I remember when Sriracha disappeared from the market for a while (2022?). The story I heard at the time was heavily positive, talking up the handshakes and relationship angle - sug…

As the aphorism goes, there are Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.

I don’t know if there’s an xkcd for this, but there’s certainly an SMBC - https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-02-17 I don’t think I’ve ever finished Doom, and I mostly played it…

I think I just realised why no farmers trained in Artificial Insemination are opening my “Detailed” and “Visual” Artificial Intelligence tutorials…
