It's pretty fucked up that we're at the point of relying on service members to decide that an order is unlawful. The Uniform Code of Military Justice doesn't exactly side with the military members in this instance, but it also doesn't explicitly prohibit it. Here are some crib notes from the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

United States v. Sterling, 75 M.J. 407 (a lawful order must relate to military duty, which includes all activities reasonably necessary to accomplish a military mission, or safeguard or promote the morale, discipline, and usefulness of members of a command and directly connected with the maintenance of good order in the service).

(the dictates of a person’s conscience, religion, or personal philosophy cannot justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order).

(an order is presumed to be lawful, and the accused bears the burden of rebutting the presumption).

(to be lawful, an order must (1) have a valid military purpose, and (2) be clear, specific, and narrowly drawn; in addition, the order must not conflict with the statutory or constitutional rights of the person receiving the order).

Perhaps a nice stylish codpiece to make it more "realistic"!

She did some "erotic modeling" after the show that's out there on the interwebs, if you're interested.

Yeah they will rehydrate the flower to the right level and give you a bit more bulk and flavor.

I added THCa to my original post, but the decarboyxlation process is how the various acids (the A at the end) in the plant break down, yeah. I wouldn't really call it degrading, but THC can degrade over time if exposed to oxygen or light, or stored somewhere too dry. They sell these little saltwater packet humidor things from some company called Boveda. After drying and curing, you throw the pack in a mason jar along with your flower and then you can store it for up to a year without losing much quality.

The chemical production actually occurs in the trichomes themselves, so you need unfertilized female flowers,, or at least sugar leaves, to (eventually) produce THC. Although the plant doesnt directly produce THC, it produces things like CBGa and THCa which get broken down through a process called decarboxylation (removing the carboxyl group from a molecule and replacing it with hydrogen.) into CGB and THC. The most common way to decarb it is with heat through smoking, vaping or cooking but some decarboxylation also happens naturally over time during the curing process after harvest.

I was unfortunately in the hospital for a week or so when these were starting to flower and they got really stressed out from lack of water but they came out alright in the end.

Those are cannabis plants, not tomatoes. Although botanically speaking cannabis and tomatoes are basically cousins, and have very similar growth requirements. So if you "accidentally" planted cannabis and fed it thinking you planted tomatoes then it would do quite well.

payment processing isn't handled by individual websites. You can see this one is powered by Square (that mobile pay company with the little white pucks you could slide into your headphone jack back in the day)

I saw that. If you go into about:config and diisable literally everything that has 'ml' in the name you can turn this bs off. One day i'll switch browsers D= Also it's really funny to me that publicly all these companies are shouting "AI!" but the engineers seem to know it's really just machine learning.

edit There are also some *.ml strings you can just straight up delete.
