Revolution 1 by the Beatles

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

Aircraft maintenance here, even a tiny drone can cause a lot of damage and potentially cause the aircraft to be down for maintenance for a long time. The rotor blades are tough and would probably be ok to get back to the ground with a tiny 250g drone strike but would require inspections and could possibly damage the rotor beyond continued service and require replacement, which may not be on hand. Anything larger and it could be catastrophic

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.

Those don't seal well, so probably not

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.
