My cat never brought his kills home. Only once did he bring something, years ago.

Look, I have an idea of what insides of a rodent look like. What was on my kitchen floor I could not identify to this day. It had no feathers, no fur. There were huge amounts of round fat globules. There was no blood whatsoever, no feet, now claws, no beak.

My cat probably prevented some kind of alien invasion.

    This is what I'm talking about: https://www.novintrades.com/articles/241
    When cutting either CF or fiberglass, one should be wearing PPE to protect the skin and lungs, yet we have people printing CF infill and sanding it down without as much as a warning on the filament box.

    I'm not an expert on this topic, but as a hobbyist, I find it interesting how little is known or warned about the safety of materials we're using for printing.

    There are also many types of plastic with very different chemicals.
    I wonder if the next asbestos is carbon fibre, as it's a popular infill for 3d printing, yet it is also made of nano needles that can destroy people's lungs (at least large scale, it's why it's usually cut underwater).
