Easy rule, don't put anything in the oven that doesn't belong in the oven. Plus it is a double oven, so I know the lower is always empty while there might be a cast iron in the top oven.

IDK about smoke detection, but it does shut itself off after a certain amount of time. Years ago I had an ancient GAS oven that I forgot on for THREE DAYS at like 150. I think that was much more dangerous, lol. Those were the best damn pumpkin seeds I ever made though.

100% agree! Funny enough, my poor husband wears a bra backwards with a tennis ball sewn in the middle to keep him from sleeping on his back and having apnea. Better than a CPAP I guess

To piggyback on this, for this of us who enjoy a refrigerator cluttered with magnets, you can stick them to the fridge! I have a bunch of magnetic hematite on my fridge and have a scissor, lighter, multiple chip clips, and pens stuck to it. No more digging through a junk drawer!

Idk, I probably have autism or something. In more extreme temps I like it blasting on me until I reach a tipping point at which it is completely overwhelming and I need it turned off or pointing away, haha. It could also be the fact that I am upgrading from a 2000. And I got an electric, so if I don't need climate control using battery I want it off, which may change when I am on the highway. Other factors include not having a garage and doing a lot of outdoor activities that can leave one very hot/cold/moist for the drive home. The thing that radicalized me on this issue was driving in a Tesla. You couldn't even change the direction of the vents manually.

Gotta find a non-patronizing way to ask if they need help, a hug, or to be heard.

I live in liberal hipster paradise, Portland, Oregon (I say that completely unironically and lovingly). I don't think I have seen a gun or heard a gunshot in town (except police as others have covered). There is definitely gun violence around, I just haven't encountered it. I definitely have friends who have never handled a gun.

Get out of town, though, into a state forest or something, and you are bound to hear people out target shooting. Most folks do it safe places like quarries so they can shoot into a wall, but once and a while I come across a spot where there is nothing to stop a bullet but trees. As a person who does a lot of off trail mushroom hunting I think this is the most likely way that I get shot. I really wish there was some sort of training required to own a firearm.

A lot of people like to carry when they hike and camp too, which I think is as silly as keeping a gun under your pillow. Like, that is just asking for a terrible accident. In fact someone I know was shot and killed while out hiking and I can only imagine it was some kind of stupid accident or over reaction or something.

Sorry for rambling, this is my kind of everyday interaction with guns. PS, my partner and I own several handguns, an AK 47, a shot gun, and some rifles. Many of them were inherited and we never really shoot them anymore. It's weird.
