Yes. Agreed. That is what this portal is designed to enable.

This catalog is meant to assist in identifying which Glaciers need ground level monitoring. Community involvement is essential in analysing and parsing the catalog on this site.

This was launched a week before the Nepal floods.

Nepal-Tibet floods, which has killed more than 200 people on Aug 26, is neither a Cloud Burst nor a Flash Flood. It is a Glacier melt related flood.

63,000+ Glaciers are now being tracked. 766 Glacier Lake Outburst Floods are analysed.

Dad of 2 under 5: would be curious to know if there has been a change in the role of grandparents and especially how parents (particularly Mums’) desire to get along with grandparents (in-laws) and what role is that playing in the increase in the ‘mental load’ and the stressful part of Mums’ parenting.

Can a good part of the mental load be attributed to the need for the parents to ‘do it all’ themselves rather than share the load and responsibility with other loved ones and caregivers without the need to tightly control all aspects of parenting?

On a separate note - Insta is constantly feeding my wife with versions of parenting which is completely unattainable. That really is at the heart of the mental load we are experiencing in our situation of raising two under five. If only Insta was banned, life would have been far more better for parents.

We have 40 email accounts on our custom domain and pay $0 per month for both sending & receiving emails on our custom domain.

We have very simple tech for that. We use the free email forwarding option from our domain provider. This allows us to receive emails sent to our custom domain. To send emails we use the free sendgrid SMTP servers configured for that same custom domain email account in our forwarded email account.

Maybe not the most elegant solution, but we can run upto 100 free custom domain email accounts using this.

Having lost a loved one recently, I can say that never ever underestimate the effect of sharing grief with the family in-person. Just drop into Pete's home in Scotland and spend an evening with his family & loved ones. They must all be deeply in grief and your physical presence to talk to them about Pete would mean the world to them.

We have a banking website which refuses to login when I connect on the 5G Wifi but allows me to login when I connect on the regular 802.11 WiFi (non-5G mode). How does the website login know which WiFi speed am I connecting on?

"Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, beginning January 1, 2020, among other things, grants a consumer a right to request a business to disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that it collects about the consumer, the categories of sources from which that information is collected, the business purposes for collecting or selling the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information is shared."

The new law requires companies to tell us who are they sharing our personal information with. Applying common sense law -- this sounds like anyone who sells my personal information to a third party with whom I'm not having a direct relationship - that gets covered.

The Ad I see on the top of my search query seems based on personal information that was sold to a third party.

Google is aggregating search queries. And they are selling my search query to the highest bidder with whom I'm not having a direct relationship. That sounds like a search broker to me.
