With only 500 letters to play with, I commend this summary from Monbiot.
Successive UK governments have sought to control and suppress protest, increasingly so as an ability to communicate without relying on commercial and state media has developed. ‘Our’ maladministration is not only continuing the trend but attempting to accelerate it. Blurring the lines between terrorism and protest is a means to an end.
The home secretary is apparently an admirer of the suffragettes. I have no doubt that if they were active today she would proscribe them, too, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
A charity shop near us always does brilliant creative window displays. They often make really ingenious dresses from all sorts of materials; fabric, plastic, paper etc. They've gone for a mermaid inspired theme this time. 😊🧜♂️
If you create an electoral system that turns every vote into a question of "do you hate this guy or fear this guy more?", please do not act surprised when a very large number of people, after nearly a half-century of political games and theft from the public, are like "I hate both of them more than I fear either of them" and don't show up.
If you don't understand this, that's a *you* problem.
NO -
It's a you problem.
It's not my responsibility to fix your broken brain. Get to work.
Trump megabill gives the oil industry everything it wants and ends key support for solar and wind
"The law opens up federal lands and waters to oil and gas drilling [and] slashes the royalties that producers pay the government for pumping oil and gas on federal lands.
The coal industry is also a big winner from the law, which mandates at least 4 million additional acres of federal land be made available for mining."

"Buyers have until Sept. 30 to qualify for the federal tax credits on EVs [and plug-in hybrids] before they are terminated. But experts say there are still strong financial reasons to consider buying the vehicles even without those incentives."

"The economist and statistician E.F. Schumacher did not know what, exactly, would cause “society’s collapse.” But, he said, “I do know that a society which seeks fulfillment only in mindless material expansion does not fit into this world for long. There simply is no place for infinite growth on a finite planet.” He delivered that grim assertion in 1974"

Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) — The Korean Central News Agency Thursday released a report on the wonderful completion of Korean-style coastal tourist city, a cultural resort of the people, in Myongsasimni, a scenic spot in the east coast.
Many in the US got a propaganda message from the Social Security Administration last night. It says, "The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy." That sounds great, but I haven't seen any fact-checking on this email, and it seems that there will be zero benefit for the majority.

"There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of Monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required. The state of a king shuts him from the World, yet the business of a king requires him to know it thoroughly; wherefore the different parts, by unnaturally opposing and destroying each other, prove the whole character to be absurd and useless." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense

You would need a soldering iron and a solder sucker or solder wick to remove the defective one, then soldering iron and solder to install the replacement.
I think it depends on how desperate you are to fix, and how hard it is to source an appropriate part. Odds original was pushing the current to the limit *and* that the limit has no buffer is low IMO
Just so you know where my skill level is for #soldering repairs… I probably spent longer than any ration people trying to de-solder the relay and wondering why nothing was reaching temperature UNTIL i decide to snip off the relay that was absorbing all the heat.
My dinky soldering gun was a probably a contributing factor.
I need a soldering bootcamp with hands on experience with real tools.
If it helps - I’ve got a blog post on my site about getting started with soldering containing my recommendations on tools and videos to learn (been soldering for several years both as a part of my job and on hobby projects).

Brazil’s #COP30 chief André Corrêa do Lago insists that ramping up oil and gas production is perfectly compatible with fighting climate change, because, apparently, fossil fuels and global warming are best friends now.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s state oil giant Petrobras is planning one of the world’s biggest oil production surges.
How better to showcase climate leadership than by doubling down on oil drilling.

Mayor Wu kicked off her extended Fourth of July weekend not by addressing payroll chaos at City Hall — but by blasting Donald Trump.
In a sharply worded statement released Thursday, Wu denounced Trump’s “so-called Big Beautiful Bill,” accusing him of targeting Boston families while giving “massive tax cuts to billionaires.”
Wu specifically framed the bill as a threat to her climate agenda, warning that Trump’s plan would gut clean energy programs that are “powering the region’s economy.”
City of Boston Employees Left Without Pay on July 4th Weekend
Mayor Wu’s Trump statement came just hours before the City shut down for the long weekend — and with paychecks missing, her critics say she appeared more focused on national headlines than local responsibility.
"Wu specifically framed the bill as a threat to her [graft], warning that Trump’s plan would gut [money laundering schemes] that are [feeding our criminal enterprise]"
A breeding-age female only has a few things to offer: looks, character and an unused vagina.
If she lets rando men splooge in her, because in the final analysis, boyfriends are merely rando men, long after females grow up, she becomes akin to a low-value, used car.
A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way.
If you believe it is fine to swive rando guys until the right one comes along, then you are forced to believe that a female working as a prostitute or in porn like Bonnie Blue or Lily Philips swiving 101 men in 24 hours is equally fine, the same, and an option for oneself or one's daughters or granddaughters.
A difference in degree does not create a difference in kind.
Defendant: "But I only robbed one time. My co-defendants robbed many times before." Judge: "A difference in degree does not create a difference in kind."
"A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way."
we have a collection of value judgements here, which rely, among other defects, on circular logic.
e.g. - "esteems herself", as if having rando sex implied or necessitated a lack of self-esteem which also relies on the very shaky meaning of self esteem. - "self-development" need not contradict either rando sex or prostitution,
Nick Fuentes of America First likes the Big Beautiful Bill because it contains $150 billion for border security and to build a wall between us and Mexico.
But there is one thing no one is talking about: Trump had to do a Backroom Deal to get the bill passed: He agreed to Amnesty for millions of illegal alien workers.
Fuentes explains what happened beginning at 4:20:31 of this video.
