for "beginning to work".

Mmm, pseudorandom number generators!

(You seem sincere, so at the risk of killing the joke, I want to point out that both of my comments are deadpan humor! The phrase is indeed "fancy a cuppa", and I'm intentionally getting it wrong, like the tea preparation instructions in the OP.)

You must be "having a laugh" as they say! I'm 1000% sure it's "cup of"

Also, make sure to ask "Fancy a cup of?" with extra emphasis on "of". It is a classic British phrase

If you see me reading a book in public you are absolutely invited to strike up a conversation and nerd out with me about it. I wish we had better mechanisms than body language to signal this!

Then the question still applies: in what way would a spoiler increase the count of either establishment candidate? My understanding of basic math is that it cannot.

Correct, and to claim otherwise would be absurd. Have I done that? The absolute count of votes is immaterial. Elections are decided by the proportion of votes cast for each candidate. That's what admits the spoiler effect. Thanks, FPTP.

That's certainly one opinion on the matter... coincidentally one perfectly aligned with a partisan propaganda viewpoint and, thus far, is nothing but alarmist hyperbole.

It's no coincidence. This is the means by which the establishment perpetuates itself. Doesn't mean both parties are the same.

I'm tapping out after this, but I appreciated the discussion. Have a great weekend.

Given what I know about how computers accept user input, I am fascinated to hear what the alternative is.
