I Love The Attention To Detail In This Show! It Always Irks Me When Shows Just Use Random Physics Equations

I love the attention to detail in this show! It always irks me when shows just use random physics equations for science-y scenes so this was a real delight when watching the episode

Here are all the equations that Rok-Tahk sees in front of her eyes in the #StarTrekProdigy episode "Asylum". I've tried to do some research on this (it all makes sense) but I cannot put what these depict into proper words. I'm sure, somebody else can and will enjoy this! :-) pic.twitter.com/yxvNRv0TzN

Formulae to calculate
1) kinetic energy, impulse, gravitational force, gravitational constant

2) Kepler's 3rd Law (orbital periods), orbital velocity, inelastic collisions, ellipses

3) escape velocity, acceleration, value of Gravitational constant, projectile motion

4) a collision trajectory of two objects with velocity v and mass m in an angle of Θ

— Tanja Eder (@tanja__eder) October 28, 2022

All of the equations that appear around Rok as she tries to figure out how to get to the Protostar are real equations and formulas needed to make the correct calculations.

Ah...that sudden realisation that Earthspark could, despite being cute as heck, well turn out to be the darkest Transformers cartoon yet.

JUST SOME FAN THEORIES, BUUUT...

Megatron has be shadowplayed by Ghost, but doesn't realise it. In fact he probably thinks teaming up with the Autobots was his idea, but it wasn't.

Optimus not only knew about that, but he went along with it because he was desperate to end the war. I mean, it'd clearly gotten spectacularly nasty. Bee mentions starving bots, Soundwave being in such a bad way that one of his cassettes exploded when he tried to eject it. That's pretty damn grim, but who said only the Decepticons were effected like that. How many bots died, and what did Optimus really sacrifice to win the war?

OR

Both Megatron and Optimus have been shadowplayed and neither know it. Optimus as an attempt to control the Autobots and Megatron as an attempt to bring the Decepticons to heel. The latter didn't work, so they've resorted to capturing the Decepticons instead, with the intent of shadowplaying them all. Why? Potentially as a puppet army to use in defence against other Cybertronians...or just against them in general.

Starscream knows what's really going on, but when he tries to tell everyone nobody believes him. Because it's Starscream.

Anyone else think the arachnamechs look a bit like Quints? Just me?

Okay, the spacebridge is down, but there's no way the Autobots would just leave Optimus and the others there, surely? They have space travel tech, why haven't they sent a rescue party? Same with the Decepticons.

Oh, and my last fan theory? IF ANY CARTOON IS GOING TO GIVE US THE DJD THEN IT'S THIS ONE.

Yup, all the weather is shifted - rainy season, first snows, etc. Even some of the wildlife has disappeared in my lifetime (fireflies, some songbirds)!

Something deeply painful is the fact that seasons, especially fall, dont feel the same. Not because of individual maturity but because climate change has impacted the weather patterns so so so much that we cant even experience the same annual shifts that our ancestors have for centuries

I feel displaced, i yearn for the spring, summer, fall, and winter that i can barely remember experiencing

Fire on the Mountain

In Episode 9 of the original Transformers cartoon, the Cons get crafty and build a machine that doesn’t work but kinda does, Spike meets a girl that I think never gets a name, the Seekers are all treacherous bastards, Wheeljack is a huge asshole and several people get dramatically thrown off a temple.

75 essential single-character verbs (单字动词)

image

When I started consuming more native Chinese content, I quickly discovered an area in which my knowledge was lacking: single-character verbs. In my experience, it’s very easy to focus on learning words consisting of two or more characters and overlook single-character words.

Driven by curiosity, I went through my Anki deck (and also wracked my brain) to generate a list of characters/words that I have learned over the past couple years (roughly). Then I selected 75 verbs that are fairly common and important to know. They skew towards intermediate and advanced vocabulary.

Definitions are from MDBG. For characters with additional meanings that I am not yet familiar with, I have bolded the meanings I want to share.

(1) 抢 qiǎng - to fight over / to rush / to scramble / to grab / to rob / to snatch

(3) 扶 fú - to support with the hand / to help sb up / to support oneself by holding onto something / to help

(6) 咬 yǎo - to bite / to nip

(7) 砸 zá - to smash / to pound / to fail / to muck up / to bungle

(8) 毁 huǐ - to destroy / to ruin / to defame / to slander

(9) 嚷 rǎng - to shout / to bellow / to make a big deal of sth / to make a fuss about sth

(10) 塞 sāi - to stop up / to squeeze in / to stuff / cork / stopper

(11) 贪 tān - to have a voracious desire for / to covet / greedy / corrupt

(12) 拆 chāi - to tear open / to tear down / to tear apart / to open

(13) 掏 tāo - to fish out (from pocket) / to scoop

(14) 跪 guì - to kneel

(15) 摘 zhāi - to take / to borrow / to pick (flowers, fruit etc) / to pluck / to select / to remove / to take off (glasses, hat etc)

(16) 拎 līn - to lift up / to carry in one’s hand / Taiwan pr. [ling1]

(17) 扛 káng - to carry on one’s shoulder / (fig.) to take on (a burden, duty etc)

(18) 拽 zhuài - to pull / to tug at (sth)

(19) 愣 lèng - to look distracted / to stare blankly / distracted / blank / (coll.) unexpectedly / rash / rashly
