ENGIE has acquired UK Power Networks. Does this mean that the UK’s energy infrastructure is now more integrated with the EU than it was before Brexit?

Turning an old Amazon Kindle into a eink development platform
I fancied getting an eink screen to use for future projects. I bought a wee one with a raspberry pi “hat” attached. However, I realised later that I could maybe just re-purpose an old A…

Und damit niemand Zeit hat, sich das tatsächlich mal anzugucken, wird es auch gleich Mittwoch in den Bundestagsausschüssen durchgewinkt.

My latest calls included: “Fewer agents is not enough. More oversight is not enough. Demoting people is not enough. Destroy ICE and CBP. Wipe them out. Burn them, bury them, and salt the earth. Eradicate them like a cancer.”

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

As a chemist, I've been impressed by the improvements in environmental quality and related health benefits, thanks in large part to the EPA's diligence.
That is changing for the much worse:
The Environmental Protection Agency’s core mission is to protect human health and the environment. But in just one year, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has done the complete opposite. He has carried out the wishes of polluters and unleashed a destructive and dangerous agenda that guts pro…

Enough is enough. EPA’s Zeldin must go.
Use your voice and tell this administration that we deserve better than poisoned air and water, more cancer and asthma, and worsening climate disasters. We expect our elected leaders to protect our health, communities, and planet.
