It's worse still: All this refers to a relatively benign section near the start of the speech, but the malevolent words are at the end. The 54 minute gap thing is a deliberate red herring. The call to fight like hell" and the call to walk to the capitol are 4 sentences apart in the closing remarks:
I think one of our great achievements will be election security. Because nobody until I came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9 o'clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life. But I said something's wrong here, something is really wrong, can have happened. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. And I say this despite all that's happened. The best is yet to come. So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give. The Democrats are hopeless — they never vote for anything. Not even one vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I want to thank you all. God bless you and God Bless America. Thank you all for being here. This is incredible. Thank you very much. Thank you.

The 54 minute gap thing is a red herring. Although the BBC clip used a phrase from early in the speech, the call to walk to the Capitol is also repeated in the closing remarks, adjacent to the call to "fight like hell". It is the account of the edit that is misleading.

Awesome! I watched the eclipse from the Potanin Glacier. On the 7th I was holding an eagle! Good memories.

I looked across to this peak from Nairamdal - the summit at the border tripoint between Mongolia, Russia and China on 3rd August 2008. Were you there for the eclipse on 1st August?

Swiss plugs have shutters too, but the Swiss design also has the advantage that it’s not possible to do what Tom does in your video at 0:45. And this strip is half the size of a UK 5 plug strip.

The UK is still generating most of its electricity from fossil fuels during anticyclonic conditions in winter when there is neither sun nor wind. Relatively little is imported. Is there a reason the UK is not already importing much more in such situations?
