UmbralRaptop: sec, let me take a look
<UmbralRaptop>
okay
<mofh>
UmbralRaptop: yeah, that's just a plane-constrained rigid rotor, those are the correct eigenvalues, and part b is just kinda tedious
<mofh>
(like I can't think of any other way to do that than just by applying the time-evolution operator to \psi(\phi,0), but that seems either too easy or too hard depending on what they want at the end???)
<mofh>
(presumably they want you to compute A first to normalize the state, but otherwise it's just multiplying some complex eggsponentials together???)

I mean, that seems reasonable

Will someone feed the cats... they are being noisy again
<B787_300>
(Context. My parents cats are only really loud when it is food time or right after everyone went to bed)
<egg>
> right after everyone went to bed
<egg>
ANBOcat is like that
<egg>
also it is very loud
<B787_300>
My parents cats arent loud immediately after everyone goes in and shut their doors but waits a good 15-30 mins
<B787_300>
Which is super annoying as you can be on the edge of sleep... then loud cats

egg|work|egg: reading up on orbit freezing and apparently there's a perturbing J3 you can use to mitigate J2 somewhat
<mofh>
which makes no sense, J3 != 0 would imply Earth being slightly pear-shaped, which I'm pretty sure is not the case.
<whitequark>
earth is kind of pear shaped these days
<whitequark>
come to think of it, not sure where that idiom comes from
<Raptop>
That's silly. Obviously we'd install Arch or something on people in here
<Raptop>
And yes, earth is slightly pear-shaped (including literally)
<mofh>
I was fairly certain it was symmetric about the equatorial plane, like there is flattening but not asymmetry.
<mofh>
Huh.

[WIKIPEDIA] Antinatalism | "Antinatalism, or anti-natalism, is a philosophical position that assigns a negative value to birth. Antinatalists argue that people should abstain from procreation because it is morally bad (some also recognize the procreation of other sentient beings as morally bad). In scholarly and in literary writings..."
