President Donald Trump on Friday terminated Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., the country's highest-ranking military officer, from his position.

Brown’s dismissal comes amid a wave of administration shake-ups, including efforts to cut up to 10% of the federal workforce, as part of the president’s crusade to reshape the federal government.

His memories of Ala Mhigo had always been hazy; he'd barely seen his third summer when they fled, taking only what his mother could carry.

Growing up in Ul'dah, his mother would tell him stories of high red stone walls gleaming in the morning light. Of city squares echoing with drums and dancing. Of markets teaming with merchants from every corner of Gyr Abania, the old man who sold the best tunics, the coffee vendor who would read your fortune in the grounds for an extra coin, the grandmother of thirteen who sold kube and yaprakh from a tiny stall while lamenting how great her misfortune to have so few descendants.

Of the day they would return.

He had waited five and twenty years to lay his eyes on those walls, following the Bull of Ala Mhigo to war against his mother's wishes and all good sense... but the drums were silent, the dances forgotten, the vendors long gone...

Only echoes remained.

Courtney Kube, Carol E. Lee, Vaughn Hillyard, and Mosheh Gains at NBC News:

The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.  Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the U.S. official and person with knowledge of the plan said. “They’re taking it very seriously,” the person with knowledge of the plan said. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Matt Flynn, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for counternarcotics and global threats, is helping lead the effort, the sources said. It is being framed as a review of how the U.S. first got into the war in Afghanistan and how the U.S. ultimately withdrew.

[...] President-elect Donald Trump has condemned the withdrawal as a “humiliation” and “the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.”  It is not clear, though, what would legally justify “treason” charges since the military officers were following the orders of President Joe Biden to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

A 2022 independent review by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction blamed both the Trump and Biden administrations for the chaotic U.S. withdrawal in 2021. Trump first reached an agreement with the Taliban in 2020 to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan, roughly 13,000 troops, and release 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison. The Biden administration then completed the withdrawal and badly overestimated the ability of Afghan government forces to fight the Taliban on their own. Trump’s choice for secretary of defense, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, has criticized the withdrawal, saying the U.S. lost the war and wasted billions of dollars. In his book “The War on Warriors,” Hegseth wrote, “The next president of the United States needs to radically overhaul Pentagon senior leadership to make us ready to defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people need to be fired. The debacle in Afghanistan, of course, is the most glaring example.”

[...] The transition team is looking at the possibility of recalling several commanders to active duty for possible charges, the U.S. official said.  It’s not clear the Trump administration would pursue treason charges, and instead could focus on lesser charges that highlight the officer’s involvement. “They want to set an example,” said the person with knowledge of the plan.

NBC News is reporting that Donald Trump’s transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former US military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan to face a potential court martial.

This is a fascistic insult to common sense.

Borrower kubes wanted a smoochie from Andre and she fuckin' gOT THE SMOOCH

[sayakube]

Where does you username come from?

I get the Saya for Sayaka but where does the kube come from?

The name was made paralleling my sibling's tumblr username @kyokube-blog (which has been inactive for years now, They still like Pmmm but they don't dedicate a blog to it anymore or go to tumblr anymore either.)

as for the name itself its a sorta vague reference to this blocky madoka figure merch

where you see a "sayakube"

[yeuc-c]

sorry for another question im hyperfixtated

1- would poob use xenogenders? they give off the vibe that they would

2- would poob get offended by the birthday floor and everyone destroying it

3- whats that silly cat jesters name on the krumbl kube?

4- what the hell happened to jimbo

5- would gregoriah and enphoso get along

6- why does spud not like to speak english?

i have the TISM!!!!

1. Maybe

2. No, but it would make poob very sad

3. Miché

4. The carpenters found jimbo

5. On a base level yes, but gregoriah wouldn't trust enphoso

6. Spud has major brain damage from the gnarpian attack and sometimes finds he'd prefer to just say 'spud' over and over again

[thekubekat]

I have learned that both miché and krumble kube have been removed from the game in this recent update (i believe this is true but ill have to recheck the shop) I dont plan on removing this blog (unless asked of course) but now im sad/ooc

When comparing alumina tubes, quartz tubes, and silicon carbide tubes, each material offers distinct advantages and drawbacks based on factors like temperature resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and cost. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you choose the best option for your specific application:

Temperature Resistance

Alumina Tubes:

Withstand temperatures up to 1800°C or more, particularly when made from high-purity alumina (99.7% or higher).

Suitable for extreme high-temperature environments, such as furnaces and kilns.

Quartz Tubes:

Can withstand temperatures up to 1100°C.

Suitable for moderate temperature applications but not ideal for extremely high temperatures.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Have the highest temperature resistance of the three, handling temperatures up to 1600–2400°C depending on the grade.

Ideal for applications involving extremely high heat and harsh environments, such as high-temperature furnaces or combustion chambers.

Mechanical Strength

Alumina Tubes:

Excellent mechanical strength and durability, making them resistant to wear and stress at high temperatures.

Can withstand heavy mechanical and thermal loads.

Quartz Tubes:

Fragile compared to alumina and silicon carbide. Quartz is more prone to breaking under mechanical stress or impact, making it less durable.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Superior mechanical strength and hardness, making them highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and thermal stress.

