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

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.

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?
