The acceleration is going to fairly instantaneous, somewhat similar to hitting the ground after falling off a roof. It can rearrange your innards.
I'm sure it will be fun to experience, but I hope it takes awhile for the thing to be released into the wild.
The average male human who would attempt such an adventure at a traffic light probably lacks the common sense to safely assure that he follows a protocol that might insure a minimal level of injury and death for people around him.
I can imagine that the NTSB, along with their fellow regulators in most semi-civilized countries will be leaping to place some regulation on that little beastie before the bloodbath begins.

While generally considered safe, there are enough cases of psychedelics causing mania and psychosis that more research is being done and it appears those with genetic vulnerabilities to schizophrenia or bipolar I disorders are most at risk.
Yes, but it's also important to be clear that evolution is a fact, while Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is a theory that in general terms is universally accepted (except by crackpots), but in fine detail is still open to ongoing debate and discovery and improvement.
Abusers of the power of information love to misrepresent this.
We have found another example of primary endosymbiosis which is mostly what the article talks about, but the bigger news to me is that we found a eukaryote that fixes nitrogen on it’s own.
Currently we use petroleum products to get enough nitrogen in our fertilizer.
In the future, we can grow an algae that makes its own.
Also the nitro plants look like dodecahedrons apparently
Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally.
Quote:
The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS [flight data subsystem] memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.
So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS.
Devs sometimes talk about being "close to the metal" but there is no other software engineering team in the world right now that are simultaneously working as close to and as far away from the metal as the people keeping Voyager working.
My thoughts and prayers go out to #voyager1, which after journeying for half a century to reach interstellar space is still expected to answer fucking work emails
