Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a message on X that the attack targeted “solely military and security sites” involved in what he said was the Israeli “genocide in Gaza and Lebanon” and was conducted by Iran in “self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.”
“Our action is concluded unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. In that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful,” Araghchi said.
Hezbollah is both an armed group and political party that controls much of southern Lebanon. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, although the European Union has only blacklisted its armed wing.
As the UN Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting on the Middle East for October 2, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack “a big mistake” and said Tehran “will pay for it.” He added: “Whoever attacks us, we attack them.”
U.S. President Joe Biden said he would discuss a response with Netanyahu. Asked what the response would be, Biden replied: “That’s in active discussion right now. That remains to be seen.”
The number of ballistic missiles fired was about twice as many as were launched in an attack on Israel earlier this year, Ryder added in a briefing with journalists. The attack in April was in retaliation for a deadly Israeli air strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
World leaders urged Iran and Israel to step back from the brink and negotiate a cease-fire.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also called for an immediate cease-fire and condemned Iran’s attack “in the strongest terms,” while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the attack was “totally unacceptable” and should be condemned by the entire world."
There are many competitions that are open to people outside the US, so I would check others out if you are interested in rockets!
Here is another: https://www.soundingrocket.org/sa-cup-home.html | https://www.soundingrocket.org/2024-sa-cup.html

Join in on your school clubs and research projects, or start some with friends!
There are many great competitions where previous programming experience would come in handy.
One competition that takes place in the U.S.:
NASA Student Launch
It actually IS rocket science! Student Launch is a 9-month long challenge that tasks student teams from across the U.S. to design, build, test, and launch a high-powered rocket carrying a scientific or engineering payload. It is a hands-on, research-based, engineering activity and culminates each year with a final launch in Huntsville, Alabama home of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The activity offers multiple challenges reaching a broad audience colleges and universities as well as middle and high school aged students across the nation.[1]
Culminating Event Dates: April 30 – May 4, 2025
Culminating event location: Huntsville, AL
Eligibility: Open to U.S. Students
Grade Levels: Grades 6-12, College and University

Thanks for sharing!

By design, WebExtensions is more limited than the promiscuous extension mechanism. By design, it also works better. Most of the Firefox development tax has disappeared, as only the WebExtensions API needs to be protected, rather than the entire code of Firefox. Most of the maintenance tax has disappeared, as the WebExtensions API are stable (there have unfortunately been a few exceptions). It is also much simpler to use, lets add-on developers share code between Firefox and Chromium add-ons and should eventually make it easier to write extensions that work flawlessly on Desktop and Mobile.
We must not fear using our critical thinking muscles, or else we will lose them.
There should be no need to ask, but I guess some still need to…
The normal route would be to check profile information and history; then it becomes really easy to figure out, for some.

AOC would never hate “Mama Bear!”
Limp Bizkit - My Generation [03:40 | Rap, Rock, In English, USA, Rap-Rock, Metal, Alternative Metal, Nu-Metal][1]
[Pre-Chorus]
So go ahead and talk shit, talk shit about me
Go ahead and talk shit about my g-g-generation[2]
The 3rd track off Limp Bizkit’s 2000 Album “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water”. In this song, Fred talks about generation x, his generation which at the time was criticised by the media for being violent and disoriented.
ITT: Blue MAGA and preaching to the choir.
Dr. Jill Stein has improved the Green Party; y’all just believe anything the duopoly and owner-class media spit out when it agrees with your thinking.
Muslim support is at an all-time high for Dr. Jill Stein; that is why AOCPelosi, the new attack dog of Blue MAGA, started up again.
I suggest getting out of the echo chambers and checking out independent journalists instead of continuing the self-censorship.
To keep his sanity, Joel crafts sentient robot companions, including Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsy, to keep him company and help him humorously comment on each movie as it plays, a process known as riffing. Each two-hour episode would feature a single movie (often edited for time constraints), sometimes preceded by various old shorts and educational films, with Joel, Tom, and Crow watching in silhouette from a row of theater seats at the bottom of the screen.
And we will continue to support them 100% of the way, so as to keep the duopoly and the status quo of supporting genocides all over the world.
More forever wars where the working class continue to be killed off, while the owner-class and their lackeys rake in their profits and natural resources.
You should see what happens when political tribalism takes place in the United States.
Strong emotions and financial strain with the working class at an all-time high, disdain towards other groups, and fights break out.
Assassination attempts and murder of activists and politicians due to disagreements.
I think it goes back to dividing the working class and keeping us entertained so we don’t pay attention to the status quo.
Sadly, not the only billionaire pushing for more surveillance.
Another big one is Peter Thiel.
“Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.
He added, “We sought commitments from both [former president Donald] Trump and [Vice President Kamala] Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members’ right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges.”
The Teamsters, which represents truck drivers, freight workers and others, held similar meetings with Trump and President Joe Biden when he was still seeking re-election.
On Wednesday, the union released the results of their survey, which was conducted after Biden dropped out of the race. It found that almost 60% of rank-and-file union members preferred to endorse Trump, while 34% backed Harris, according to an electronic member poll. A phone poll indicated similar margins, with 58% supporting Trump and 31% supporting Harris.
“While the Teamsters Executive Board is making no formal endorsement, the hardworking members of the Teamsters have been loud and clear— they want President Trump back in the White House!” said campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “These hardworking men and women are the backbone of America and President Trump will strongly stand up for them when he’s back in the White House.”[1]
Forgot about Obama…
Kamala is Hillary Clinton 2.0, a status quo warmonger, and does the bidding of the owner-class, like all of the politicians in the duopoly.
No need, it just didn’t do well.
It happens to those that try.
Take back the means of production…
Where have I heard that before, hahaha
