Soldering advice pls

Getting a new iron.
The last I had was cheap basic Draper (30w I think)

2 problems: the tips kept disintegrating; the solder never got really hot and needed longer contact time to solder.

Someone said cold/low power iron could cause this. True?
Should I get a higher wattage?

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"

Just absolutely marvellous, I have admired Ron for many years now, I could so easily never play again as I'm not even in the same musical universe as him in terms of skill knowledge capability, but somehow he still inspires me to play & makes me happy, I feel honoured to witness this Honestly.

🗣️ Ultravox
🎶 Mr X

From a band yesterday that I had absolutely no trouble picking for, to one I'm spoilt for choice with.

My mum's favourite band in the world, and Mr X remains their tour de force creatively in MK2.

The rest of the Vienna album ain't half bad too...

Feeling unwell?

If you have COVID symptoms, TEST
If you test positive, ISOLATE
If you can’t test, MASK

Protect yourself and others (especially high-risk people) - it still matters!
