For your own sanity and wallet, it is best that you do not investigate further.

And yet, whenever I get a new keyboard or caps there is a nontrivial chance my wife will steal them.

Theft of both food and desk items was a huge issue at two different large office jobs I had. In the second one, HR and management didn’t care until someone stole the electronics from the break room and they finally put up cameras. I think the correlation is that those big offices had large phone sales and support staff that works in the building. Those roles underpaid, under-appreciated, and have high turnover. I can definitely see some of those people being on their last rope and not giving a shit about stealing from either the company or people they feel have “cushy” jobs.

Making inedible or spicy food to catch a food thief is a trick as old as time and I have even done it myself. There is no other way to catch them out usually.

Me too, but considering how many questions had AI in it…

I wish there had just been a single answer that said “Focus on Firefox and not AI”.

To be fair, it made slightly more sense in the comics, though still batshit. In the comics there was no noble purpose like they tried to shoehorn in for the MCU. IIRC, Thanos was literally doing it to impressed Death (the cosmic entity) to gain her affection.

That mall map looks like a map of a later Doom 2 level. Monster closets everywhere!
