It's an analogy, the specific case doesn't matter. It demonstrates that infinite does not mean literally everything, it's possible for some item to be missing from any particular infinite set. In a box of infinite apples you won't have an orange; in a box of infinite fruit you won't have a chicken; in an infinite multiverse you by definition won't have a universe which isn't part of that multiverse.

Doesn't he? After essentially destroying the cure he freezes himself so he can survive.
Joining a community centered solely around content you want to avoid seems counter-productive.
A server is just some computer somewhere that other machines can connect to. You can get specialised hardware and network setups and other technical stuff, but you can also just use your personal laptop as a server by allowing people to connect to it. A server essentially boils down to someone leaving their computer on.
Wifi is just radio waves. You can think of it like people talking on a two-way radio, except instead of humans speaking it's computers.
If a person cared only about money and regularly injured or killed people to get it, would you say they are good, evil, or just "indifferent"?
If you're in the US you'll probably know them as rutabagas, it's the standard turnip around here and a bit bigger than a white turnip. You carve them out just as you would a pumpkin, a bit more difficult but the end result is much better imo.
Scotland here, we do have a bit of an Americanised Halloween but there's definitely elements of traditional Samhain celebrations.
Turnip lanterns > pumpkin lanterns.
That's an interesting question and not something I think I can fully answer, but it seems likely.
AD did come first when the year numbering system was first created in 525 CE since the system was based on an estimate of the birth or conception (unclear which, there's some debate) of Jesus Christ; hence the name "anno domini" ("in the year of the lord"). I'm not sure when BC was first used since that's English rather than the original Latin.
CE (originally meaning "Christian Era") wasn't popularised until ten or so centuries later. It's more popular now in part due to the fact Common Era is less overtly Christian-centric.
Interestingly, ISO 8601 (objectively the best and most correct way to write dates, fight me) doesn't use AD or CE, the standard just counts normally. So you'd go from year +0001 (1 CE) to +0000 (1 BC) to -0001 (2 BC). I guess that means I'll have to change my original answer; there is indeed a year 0 in the Gregorian calendar depending on the way you represent years.
There's no year 0, it starts at year 1 CE (Common Era, you may also see this written as "AD 1", Anno Domini 1). The concept of zero is relatively recent, it didn't exist in its current form when this year numbering system was established.
If you go back one year from there you hit 1 BCE (Before Common Era, also written 1 BC, Before Christ) and start counting up one for each year you go back.
So, 2022 years ago is 1 CE; 2023 years ago is 1 BCE; and 2024 years ago is 2 BCE.

Most of the time, but only as long as the shuffle is actually random. A perfect riffle shuffle on a brand new deck will get you the same result every time, and 8 perfect riffles on a row get you back to where you started.
