Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Dunno about you but where I live there are raccoons and they have already tried to make themselves at home on my balcony several times.
The only trash bins they have never figured out how to open are containers they can't tip over and can't physically reach the latch.
I saw a comment from a park ranger that the reason they don't make trash bins bear-proof is that there is considerable overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest human. There is considerably more overlap between the smartest raccoon and the dumbest human.
If I store food outside, it will be stolen by raccoons, especially in winter when food is scarce.
No raccoons are cutting off human penii to study later.
