Massaclaim is a great word for a class action.

I’m not sure a license is the best way to go about it, but I certainly do think something needs to change.

I believe there should be some sort of minimum commitment to training if a person gets a new dog, i.e. you can have a puppy but you must have already booked up x amount of training sessions, and have vets appointments booked in.

And with cats, it’d like to see pre-booked appointments for neutering/spaying and microchipping, because apparently according to my neighbours, you can buy kittens, not do any of that and then just let them be feral around your neighbourhood and not really have to take care of them at all.

I’d actually like to see legislation on new cats not being let outside unless contained in a catio or something.

Dropped my fairphone 3 yesterday, smashed the screen

Really annoying I’ve dropped this loads and never broke it.

~35 quid for a new screen isn’t bad

Just wish the later models had, you guessed it, a headphone jack.

When I was a kid, if I wanted to ride to school, my school required that I pass a cycling proficiency test, which taught me about road laws and where and how I was supposed to position my bike on the road to stay safe.

I’d love to see a cycling and small electric vehicle proficiency course be part of our school curriculum.

There are always going to be people that ignore the rules of the road (I nearly got hit by a car today who didn’t give way to the right on a roundabout, I was watching him, he didn’t even look!), but I don’t see how adding this in schools could cause harm.

Check out how Bicing in Barcelona works, problem is already solved there, no need to start fining lime, just change the legislation so that these services need to have physical locking racks where bikes can be both left and retrieved from, that way they can’t be stolen and they’ll be kept in better condition because they aren’t being pinched constantly.

Check out how bicing in Barcelona works, no cameras and surveillance, but you literally cannot retrieve a bike without an account and the app because they are physically locked in racks. It’s a brilliant system and ours can be easily fixed with a little legislation.

You just bump start them, there’s nothing to break from the outside, you just lift the back wheel and start moving, then drop the wheel and it’ll keep going, but with an alarm and a clacking.

Yeah there is, they can be bump started really easily, you literally just lift the rear wheel then start moving forward, then put the wheel back down and jump on, I’ve seen kids do it, it takes zero skill. In the meadows these days I hear a lime alarm pretty much every day.

This is a problem that’s already been solved, check out bicing in Barcelona and how that works. This really is a problem of legislation.

Fully agree, I also have safety concerns (if they hit you, you’re going underneath, not over the top) and driver competency concerns (i’d probably have more vehicle categories for testing, I find it ridiculous that someone learns in a nissan Micra and then goes out and buys a land rover and that’s just fine, the vehicle is much larger, the amount of vans that have hit my fence because they can’t turn around easily in my cul-de-sac is getting ridiculous, I’d also like to shout out the fucking moron who bumped his suv onto the cycle path the other day without looking causing me to have to break really hard because I nearly ran into the thing, he wasn’t a good enough driver to turn it around on the road, I did shout at him he should think about getting a smaller car that he can actually handle)
