Exactly my experience as well, I work in a very conservative industry and everyone who mentions rank choice voting blames the R losses on it. The first vote with it, it was clear that they had their head in the sand about how it worked because they thought it would fail, then came the “Rank the red” which didn’t work. It’s very surprising to them when people don’t vote the way they think they should. Their whole attitude is very childish and tribal.

Also it’s cool to see another Alaskan on here.

I’m not sure it would survive a repeal measure vote, any conservative support it seemed to have has eroded because it hasn’t worked in their favor and their team keeps losing. I’ve even heard it blamed for elections that weren’t ranked choice like the Anchorage mayoral election. We’ll see how long it lasts but I’m not hopeful

DSP is pretty good, definitely feels like 3d factorio but has a bit of a different philosophy on how production and logistics work. The latest major update added enemies and military management to the game, which gives it a better focus for your production.

Either trueNAS or unraid work as a vm in Proxmox, but there’s some caveats. You have to pass the whole hba/lsi pcie device to the vm so you can’t split the backplane of the server.

Aircraft maintenance has been doing the negative pressure unlock tests on cockpit doors for decades, its honestly surprising what isn’t common knowledge. Like others have said, rapid decompression of only a portion of the aircraft is very bad, and will result in massive structural failure as individual compartments aren’t pressure rated and will blow apart. The doors I’ve had experience with had large panels that would pop out when in a negative pressure event.

I had to do a double take, I have almost exactly copy of that cat tree and 2 voids, a short and long haired one. Was starting to wonder where my third cat came from. Good looking kitty friends, and they seem very happy with the new perch