Often preferred in environments with high mechanical loads.

Thermal Shock Resistance

Alumina Tubes:

Good thermal shock resistance, but not as high as quartz. Rapid heating and cooling can cause cracking if not managed carefully.

Quartz Tubes:

Excellent thermal shock resistance. Quartz can withstand sudden changes in temperature without cracking, making it useful in applications where rapid heating or cooling occurs.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Moderate thermal shock resistance, better than alumina but not as good as quartz. Silicon carbide is tough, but extreme temperature fluctuations can still pose a challenge.

Chemical Resistance

Alumina Tubes:

Highly resistant to chemical attack, especially from most acids and bases. Ideal for processes involving reactive chemicals at high temperatures.

Quartz Tubes:

High resistance to chemical corrosion, particularly in oxidizing environments. However, it can be attacked by strong alkaline substances at high temperatures.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Extremely resistant to chemical corrosion from a wide range of chemicals, including strong acids and alkalis. This makes it suitable for highly corrosive environments.

Electrical Insulation

Alumina Tubes:

Excellent electrical insulator at high temperatures, making it ideal for applications where electrical insulation is crucial (e.g., thermocouple protection).

Quartz Tubes:

Also a good electrical insulator, although alumina is generally preferred when higher thermal stability and electrical insulation are needed.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Not a good insulator, as silicon carbide has some electrical conductivity, especially at high temperatures. It’s more suitable for applications where electrical conductivity is not a concern.

Cost

Alumina Tubes:

Typically, mid-range in terms of cost. They offer a balance between performance and price, particularly for high-temperature applications requiring strength and durability.

Quartz Tubes:

Generally more affordable than alumina or silicon carbide, especially for moderate temperature applications. However, the fragility may lead to more frequent replacements.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

More expensive than both alumina and quartz due to their superior properties. However, their durability and high-temperature resistance can justify the cost in demanding applications.

Applications

Alumina Tubes:

Used in furnaces, thermocouple protection, kiln furniture, high-temperature processing, powder processing, and scientific research.

Preferred when both high-temperature resistance and mechanical strength are required.

Quartz Tubes:

Used in optics, semiconductor processing, light sources, and moderate temperature applications where thermal shock resistance is critical.

Suitable for applications with rapid heating/cooling cycles but moderate temperature limits.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Used in high-temperature furnaces, combustion systems, heat exchangers, and abrasive environments.

Ideal for extreme temperature applications and environments with high mechanical or chemical stress.

Durability and Longevity

Alumina Tubes:

High durability, especially in high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments, leading to longer life spans compared to quartz.

Quartz Tubes:

Less durable due to their fragility, leading to shorter lifespans in environments with mechanical or thermal stress.

Silicon Carbide Tubes:

Highly durable, with excellent resistance to wear and tear, especially in abrasive or chemically corrosive environments.

Welcome to the trash blog

Time to make a pinned post, here we go

Heya y'all I'm kubes, most of y'all might know me from my main blog @kuberish. I draw G/t vore with only humanoid male preds focus. There's a buncha safe vore but lately I've been also enjoying drawing a lot of fatal vore as well, so beware. I will tag things accordingly as good as I can.

Once again, this is vore blog, so if you're a minor please unfollow me this instant and DNI, go back to my SFW blog @kuberish. This is not a space for you. If I find out, you're a minor and you're following me, you'll be instantly blocked. It's self-explanatory lmao

Anyways, I'm usually very open to RP so DM me to ask if I'm still open for them. Usually always super open to asks as well :>

"That doesn't matter. You can tell me as much or as little as you want to. I'll listen. Pinky promise." Floribeth holds up her finger in order to prove it. "Besides, I've...got a similar disposition." Rambles upon rambles with this one, really.

And it's not like she's unfamiliar with having a project going on; in fact, Floribeth is still working on a passion project of her own: cataloguing every vampiric strain, ever. (So long as it doesn't catch the eyes of those in charge, that is.)

She gives Esme a warm smile before a trinket made of bamboo catches her eyes. "Wait, is that a Kubing? A jaw harp? Wow, I didn't know you guys had stuff like that!"

Her eyes twinkle. "I'm not musically inclined beyond humming as I work on my own things or singing in the shower but I do know a thing or two about it: did you know that it is traditionally considered an intimate instrument, used for communication between family or a loved one in close quarters? Back then, anyone could use it, really, but women used it most - for short distance courtship."

Last week, Hegseth wrote a memo in which he banned transgender people from joining the military and restricted the use of some learning materials in Defense Department schools.

Feb. 11, 2025, 6:25 AM MST

By Courtney Kube

Military families protesting the Defense Department's anti-DEI push heckled Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on his arrival at United States European Command headquarters in Germany on Tuesday.

On a visit to the U.S. military’s key European military hub in Stuttgart, Hegseth was booed by around two dozen people who live at the base in an apparent demonstration against the policies currently being implemented by the Trump administration. 

The demonstrators at the short protest repeatedly chanted “DEI,” apparently in a reference to the recent ban Hegseth has placed on some books in defense department schools. Hegseth last week ordered the restriction of learning materials covering subjects that included psychology and immigration in DOD schools.
