I can’t tell which, if any, of these are what “ND” is supposed to mean here.
So, uh, “ND”?

Well, not free. Acceleration usually requires a bunch of energy.
I guess if you have to do it anyway then it’s a really convenient side-effect.

I mean, gravity is just acceleration anyway.
Weird fucking acceleration due to the curvature of spacetime and how shit moves through time. But still, just acceleration.

That’s the episode where for some reason the Deception jets turn into triangles and after sleeping for 6 million years Optimus wakes and just says “thanks” and throws Teletran-1 a thumbs up and also Casey Kasem is there right

- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 weeks ago:
6-8 colder vs 3 hotter but yes they may be different
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 weeks ago:
The last glacial maximum was about 25000 years ago and was 6-8 degrees C colder than today, globally. There was massive change in global climate, populations, etc. And we survived. And that was before we had established technology beyond stone tools, had relatively very limited starting population and organization, etc etc.
For all of our faults we are very good at adapting and surviving. More that nearly any other species.
We’ll survive whatever is coming as a species. Even nuclear holocaust is unlikely to totally wipe us out.

Dude we made it through that already

There are virtually no scientists that think all life on earth will go extinct.
