PCIe update: I'm now able to parse incoming InitFC1-* DLLPs and store away the credit counts in a register (which I don't actually use for anything yet), and emit a singular InitFC1-P DLLP of my own
Next step will be writing the rest of the setup logic so I can actually fully bring up VC0, then start sending UpdateFC idle DLLPs at regular intervals to keep the link alive when I'm not sending traffic.

I wonder how many air traffic controllers will come back to work once they get paid again and how many people want to become air traffic controllers now that the government has shown utter disdain for them.

Traffic pollution alters the atmospheric electric field, study finds
A new study shows that traffic-related pollution in a major urban area in central Israel produces immediate, measurable changes in the atmospheric electric field, while particulate matter creates slower, delayed effects. The research also identifies a strong weekend signal, with reduced emissions leading to a marked weakening of the electric field.
