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.
Cursed cat… hands? Paws? Somewhere in between?
Especially when Equifax leaked nearly half of all Americans’ names, social security numbers, addresses, birthdays, and driver license number in 2017. That info is just out there and we can never remove it.
The difference is that it’s the same “you have to make the safe choice now and you’ll get to make things better later” every single cycle. Many of us see it all as a facade that will never end, and watch the Democratic Party actively work against our interests in the meantime.
But we can’t ever dare express discontent online without vitriol from people who can’t seem to handle the fact that others might not be convinced by “I’m not a Republican” anymore.
The options are either personally fix our entire country or shut up and follow orders? This unwillingness to accept criticism of the Democratic Party is exactly why people like me feel unrepresented by it. We see a party working against our interests and a fan base frothing at the mouth anytime anyone dares speak against them.
Have you ever complained about the Republicans? If so, why don’t you stop complaining about it and personally fix the country?
Wow, all two of them? Get a higher bar. I’m not even young.
All three Democratic presidents I’ve been alive for have been pretty bad too. Turns out I’m not represented very well in our plutocracy, and it’s pretty tiring to hear the endless defense of the wealthy elite that actively work against all of us.
This seems like a fun game, but I have absolutely no clue what this one is. Seems like no one else does either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
It’s almost as if the Democrats want to accomplish nothing while claiming they’re doing everything they can.
And let’s not act like the presidential candidate has no effect on the races themselves. Biden being a milquetoast neoliberal head of the party was not what we needed to retake Congress. And it’s not going to help in 2024 either. God, Democratic apologists are the worst hypocrites.
“You have to vote for Biden or Trump will do all of these things!”
“Biden is bad on those issues too.”
“Something something it doesn’t count for him.”
And yet I’m sure you would happily throw tons of those up as a reason Trump must stay out of office. Which is it?
Are you seriously arguing that criticisms of Democrats don’t count if the Republicans hold the same position? Wanna think about that one again?
We’ve been playing that game for decades, but especially since 2016. This will be the third cycle in a row of “just this once because we need to beat Trump, then you can have a turn next time.”
Meanwhile things continue to get demonstrably worse. This is not sustainable.
Well, it is canon that the Abrahamic god kills children en masse sometimes. He does love a good genocide.
Choosing not to prop Trump up as a pied piper during the primaries would also have been a good step. And putting anyone but one of the most unelectable politicians against him would also have been a good idea.
Same here, but I hate it. My body clearly fights against me and when I take time off I naturally drift towards my preferred sleeping schedule.
I wish I had the option to adjust my work schedule, but I don’t. (Inb4 “get a new job” without any consideration for why I might not be able to do that or why that might not get me the result I want.)
Put a much more simple and meaningful way rather than subdivisions: Australia is only about 5% smaller than the contiguous US (“lower 48”).
“Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out at the promises of…”
Sure doesn’t help that the billionaires win no matter the outcome.
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.
