Slovakosaurops - a new ichnogenus that does not exist! April Fool's, everyone! I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
Slovakia does have dinosaur footprints, just... not this one. :)

Lesson learned: Always triple-check your footprints.
I designed the footprints for the audio jacks from the datasheets.
Then, when the items arrived, I made sure the measurements were fine.
Now the boards arrived - and the footprints are mirrored 
Well, now they have to go on the underside the PCBs. Looks fine, too.

We would halve #methane emissions from North America if we cut cattle by half 
A most efficient path would be to target #USA because the headcount is biggest and because each bovine emits most if bred the American way. Same as in Brazil: https://mas.to/@maugendre/113992940508282754

Greenhouse gas from livestock digestion in Equatorial Climates
Along the Equator, it mainly is sheep and bovines that account for methane emissions.
The biggest producers are Ethiopia and Sudan (South Sudan included).
Reference: #GreenHouseForcing http://data.yt/
#Cattle husbandry emits #greenhouse gas.
For example:
* South America and the Indian subcontinent breed most bovines who emit most methane.
* China and the Middle East produce too much livestock methane in regard to their bovine headcounts.
Emissions of #methane from livestock digestion per world region:
(4/4) Ammonia #emissions, a key contributor to air #pollution, originate mostly from #manure management in animal husbandry; its energy-intensive nature (incl. machinery & fertilizers) contributes substantially to the overall carbon #footprint of animal-based food production: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crsust.2025.100281
(2/x) For the carbon #footprint, lower #meat consumption in preschools was offset by higher #dairy intake. Only four #children had #diets below the #carbon impact limit, three of which followed #vegetarian diets. The #environment impact of animal production is substantial: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crsust.2025.100281
Assets owners "can push for the acknowledgement of systemic climate risks by asset managers, and influence managers to improve their climate practices. Reclaim Finance has analysed how asset owners engage asset managers, and offers an overview of best practices that can be replicated."

Why does #Mastodon use #PNG format to share #embeddedImages in #toots ?
The aim of embedding images in a toot is in general not so share images with a print quality, and there are other means of sharing if that's the aim -- so why not gain a factor 2 or 3 on file size both for #environmental #footprint reduction and to reduce the burden on #instance #servers ?
