Oh, would you look at that! Someone's been here before me and replaced with of these with a standard 7-segment. I'm pondering on borrowing two working segments from the 2-digit credit display and worrying about replacing them later when I can source some 7-segments that'll fit here.

FOR WANT OF A NAIL
Why are (new) UK houses so expensive but so badly built?
Well the simple answer is that around 70% of the value of the average house is in the land.
So no wonder they seem cheaply & badly made for the price; they are.
What this does suggest is that finding a way to massage down land prices over time would be the best way to slowly unwind the house price crisis along with a programme of both new houses where they are needed & bringing empty homes back into use.
Certainly a necessary aspect of dealing with the housing crisis but not (I think) sufficient
Taxing housebuilders properly on their banked land would be a start.
They are however also very badly built because there is a massive shortage of labour (skilled or even slightly competent). That means the building companies will take pretty much anyone however dodgy their work is.
There's also another answer to some of it - we in the UK are really good at building portakabin villages for construction work. One or two councils are playing with this for emergency housing now

Google’s $45 Million Contract With Netanyahu’s Office to Spread Israeli #Propaganda
Israel’s advertising bureau, which reports to the prime minister’s office, has embarked on a mass advertising and public messaging effort to conceal the hunger crisis. The push includes a high-dollar spending spree on paid advertising, yielding tens of millions for #Google, #YouTube, #X, #Meta, and other tech platforms.
“There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie,” asserted a propaganda video published by the #Israel foreign ministry to Google’s YouTube video platform and viewed more than 6 million times. Much of the video’s reach results from an ad placed during an ongoing and previously unreported $45M advertising campaign initiated between Google and Netanyahu’s office in June.
At least 367 Palestinians, including 131 children, have died as a result of hunger and malnutrition since the war began.

Oh great, another newcomer asserting that fascism can be abolished through electoral means. As if electoralism changes anything, only the proletariat, through collective class struggle and revolutionary self-emancipation, can genuinely overthrow the capitalist system that sustains fascist and oppressive conditions.

Between "boosts" and "favorites" Mastodon now shows the number of "quote" posts.
Is this new functionality to be rolled out? And is there any information on how to block or control this (as abuse via the badly implemented quote system is one of the things I disliked about Twitter).

Make Hitler Great Again
Trump's agenda out in the open (as if it ever wasn't).
Germany has been notably silent on US domestic politics, it's worth observing, whereas I'd doubt the reverse is true (substitute 'Western Europe' for 'Germany' if you like - works just as well).
Why might that be?
