There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it'd improve the environment.

His name was Allan Savory.

Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.

Any advice for cities facing the increasing threat of floods? I live on the floodplain in my city, and it has given me a tinge of anxiety whenever it rains rather hard in my neighbourhood.

If the mods of /r/AMA wanted to help out, how would you integrate them with this community's team?

Any health tips?

No sick days is pretty impressive.

Archive.org, one of my favourite websites, has been targetted by litigation.

What do you feel will happen to this website in the years and decades ahead? And what will happen to digital archiving should the site be eliminated from the web?

Q: Why are enclosed spaces dangerous? And why would someone need specialized training to work in those areas?

Ah, it feels like home already.

Ah!

You have two options:

I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (... and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.

I'm still grieving the Reddit that was.

Now, I'm excited for the threadiverse that could be.

Awww, man.

Now I'm sad.

Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
