100% of people exposed to oxygen die.

Huh, interesting. To me, "moggy" is just a slang term for a cat, e.g. "who's a pretty moggy?". But also, I've only once met a cat that was of a particular breed, so perhaps the general nature of "moggy" for me stems from that. (For context, I am from the UK)

I'm not typically someone who squees over photos of other people's pets, but those are two beautiful cats

The vets that I have experienced tend to use the human's surname as the pet's surname. If that's the case with you also, it is humorous to imagine a cat's chart basically saying "Cat [your last name]"

"My grandma once served my grandfather his breakfast in an ash tray because she was so sick of him putting out his ciagrettes on the plates."

Ha, this is an excellent story

No no, you've got it the wrong way round: autism causes telescopes

Your comment has caused me to re-evaluate my perspective; thanks for sharing. The situation is more nuanced than I realised.

I don't feel good about this. I used to be heavily in favour of assisted dying rights, but I fear that disabled people who have been failed by the system will end up going down this path. I've seen examples of it happen in Canada. I have very little trust in the UK's health and social care system at the moment, because as a country, we don't seem to care about actually supporting people.

This reminded me of a delightful comedy sketch by John Finnemore ("Penguin Diplomacy". 20ish minutes long radio clip). https://archive.org/details/BBC_Radio_4_FM_20170628_173000_John_Finnemores_Double_Acts?start=80

"Eggshells are actually (usually) good for them because of high calcium content."

Given that producing eggs must use up a bunch of calcium, this makes sense, in a "circle of life kind of way

Seeing your reply in my inbox reminded me that I got up to get some ice-cream, but forgot again en route to the freezer. On the bright side, it means I still have ice-cream in my freezer

"Multiple new scylla songs too, Supergiant are spoiling us."

Awesome. I love how catchy the Scylla songs are
