1.5kg of liquid water (which is non compressible) has a mass of 1.5kg (and equivalent weight in newtons at STP).

Coca Cola is water plus syrup (which will be somewhat compressible and potentially less dense) plus carbon dioxide.

If you let the CO2 settle out, you will likely have around 1.3 litres of sugar water left.

> many defendants who insist on going to trial do so because they are innocent,"

I don't necessarily disagree with that. However, if a person is truly innocent, they have evidence to back that up, and fights all the way in every pre trial option available, there is good chance that it won't go to trial. The state does not like to lose, so they don't take cases to trial that they don't think they can win.

What I am saying is that innocent people rarely go on trial. They don't go on trial because if their evidence is good, it won't make it to trial. The legal work exists in the pre-trial. The main reason innocent people go to jail is because they can't afford good legal representation. They can't afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to mount a legal defense. Since they can't afford it, they typically plead out early.

But, sticking to OPs question, juries are rarely hung because of the state is willing to go to trial, they have a dynamite case (most of the time). The state might be wrong, but they appear be right, and so the decision is rather easy for the jury.

1.5L of pure water has a mass of 1.5kg. But soda has carbonic acid, sugar or sweeteners, other flavorings, and so on mixed in. Those additives could increase or decrease the density of the liquid.

1.5L of milk would weigh about 1.55kg. 1.5L of unflavored soda water would weigh about 1.48kg.

It's a way to easily compare vehicle efficiency. Personally, I used $/mi to compare my leaf's operational costs and the ice vehicle it replaced. I think Nissan's marketing called it eMiles at the time.

Thanks for you answer!

The exact composition of the liquid will make a difference, but since softdrinks are mostly water I would imagine that it would be very close to 1.5 kg. The difference might be so slight that your scale can not go to that granular a level. The mass of the bottle will make a difference, as will the slight difference in fill level.

That makes things much clearer, thank you. Would you be able to point me in a reference of algebra ( let’s start from the basics! ) to start understanding this also?

It probably is using the term in context of Bayesian statistics, where it is a measure of how likely you estimate changes of something happening (the probability distribution), before you have any evidence on the phenomenon.

Politics is such a polarizing and popular topic in the US now, it’s a lot of what you hear about.

Generally though, there is a ton of criticism of CEOs, especially those in charge of large companies. How workers are mistreated, how they don’t pay a fair share of taxes, how they could “solve” hunger with just a portion of their companies revenue.

I’m not expressing any position on any of those points, but I do see a ton of it. I don’t think generally Americans really “trust” CEOs.

Since it’s a country with a lot of entrepreneurial spirit, American dream, etc. you might see more support for CEOs here than other places.

Do they make his dick get hard to nut the sperm out? Or do they inject with something to produce more sperm so that it gets to get in a cup?

Slightly wrong way to think about it they don't trust CEOs more they trust government officers less. Politicians in America are regarded as greedy selfish bribe taking individuals who care nothing for the public.

Have you learned anything about the majority of modern politicians?

I don't know about the survey you are referencing, but I don't know anyone that trusts CEOs more than gov officials. Most that I know don't really trust either, but do tend to be more respecting of government institutions.

Personally, I'm not trusting of either anymore. Too many bad decisions and willingness to cater to political expedience. Or corrupt actions that aren't even really trying to hide the shiftiness anymore.

People think conspiracy theories and government. Plus lots of government bureaucrat that costs people time and money. But they see CEOs as delivering the goods??

You'll see this at more than just gas stations, it's not uncommon for smaller convenience stores having a "minimum purchase amount" required to use credit cards.

The reason for this is the way that credit card and debit card companies make money. For every transaction there is usually a fee of a couple of percentage points of the purchase. So if you go in and buy a soda for a dollar where the store may only be making $0.05 profit, and Visa charges a 3% fee, then the store owner just lost 60% of their profit on the purchase.

Larger companies and chains have the leverage of massive buying power to negotiate these fees down, or even get them waived entirely. So Walmart for example, is paying almost nothing if anything at all for credit card processing, and thus won't have those kind of limits.

CEOs can't put people in prison, and generally show some sense of accountability: only to their shareholders, perhaps, but that's better than most politicians. Less corrupting power, more accountability to kwep them relatively honest; why wouldn't they be seen as more trustworthy? They have more checks against their power.

If they are talking about "evidence", usually it's in regards to a prior conviction or a prior charge that a person faced. Like, "the judge went easy on the sentencing because the defendant had no priors" - they had a clean criminal record.
