In various industries, colors are used to differentiate between various voltages so it's obvious whether you're working with high voltage, low voltage, etc. so you can determine the necessary precautions for whatever you're dealing with (and some will also make the connectors incompatible so you can't accidentally join high and low voltage sets of wiring). I'm not super familiar with the automotive side, but I believe they use orange for high voltage and light blue for 48v.

Major General Anders, actually. O8 vs. O4.

I believe it's more the states with no state income tax at all plus those that have a state-provided version of "direct file" already available.

If those were the only records, you're probably correct, but there are sources other than the national archives that can be used in some cases such that I'd still do a search, especially for high level awards like silver stars and up.

Mastodon is federated, so users of their instance are able to interact with the wider set of Mastodon instances, much like people with @google.com emails can interact with people with @microsoft.com emails, despite both instances being separately controlled and not open to people outside their respective companies. Not having an account on an instance, in other words, is not the same as it not being accessible.

Correct, this was the first direct-to-GEO launch, so they needed the extra dV to get there. Left nothing in the tank for a landing, so to speak.

Speaking of reference frames, I deal with quite a few for Earth-bound things, and the primary ones we use are ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed) and ECI (Earth-Centered, Inertial), which then we will often move to a relative local frame for whatever object matters.

Is the equivalent set available for Martian Nav (MCMF/MCI, I guess), or do you have different/specialized/etc. frames based on something unique to Mars.

Maybe just a big fan of the Tim Allen movie?

Yeah, looks like it's been slashdotted. (Or whatever the appropriate verbing of an aggregation site is in 2022).

These days we just call it licensing Red Hat.

Very cool. Also, did you add that feature just in response to my question?

As far as the download, is this equivalent to "Method 2" of downloading it via the built-in browser, so it's not in the Kindle Library and won't have a cover, (but it will still remember the reading position)?

Thanks for the support.
