General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I struggled massively with the abstract nature of maths at school for several years - oddly, it was our art lessons that fixed it all in my case.

We started looking at (and practicing doing) geometric abstract painting, and suddenly all the maths abstraction made sense when I could think of it visually. Changed me from a "D" student to an "A" student.

Use maths all the time at work and in life these days. Love a bit of maths - thanks to our art teachers :)
