The first one is quite short, and well worth the quick read

True, though they are more common than you think, there's still thousands of flights daily across the U.S. and where I live its the only mode of transportation in/out of a lot of communities. On thing that's common though is a mod to allow the planes to run on car gas, 85 or better octane. That helps us and them (much cheaper) and a lot of modern small aircraft are moving to diesel piston engines like the Thielert engines.

And its still not entirely banned in the US, AVGAS for small planes is a "low" lead fuel that still contains a decent amount of lead.

Implying the presence of a dildo as a structural member(ha) doesn't negate or speak hatefully about the use of sex toys or people who use them, but it does imply he was being submissive to someone else(GOP). This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ support. Sex toys don't belong to just them.

The worst timeline indeed

I hope this doesn't affect the aviation weather services, we are going to see even more crashes and near misses

I would if it was available to add extra info/context to any automation that uses the light for status. That said I really do like these lights and will probably end up with more of them sooner than later.

I think all the animations are executed hub side so they don't show up on the ZHA/Zigbee2MQTT. Or they just aren't mapped (yet)

You used to need GlovePie to set it all up, but I think Dolphin has a driver built in now. You pair the controllers to a PC the same as the console but it was more finicky last time I tried than the pair to console process

I usually keep 1 or 2 PLAs in there, one tough material like ASA and one silly fun one. Let's me just select the right mats for the job and hit print and I rarely have to change out a spool unless I'm doing something colorful. It's awesome

If you want to print with high temp materials the enclosure is a must, so it's a huge change there, if all you do is PLA, PETG then it's not as critical. But I still think the Bambu P1S bundle is the better deal, similar sized printer, similar motion system and ease of use, and you get the 4 spool AMS which is a game changer even if you don't print multicolor. I want to love the prusa stuff but it's just too expensive
