Escalation rarely stays confined to one place.
The wider region is watching.
Gulf states are quietly recalibrating, strengthening defences and updating contingency plans.
Traders and markets are alert, and governments around the world are preparing for potential spillovers.
For ordinary people – in Tehran, in Beirut, in Gaza, in Tel Aviv, and increasingly across the Gulf – the cost is paid in uncertainty,

I tried multiple times soldering without proper board support and no luck.
I have only a 18×18 cm bottom heater, while the board is huge (~20 by ~25 cm), so i cant put the whole board on the heater, plus the ceramic part is bent.

Just finished "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. In an unusual twist of fate, I had read "Concrete Rose" earlier, which gave me a rich backstory to relate things to. "The Hate U Give" is really good, but I found the resolution of King's arc slightly disappointing, even though the ending was strong. It's definitely not my place to judge Thomas' perspective here, but I do think that the book's broad popularity including among more liberal audiences probably stems at least in part from the way it allows a "the cops have issues but are ultimately-necessary/sometimes-positive" reading that undermines the strength of the core message.
In the end I like Concrete Rose better, but they're both great and I'll be putting Thomas' other books on my to-read list.

Brad Marino's new (5th) LP 'Agent of Chaos' is a banger. Power pop, Ramones vibes all over the place. I hadn't heard of this guy. LOVING this one. Catchy as hell.
