This looks promising.
They are already much farther than I thought!

I love the visuals and the prospect of one day walking through my beloved Vvardenfell like that is totally exciting!

How me not cluttering my search history with stuff I don't want to see in there, is supposed help protect the community, the learn-more-link didn't explain, though.

Hat echt peinlich lange gedauert, bis ich gemerkt habe, dass das Bild auf der Zeitschriften-Ablage nicht die aktuelle Ausgabe ist...

Edit:
Just realized the correct name for the tree is actually maple.

False friend caused mistake because its name is "Ahorn" in German.
Keeping the heading as it is, because it is funny, although it might trigger the Canadians (sorry, dudes!).

Found a new purpose for the unused left-over parts of a magnetic letter game my daughter got.

I am deeply embarrassed by my government's reactions to the war of aggression in the Middle East.

For quite a while I thought "root beer" to be a fictitious beverage, like Romulan Ale or Bloodwine.

Until I stumbled upon some comments by Americans mentioning it to be a real thing!

Only problem was that it is basically unknown and very hard to find here in Germany.
After unsuccessfully trying two special US stores as well as a couple of Asia markets (after someone mentioned that it is also a thing in some Asian countries) I basically gave up.

So imagine my excitement when accidentally coming upon this can in my local Edeka market (a type of German higher end grocery store)!

Now I and my kids are ready to try it, but this should naturally be with the right background.

So: Which Star Trek episode that references it should we watch while tasting it?
We are currently watching TNG, so this would be preferred (if it even appears in there?).
I would even be ok with a Wesley centered episode.. ;-)

Update:

First, thanks to you all for the suggestions! In the end we went with DS9's "Little green men", as other episodes would have required too much contextual knowledge (and are also much darker).

Individually perceived tastes of the Root beer varied somewhere between toothpaste and decomposed rubber.

Final verdict has been mixed:
My daughter completely hates it, my wife is not especially fond of it, I kinda like it and my son now has a new favorite soft drink :-)

Als gerade der SPD-Stadtrats-Spitzenkandidat hier mit Flüstertüte und Live-Akkordeonspieler durch die Nachbarschaft gezogen ist, poppte bei mir ein ewig verschütteter Erinnerungsschnipsel aus meiner frühen Kindheit auf dem Dorf in 70ern und 80ern wieder auf:

Damals, in der Prä-Internet-Ära (und für einige bei uns sogar noch Prä-Privattelefon-Ära), fuhr regelmäßig ein Fahrzeug (ich glaube es gehörte zur freiwilligen Feuerwehr) mit minimalster Schrittgeschwindigkeit durch alle Straßen des Orts, um über die auf dem Dach montierten fetten Lautsprecher wichtige kurzfristige Infos für die Gemeinschaft vom Band abzuspielen.

Ich weiß noch, wie alle dann alles stehen und liegen gelassen haben, um raus zu rennen und uns Kinder ruhig zu psst-en, um nichts von den wichtigen Infos zu überhören.

Erinnert sich ausser mir noch jemand da dran?
Oder an ähnliche ausgestorbene Sachen, um die Leute prädigital mit Informationen zu versorgen?

Ich fand den Erinnerungs-Flash gerade spannend, auch vor dem Hintergrund einer gerade gestern gelesenen Meldung, dass sich 90% der Leute das Leben ohne Smartphone nicht mehr vorstellen können.

Dinge wie die vergessenen Lautsprecherwagen gehören da sicher dazu, zusammen mit anderen Strategien um in einer rein analogen Welt ohne omnipräsente vernetzte Taschencomputer zurecht zu kommen.

No, it also isn't given in the article what the size of the chip now actually is...

Also, has not enough carriages, so journey will probably be cramped...
