@npub1zdp…vqv8 I propose, in memory of "Ask Jeeves", an "Ask Bertie" search engine. Never knows anything important, just random cricket stats and minor nobility gossip, but willing to speculate charmingly about whatever you ask.

Now I am imagining a sort of low-
Earth orbit Wall-E puttering around in all the floating space junk, laser-cutting off chunks, and crushing them into bricks to build an orbiting tower.

"Conservationists aimed to limit threats from humans, including hunting trapping and road casualties, by sharing news of the Iberian lynx’s extinction risks to local hunting groups, in newspapers and later, on social media, López said. To dissuade farmers from trapping the cats, they were compensated if Iberian lynx killed their livestock."
Spain and Portugal getting it right, again.

What if we called it ocean de-acidification?
We've all heard about acidification damaging corals.
