One the one hand I agree that weight control in pets should be easier as owners control most if the food. But I understand these are cats with a disease, so it might be different. Also, very food-obsessed pets might have challenging behavioral issues and even the best owner cannot always prevent some food theft or eating of inedible material by a pet with issues.

Everyone being build differently is what makes us resilient as a species and causes evolution. Also, if everyone was equally good at golf it wouldn't be a fun sport anymore.

The woman next to me in the hospital was asked if she could be pregnant right after the nurse checked her birth year at more than 80 years ago. We all had a little laugh at that one.

I vaguely remember seeing ads on cliff faces etc in movies 15 years ago on television, but I think they stopped using them very quickly. Is this just a comeback of a failed test?

While hiking with my boyfriend and dog I was waiting outside a supermarket one day while he was shopping. A woman and her daughter came to give us some dogtreats and a bag of sweet buns because they thought I was homeless. I couldn't do anything but gracefully accept. We did enjoy the sweet buns and a few days later we spotted a woman with her daughter begging at the train station and were able to pass on the kindness. We are also always on the lookout for beggars with dogs to share out some treats. All in all it caused more goodness (and only slight embarresment) in our lives.

From the report: This report is a product of field and remote research carried out between October 2019 and May 2021. The report’s findings and conclusions are based on first-hand testimonies that Amnesty International gathered from former detainees of the internment camps and other people who were present in Xinjiang after 2017, as well as from an analysis of satellite imagery and data. The report also draws on testimonial evidence and confidential government documents gathered and analysed by journalists, scholars, and other human rights organizations. One hundred twenty-eight people were interviewed for this report: 55 former detainees of internment camps in Xinjiang (39 men and 16 women), 15 other witnesses who lived in or visited Xinjiang since 2017, and 68 family members of people from Xinjiang who are currently missing or detained. The majority of the interviewees were Kazakh, a minority were Uyghurs, and a small number were Kyrgyz or Han Chinese.

I enthusiastically bought a load of quinoa to diversify my grain cabinet.. anyone got some good (veggie) recipes?

We don't have a dryer and the lines only hold one load of laundry. So every time I know I've done all I can do for 2 whole days. The bliss is enormous. Sucks if I accidentally skip a few days though as it is almost impossible to catch up on a backlog.

The same place artists get it? As long as people enjoy watching what you do and are inspired by it it is worth something.

On QI (bbc quiz show) they once said the sound you make when you sneeze is cultural/learned, so I wouldn't be surprised the number of sneezes is also somehow cultural.

But it looks nice on screen, and that is what we watch movies for. Not for historical accuracy, especially in fantasy.
