This is my consistent strategy - labor above liberals, but anyone further left or independent goes above them both. Below liberals is reserved for the out-and-out bigots, like one nation and clive palmer.
I use librecalc - I would've used excell in a previous life, but most spreadsheets will do - and what I like about it is that I can keep a running tally of the entire calculation chain as I go. And once you learn to use the tool, it can do much, much more powerful things.
Viewed from above the north pole, the planet's rotation, orbit and the ISS's orbit are all moving in a counterclockwise direction. The ISS's orbit is inclined ~51° from the Earth's rotation, and the Earth's rotation is tilted ~23° from its orbital plane.
I think that means that Earth & the ISS never have their orbits perfectly aligned, but for our purposes that doesn't matter. All we need is for one moment in time, for the ISS's vector to line up with the Earth's, and we should get very close to that at two times of the year, where the ISS's ~northernmost or southernmost parts of its orbit fall on the farthest point of its orbit away from the Sun. This should be true regardless of Earth's tilt at that moment.~
( edit: on reflection, not quite true, you need the ISS's highest or lowest point relative to the plane of Earth's orbit, but it will still happen twice per year )
At those moments, the ISS is travelling with the direction of the planet, very close to parallel, and its speed relative to the Sun should approach ~134,600 km/h, unless you did the math wrong, I didn't check that.
In this same orbit the ISS should also reach its slowest point, as the opposite side of its orbit should be aligned against Earth's orbit.
But also, in the premise of this idea is the admission that the bicycle is "stationary", because its speed in relation to its immediate environment is what matters, and we all know it.
If anyone thought Trump's party was the party of "the little guys" at any point in time now or before the inauguration, they shouldn't be trusted with a pair of blunt scissors, much less a key piece of IT infrastructure.
And if you're gullible enough to think that's a reasonable defence, I'd put you in that category too. I'm not really interested in anything else you have to say, that was just a disqualifyingly vapid argument you just made.
He literally said that they are now the party of the little guys. That's what "the tables have turned" means. That says a lot about how he feels about Trump, and a lot about how much you can trust his judgement on anything.
Right but there was still the need in the moment to get it made, and presumably the programmer could tell it was functioning when they were testing it, and if they were let go and the system was abandoned, that kind of proves that they were necessary to make the system work.
That's different to having a job as a box ticker, where you write reports all day that don't ever get read, and you know they don't get read, and you're paid to do it anyway.
I think a lot of those jobs could be replaced with AI without anybody noticing right away.
Although losing that expertise probably will have long term effects. I'm not saying they're useless, I'm saying they know as they work that it won't be paid attention to. That's what I meant.
You're not wrong that there's a lot of waste, but even if what you're doing is inconsequential if done right, it still carries the potential to set everything on fire if you do it wrong.
Who was that? I said sex is about interpersonal connection. I didn't learn that from porn, I learned it from sex.
I trusted the audience to understand that good porn or erotica in general should be about portraying that connection in some form, which is what is actually hot about sex, but maybe I gave you too much credit.
But hey, if sexuality to you is really that shallow, you're free to pity me, because I put absolutely no stock in your opinion.
Of all the desk jobs, programmers are least likely to be doing bullshit jobs that it doesn't matter if it's done by a glorified random number generator.
Like I never heard a programmer bemoan that they do all this work and it just vanishes into a void where nobody interacts with it.
The main complaint is that if they make one tiny mistake suddenly everybody is angry and it's your fault.
Some managers are going to have some rude awakenings.
I'd suggest that if you think AI porn is anywhere near the real thing, that's probably because you think porn is already slop in the same way that these AI bros think of code or creative writing or whatever other information-based thing you already know AI can't do well.
Porn isn't slop, people aren't just interestingly-shaped slabs of meat. Sex is fundamentally about interpersonal connection. It might be one of the things that LLMs and robots are the worst at.
