for this #caturday a few memories of family #cats who crossed the 🌈
#siamese #whitecat #tabbycat

My first feline house manager, when I got my own home.
She lived to 18 and always stopped eating when she had enough.
Very intelligent and vocal. I still miss her a lot. #siamese

I suggested the name "Sky" because when she was little, her ears resembled satellite dishes. She became part of our family.

From my experience of the last 5 decades, I wouldn't believe a politician even when they say their own name!
I agree strongly with what Robin Williams suggested: All politicians should wear sponsor badges, so it's easy to see who they actually represent.

George, do you know of other stations that have feline m&g?
I checked for how to visit you, but apparently I would have to change 3 times each way. May not be possible to use 8 trains on the same day within off-peak hours.

But will any politicians break the link between fossil and green that's keeping prices artificially high?

How could any voter expect a good outcome when all the politicians involved were trying to win something for themselves and their sponsors?
For decades they haven't represented the voters.
Voters didn't choose trading energy (removing the previous competition) or standing charges on utilites...

Currently I only seem to have one hedgehog visitor. But it is coming to my HH cafe several times a night.
Currently providing a dog food they like (with veg!)
I still hope that I will see a mum leading her hoglets to the food, but it hasn't happened yet.

Haven't they 'bought' every politician with influence for decades?
None of those being 'sponsored'/rewarded will allow green energy to be cheaper than from fossil, so the sponsors will be compensated for any 'losses', while they also continue to avoid paying tax...

I just noticed that some of my photos of furrends I met in Crete didn't upload with my post. So I am trying again for this #caturday #cat #cats #blackcats #tabbycats #panfur

A very handsome ginger!

Until 2000, there was competition between electricity generating companies, so the cheapest were used first.
UK politicians linked energy to fossil, for their sponsors, not to lower prices. Break that link and wind/solar/tidal could reduce using coal/gas/oil significantly.
Sponsors bought power.

Does anyone outside the US say 'gas'?
As the transition to EVs continues, just call it the GO pedal
Lifting off = less go.

Q1: if an EV can recover energy at 20kW, and it was on a "rolling road" could it charge faster than it's 7kW charge point limit?
Q2: Would the drive train be simpler if the motor was at the back, driving a rear axle?
Q3: why would an EV stop using recovered energy for regen braking?

Last year I had so many questions about EVs, and couldn't find answers. I had an idea to buy a 3 year old small van, added what I would need to stay in the van at a campsite, as overnight alternative to a tent or caravan.
I have answered many questions, but have more.
For example:

I trust he isn't getting vibes from the power cable?
(It appears to be connected!)

A few more temporary feline furrends I met in Crete.
#cat #cats #Crete #blackcat #gingercat #tuxedocat #caturday

A tuxedo cat enjoying some tasty nibbles on a low wall

This panfur returned to this 'hedgewatch' vantage point after eating the nibbles I offered. Ready to respond if I offered more!
#blackcat

This ginger/white cat didn't want me to try getting closer, but was watching for me to offer more nibbles/treats.

Surely a feline house manager can claim whatever they want as theirs? Seems fair!

Can someone please explain the system that charges the 12V battery in an EV?
I bought a Renault Kangoo EV early last year, when it was 3 years old. Now I discovered that because traction batteries have improved so fast, the value of an EV with under 100 miles range and slow charging is awful.

25 years ago, there was competition between electricity generating companies, to meet expected demand. The govt did what their sponsors wanted, made gas and electric tradeable commodities, and therefore linked to global prices. We won't see lower prices until that connection is removed.

For #caturday here are more of the temporary furrends I met in Crete. #cat #cats #streetcats #crete #tortie #blackcat

A mostly grey cat, with white paws and chest, accepting some nibbles I offered. Perhaps it had a home, as it had a collar and was quite friendly, if hungry. In the centre of Malia.

A hungry tortie accepting nibbles, in the centre of Malia, Crete.
#tortie #cat

The same Tortie, from a bit closer, while it was busy eating.
Accepted minimum touching.

This black cat, after eating what I offered, returned to watching from this convenient vantage point, out of direct sun.

Well done George!
Get rid of those bugs!

The long arm of the paw!

Is it a trap, Edgar?

I prefer cats @dhp8p1h.bsky.social · Sep 24

I only saw my Siamese cat do that.
None of the other felines who improved my life

There are already EV taxis that automatically change the discharged battery for a charged one. I’m not sure where, but I saw a video.

All felines claim the right to judge everyone and everything!
