Can you safely pull the microSD card out of a Pi 5 after shutdown without unplugging power? After selecting shutdown, I wait for the LED to blink a few times then settle to red then blink once more and settle back to red. I then switch off or unplug the power before removing the microSD card. Can you just pull the card out at that point and use the press switch to start up after reinserting the card?

This is my test machine so cards are swapped frequently.
