New radar data indicates that Iranian missiles directly struck at least five "Israeli" military bases during the recent 12-day conflict, according to an analysis shared by US academics at Oregon State University with The Telegraph.

The strikes, which "Israeli" authorities have not publicly disclosed due to strict military censorship laws, reportedly involved six Iranian missiles hitting previously unreported sites across northern, central, and southern "Israel."

These targets included a major air base, an intelligence gathering center, and a logistics base.

Analysis from The Telegraph suggests that while most Iranian missiles were intercepted, the proportion breaking through "Israeli" air defenses steadily rose to about 16 percent by day seven of the conflict.

The Honda Acty is one of Japan’s most enduring and beloved kei trucks. Produced for over 40 years, the Acty has earned its place as a symbol of Honda’s commitment to innovation, simplicity, and everyday functionality. In this post, we take a deep dive into all four generations of the Honda Acty — examining how it evolved across decades, while staying true to its compact, practical roots.

🚙 1st Generation (1977–1988): The Pioneer
Chassis: TN Acty Truck / Van
Engine: 545cc 2-cylinder (EH engine)
Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive

The original Acty debuted in July 1977, replacing the Honda TN series. It was designed to meet kei-class regulations and prioritize space efficiency. The mid-mounted engine allowed for a flat cargo bed, maximizing utility.

Key Highlights:

Basic, durable, and purpose-built

Manual transmission only

Available in truck and van variants

Popular in farming and city delivery

⚙️ 2nd Generation (1988–1999): Power and Variety
Chassis Codes: HA1/HA2 (truck), HH1/HH2 (van)
Engine:

Early: 547cc E05A

Late: 656cc E07A (with ~38 hp)

The second generation introduced major improvements: more power, sharper styling, and drivetrain flexibility. For the first time, 4WD and automatic transmissions were available.

Special Editions:

Attack Model: Designed for off-roading; featured ultra-low gears and differential lock

Crawler: 6-wheeled variant for specialized terrain

Street: Passenger-friendly variant of the van

Why It Mattered:
This generation expanded the Acty’s reach — from farms to mountain towns and even international exports.

🛡️ 3rd Generation (1999–2009): Refinement and Comfort
Chassis Codes: HA6/HA7 (truck), HH5/HH6 (van)
Engine: 656cc E07Z (fuel-injected)

The 3rd-gen Acty was all about modernization without overcomplicating the formula. Honda introduced fuel injection, upgraded safety features, and improved noise insulation.

Key Features:

Power steering, airbags, ABS

Updated dashboard and improved ergonomics

Enhanced durability for commercial use

Available with real-time 4WD and 5-speed manual or 3-speed auto

It became more comfortable as a daily driver while still retaining its utilitarian edge.

🚧 4th Generation (2009–2021): Compact and Compliant
Chassis Codes: HA8 (2WD), HA9 (4WD)
Engine: 656cc E07Z (~44 hp)

The final Acty generation leaned into safety and compliance to meet evolving kei-class regulations. Though the platform stayed compact, it gained modern touches and improved ride quality.

Updates Included:

Dual front airbags

More compact wheelbase for urban maneuverability

2012 refresh with updated lights and styling

2018 “Spirit Colour Style” special edition (homage to Honda T360)

Production Ended: April 2021 — due to tightening regulations and cost constraints.

🧭 Comparing All Four Generations
Generation Years Engine Key Feature
1st Gen 1977–1988 545cc (2-cyl) Basic, tough, mid-engine design
2nd Gen 1988–1999 547cc → 656cc 4WD options, “Attack” & “Crawler” trims
3rd Gen 1999–2009 656cc E07Z Fuel injection, safety upgrades
4th Gen 2009–2021 656cc E07Z Compact wheelbase, airbags, modern feel

🔚 Final Thoughts
The Honda Acty’s four generations show how a humble kei truck can evolve without losing its soul. Each era brought something new:

The 1st was honest and mechanical,

The 2nd added versatility,

The 3rd improved daily usability,

The 4th modernized while keeping things simple.

Whether you're looking to import one, restore a classic, or just appreciate clever automotive engineering, the Acty delivers in all generations.

My first time capturing fireworks. I made some mistakes, and I think the biggest mistake I made was being married to 100 ISO, and bringing a tripod. Fortunately for me, I was sitting right at the position directly in front of the barge, so I was able to get good shots of lovely centered fireworks. In order to get my ideas right, I shot a bit underexposed, about -1.5EV, but I think it worked out, made it harder to edit though.

My opinions and beliefs about the state of the country and my status with in it as a minority aside, I saw an opportunity for photography practice, and growth in the field, and I took it.

Thank you for seeing my work!

Photographer Job Garcia, a US citizen, seeks recompense after reportedly being tackled and thrown to the ground

A US citizen is seeking $1m in recompense from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies after being arrested by officials last month when filming an immigration raid at a Home Depot store.

Job Garcia, a 37-year-old a photographer and PhD student at Claremont Graduate University, was tackled, thrown to the ground, arrested and detained for over 24 hours, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (Maldef) said. The advocacy group is representing Garcia.

The arrest of immigrants has escalated nationwide, notably at Home Depot sites, where undocumented laborers in particular gather in parking lots outside branches of the store chain, waiting to be picked up for casual work.

1. Can a mod add tags to someone else's post?
2. How many tags are possible and will be shown?
   I just started a movie community, with tags for actors etc already at ~30. Potentially that could increase to... hundreds? More?
   How many will display? Will it always display all of them or can it be hidden /drop down, like spoiler text? Perhaps partially, e.g. the top tags are shown by default but you have to click "Expand" to see the rest.
3. What about tags in places other than the Piefed tags entry field? E.g. in post body, comments etc. Are they... "recognized" / "effective"?
4. Dammit, I had one more, can't remember it now.
