The collective confusion and mental gymnastics to twist it when Republicans heard about the Hunter Biden conviction cost the US billions in lost productivity.

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.

A storied history of systemic racism and violence. A lack of adequate training. A lack of accountability. A complete lack of repercussions that actually affect them - tax payers footing the bill for settlements instead of cop pension funds. A mob-like culture that protects abusive cops and uses fear to keep the rest in line.

Should I go on?

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.
