I mean, “I’m only happy when it rains” should be the national anthem for Catland.

That’s super awesome - both for the fostering, and for paying the cat tax in advance!

I like the idea of getting an adult cat - a bit bigger, a bit wiser, and a bit warmer to the idea of having a bed and a human to call their own.

Man I’d love to be able to do that and give cats a good run-in for their twilight years but I don’t think I could - partly because one of the household is allergic to cats; but mainly I don’t think I could deal with the repeated emotional devastation of having to let them go at a much higher rate than a “normal” pet owner.

Fair play to those that do. Pretty ballsy.

Maybe she’s fast charging by induction? Who needs naps when you’ve got radioactive power box to give you more blep time?

Obligatory Depeche Mode with eerily relevent lyrics.

Jesus wept, I used to love the Indy when I bought the print rag.

The online presence is like if Ryanair did news.

It is, and again I’m speaking from a UK-centric viewpoint, where the public services are privatised to the point where financial viability does have an impact on it, which is unfortunate as it waters the service down for everybody.

The article doesn’t make it clear if the transport operation is state owned or privately operated, hopefully it’s the former because I agree with the notion that it should be seen as a service with a net benefit rather than a cost on the accounting books.

Because unfortunately, they do.

In Scotland, multiple local authorities signed up to a scheme to allow young persons to use cards to get free travel. Fantastic idea and one that would be awesome to see spread to all age bands, but the problem was that antisocial behaviour increased in and around transport hubs, largely because of the increased mobility of people.

It’ll be interesting to see if any lessons learned are integrated into other city planning where these schemes are rolled out.

Brilliant idea.

Not sure how financially viable it is (would love to see the sums though) but fingers crossed, if it works in cities, it can be expanded to the country too.

I can only speak from a UK perspective but I can only hope the fuckwits don’t use it to abuse it. It’s a genuinely progressive move and probably the best way of bridging the gap between combustion vehicles and EV’s, or even bypassing them entirely.
