One of the strategies in water conservation is rain water harvesting > if you harvest the rain water you have conserved it. If I eat the steer, I have consumed harvested rain water, with my protein. This is why this whole line of question and answer are so circular and pointless. For every point there is an equally valid counter point.

@frеdsbend this becomes a circular argument. The steer in my comment, uses the conversation method of rainwater harvesting. If butchered at 1000 pounds, it would contain about 100 gallons of harvested rain water. Going 100% omnivore (range fed, or wild life) would have a positive water conservation impact, while any commercial vegan diet would have a negative water conservation impact.

How do you define save water? It is not like water is used up and in most cases it is not produced nor altered before use for growing crops, etc. A 100% range feed steer, with access to stream fed water supply, only takes the amount of water out of the environment that it turns into body mass.

"This was a simply quick-fix for sites that were so obviously so NOT "in beta testing", we could do so something RIGHT NOW with little risk, even if it means we haven't solved all the problems with that process."

@Aravona There are a number of inflight discussions about that on meta.stackexchange.com in theory yes, in practice time will tell, the goal was just to remove "Beta" from the site name,

There have been no new posts at chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/79660/pets-chat-off-the-leash in 13 days, and it does not look frozen, at least I don't have the option to unfreeze it. Can someone who is not a moderator, try and post something there. If you are unable to post please ping me here.

At the same time in New York For-profit organizations may not use unpaid volunteers seems pretty grey to me.
James Jenkins
Nov 14, 2019 20:44
I read this still don't see where it excludes volunteers. "3. (a) The term “employees” includes but is not restricted to any individual employed by a labor organization; any individual whose employment has ceased as a consequence of, or in connection with, any current labor dispute or because of any unfair labor practice, "
James Jenkins
Nov 14, 2019 20:44
Can you expand on this, I don't see where volunteers are excluded nor are they included. Several groups are specifically included and excluded, volunteers are not. See also Is Stack Exchange in violation of New York labor law, in using volunteer moderators?
