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 m^3)^(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.

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.

Honest question: is this actually an autism thing? Or just anxiety in general?

This feels a lot like me and I've wondered for a long time if I have undiagnosed autism. Wonder if this is another item for the laundry list of things to tell a psychologist (for that diagnostic appointment I've been saying for years I should book but I have no clue how to do that so I just don't ever do it).

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.

This is what my wife and I do except we just charge from a standard external outlet. It's very slow, but more than enough for our needs.

One day nationally is the only answer.

IMO, no one comes out of this looking good. The DNC has shown that it is willing to invalidate entire states' voices when they disagree on with state politicians. That's a very bad look considering they're still suffering from all their bullshit in 2016.

On the other hand, NH doesn't get too declare in their own state law that they get to vote before anyone else. Throwing a fit because someone else gets to go first is childish.

Make primaries a single national affair and be done with it. Better yet, make the general presidential elections national too.

That would basically cover my student loan payments, so it would be equivalent to loan forgiveness for me. Improve is an understatement, that would actually allow me to save money. Right now my wife and I make slightly above area median income and we're just treading water financially. This would be a game changer. We could actually consider having a kid.
