For those of you in (or related to someone in the military who are hearing about the #DODVaccineMandate in Sept 15, and thinking about refusing it, let me just put on my Marine Corp SNCO hat and mention 3 things.
86. 92. 134.
Those are the articles you'll be tried under.
Corps!
That's what happens when I turn on predictive text..
But yes it is that simple: if you're ordered to go to the clinic and you refuse, you can be charged UA (Art 86), and under Art 91 for violating a lawful order + art 134 for being a general pain the ass.
"But STEM, I don't believe the order is valid!"
You're allowed (and expected) to refuse to obey an unlawful order
However, that doesn't stop the Marine Corps from charging your ass for violating it. You'll have the option to challenge the order's validity at your courts-martial
So if you want to challenge the DOD on it's validity, go ahead - jump on that career ending hand grenade. That's your right. You go to the stockade/brig until your trial, and plead your case in front of a panel of your superior officers with your JAG trying not to laugh at you

- 95% of you have never heard of
- 4% of you that have only know her name from a test question
- 100% of us depend on her work to enjoy our modern lives.
Her name is Maud.
Dr. Maud Menten.
Maud Leonora Menten was born in 1879 in Ontario. She went to school at the University of Toronto, where she studied medicine.
In 1904, she got her BA.
Her M.B. in 1907.
Her M.D. in 1911.
And her Ph.D. in 1916 .
But she did her thesis work in Chicago and Germany.
Why?
Canada didn't allow women to do research. So in 1912 she moved to Berlin. Here she met up with Dr. Leonor Michaelis, who was doing work on a subject near and dear to every biochemists' heart: enzyme kinetics.
Together they wrote the Michaelis-Menten Equation in 1913.
So I decided to convert one of my crockpot recipes over to Instant-Pot, and thought I'd share the results and the recipe.
This isn't a fancy dinner, but it's classic comfort food and great for a cool rainy evening.
Ingredients: (serves 4, we have lots of leftovers)
2 lb sirloin tip roast
1 small bunch rosemary
1 small bunch thyme 1/2 bag of baby carrots 1/2 package cleaned white mushrooms (sliced)
2 clove garlic
2 cups beef stock
potatoes for mashing
2 tbsp. butter
Salt/pepper 1/2 shallot
Tools you'll need:
an Instant Pot (ours is a 6 qt model)
Tongs for flipping the roast and removing potatoes
aluminum foil for potatoes
microwave (for heating butter)
something to scrape the bottom of the instantpot
Watching Trump supporters scream about all of the money they lost on betting sites today when the electoral college voted might by my new favorite thing about 2020.
These idiots went on #betfair and got rickrolled by professional gamblers who took their money with a smile...
Wait … they GENUINELY believe that the LARP electors today actually were something genuine, they don't know that the only way a state can be "contested" is if two CERTIFIED slates of electors are sent by the governor (Hawaii 1960), and that Powell lied about cases in SCOTUS.
some of these idiots bet 10s of thousands of dollars. And if that's not stupid enough, they did so from foreign countries AFTER Nov 3 (some as late as today!) and didn't bother to learn how US elections work. They THINK that what they learned from Q is real.
They didn't start as coins, but rather medallions.
In WW1, a wealthy aristocrat was placed in charge of a squadron of pilots. He commemorated by having a medallion with the squadron seal made for them.
@DavidFSkinner@bubbaprog One of those pilots was shot down over France, and he was captured trying to return back to his unit. He was suspected of being a German spy, and was going to be executed.
@DavidFSkinner@bubbaprog His equipment was being inspected for items of military importance, and the medallion was discovered. Someone had heard of the aristocrat having these medals made, and recognized the squadron logo. Instead of being shot as a traitor, they offered him wine.
This may be unpopular, but it's based on sound strategy:
Senate Dems / House Dems should NOT focus on removing Trump, because the GOP will block them, and it distracts from the real fight.
No, not the election. The GOP could care LESS about that.
It's the 2 mos AFTERWARDS.
There is NOTHING legally preventing both Thomas AND Alito from resigning on November 4th, and if North Carolina is any indicator when the GOP lost, that kind of shenanigans is EXACTLY what we'll see.
And we saw yesterday not just who will replace RBG if we lose, but also who will replace Alito and Thomas if we win.
Cotton, Cruz, Hawley. It's not a coincidence they floated 3 names.
Nothing more privileged than white people going into a Black neighborhood, burning down their one grocery store, bank, or market, and then going back to their comfortable suburban home and tweeting how "it's just a property."
To you, it might be a "property".
But to that community, it's fresh food.
It's jobs for the neighborhood.
it's a deterrent to gangs and drugs.
It's a chance at college.
The fact you consider their hard-earned, hard-built community as "just property" is appalling.
It was harder for that community to get permits.
It was harder to get loans, they needed more capital than white communities. It's harder to get supplies. It's harder in every aspect because of people who think that one property in Brooklyn Heights is the same as one in Harlem.
