I had a files job at the IRS decades ago. One of the files I pulled had a letter attached. It started "Dear IRS, judges and others: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace"
He went on and on about how he wouldn't send any of his money to anyone or anything that used the "end times biblical demon machine, the computer". It was a rant of epic proportions, and totally unhinged.

The saddest part was a quick peep at his W2 showed that as a retiree, he would have been getting money back.

They are a kind of arachnids. They don't have any kind of venom, but are extremely fast and have big chompy jaws. They eat pretty much anything they can catch.

I know someone who has some of these and whip scorpions as pets and says the side benefit is the landlord never shows up to their place unannounced now

Also your skin is your bones, and when you wriggle out you’re soft and vulnerable and need to lie down for long enough afterward to let your skin-bones harden up again.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Roaches in the bedroom = roaches climbing on you while you sleep.

After a couple years of spraying and slowly sealing up this old house, I think we're finally free of inside roaches. Luckily, they mostly stuck to the basement under the porch, which previously was somewhat open to the outside. Prior to this, on the second floor, my father in law had one climb on his face in the middle of the night. :cry:

Edit: we visited this place in winter and bought it and had been living in it for a couple months going into summer and I was working on my bicycle in the dimly lit basement when I noticed some weird pattern on the boarded up basement window. I got out my flashlight and walked over to that end (it's a really large basement) and discovered several hundred cockroaches living on and in the old stone wall, the plywood-covered window, the beams and ceiling.

I called an exterminator immediately and after the guy sprayed down every surface, I probably vacuumed up a couple hundred dead roaches each day for the next week before it finally started to slow down. They've never come back that badly. The house was vacant for maybe a year while the previous owners were trying to sell it, so they had plenty of time to move in and hang out despite there not being anything for them to eat inside.

I didn't have the sound on and totally didn't clock those as roaches because they weren't the size of his palm.

Growing up in FL messes with your sense of scale for this type of thing.

E: I do know the size difference is because they're different types, we just never really saw the German ones so it's not my reference for them.
