What’s up with 19.2 fl oz beer cans? I mean, I like the size, but it’s not an even amount of anything. It equates to 567.81 ml.
Yes, I know American units are wonky, but sometimes they’re weird because they actually equal to an even metric number. For example, they sell 16.9 fl oz water bottles because that’s a half liter.
So, what gives on the 19.2 fl oz / 567.81 ml measurement for these tall cans?

"This craft answer to the single-serve is an imperial pint, 20 British ounces—that’s where the 0.2 comes from. It’s the same diameter as a 16-ounce can, which comes in handy for canning-line flexibility.
[...] Volek, “19.2-ounce cans are the largest size that will take a standard can end. They maximize liquid volume without the need to make major modifications to the package lines.” " https://allaboutbeer.com/19-2-ounce-beers-are-on-the-rise-the-skinny-on-the-taller-cans/
Name a film you've seen that left you with the thought, "This is art." If you want to explain why it made you feel that way, that would be pretty cool of you.

Lost by that much (holds up thumb and index finger with tiny gap). It shows you how exciting and dynamic Mineral Cup can be. Good job everyone! #MinCup23
As Twitter self-immolates, I am seeing people I know setting up on Bluesky.
I find this perplexing. Can people really not learn the lesson that a social network owned by a capitalist is a social network they don't control?
You can argue about whether Bluesky or Mastodon has the better technology, but what's 100% clear is that Mastodon is run BY users FOR users. And that difference is the only one that matters in the end.
If the #science community truly wants to make our work more accessible to policymakers & the public + increase support for & trust in our research, we shouldn't publish our work behind ridiculously expensive paywalls that very few people can access.
