How many mines is too many when you're maxed out in TvZ?

Also, almost every Zerg I face in diamond throws a bunch of roaches in their muta/ling/bling, and it really stifles my pushes. Anything I can do about this?

How can Zerg best counter a Thor ball + air support?
Things were so much simpler when I was a larvae.

If you destroy a pylon while units are in the midst of warping in at that pylon, are the units, their cost in resources and the warpgate cooldown associated with that warpin all lost to that player? (i.e. same result as if the warpin completed but the units all instantly died)

It has actually even already be answered there.

Production is fully cancelled, the same way you cancel unit in a building (robo, barack...) or a cocoon (excepti larva is not refund).
So the protoss has no cooldown on and full refund.

Nope
Wikipedia's warpgate mechanics article

+ Show Spoiler +
Any unit created by the Warp Gate have a warp-in time of only 5 seconds. As the warp-in starts, the Warp Gate enters a variable cooldown period. During this cooldown, the Warp Gate cannot produce any units. The length of the cooldown varies, based on the type of unit warped in, as seen in the table below. If the Psionic Matrix is destroyed during the warp-in period, the resource cost of the unit is fully refunded and the Warp Gate cooldown is reset to zero.

How do I counter 15 hatch as any race? I try to put early pressure on the expansion but they've got too many roaches out. I try to early expand myself and they roll in with upgraded Roaches and Hydras. I haven't beat it once yet!

You make it sound like 15 hatch was some super-greedy build Zergs shouldN't get away with. That's not the case; it's a regular macro opener that leads into a normal two to three-base game.

That said, some openers fare well against hatch first and are (blindly) used to get ahead or win against it. Those are mostly 9 and 10 pool with gas or gasless, cannon rush, 2 gate and 2 rax.

to add on to what velvex said, it sounds like there are some very major gaps in your understanding of timings and counters in sc2. as he said 15 hatch is a very normal opening and there is at least a solid 10 minutes before your opponent should attack you with roach/hydra so maybe focus on what's going on during that time which is almost certainly that your macro and economic play is bad.

regardless of race the way you describe your games sounds like ~silver league in which case your main focus should be having smoother builds where you get up bases and production facilities at the correct times, avoid supply blocks and keep your production moving

3 1/2 Base on minerals (16 on your first three bases for minerals, 8 on your fourth base minerals) and 8 gases. This totals to be 80 drones.
An army without drone is like a fish without a bicycle.

As a terran in a team fight, is it better to stim at the beginning and not stim again or re-stim after the first one has worn out? I know I'm supposed to re-stim to kite or stutter step but what if I'm just standing there ex. vs roach hydra army. This would be in long fights obviously.

Mathematically, stiming decrease your units life by a bit less than 20%, but increase attack speed by 50%, so you should keep your attacking units stimed at all time, and especially if you have more attacking units than the opponent (more range and/or against melee, high ground advantage, concave, etc...).

Exception can be made, for instance you don't need to stim if you are close to win a fight (without kite from either side). It can also be more harmful than helpful to stim if you have low to no medivac for you army.
