A multi-billion-pound investment in a #Universal theme park and resort in #Bedford has been agreed, boosting the #UK economy and creating 28,000 jobs. Set to open in 2031, the park will feature immersive attractions and a 500-room hotel. It is expected to generate £50 billion by 2055 and attract 8.5 million visitors annually. The development will create jobs in construction, hospitality, and creative industries, with 80% of staff expected to come from local areas. The government will invest in infrastructure to support the project, including plans to improve the Oxford-Cambridge corridor. Universal’s first #European park will be part of a 476-acre resort, contributing to the UK’s growing creative industries. The deal is a key part of the government's Plan for Change, aiming to increase growth and opportunities across the country. The proposals are still subject to planning approval.

#Universal #healthcare and #education financing doesn't require the data that #Muskputin and his #DOUCHE minions are frantically deleting.

You're alive? You get care, you get educated, you get fed, you get housed, no bill for it. You're welcome.

"Department of Underaged Clowns Harming Everything" h/t to Andy Borowitz #DOGE

These stupid fuckwads are giving us exactly the ammunition we need to go full-on Free Everything for Everyone, once we take them to visit Madame Guillotine.

Just a brief #factoid to perhaps save other #electronics #hobbyists some time.

#BigClive frequently uses a particular type of crimp-contact-and-housing as a universal socket for LEDs and other leaded components. Not just any such connector will do; various #JST, "#Dupont", and others won't work, because they only grasp pins of one particular size and/or shape. If the lead is too big, it won't go in, and if it's too small, it won't stay in.

If you want to use these connectors - and note you can get the housings with more than 2 contacts, so you can use them for transistors or weirder things too - the magic search term is "KF2510".

The reason these work as universal sockets for leaded components is because the contact is a spring that pushes from only one side of the housing, pressing the inserted contact or lead against the far side of the housing, and therefore provides a friction fit for any size lead (within reason). Most crimp connectors instead have particular shapes for their contacts and will only "grab" something the right size and shape.
