October 8, 1920 Start of Żeligowski's Mutiny
On this day in 1920 Poland surreptitiously commenced a "mutiny" in Lithuania under General Lucjan Żeligowski. Just the day prior Poland and Lithuania had entered into an agreement fixing their borders. The rebellion was a successful Polish effort to redraw those borders before the agreement even went into effect.

I'm really quite surprised that Private E1s were at one time one stripers, where as now they are E2s. Likewise, I'm surprised that Corporals were E3s up until 1948 and likewise Sergeants were E4s.The lack of "buck sergeants" (three stripes) between 1948 and 1959 is extremely surprising, although I see the E5 grade was called Sergeant and had three stripes and a rocker.
I'm most familiar with the 1959 to present structure and had always assumed Army Sergeants, as opposed to USAF Sergeants, were E5s or the equivalent.

Sudden Declarations of the End of the Oil Age?
October 7, 1920. False diplomacy, wishful thinking, and the Robins take game three.
The Baby At The Office
Awwww. . . ooooo. . . awwww.
Yes, a baby at the office.
And yes, those voices are all female.
Idiots in faculty lounges or in the halls of Radical Thin Whites For Pacifistic Gender Free Government Basic Income who think that there's not a gigantic (and biologically proven, by the way) difference between men and women have apparently never been in an office when a baby arrives.
Women stop working.
You could have a deadline which will destroy the American economy if not met today, but that doesn't matter.
There's a baby in the office.
The men keep working.
