I wonder whether either of them can also be used as water collector by adding a fine wire mesh where moisture can condensate and drops into a basin for household use.
Such wire mesh water collectors have test installations on Portugals islands and somewhere in Tunesia or Morocco, places where fog or at least moisture in the air is a typical landscape feature.

But let's also remember: we in the rich countries don't have a budget left at all for built infrastructure. For fighting poverty, only poorer countries can still add built infrastructure.
By rights, we actually need to dismantle our office towers (full of workers in bullshit jobs, according to David Graeber) , univs, roads and hospitals, and send the material to G-South in order to give their populations a chance to come level with our wealth.

190 - #OpenSource Software Communities and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

I recently was at a workshop that wanted to tackle diversity, equity and inclusion within an open source software community. One thing that stood out to me was this consistent, underlying assumption that the open source research software community was somehow different than other communities.

The surveys keep telling us that majority want to do something about #climatechange

Time to put your money where your mouth is - #China has brought down the cost. Buy/install #solar #batteries #heatpumps etc. at cost to actually show you do care.

#Democrat states/cities enact new taxes to subsidize poor customers. After all the #wealthy got their tax cut right?

I have so many stories of subtle racism and they just keep happening. I talk to non-white women and these stories keep on getting told.

I can't talk about them directly but I had heard of two experiences one in a university environment and one in a not-for-profit that are highly disappointing but not surprising or shocking at all.

This is why I wrote Not the Only One, to showcase that this happens ALL THE TIME.

T-Mobile said in a July 8 letter to the FCC that it would end its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance.”

Editor’s Note: Shame, hate, fear –just like with Hitler– Trump’s racism attacking diversity, equity, inclusion in corporations, universities, our very lives.
