Logitech warns of logistical impact of Houthi attacks in Red Sea Logitech reckons the conflict in the Red Sea where Houthi rebels are attacking container ships will add some delays to logistics and potentially some cost too. The keyboard and mouse maker is just getting its channel stock closer to normal levels following the roller coaster ride during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic …
Except that in my experience, their stuff (at least the stuff they make that I'm interested in buying) is actually pretty keenly priced even when compared against the massed ranks of all those seemingly randomly named suppliers all selling what look like the same models of mice, keyboards etc., AND it's also pretty decent to use on a daily basis over extended periods of time.
1,200 Israelis were not kidnapped; about 300 were. 1,200 is closer to the number who were murdered, raped, and/or tortured.
I also get the impression the Houthis are upset about the more than 24,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, but maybe I’m attributing more human sympathy to the bloodthirsty religious minority who have made life so miserable for the people of Yemen for years.
Well, according to some of the earliest reports, Hamas had beheaded 40 babies. Then when people started asking questions, the "40 beheaded babies" vanished into thin air. Also according to earliest reports, Hamas had killed 1400 Israelis. Fast forward a couple of weeks or so, and mysteriously, without any explanation, Hamas has killed 1200 Israelis. Apparently 200 of those Israelis who Hamas had apparently killed were actually Hamas fighters themselves ... meanwhile there are some very, very angry Israelis wanting to know about an IDF tank unit that fired into a Kibbutz Be'eri house where some Hamas fighters and their detainees, relatives of the angry Israelis, were holed up. So unless the IDF has been enlisting Hamas fighters into their tank units, we can safely say those Israelis were not killed by Hamas, but by the IDF. And again, other people have brought up the act that those 200 Hamas fighters were so badly burnt that at first they could not be identified, and have pointed out that the IDF Apache strike helicopter units were in action on the day, and while assault rifles do not have the general effect of burning someone alive so badly they cannot be identified, 30cm explosive rounds fired into groups of people will do the trick.
The difficulty is the number of News Agencies containing people who can't count. And state officials who can't tell the truth.

I reckon we can forget the Suez canal as a reliable transport route from now on - the Ukrainians have shown the world what can be done with seagoing drones that can carry a payload of hundreds of kg, so anybody capable of building and launching such things could pretty much shut down the Red Sea for shipping. The Iranians for example.
Doesn't the Suez represent a third or something of the Egyptian govt's revenue? They may be trouble ahead.
Meanwhile I had been wondering about which things come by air and which by sea - was quoted about 3 weeks' delivery on some little AliExpress bits I'm expecting/
