"The brilliance in Wattersonโ€™s writing was to avoid turning her into simply a straight character or an annoying shrew, but creating a real foil the reader can also sympathize with. Girls like Susie can be wonderful additions to a society, and can also create the most repressive longhouse known to man when surrounded with like-minded people, where it becomes a battle to who can conform to authority the most for a pat on the head."

"Susie has more of the qualities modern culture desires. She is an obsessive rule-follower, academic, follows all the social mores, and has aspirations to enter a respectable profession. Her only wish is to fit into the current mold of wider society. In the future, she will be a useful, though unimaginative cog in the wider culture. In itself, there is nothing wrong with this, and people like this often act like the glue that makes a community function. She's a genuinely caring person who simply wants to fit into the society she finds herself in. If she lived in a bizarro world where children got accolades in creating the perfect snowball, having the most overactive imagination, or knowing all there is to know about dinosaurs, she would spend her time trying to out-Calvin Calvin. She would never surpass Calvin, of course, since Susie relies on outside accolades to find her way, while for Calvin itโ€™s in his veins."

๐Ÿšจ USS Gerald R. Ford โ€˜out of actionโ€™ โ€” ex-Indian general

The Iran war is effectively over for the damaged USS Gerald R. Ford, the worldโ€™s largest aircraft carrier, retired Indian Major General Gagan Deep Bakshi said.

๐Ÿช– The warship is โ€œout of the combat areaโ€ and will soon head back to the US, he added โ€” meaning the carrierโ€™s 70 deck-based fighter jets are effectively sidelined.

๐Ÿ‘‰ At least 600 sailors were earlier relocated after a fire broke out in a laundry area of the $13 billion carrier. The blaze was not combat-related, according to US officials.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ US interceptor stockpiles being depleted by Iran war, could take years to replenish

The Payne Institute estimates that the war has consumed about a third of the THAAD missile stockpile, whose annual production rate does not exceed about 100

A new US Congress study published last week on the THAAD ballistic missile interception system shed worrying light on the inventory of interceptors available to the US in the near future.

The document says, "There is concern that the rate of use of THAAD interceptors during Operation Epic Fury has further reduced the limited stock of interceptors."

Despite the problematic reputation that the THAAD system has acquired for itself over the past few years, during which it was deployed in the Middle East, Congress claims that the interception rate of the US system reaches about 90% of all Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, with an emphasis on the UAE, a comparable rate to the Arrow 3, the Israel-US jointly developed system, used exclusively by the IDF.

The study also found that half of all interceptions used to defend Israeli skies in the operation against Iran in June were made by the THAAD system - ninety-two interceptions in total out of an estimated supply of 632 interceptors, and added it would take many years before the stockpile of interceptors could be fully replenished.

"It could take three to eight years to replenish the THAAD missile stockpile, each of which costs an estimated $12.7 million." The Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), which provided some of the materials to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), found that the first days of the current US Operation Epic Fury were more intensive than the opening of any other air campaign in the history of the US military, with 5,197 munitions across 35 types carrying a munitions-only replacement bill of $10 - $16 billion in four days.

This may be a joke but it is completely true.

In case you find yourself arguing on the internet, remember there are entities that can work through people, and it's not even about the conversation itself, but energy being pulled from you.

Guard your energy.

TIL Future president Grover Cleveland paid $150 for an immigrant, George Brinski, to serve in his place during the Civil War. An injury suffered in the service made it difficult for Brinski to work. In 1885 he appealed to Cleveland for help, but he refused. Brinski died penniless two years later.
