At the start of the year, Iran only had four S300 surface-to-air missile systems. In April, Israel took out one of the missile systems in response to Iran's first ballistic missile attack. A senior U.S. official confirmed the airstrikes took out the three S-300 missile systems.

Don't expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you're going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.

If the position of the charging port on the Magic Mouse isn't the questionable design choice it's been called, the New Mac mini power button might be. As pointedly not shown by Apple in its launch video or new ad — the Mac mini power button is underneath the device.

As can be seen on the online store's page for the new M4 Mac mini, the button is not on the very base of the model. It is, though, underneath it, raised off the ground only by the cooling vent.

Another banger design choice from Steve Tim Apple

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) --- Taiwanese American drag queen and "RuPaul's Drag Race" winner Nymphia Wind (妮妃雅) has endorsed Kamala Harris for president ahead of this November's election.

Nymphia, who made history this year as the first East Asian American to win "RuPaul's Drag Race," announced her endorsement of the Harris-Walz presidential ticket in a video released by Taiwanese Americans for Harris in October.

"If you believe that LGBTQ folks deserve to be treated equally, then vote for Harris and Walz," Nymphia urged in the video. She also shared her personal story of being bullied as a child due to her sexual orientation, highlighting Governor Tim Walz's early advocacy for LGBTQ equality.

"As someone who was bullied as a kid, it was so touching how Coach Walz initiated the first queer student club, decades before marriage equality became the law of the land," she said, also noting his support for banning conversion therapy, a cause she holds dear.

Nymphia emphasized, "Taiwan needs an ever-inclusive America in protecting Taiwanese sovereignty and ensuring that our democracy, freedom, and equality can continue to shine."

This is the person falsely texting people that they already voted

Thousands of Pennsylvania voters received a text message this weekend that falsely claimed that they had already voted in the Nov. 5 election.

"Records show you voted," the text read, linking them to an official Pennsylvania website with information about polling places and early voting.

But the message did not come from an official government resource or a well-known get-out-the-vote advocacy group. Instead, it was signed by "AllVote," a self-proclaimed voter-mobilization program that election officials have repeatedly flagged as a scam to be avoided and ignored.

If "AllVote" sounds familiar, the name has been linked to other confusion-sowing text campaigns in the lead-up to the election. Montgomery County officials in August warned voters about "AllVote.com" that was texting registered voters and falsely claiming that they were not registered to vote — part of a scam to "capture personal, sensitive information from voters in an attempt to exploit them later on," election commissioners said.

Sounds credible and very good faith

Charlotte Clymer, a contracted spokesperson for AllVote, sent The Inquirer an apologetic statement, describing the texts as a well-intended reminder-turned-disastrous mistake, thanks to a typo committed by staffers.

"We are mortified by this mistake and the confusion it has caused," the organization said in the statement.

The organization would not say how many voters were sent the erroneous text.

Clymer described AllVote as "funded by progressive donors aiming to increase voting participation" but declined to provide details about the group's backers. A political action committee with that name was registered this year. Yet little public information is available about AllVote, and its website lists no founder or staffers.

Clymer said the organization does not disclose its backers for fear of being targeted by the far-right. She also said that election officials and news reports that issued statements characterizing their recent efforts as phishing scams were incorrect.

Dear How to Do It,

I'm a 26-year-old, bisexual, cisgender man whose sexual experience has been mostly with men. I've been dating "Sam" for almost six months. Sam is the first trans man I've been with and the first person I've had complete peepee-in-vagina s*x with. At first, we seemed really sexually compatible, but as we've gotten more comfortable, Sam has opened up about some kinks of his.

Sam likes to pretend to be going into heat like a dog, and wants me to pretend to be an "alpha" male who is uncontrollably attracted to his smell and takes him as his conscious mind says no. I'm cool with the consensual non-consent aspect and even into it. The bestiality aspect weirded me out at first, but Sam assures me he is not sexually attracted to actual dogs, and anyway, neither of us has a dog. What I really don't love is that Sam persistently refers to this as "breeding." He begs me to "breed" him right as we're going for it and talks about how he's been "bred" afterward.

Even though it's obviously all a fantasy, it is really not for me. I 1000% do not ever want to be a father. I find pregnancy to be severely gross and unsexy. I'm not going to barf if I see a pregnant person out in public, but I don't want it to be any part of my s*x life aside from preventing it. If I'm not able to tune this out sufficiently, just the thought will sometimes make me go soft. Should I continue to try to be accommodating of this kink? Is there anything that could help make it less disturbing to me? Or would it be OK to ask Sam to keep the impregnation part of his fantasies to himself?

—No Pups Please

Dear No Pups,

I can't know for sure what could help make a breeding kink less disturbing to you, nor do I know what compromises might work for Sam, but the two of you should be able to have a conversation about this. It is absolutely OK to approach Sam and tell him that you're experiencing a squick (an uncomfortable and visceral reaction to a kink you're being asked to engage in). S*x should be fun for both partners, and if you're feeling disgusted about one part of what the two of you do together, you should be able to ask your partner for help navigating it or negotiate a way to avoid it.

Unless Sam has had his uterus or ovaries removed, or is using birth control, the risk of pregnancy looms in the background so you might use condoms to greatly reduce that risk. Reducing a real risk of pregnancy might make his breeding kink easier to bear. You also might consider a vasectomy, as you're certain you don't want to be a father, which could take some of the weight off of this dynamic with Sam and also any future partners you might have peepee-in-vagina s*x with. But if the two of you can't come up with ways to make the talk of breeding tolerable for you, it is more than acceptable to request that Sam refrain from vocalizing it. You can ask Sam to keep those fantasies to himself.

"Over the past few days, the western lowland gorilla has shown concerning health symptoms suggesting he may be experiencing significant heart issues."

"At 52, Charles is geriatric, and his advanced age is a true testament to the outstanding care he has received at your Toronto Zoo since he arrived more than 50 years ago. Western lowland gorillas typically live between 30 and 40 years of age in the wild."
