The Museum of History in Canada has a cool solution to this regarding some of their indigenous artifacts.

They either come to an agreement with the people who the historical item belongs to for the museum to keep it, or they give it back with either a placard explaining why the item is no longer at the museum, or reproduction in its place with a sign explaining that its a repro.

It used to be, when there were actual bargains worth fist-fighting over.

Now they jack the prices up leading into November, and return prices to normal with "SALE" in bug red letters, or offer a piddly 10%-15% discount and act like its a door crasher.

Nah. I mean, it can happen, and really only with bedbugs, but only if you're not careful.

Roaches have no interest in being on your person, so.its not like they're going to hitch a ride home with you. If I were to, say, take home a cardboard box from a heavily infested unit, then maybe (they loooove corrugated boxes), but that fall under "not careful".

Bed bugs are pretty much the same. I mean, if you give a bear hug to a mattress that is heavily infested, then there is a chance that one could make it onto you and you bring it home, but theyre actually not that great at holding on (they are not like ticks where they latch on).

My only precaution is an ocular patdown of myself when I leave a unit, and as soon as I get home, my uniform goes into the dryer on High for 40 minutes to kill anything in the off chance I brought a bed bug or an egg home with me.

I dont know if its really "Lesser Known", but pest control is a very interesting field to work in and isnt often talked about in many circles.

Its essentially future proof, as we're always going to have pests. Its one of those jobs where its the same enough every day that you get a little better, but different enough from call to call to keep you challenged and stay interested.

I wished that I had even considered it an open back in High School and gone to college/university to actually study pests in an academic setting, and be able to participate in some of the groundbreaking work taking place currently.

I always thought that tides were a really underutilized source of energy.

I mean, look at the Bay of Fundy. The equivalent of all the water in all the rivers in the entire world cycles in and out every single day. Thats a lot of movement and a ton of potential energy there.

If they went back to doing standalone movies with very loose tie ins (or none at all) to the MCU at large, instead of every movie feeling like a 105 minute trailer for the next movie, more people would see them.

One of the best things to come out post Endgame (for me at least) has been Moon Knight, precisely because it stood by itself with no connection to the MCU at large.

Once they realize that movies can be reasonably successful without having to tie in to one overarching, decade spanning plot, they'll go back to being good.

Movie itself was pretty even keel, not great, not terrible.

Cons: weak uninspired villain, that fucking singing planet

Pros: Kamala and her family, cool explorations of the the Marvels' powers, taking advantage of their quantum entaglement, and probably one of the best real hype post credits scenes since the OG thanos teaser.

I have had several french presses, and I can say with certainty that the Aeropress is way easier to make a great cup of coffee with than any french press I have tried.

Can you make great coffee with french press? Absolutely! But it requires the proper grind, water temp, and timing it to prevent over or under extraction. Aeropress is a lot more forgiving.
