if it vibrates intentionally, it is, in fact, a "vibrator"

work in the right factory, and you may get to experience "erectors" too!

same size top/bottom for both; only difference is that the standard has a wider body bevel, and the sleek can goes nearly straight down. same lid on both cans, as well. not sure what it does for the scaled material cost, but since the lid is by far the most expensive part, it's probably negligible, compared to the ability to inflate the price on a taller can.

I can't fully explain the trend, but ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages are a big hit for the industry, and even moreso when presented in the truly/high noon shape. maybe it's a generational thing? I don't get it, but I'm also not the target demographic.

bonus fact: the conversion costs of filling sleek cans is pretty steep for most independent brewers, so craft beer will take a couple years to adapt, if ever.

and both of those cans use the same size lid

I'd settle for going back a couple decades to entirely tactile controls and no touch screens in cars

it leads down a pretty dark rabbit whole of general Federalist Society plans for an overtly conservative autocratic regime, and it's terrifyingly plausible if they consolidate enough power and funding. and that's all pretty easy with the support of foreign oligarchs that need the US to be fully involved in its own libertarian implosion, so it can turn a blind eye to international war crimes.

i long for the times when conspiracy theories used to be fun spooky stories about cryptids wandering the wilds, and aliens doing creepy stuff in cornfields to mess with farmers

maintenance life

"the machine doesn't work!"

"what's the alarm code say?"

"it's just not working!"

"what is it supposed to be doing and why did it stop?"

"I didn't do anything, it just stopped!"

and then when it gets too hot down there, all of the snowbirds migrate out and start an insane summer spread for the rest of the continent
