Now everyone knows everything about everyone!
Fun fact: my dad was hired as a data protection specialist by a small local (albeit modern-tech) sewage plant. Allegedly they could spot a drug user by home address. We've got your shite covered! ;D

Apropos cat litter, did you know that cats made us develop the clay litter to reduce their carbon footprint and reveal the green-gas reduction potential of zeolite? https://gizmodo.com/zeolite-convert-met ... 1848931401
I have my own only true theory of the universe and beyond proving that cats are angels who engineered the world (in religious arts they are depicted as humans with wings, because they've been mistakenly anthropomorphised and usually spotted while hunting birds). I secretly wrote a book about it.

A long time ago I worked in the pipeline business. Once while in the Empty Quarter of Oman I wrote a manuscript on Waterhammer flow based on a software system for City Heating I worked on in NL. It might make a comeback to wean people off natural gas.
The app is just a network with a hyperbolic PDE in each pipe, a NordStream 1.0 if you will.

It's a 2X2 system

A precious resource: how Israel uses water to control the West Bank

In occupied West Bank villages, Israeli-owned farms are flourishing, while Palestinians often do not have enough water to drink

It's a crime against humanity in open view.

I think the story is that Palestinians are limited in drilling wells to 72 feet deep ... which I know would be considered ridiculously shallow in water-rich Maryland let alone in the Levant.

And there are hints in news stories about other things: in articles on the hardships of Palestinians, there is often mentioned widespread kidney disease and a need for dialysis; and very often in a story about an Israeli military incursion into the Occupied Territories, it will mention some water infrastructure having been destroyed during the operation.

It's intentional.
I wonder how many Israelis sleep with a clear conscience.
