These look to me like regular intrusive iron rich veins. Boulder is about 1m across, and sandstone/mudstone, area is volcanic.

I am not a geologist.. any ideas?

As someone from outside the US, it always gives me a giggle seeing the democrats described anything left of centre, especially communist.

I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view

What he really means is that he only wants to hear about one slice of a political view, or he doesn't understand that climate change is a political subject too.

"I...understand that when you are president you have to be more careful."

Come on now, surely you just have to not kiss people when you shouldn't. It makes it sound like he's saying it would have been totally fine if he'd done it off camera.

Men in positions of power must take the lead in tackling toxic masculinity, which is a root cause of gender-based abuse, Scotland’s first minister has said.

Writing for the Guardian, Humza Yousaf said: “It is simply not good enough to say ‘it is not all men’ and wash our hands of the problem we have collectively created; every single man can, and should, play his role in making change.”

Yousaf said his growing awareness had caused him to reflect on his own behaviour. “Without doubt, in my younger years I will have told a misogynistic joke at the expense of women, or not challenged behaviour that was demeaning to women.”

He said becoming a father to two daughters, as well as witnessing global regression in women’s rights, for example on abortion in the US and education in Afghanistan, had made him determined to use his position to “root out and tackle the toxic masculinity and male self-entitlement that leads to violence, harassment, misogyny and abuse against women”.

Yousaf, who has faced a series of challenges since he replaced Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader in March, including the ongoing investigation into party finances in which Sturgeon was arrested, a toxic confrontation with Westminster over gender recognition reform, a byelection in Rutherglen against a resurgent Scottish Labour and a festering row among MSPs about their governing alliance with the Scottish Greens, said he wanted Scotland to show “global leadership”.

He has pledged to continue the work of the Barack Obama-inspired National Council for Women and Girls set up by his predecessor and appointed a gender-balanced cabinet as Sturgeon did.

“There is a great opportunity for all men in positions of influence to demonstrate real leadership on this hugely important issue,” he said. “Whether in politics, in the office, on the work site, in school, the pub or our own living rooms, we can all do more as men to challenge problematic behaviour among our friends, colleagues and family members.”

He said “finger wagging is not the answer”, insisting it was crucial to understand why thousands of young men and boys in Scotland were attracted to celebrity misogynists such as Andrew Tate.

“As men, we must listen, we must learn but we also must demonstrate what a positive male identity looks like to our young boys and to other men,” Yousaf said.

Even the demolition contractor, whose digger was actually booked before the pub caught fire, is embarrassed.

I didn't know that part. Shocking.

The one year out of med school doc:

spoilerBasic £30k, with overtime and deductions, £37000

The speciality registrar:

spoilerBasic £58k, but less than that as they aren't full time?

This story could have been a lot clearer.

I'm not sure "utopia" is the correct word for what this plan was about, at least not for anyone but Henry Ford.

Bayern had hoped to agree a deal for the England skipper but it is understood the two sides remain apart in their valuation of the 30-year-old.

The Bundesliga champions had suggested if their bid for Kane was unsuccessful on this occasion they would move on to other transfer targets.

However, with over three weeks of the transfer window left, it remains to be seen whether that is the case.

Sync makes Lemmy feel like a better version of Reddit, or an old school version of Reddit. It's great for Lemmy and old Reddit users.

On the bright side for them, they still have a commercial monopoly. The number of ads might go up while the quality of the content goes down.

I think it's all had a bigger impact on Lemmy than it has had on Reddit. The lasting impact might be that Reddit now has viable competition for the first time since Digg, which is a good thing.

Wither GDPR applies to an individual instance will be up to those running the instance to decide.

If you decide it does, then you need to do a few things. Number one is read up advice on compliance with GDPR.

Being able to delete data alone doesn't mean GDPR compliance. I'm thinking about the need for privacy notices on sign up, retention schedules for data, lawful basis of processing, records of processing activities.. Data subjects have numerous rights, which apply depend on the lawful basis you're processing under.

I'd suggest that larger general instances might want to read up more urgently than smaller single focus "hobby" instances.

edit: more I think about this, I think there is an moral responsibility for the developers to help those running instances comply. If GDPR does not apply to an instance, it is still good practice to allow uses to delete their data, etc.. Also, art. 20 of GDPR is the right to portability. Interesting to see how this applies to fediverse platforms like Lemmy.
