I keep seeing these FB videos of kind folk opening a #Water tap a trickle for a thirsty #animal, usually a wandering #cat but its included #squirrels - this is clearly a good deed, but I'm curious about what part(s)of the world just have random potable water taps in the street like that for anyone to use?

Presumably hot countries and provided as a public good? (it wouldn't be as easy in Britain as the pipework would freeze during the winter) #infrastructure #StreetFurniture

This isn't a paid position unfortunately as it would be volunteer just as is running most every instance here in the Fediverse.

We'd like to hear from you if you think you could offer some help and would love to chat with you about our full plans and expectations.

I agree with you, Clara, regarding the predilections of #Erdogan. (Interesting, BTW, that you should use the official #Türkiye;))
#Iran could not conquer #Israel.

However, as we can see by its huge production of drones for the #Kremlin, it can cause havoc regarding the region's #infrastructure.
Also, I have read a bit about the technologies it employs (actually...

#PSA #Feditip #feditips #infrastructure #Mastodon #HowItWorks

Mastodon is built differently. Just like the birdsite, you won't see every toot in existence but the 'why' is different. On birdsite, an #algorithm decided. Here, it's your #social connections that truly, organically determine what you see.

It works because it gives you control over who you interact with, and the people you interact with shape the timelines of you and all your neighbors.

Doorfietsroutes, thru bike paths, are smoothly aligned regional connectors between cities. Fun for tourists. Essential for #climate adaptation.

Regional #infrastructure requires incredibly hard political and engineering cooperation.

#Utrecht Province already has 150km (93m) of a planned 1500km #doorfietsroutes system. #Netherlands built 146km just in 2023.

Biden administration puts $830M to helping protect #infrastructure from #climate-fueled #ExtremeWeather

"Most of the funding, $621 million, will go toward 36 projects aimed at bolstering the resilience of existing infrastructure through things like improving draining, moving roadways, and lifting up bridges.

An additional $119 million will go toward protecting, strengthening, or removing at-risk coastal infrastructure like highways."

“When we simplify complex systems, we destroy them”

[Rewilding is] a fundamentally cheerful and workmanlike approach to what can seem insoluble problems. It doesn’t micromanage. It creates room for “ecological processes [which] foster complex and self-organizing ecosystems.” Rewilding puts into practice what every good manager knows: hire the best people you can, provide what they need to thrive, then get out of […]
