EU poised to water down new car pollution rules after industry lobbying
  • High pressure hydrogen is a thing too and regular petrol engines can be converted to run on it. Toyota already did it with an old corolla and a rally Yaris https://mag.toyota.co.uk/restomod-ae86/ https://mag.toyota.co.uk/hydrogen-gr-yaris-showcases-experimental-engine/ so not fully shutting the door but still a big hindrance.

  • What is your favorite car ?
  • Call me a weeb if you want but my favourite is still the AE86, but honestly I like most 80s/90s cars. I prefer the boxy look over the bubbly 2000s look and most cars after the turn of the century are just bland.

  • What’s the average tip for a delivery driver in the US?
  • As someone who used to be a delivery driver in the uk the idea of getting a tip for doing a shitty job is bat shit insane, I almost never got tips beyond people telling me to keep the change and even when I did get a tip it was usually £2 for driving about 20 miles to do a delivery.

    The absolute highest tip I ever got was £10 for delivering 2 full bags of food to a super rich neighbourhood in about 15 mins because it was the first house on my route. (And that £10 was still less than 10% of the cost of the order.)

  • Value aside, do people actually like gold-looking things?
  • That’s the whole reason gold even has value, for 99% of human history it was worthless but people thought it was pretty so it became expensive.

  • Why did you get fired?
  • I told my boss that I was going to have to reduce my hours back to weekends only because college was starting back up again which meant I couldn't do week day shifts, so they put me down for two mid week shifts and didn't tell me about them, then they used that as an excuse to fire me.

  • @F1 Twitter: Most positions gained so far in 2023
  • All I can think of is that Lollipopman joke where Checo says Max needs to up his overtaking game or Helmut will be coming for him.

  • Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front?
  • Tiny takeaway with a rich owner, hires on the spot, cash in hand payments, no contracts and most regular deliveries are to houses that stink of weed. Pretty sure that one would be a front (but it’s a front that does good food)

  • How do people sleep on planes?
  • The one time I slept in a plane for more than an hour was when I wrapped my head in a blanket and had an empty seat next to me to lean on.

  • Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?
  • It costs about £1.80 per litre to make your own bio diesel in the uk at the moment using supermarket vegetable oil (or even less if you bulk buy) so I don’t see eco fuels being so expensive that it’s unaffordable to anyone who can already afford a car.

  • What's the most exciting development happening in your field of work/study at the moment?
  • At the moment the deer population has to be controlled by humans because otherwise they’ll completely destroy entire forests, when lynx are introduced they’ll prey on the deer so humans don’t have to and the forests can recover.

  • What's the most exciting development happening in your field of work/study at the moment?
  • Attempts to bring lynx back to Scotland, it’ll stabilise the ecosystem for the first time since the Middle Ages

  • Glitch is not a big fan of the outside world
  • If left unchecked yes, but if it’s someone’s pet then it won’t be unchecked. I still believe that all pet cats should be neutered (until we have the stray population down anyway) but if they have been neutered then you shouldn’t force them to live their lives indoors (again if you’re in the natural ranges for the wildcats they descended from). Cats have extremely large territorial ranges so unless you live in a mansion your cat will not have enough space if they are stuck indoors 24/7.

  • Glitch is not a big fan of the outside world
  • There is no difference between a domestic cat and a wildcat, as in they're able to interbreed because they're genetically the same species. So if you're in a region where they would naturally exist (effectively all of Eurasia) then it's perfectly fine to let your cats go outside.

    TLDR: It's only bad to let your cats out if you live in the Americas or Australia.
