Um, how many more need to get murdered by the government before you come up with something even the slightest bit more effective than “sit on our asses and keep getting murdered”?
We’re long past the third box of liberty, which (barring whatever incredible plan you’re working on) leaves us with either the fourth box, or just accept people being murdered.

After 31 days, you’re not awol. The military lists you as a deserter, and now ICE is really looking for you. You get stopped by the police for even the most minor traffic infraction, you’re going to Leavenworth for a tenner at least.
Oh I’m not speaking to the morality of deserting, only that it would make your situation immensely worse.
Your wife’s already locked up, the military knows who she is, and now you've deserted. They toss your wife into solitary (or worse) and forget about her until you decide she shouldn’t suffer, and turn yourself in. You probably will, and now you’ve just bought both of you a one-way trip to whatever hellhole the regime decides to send you both to.
All of which could’ve probably been avoided by not deserting. js
Haha nah that’s just a booter on vacation lol they’re too green to be given brig time. But that’s at the CO’s discretion, but three months is nothing lmao
But even COs have a time limit which to be lenient. Had a dude jump over the side of the carrier and deserted for a year. Voluntarily returned and did a month in the carrier’s brig. Deserted again and got sent to a shore brig for five years and DD’d. No matter the branch, there’s a depreciation on the fuckton invested until it’s brig time lmao
Guy we’re talking about doesn’t sound like he’s just gonna take some leave and mosey on back, nor does he seem the type to give all that much of a fuck about the inherent monetary value of their training lmao after long enough, the value is lost and then it’s brig time for some years and a double d.
To the best of my knowledge, all personnel get dropped from their unit rolls after thirty days and then get listed as deserters.
Based on the captain’s masts of the sailors who went UA from the commands I was stationed at, time away doesn’t seem to matter as much as intent to stay gone from service, avoiding hazardous duty or some contract obligation.
I don’t see scared booters running as really counting in the same manner as the commenter we’re talking about, especially where they declare intent to be gone and staying gone until the wife’s free (and as they said, even then they might stay gone.)
Having not been an SEA nor having anything to do with JAG or MPs, I can’t say with certainty when a naval command (let alone the Army or any other branch, ftm) will notify the police as to the sm’s status as desertion.
Again, given the new nature of booters and their purpose for desertion, they’re probably going to get leniency based on their non-PO/NCO status, but that may not always be so. CO’s discretion applies here.
In short: your booter? You’re right, very probably not. A booter’s who’s made it clear that LE’s gonna have to drag ‘em back? Or commenter? After just (or possibly even less than) 31 days? If the courts martial determines based on presented evidence that ten years can be awarded and feels justified in making it happen, then yes, a tenner after (or even under) just 31 days.
The issue is the support for the gasket assembly. It's basically a plastic puck that the valve and gaskets attach to.

You could do both, I reckon. You can try to fix the part while having a new one on stand by. If your repair fails, you’ll have the new part ready to go and it’ll’ve cost you the $14 and you holding the new part for however long it took for the repair to fail (the repair might work well for quite a long while.)
Buying the new part is of course the simpler option.

I’m a ps player mainly because I got the PS1 to replace my Saturn and haven’t had many bad experiences with Sony so far, but I’m definitely looking forward to the upcoming stream machines and will probably get a Steam Deck sometime soon.
So they can figure out something that fucking obvious, but still post on Twitter. That’s like them agreeing they shouldn’t put their hand into a running meat grinder while doing a stellar job of aiming a loaded weapon at their own head and casually looking for the trigger.

Your sarcasm at his expense more than absolves you of any monstrousness. You don’t disrespect the woman murdered by Nazi ice, you rightfully disrespect the Nazi who’d very likely unironically make the very claims you’re being sarcastic about.
Neither the Nazi post nor the SA Nazi’s endorsement of said Nazi post is at all shocking to anyone even remotely bothering to pay even the slightest attention these days.
Understandable. I got it from pure coincidence: when creating a handle, I just tapped the x key thinking that it’d already been taken (it’s a single letter, those go fast) and that I might get some ideas from the suggestions that appear when a handle’s taken. None appeared and it took me a minute to realize I could just take X, so I did. I really didn’t expect it to be available and was baffled that it was.
It wasn’t until someone else pointed out the possible connection to the Nazi shithole and that Nazi’s obsession with the letter that I felt kind of good taking it, since this X absolutely hates the fucking Nazi and his shithole platform, Nazis in general, and sure af don’t mind saying so.
It's my toxic trait
