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.

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

Sure doesn't help that the billionaires win no matter the outcome.

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.

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.

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.

So you think it's totally fine that people just doing their fully legal job in the state they live and work in should be subjected to arrest warrants that prevent them from ever safely entering a completely different state?

"Sorry boss, I can't go to that conference. It's hosted in Texas and I'll be arrested as I exit the plane."

The problem with saying "both" is that there are 5 groups involved, maybe even 6.

  1. The Israeli government
  2. The Israeli people
  3. The West Bank Palestinian government (Fatah)
  4. The Gaza Strip Palestinian government (Hamas)
  5. The Palestinian people (arguably separate groups to account for differing levels of suffering and oppression)

I'd agree that "both" are bad if you mean the Israeli government and Hamas, though to different degrees at different times. I'd agree "both" are victims if you mean the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, though undoubtedly the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are the most victimized right now and in general.

I was born in 1993 and I did that with my neighborhood friends too.

You forgot to summon them: tankie, tankie, tankie

There, that should get them to chime in.

Did you sue? I'd have been livid enough to try to sue. IANAL, but at a minimum I would hope that would be trespassing.

Yeah, I'm very confused by this. Why do the users notifying IT have to do the training?

I've worked a help desk before, while after dozens of people sending it in we don't really need it forwarded anymore, people don't know that until we get the I'd still rather people forward it than click it. Ignore and delete is best since I guarantee someone will forward it to IT, but forwarding (even forwarding and asking) is never bad and demonstrates good awareness.
