> I feel like the freaking frog on the stove while the water slowly heats up. When is it time to jump out?

Whenever you feel like it. Just like frogs do:

> While some 19th-century experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true if the heating is sufficiently gradual, according to modern biologists the premise is false: changing location is a natural thermoregulation strategy for frogs and other ectotherms, and is necessary for survival in the wild. A frog that is gradually heated will jump out.
