Oh, man, you got us!

Wait. I’m being told that the US is the largest exporter of agricultural goods in the world, exporting 20% of its agricultural production.

Do you say kilometers per litre or miles per gallon?

Edit: re-read. The UK still uses mpg, I believe

Not to mention that every single food product has metric measurements on the label as well.

I believe Canada and the UK do similarly.

Same for 5.56 and .223.

Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.

You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

Been running Wayland for 2 years and only issue I had with it was Synergy not working.

Never had an issue with Nvidia on Linux. Yes, you have to use proprietary drivers, but outside of that I’ve been running Linux with Nvidia cards for 20 years.

If you use approximately the same amount of material as in an aluminum can, you’re already at 3x the weight of an aluminum can. Stainless is also far less malleable and much more brittle than aluminum, so the minimum wall thickness is much higher for steel. Aluminum can walls are 0.11m thick, whereas the minimum wall thickness for stainless steel alloys is around 0.50mm thick. Meaning you’d need around 4.5 times as much material, making the stainless steel can weigh at least 10 times as much as the average 15 gram aluminum can. A 12-pack of soda would weigh 4.5 pounds more. Now imagine how much transporting that extra weight costs.

Stainless steel is great for reusable stuff, but it’d be impractical at the same scale as aluminum cans.

Yes, it is actually. You melt the aluminum and skim off any remaining plastic and contaminants from the top of the molten aluminum. It’s a standard, millenniums old process for any metal working.

Problem is the stainless steel you’d need to use in order to get the corrosion resistance and non-reactivity with the contents is prohibitively expensive. Cheap stainless steel alloys offer pretty poor corrosion resistance - see the CyberTruck rusting after being rained on a few times.

Easy solution: only buy drinks in aluminum cans or glass bottles. World is already drowning in microplastic pollution.

Not really a US thing, most carriers here offer unlimited data. More of a Canadian and European issue.

Most ammunition, especially ammo used at a range, are copper jacketed. There is no exposure to lead when handling most ammo.

Theater room, maybe? The receptacles on the ceiling and along the side walls could be for speakers. A Dolby Atmos setup has speakers on every wall, the floor, and the ceiling.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

Where is this at? I’ve never seen 440ml or 440ml cans in North America. Canned drinks/beers usually come in 355ml (12 US ounces), 473ml (16oz), 500ml (16.9 oz), or 19.2 US ounces (20 British ounces aka British pint). Other less common sizes are 8oz (236ml / Red Bull) and big beer formats like 24oz and 32oz (just shy of a litre).

404ml is around 13.66 US ounces or 14.2 imperial ounces. 440ml is around 14.7 US ounces or 15.5 imperial ounces.

Usually when you get a measurement that’s not a nice round number like 500 or 750 it means it was probably converted from some other measurement standard. But both measurements seem completely arbitrary for what I assume is an English speaking country.

I looked through some antique measurements but didn’t find anything useful. It seems to be more than half a chungah, but far less than a butt.
