Maybe a few of these groups can set up here, and or on peertube so they can share creations on the Fediverse, if a few join others may follow, adding to the cultural diversity here, but also helping this grow.

Mainstream social media is dominated by big players (which is understandable) there is a chance here for smaller players from different parts of the world to get a foothold and more of a following.

Indie music is pretty white-bread so its interesting to read about similar musical movements overseas...

But fandom, and cultural memory, survives against increasing odds." fiftytwo.in/story/dear-neighbo

This one hurts.
Pelé is THE Brazilian player for me, the first I idolised for sure, he played a tournament match in Nigeria and briefly stopped the civil war there, an icon and true king he played football beautifully.

Rest in power.

If you have a Chromebook that no longer receives updates, there's a solution for you! With the ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script: mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript, you can turn your Chromebook into a regular laptop and install ChromeOS Flex on it. I did this with my HP Chromebook 14 and it worked like a charm! #chromebook #chromeos #flex #mrchromebox

Nicous aka YK Lyrical died on Christmas day. He was being held at Bordeaux prison and it sounds like he was beaten unconscious and left in a cell on Christmas eve. One correctional officer who was involved has already been temporarily relieved.

There is a vigil for him Friday the 30th in Benny Park in NDG. 6445 Monkland Ave. 5:45pm

You can include multiple .tex files in one with an include statement,

The main file is set out as normal, e.g preamble and begin and end document statements

the included files just have the required text and latex code e.g \chapter{title}

\include{Team}

The first line of team.tex for me contains

\chapter{The Team}
\index{Team}

The advantage with this is that you can reorder the includes and reorder the final document chapters

You are welcome

May want to look at the Beatles Eight days a week film, they refused to play in I think it was Jacksonville due to segregation, In fact I think it was part of a contract that segregated stadia would not be played at, this was 1964

The stadium was desegregated nd the Beatles played, so it shows that the policy could be reversed even back then.

Scene in same films show public toilets labelled Men women Blacks

Very striking esp from the UK, but really illustrates what life was like back then.

What is the scientific word for a Fluid or semi-Fluid that holds its bead when put on a surface. Think ketchup. You could write with it, and the ketchup would mostly hold its location and height.

Is this viscosity also? Or is there a word for the vertical strength of a liquid/gel

#hydrodynamics #science #engineering #liquid #gel #viscous #viscosity

@russell I am not sure, but if you perhaps wrote a style to do this, then maybe yes.

Can anyone from help with please ?

It is essential that history is never forgotton or re-written as not to upset people. I don't see 1986 as 'old', to me that is recent, even the holocaust in the 1930s and 1940's may be a long time ago (before my time), the people alive at the time are getting less and less, doesn't mean that when there is no longer anyone alive who remembers, that we just stop telling or discussing what happened.

Please keep sharing.

This is what disappears on 1st Jan 2024:

— equal pay for women
— holiday pay
— agency worker rights
— data protection rights
— protections of TUPE
— consultation when redundancies are proposed
— paid maternity and parental leave
— part-time and fixed-term protections
— rest breaks
— max working hours
— night worker protections
— rights on the insolvency of an employer and more

You won’t even have the right to a written statement of job terms and conditions

We have to #GTTO before then!

Manual checks are still useful for when the electronic system fails.

Oddly the same thing seems to happen here, Once laws ahve passed throigh due process in the Commons and Lords, they are passed to the Monarch who signs them. (part of the role of a constitutional monarch)

This seems to be done behind closed doors though.

Did you know that Biden signed 65 pieces of legislation into law this week? If you didn’t, it’s worth asking why the media you listen to didn’t tell you that. #politics #media #bidenwins
