I was going to suggest some other flavours to try while you're at it, but honestly they're all pretty good.

I haven't seen them sell root beer here in Australia, but the sarsaparilla isn't hard to find. I wonder if they just modified that.

I actually work on generating and evaluating this data.

The more I see, the less I fear real coding jobs going away. The amount of work required to get good quality training data that can keep up with evolving technology is enormous.

That's reassuring. I have avoided Discord mostly, because it's obviously a poor format for sharing information, but I had to dive in recently for help with a niche hobby. Every other source just directed people to the Discord.

Every time I thought I found an answer, it was in a thread of people disagreeing over every bit of advice, interwoven with parallel disagreements over unrelated advice.

What's the appeal? Does Discord just create the illusion of usefulness by overwhelmingly users with low quality... ah yes, the ChatGPT comparison is fitting.

Clearly π was equal to 3 in old testament times, but geometry got all screwy when Jesus died for our sines.

Believe it or not, there is precedent for this.

This has to be a muskspawn.

I imagine it to be a terrible plan that you force through even though it's obviously going to shit but you're too committed to stop now.

Like the concept of sunk cost, but more willful, stubborn, and incompetent.

Agreed, and I never see anyone claim Nausicaa as their favourite. If the studio ever revisits earlier material, I hope they do a fuller adaptation of the source. It's such a rich world, it deserves more time spent within it.

I have high hopes for Light No Fire.

Right now I find Cyberpunk 2077 surprisingly pleasant to wander around in. Sure it's dangerous, but when you're so chromed to the gills you can shake off a high speed collision there isn't much threat.
