Australis13

I see he's projecting again...

You're most welcome! I am both a cat lover (have had them for 30+ years) and also a gardener, so I have had to learn which plants to keep away from my pets! Gets a bit difficult when Liliums are one of my favourite genera.

If memory serves, Dahlias and Irises also cause gastrointestional upsets (so I don't have them in the house since one of my cats like to chew on any greenery that comes inside) but aren't likely to be fatal.

Digitalis (Foxgloves) are deadly to not only most pets but people as well (although in the right amount it can actually be used to treat certain heart conditions).

This looks great. It would be good to expand the list of toxic plants as well.

It's worth noting that a lot of plants have the common name of "Lily" or "Lilies" despite only the genus Lilium being true lilies and the severity of injury varies, so it might be worth separating out the "Lilies" entry appropriately.

• True Lilies (Lilium) are the most toxic to cats (good to see that you have flagged every part of the plant as hazardous). I suggest adding a note that the highest risk of accidental exposure comes from the pollen, since if a cat brushes against a bloom the pollen gets in their fur and then they ingest it when they clean themselves.
• Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are also highly toxic.
• Pretty much anything in the Arum family (Calla Lilies, Anthurium e.g. Flamingo Lilies, Spathiphyllum e.g. Peace Lily) is toxic but far less likely to be fatal.
• Peruvian Lilies (Alstromeria) are also toxic but again not as dangerous as true lilies and Day lilies.
• Lily of the Valley (Convallaria) can cause irregular heartbeat but are not necessarily fatal.

My first thought is to ask if you have IT skills that would enable you to do remote work - even if it's a fixed-term contract or casual to start with.

Not being able to drive can be a significant limiting factor, especially if your family have health issues and may depend on you at some point. Does your situation allow for you to learn to drive and get your licence?

Punctuation matters!

In the cat's defense, it does look like a raised cat bed... It's also exactly the type of thing my cats would go for (I had to buy a raised cat bed for one of them so I could get my desk chair back).

There's a difference between nostalgia/fan service and respect for the past.

At least it looks like one of the quick-release ones (the clip pulls apart if the collar gets caught on something). We have those for our cats.

Sadly you mimic the small-minded willfully ignorant people who call themselves Christians too well. People like that really get on my nerves since it is painfully obvious that they don't know the Bible they claim to believe.

Isaiah 5:20 is always what comes to mind in scenarios like this (e.g. Trump calling accountability evil):

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Speaking of replicators, does anyone know where the larger industrials ones are supposed to be on the Galaxy and Intrepid class? I can't recall seeing any other replicator than the microwave-sized standard ones. Not particularly useful for fabricating large parts or recycling large items.

Or does the cargo transporter fill this role too?

Forgetting the fact that the US is now run by a fascist regime who is actively targeting minorities and the neurodiverse, even my own government's general advice basically implies that it's not a good idea to travel to the US (our travel advisory has added warnings three times so far this year, despite leaving the overall risk level at Level 1/Green). The list of caveats is so long that I'd need to have an exceptionally good reason for travelling there now. Here's just a sampling of the warnings from the Overview section (yes, there's a much bigger detailed list of advice):

Violent crime is more common in the United States than in Australia. Gun crime is also prevalent. If you live in the United States, learn and practice active shooter drills. Medical costs in the United States are extremely high. You may need to pay up-front for medical assistance. Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications readily available in Australia are illegal in the United States. Some states have laws restricting access to abortion and other reproductive health care services. Research local laws and consult your doctor before making any decisions about your medical care. There's no federal law that explicitly protects LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination. Some US states and localities have laws that may affect LGBTQIA+ travellers. An approved ESTA or valid visa doesn’t guarantee entry to the United States. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port of entry will determine your eligibility. If CBP denies your entry, you may be held at the port of entry or a nearby detention facility while US authorities arrange your return to Australia (or the last country you visited).
