Do consider that most veggies, fruits and starches grow outside, where rats can piss on it; a few bugs will be milled along the grains into flour, and a few rathairs might be in there as well.
detailing acceptable levels of food contamination from sources such as maggots, thrips, insect fragments, "foreign matter", mold, rodent hairs, and insect and mammalian feces. Don't worry though; you have acid in your stomach.

I used to work for the Department of Agriculture as a chemist. One of our jobs were to analyze food products off the shelves of supermarkets. We had limits as to how many bug parts and fecal matter was allowed in cereals and breads. We also had limits on how much urine and other contaminates to be allowed in products like milk and juices. After working there for a year, I taught myself to not even think about it. Finding a cockroach after you have eaten the meal makes you wonder how many cockroaches have you consumed.

Anyone who works with food would know; whenever I picked something from the garden it would be washed, and no matter how good you wash it, there's always a chance that you miss something.
I remember how cow-sh*t was thrown on the carrots to make them grow better. A month later we'd pull a carrot out, wipe it with our clothes, and eat it on the spot

I thought you had a cat under your house! They love to snack on protein, especially if it's easy to catch. But not too easy, or it's no fun.

I let the cats live there to clean out less wanted species... At least a cat can be easily spotted before walks in to my plate...

Sometimes it happens - in a fancy Parisienne bistrot (in Paris) we happened to find a worm in the salad. We notified the waiter who then changed the plate with a new one and discounted it.
It didn't happen again the other times we ate there. Sometimes s*** happens... I would be very wary though about cockroaches because rarely there is only one.

Good suggestion. Might as well try when/if I go there next time.

It would be unsanitary to give tours to all customers in the kitchen and have their dirty paws touching everything, of course; some may entertain you, some won't.
We like to show our workplace and talk about computers. A proud owner and a proud cook will do the same, if you ask a bit polite and during not-too-busy hours.

That is too funny...  .. unfortunately we shared the same dishes...

We had a similar experience on a first trip to a restaurant at lunch.
The owner waived the bill for all four of us, even though only 1 dish was affected.
We declined the offer of free dessert; we never went back.
The General Tso/Tao chicken was also the worst we have ever had.
Theory:
A live roach would never be cooked.
The roach eats some poison and then makes it into the vegetables/rice/etc where it dies.
This poisoned roach is then cooked into your meal.
Question:
How much of the roach poison ends up in your food?

That depends. Was the cockroach from your place, or theirs?

Some things that just bug me about the tools I'm using...
GIT - After all these years, I can't be the first person who wants to manage multiple separate but tightly related code bases as one repository and avoid the overhead of constantly having to keep them in sync, configure them the same, etc... Or where one part of it is to be public and the other part not. It seems crazy to me that the leading SC solution is so lacking in this key aspect. If you are on a team and all pushing to (now multiple) common repositories, it seems like it would be even more psycho.
Visual Studio Code - Related to GIT above, cannot deal with multiple repositories so you lose GIT integration if need to have separate repositories, which the above will often force you to do. I just started using VSC on my own C++ stuff and was really appreciating seeing what had changed, which lasted a few days until the above forced me to lose that ability.
And, though having the intellisense stuff is very helpful, it can be incredibly intrusive and annoying sometimes.
And, it seems to want to force you to have all customizations be per-user. Clearly in many cases you would want global configuration that is enforced/available for a project and shared by all users of it.
C++ - Why has the committee spent all this time creating a cathedral to container abstraction, while seemingly ignoring the fact that you can't write even a modest C++ program and remain within the standard? I.e. you have to throw in a bunch of third party bits and bobs, because there's been not much progress towards a reasonably full featured cross platform (even if some of it is only applicable on the mainstream) system. I think that the latter would do far more to allow C++ to compete against things like C# than the ability to remove every third odd numbered duplicate vector element.
Similar to above, while ignoring fundamental things like enumerations, which suck in C++. I've done a lot of work on my own to make them very strong (if you are interested : [^]) but it just seems like stuff like that are core language issues.
At some point C++, if it's going to survive, is going to have to just cut off some of the past and move forward, IMO.
I'm sure there are others but my coffee cup runneth dry.

They are all rough. I just had a compile going on and figured I'd vent a bit.

I grew up with SourceSafe. I am a single developer and don't work in a team. I have never yet found anything that competes. I don't know why MS dropped it.

I don't know anymore. I just don't.

What did you replace it with?
VSS had 0 security if you were working in a team/networked environment.
It would never pass a corporate audit.

As I said, I am a single programmer (1 man shop). I do not work in a corporate or team environment. . I still use it for my VB6 legacy support work.
So far I have replaced it with a 9TB Raid 5 array and different backups for each day of the week Monday through Saturday. (Never work on Sunday). I tried Tortoise SVN but was extremely unhappy with the lack of documentation, and how cumbersome it is. I also tried TFS, with similar complaints.
If you know of anything for revision control NOT for someone working in a Team environment, I would love to hear about it.
It is hell getting old but still beats the alternative.
