I actually liked Xenocide, it was an interesting juxtaposition of his writing arguing one ideal and his own xenophobic personally held ideals.

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 skin is comprised of a laminated structure, an outer chemically milled skin(to reduce weight) and a "waffle" structure known tear straps. Yes there's rivets, but the structural strength is in that lamination between the waffle doubler.

Wait till you learn that Boeing has used laminated (glued) skins on every 737 since the 80s. Glue can be fine.

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)
