It would be nice if they could at least acknowledge the broken (removed?) PS4 to PS5 save transfer function. I was interested in some of the recent updates but found out those same updates had removed the feature I needed to continue my old save. So I just didn’t play instead.

You had it right the first time, 1 tonne (1000 kg) of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure would have a volume equivalent to that cube.

At standard temperature and pressure (STP) it looks like CO2 has a density of 1.96 kg/m^3. 1 tonne = 1000 kg, so a tonne of CO2 has a volume of (1000 kg)/(1.96 kg/m^3) = 510 m^3 at STP. A cube of that volume would have side length (510 m³⁾(1/3) = 7.99 m, so roughly 8 meters per side.

I don’t know how tall that person is, but if we assume around 1.6 m (5’ 3") then the cube side length should be about 5 of her. Seems pretty accurate to me.

Genera are within families, not the other way around. Maybe read a book?

Also: the genus Panthera consists of 5 big cats. The other two big cats that aren’t in Panthera are the cougar, which is also colloquially called a panther, and the cheetah.

So, in fact, “panther” can refer to any big cat other than cheetahs.

Planck scale units aren’t known or typically assumed to be minimum units. They’re just the units that come out of combining some fundamental constants and are thought to represent a scale where the effects of quantum gravity have too much effect to be ignored. They just represent a theoretical limit to the validity of our current models.

Human knowledge will continue to push these boundaries as long as humans still exist, but it’s arrogant to think our current human limitation is a universal limitation.

You can call it whatever you want, as long as it equals 1/2 it’s the same number.

So yes, multiplying by 2/2 to make it more intuitively obvious is perfectly valid and a good way to think about it. Most arithmetic tricks are ultimately multiplying by 1 or adding 0 just to make the problem easier to handle.

Seriously, why is basic arithmetic worthy of so much discussion?

Just… do the math. It’s not complicated math.

Well, it is canon that the Abrahamic god kills children en masse sometimes. He does love a good genocide.

“Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out at the promises of…”

Lol, are you seriously still peddling the “if you don’t vote for Hillary you’re sexist” bullshit? It was pathetically transparent back in 2016, it’s downright delusional now.

Couldn’t have anything to do with her being an unapologetic war hawk. Or a Clinton (the last one helped set up our economy to crash in 2008). Or a weak candidate with weak positions pandering to the middle even during the primary instead of pushing left. Or an entitled narcissist who colluded with the DNC leadership to put their thumb on the scale. Or a petulant child who was too busy smearing her primary opponent even after the general was over to take responsibility for the fact that she and her campaign directly gave us Trump by propping him up as a pied piper.

It’s not as stark of a difference, but in western Washington we’ve also had a noticeably warm winter. Really just feels like a continuation of fall. Almost the entire winter we’ve been around 40-50 °F, only had one cold snap that even got down to freezing, into the 20s for 4 days or so.

If this is real and in the US, I would love to see a Gen Xer or elder Millennial apply, make sure to mention their generation, and then get this dumbass owner to say in writing that they aren’t hiring them because they aren’t a Boomer.

IANAL, but that seems like a slam dunk age discrimination case as long as the applicant is at least 40.

I’m becoming increasingly interested in doing this as well. What all needs to be put in place for it to happen?

*Gasp* I told you that in confidence!

New full name: Theophrastus Bombastus

There’s no way around that unless we start spelling things a lot more differently around the English-speaking world. We have enough trouble with the relatively minor spelling differences between UK and US English as it is, increasing that confusion is far worse than having spelling decoupled from pronunciation.

Not even “vote Democrat,” she just urged people to vote period. And linked to Vote.org encouraging people to research what would be on their ballot. The fact that the right takes this as an attack on them isn’t surprising to anyone.

Officially they’re on hiatus. They originally said they were retiring the line, but then changed their tune and stated that the Bolt line will return after they can implement their new EV battery tech in them. I believe the statements have been imprecise about when that will be, but potentially sometime in 2025 (meaning the 2026 model). That’s assuming no delays or changes to the plan.

If you want a new Bolt without waiting for the revived line, I’d think about acting soon. They’re moving really quickly in my area. I’m really happy with the EUV so far, but I’m still only at like 250 miles. I didn’t go for the Premier since I don’t care about adaptive cruise control or their “Super Cruise” self driving thing.

I’m stuck in an infinite loop of combining water, fire, wind, and earth with everything. I haven’t even done any combos that don’t involve one of those except by accident.

Send help.

I’m about 3 weeks into my Bolt EUV ownership. Literally never considered any of their other EVs based on price alone. Really happy with my Bolt EUV so far, and really glad I snagged one before they stopped making them. For all their talk of limited demand, there was a lot of competition in my area to get one.
