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.

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.

Cursed cat... hands? Paws? Somewhere in between?

+1 for moka pots, that's what I make my usual morning coffee in. It's really consistent. Though I don't do the cold water thing, I let it boil through and remove from heat for a few seconds when the gurgling has slowed before pouring. I don't really struggle with grinding my own coffee,

It's up to personal preference. The cold water will stop the boiling early, leaving you with just the stronger stuff that comes out first, so more like espresso. Letting it boil through will have weaker coffee coming out towards the end and the final product is a little more like an americano. Supposedly that's where the bitterness comes from too, so maybe I just don't mind the bitterness.

If you want to get fun with a moka pot, and especially if you like sugar but no cream, a Cuban espresso is really good. Essentially you wait for it to just start boiling over and pour out whatever comes out in the first couple seconds. You want the thick, strong stuff. Then return the moka pot to heat for the rest of it to boil and whip sugar with a spoon into the strong coffee you separated. You'll get a sugar coffee foam that smells like coffee ice cream, then pour the rest of the moka pot over it. Yum.

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.

Have you been on the Internet in the last 8 years? It's been the same thing since 2016, without stopping. Online Democrats can't ever let anyone criticize the party, or take any blame for their own past failures. Especially the one that gave us Trump in the first place.

For the after the election smirk, I'd refer you back to the comment you first responded to. Not to mention, Democrats were similarly arrogant and entitled in 2016. The Democrats treat this like a race to the bottom and run the most centrist candidates they think they can get away with. And if they ever lose, they just scream at the left for not supporting them enough.

I get where you're coming from, but I disagree vehemently. Your comment invokes the same logic that has always been used to suppress the voice of the left. The US is never not in election mode, and people like you will, with all good intentions, always claim it's "not the right time."

I find it rather absurd to say that during an election is an inappropriate time to criticize a politician. If a politician is so weak and uninspiring that mere criticism of them from the electorate could cost them the election, they're a bad candidate and shouldn't be running. That sort of political ego is what got us Trump in the first place.
