Damning new data from inside the Pentagon suggests that U.S. forces are currently expending more resources defending Israel from missile strikes than Israeli forces themselves...

Three officials with knowledge of Defense Department assessments told The Washington Post on Thursday that the lopsided effort “underscores the extent to which Washington has shouldered the burden of countering Iranian ballistic missile strikes during Operation Epic Fury.”

U.S. forces, according to those assessments, have used up to half their total inventory of certain high-altitude interceptor systems, while Israel has deployed its own at a slower rate....
The situation has apparently sparked alarm among American allies in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, which depend on U.S. anti-missile defense systems to deter attacks from hostile states such as China and North Korea.

Hostile states, who haven't bothered anyone. Just like Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines, even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations were “proceeding nicely.”

The strikes were done “to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” but the military was “using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” Capt. Tim Hawkins, U.S. Central Command spokesman, said in a statement.

Further details were not immediately available, including more specifics on the threats from Iran and what this means for negotiations. Earlier, Trump said any agreement to end the Iran war should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered agreements from Trump’s first term aimed at normalizing relations with Israel.

Based on the inspiring true story of Lilly Ledbetter, an ordinary Alabama tire factory supervisor who discovers she's being paid less than her male peers. Her fight for fair pay takes her to the Supreme Court and Congress, while powerful forces try to shut her down. Lilly refuses to accept the status quo and has the courage to fight for what is right.

• How can iodéOS (Lineage fork) be installed on phones with bootloaders locked?
• Why would phones like the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) and Note 9 appear on their list of phone that it can be installed on when it has "no" across the board on this list?
• On phones with the bootloader locked, does it just sit on top of the existing android OS?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am looking at as many options as possible available with a decent phone and camera long term to move away from Android and Google completely. I have done in the past, but looking for semi long term for when Android becomes locked down.

I just don't understand how they can create an installer that works with bootloader locked phones, and then the OS remain completely secure.

TIA

How 1260 floating solar panels are cutting energy costs in Warrnambool

Wannon Water has deployed one of Australia’s largest floating solar arrays to help drive down costs across its network in southern Victoria.

The new system can generate more than 600,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity each year, with 1260 bi‑facial solar panels capturing sunlight from above as well as reflected light from the water surface.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to ask if anyone has any game controller recommendations.

I’m looking for a controller that has open source software. The hardware doesn’t have to be open source, but if it needs software on PC - that software should be open-source.

Does anyone know of anything good out there? Would really appreciate your suggestions! Thanks in advance!

日本語 (Japanese): 皆様へ、ゲームコントローラーの推薦について何か知っていますか？オープンソースソフトウェアを持つコントローラーを探しています。ハードウェア自体はオープンソースである必要はありませんが、PC でソフトウェアが必要であればそのソフトウェアはオープンソースであるべきです。良いものがあるかどうか、誰かが知っているでしょうか？あなたの提案を本当に感謝します！先にありがとう！

[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]

Belly of the Beast recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban medical missions. One is focused on Cuban doctors deployed to Calabria, Italy, and another follows a brigade of African students from ELAM (Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine), who traveled to Guinea-Bissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island. Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."

Ideally no paint as buying an entire bucket if white paint for a white print seems wasteful.

Is there any sort of filler I could use to hide the seams between the parts I have glued together?
