  • Well as a subordinate who is given illegal orders they’re kind of fucked there’s no good choice so that’s why it was so important for commanders to only issue legal orders. So they don’t put their men in a bad legal situation.

    If a solider doesn’t follow the command they’re given probably going to be found guilty of insubordination, regardless of whether it is illegal or not. They’ll probably be called a criminal, lose all the benefits that come from service, or possibly be executed according to this administration.

    If a soldier follows illegal orders like these then they can be charged as war criminals and executed.

    The ONLY way to be able to refuse illegal orders is to have an enormous amount of support from other soldiers and the judge advocate General’s office. Which are resources your average soldier doesn’t have. Yes the Uniform Code of Military Justice says following illegal orders is illegal but the reality is very different.






  • Gambling addiction is about the high like any other addiction. It comes down to brain chemistry, and personality. There’s the high from anticipation, and a second from the payoff just like every addiction. Gambling is just easier than most because it’s money, something we all have to use. Like food addiction, it’s something we all need to consume.



  • Well as it turns out, when Padme Amidala dies she is actually resurrected a long, long time after her death, in a galaxy far, far away. On a planet named Earth, it’s just their word for dirt, in a city called Jerusalem as a actor named Natalie Portman. Who will try to walk the line between Israeli citizen and international celebrity actor. Unfortunately for her when Hammas attacks Israel and Israel commits a genocide in response Natalie Portman doesn’t join the anti-genocide side. Padme Amidala isn’t a Zionist because I don’t think Earth has humans when Padme is alive.



  • My advice as someone who’s server is so large backups aren’t feasible at my price point. Ensure that things you care a lot about, photos, family videos, tax information, things that can’t be replaced have a proper 3-2-1 backup solution and test it periodically. Nothing worse that putting all that effort into a backup then not being able to recover.

    I do not recommend backing up media, like movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music. Use a 2-1. Have two copies of the data with one offline. I have over 20Tb of high-res media and it would cost more than it’s worth to me to backup that stuff. So I don’t. I can just redownload The Lord of the Rings, I can’t redownload the video my parents took of me in a childhood school play.

    While a prevalence of 0.8% may seem like a tiny amount but when applied to a large population it’s a significant number of people. Let’s say a city has a nice round 100,000 people, a small city by any measure. That’s 800 people, not such a small number anymore. The lives of those 800 people are worth thinking about. Granted in the context of a larger population but it’s still something.


  • I agree with your take on all of them except Anycubic, if you can get them for cheap. By that I don’t mean the forever sale on their website. I started with a used anycubic that I got for less than $100.00 USD. While it does suck it let me see if I actually wanted to spend more money on this hobby or not. I’m already looking into getting a Prusa someday but for now it’s enough. So there is a spot for Anycubic, it’s entry level for printing curious.
