The irony is that beef and cattle feed use vastly more water than oat milk production. Oat milk would help reduce water use if its used as a substitute for dairy.

By that logic, 'Basque', 'Cantonese', 'Cajun', and 'Tex-Mex' shouldn't exist either

> why have mechanical keyboards become so damn popular and not "keyboards on screens?"

I mean... have you ever used a phone?

This reads a bit like like a pre-PC take: "Why use a computer when a cookbook works fine?"

Imagine it’s 1992:

Cookbook: Open book, follow steps.

PC: Turn on tower, wait for DOS, fiddle with floppies, pray the printer works, hope the shareware recipe isn’t weird.

Not saying you're wrong but its easy to miss the big picture

Sometimes you don't quite know how to implement something, without thinking about it for a while. All of us would a lot of the time search StackOverflow for the solution to a simple problem, e.g.

"recursively list all the files in a directory C#"

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929276/how-to-recursivel...

I imagine an AI copilot could streamline this, instead of searching, reading and verifying, copy pasting, and changing the variable names to my needs, I could now just type the method name, arguments, and documentation and it would similarly fill out the code for me. Then I have to check it (as I normally would).
