Ain't no way I'm grabbing a bug while it's still moving. My wife and I are both huge sissies with bugs. Standard protocol here is spray it with Raid until we are sure it's dead, then wait an hour before moving it to the trash.

I know, we suck.

I mean, it's a spray for lots of things, roach being one of them. (Ant/wasp/roach spray)
I had it on hand for ants.

Title cut off, I'm in Michigan and have no history of roaches. Never even seen one before.

I'd add on that the expectation in an individualist society like the US is to become independent and move out. Those ideas are used synonymously in a lot of contexts. Someone who hasn't moved out can be seen as lacking independence. Of course that isn't necessarily true, but it's the perception.

For a young person growing up with these ideas as the standard, there can be a certain safety in forgoing that independence. That was my situation for years, where I was financially independent, but moved back home after my roommates moved away. I was in my mid twenties before I moved out for good.

I have the arranged in the order I use them most. Spoons are on the left, then forks, then knives. I rarely need knives while eating, just for cooking.

I did not consider a 6200F heavy metal to be a hot drink.

I dont know how much energy you'd get per hour from a hot mug though. I'm much more intrigued by a blanket that would keep you safe in the arctic as well as the Sahara.

Reading the parahumans story, "Worm", has changed how I look at people. It is my personal-favorite character study. There are dozens of characters who all have unique world views to explore.

Swinging between feeling like you're a computer god, and then feeling like you're horrible at your job.
