Ah. Okay, grumpy physicist who objects to the term “God Particle” signing off. 🙃

Interesting. I haven’t heard of that breed before and I’m having trouble finding anything by searching - could you toss me a link or something?
Yeah… am I missing something here? I don’t get the joke.
I’m also very disappointed in the so-called accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration, but I firmly believe the DNC’s complete unwillingness to run a primary without thumbing the scale is the main reason for how awful the last 12 years have been. If they could just run a normal goddamn primary without the bullshit we may be able to unify behind the nominee a little easier.
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.
Hi, Negative Nancy here: what exactly should I take this to be other than either A) useless drivel or B) propaganda?
Because presidents are demonstrably not like us. They only come from the rich and they are fully above the law. They can decide, based on nothing but their own ego, that they need to run the country and anyone that stands in their way gets to be demonized by an extremely well-funded political party.
They can spend their entire career making student loan debt an unshakeable yolk for an entire generation and then pretend like they’re doing something about it by following through on existing law and failing to do anything substantial.
In fact I strive to do as little as possible. I only work to pay the bills. If I could luck upon a comfortable enough nest egg I would quit working immediately and just play games the rest of my life (video & board, solo and with friends/family).
Hell, I may end up contributing more to society that way since I enjoy dabbling in video game design but don’t have enough time to actually work towards anything I could release. If I had time, maybe I’d actually create something for a wider audience rather than whatever minor contribution I have at work.
Now that’s gonna be stuck in my head the rest of the day, lol.
Roxanne - The Police?
Too many versions! Afterwards I thought the Four Seasons one was maybe where the image gen got the season thing from.
Or the cover by The Four Seasons more likely
Where Have All the Flowers Gone by Peter, Paul, and Mary
Cas Anvar, one of the main cast. Between the filming and release of the 5th season a massive wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations came out about him. He was dropped from the show for the final season in response to an investigation of the claims.
Going through The Expanse again. Such a good show that unfortunately got soured towards the end by a bad egg in the cast. But I’m enjoying it regardless, the work everyone else put into that show deserves praise. They found such a good balance point on the hard vs. soft sci-fi spectrum. Just enough realism and scientific accuracy to make the setting feel authentic without getting in the way of the story.
And Dominique Tipper as Naomi effortlessly code switching as she interacts with Inners and Belters is astounding. Not just her, all the Belter actors do such a great job with their dialects, but because of her screen time and back story it’s a lot more varied for her.
And if anyone hasn’t watched Community through at least 5 times, they’re streets behind.
I love both, but I actually prefer Atlantis’s ongoing series arc over the more episodic/season arc structure of SG-1.
Possibly unpopular opinion (?): Universe was a fantastic show that got cancelled right as it was getting really good. Stargate’s answer to Voyager and Battlestar Galactica. Really wish we could have gotten more of it. With the way they left things, it’s not too late to revive it if they can get actors on board. They can easily explain cast aging or not returning with the final cliffhanger.
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.
You’ve led me astray! Haha, no worries. I probably should have figured that but I try not to assume that new information is false just because I haven’t heard it before. The post as a whole primed me to think there was some missing piece of info I hadn’t heard before.
