Sat next to a guy on a flight to NYC once who just acted like David Puddy from Seinfeld the entire time. Stared straight ahead, didn't read, didn't watch anything, didn't get up to use the toilet, refused to accept his prepaid meal for some reason. I should have checked to see if he had an 8-Ball jacket.

It's from something that Spaces does to audio because it's a garbage quality app (it's added a lisp to other Elon cronies in the past), but I'm sure Trump is still absolutely seething about it.

Bizarre that cops can just decline to give a DNA sample. I feel like it should be mandatory as soon as you're employed for a sample to be taken and filed just to help if a crime scene is contaminated, plus it might be a deterrent for murderous predators like this.

All coffee processes use fermentation at some stage I think, but certain e.g. natural or black honey ones really want to encourage the type of flavours you'd associate with fermentation, like those boozy, overripe stone fruit-y anaerobic naturals. Washed coffee still has a fermentation period to break down the mucilage though.
The yeast process seems to involve taking more control of which yeast is present during fermentation, rather than I guess wild yeasts, and having specific flavours come from that. -
Last year we went to Sicily at the end of September and the weather was perfect (for me). This year my wife booked it in mid-August and I'm genuinely worried about my health, while she thinks the hotter the better.
A couple of months ago we bought one of those air coolers that draws up cool water into a mesh and blows air through it for our oven-like attic flat. It's reasonably effective right now but I think it's going to struggle if we get towards 40°C again. -
Having some wisdom tooth troubles as my last remaining one got an infection and made me extremely unwell last week. I saw the emergency dentist because my usual one cancelled my original appointment and got some antibiotics, and went to see the usual one yesterday.
I previously used to go to a surgery near my old job who had looked at my wisdom teeth before and took one out, but declined to touch this remaining one after checking a CT because it was too close to the nerve and said I would have to have it done under general at the Eastman if it caused problems. My current dentist is like 'oh no we have a specialist' and want to potentially do it themselves and charge me god knows how much, and mentioned just cutting out half the tooth. Fuck that. They did another CT and their specialist is going to call me next week to discuss pricing. Is it worth going back to the old place since I still seem to be on their books (they messaged me the other day saying I'm overdue for a check) and having them do a hospital referral since they already said they weren't confident it could be done at their surgery? -
Yeah the criminal case about classified documents, but he has a crooked Republican judge that he nominated on that one who is trying to drag it out as much as possible. Fortunately she doesn't seem very good at it because she's one of several extremely young judges with very little experience that Trump plopped in there with the help of some right wing think tank.

Preachers on public transport. If you want to stand in the street yelling this shit knock yourself out (though I feel for people working in businesses nearby) but don't get on a carriage in rush hour and start with that. I swear the guy this morning was throwing in a humble brag too by going on about how many women he'd slept with before finding Jesus.

Finally decided to order an upgrade for my crappy fan and got one of those air coolers you fill with ice water. Seems awfully likely the Yodel driver has decided to steal it cos he suddenly marked it as delivered while their driver tracker showed him in Edmonton miles from my flat. Naturally there's no easy way to flag this on Yodel's site or in the app, so I've had to message the company who sold it. I was already resigned to not actually getting it today cos I could see he had loads of stops left and had blown past the delivery window, but that is taking the piss.
Edit: this got dropped in on Sunday morning so I guess maybe the driver just wanted to keep up his 'delivery' numbers with Yodel and not be penalised, which is pretty sad.
Nope. He diagnosed himself.
