Please also include a starter comment to explain why the link is of interest to the community and to start the conversation. Link posts without starter comments may be temporarily or permanently removed. (rule is different from /r/Medicine)

Avoid login or paywall requirements when possible. Please submit direct links to PDFs as text/self posts with the link in the text. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.

Trolling, abuse, and insults (either personal or aimed at a specific group) are not allowed. Do not attack other users’ flair.

Comments from users who appear on this community only to discuss a specific political topic, medical condition, health care role, or similar single-topic issues will be removed. Comments which deviate from the topic of a thread to interject an unrelated personal opinion (e.g. politics) or steer the conversation to their pet issue will be removed.
Protect patient confidentiality: Posting protected health information may result in an immediate ban. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information. For health information arising from the United States, follow the HIPAA Privacy Rule’s De-Identification Standard.

This community is for posting high quality photographs of militaries from around the world.
RULES:
1 - Keep it civil. No slapfights.
2 - Keep it classy.
3 - Keep it real. Posts must actually be photographs. No art or CGI mock-ups in the main image post; art or mock-ups may be added supplemental in the body of the post. Posted thread photos should not be edited aside from minor blurring of faces or other sensitive subjects, or date-time stamps.
4 - Keep it informative. Posts are encouraged to give descriptions and sources in the body paragraph. While not mandatory it will help foster discussions. Users are strongly encouraged to find and post the original source and photographer if the information is available.
COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION:
Pictures of any and all nations. Modern and historical photos are allowed. Photos may be of vehicles, equipment, troops, installations, or anything else military. Photographs of military hardware that is being displayed, but has not yet been adopted are allowed. Photographs of historical military equipment that are in a museum are allowed.
As a courtesy to the Lemmy.world server load, you are encouraged to host pictures rather than posting them directly.Easy options for hosting pictures include catbox.moe and imgur.com, but other domains are welcome.
When looking for photos to post here, try to look for ones that are unique rather than those which have been widely popularized already. Take care to avoid reposting as much as possible.
HELPFUL STUFF:
One source for photographs is the U.S. government run www.dvidshub.net, for anyone interested. Other sources are welcome.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On Science and Medicine skeptics and MAHA
When you opponent says, “I simply don’t trust you. That is what it is.”
Your reply should be a question:
"What specific attributes or expertise would someone need to demonstrate for you to trust their judgment, even if you disagreed with them at the start?"
or maybe
"Is there any combination of professional background and transparency that would outweigh your personal intuition on this topic?"

Hmmm, methinks, the researchers may have had a bias judging by the language they are using. As someone who has been on a plethora of medication cannibis has been the only thing to relieve my symptoms and allowed me to fumction day to day. I do agree it's over perscribed. If we want to let people have access to regulayed cannibis products, just make it recreational, so those of us who need it as a medication have access.
