Could it be done right somehow?

I wanna go, but like, I'm afraid of the cringe factor.  Can you rent it out to sulk in by yourself? :-P

After malting (sprouting the grain you're using by getting it wet) you stop the seed germination process by drying them all out.  If you use a fire to dry out the grain the smoke from that fire gets into the taste.

Went to Scotland earlier this year and toured some distilleries. Best part of the tour was absolutely the hippie tour guide, but the distilleries were cool too. 

I had always assumed that "years" of scotch were like wine vintages, and that if you bought a Glen Goyne 15 in 2015 it would taste different to a bottle of Glen Goyne 15 you bought in 1990, and also, if you had bought both then opened both at the same time and sampled them they would not only taste different, but the 25 year old bottle from 1990 would taste "older".

That's apparently wrong, and those should both taste the same.  The years refer to the oldest stuff in the batch, but they customize each batch to taste the same, even if that means changing the blend ratios to achieve uniformity across time.

Anyway, learned something new. Also learned I don't like peated or smoked whiskey.  I thought it would be hard to decide, peat no peat, maybe I like it??... NOPE.

Ever tried Mellow Corn?

Hmmmm. Tracking is gonna be kinda difficult, no?

Buh.  I'm really done with the "X script made Y actor mentally ill" construction.  Teleplays are not mind pathogens.

Right, Ive been trying to figure out what they look like post state media mouthpiece era when he's not president anymore, be that next year or in 2024.

He comes up behind her at the bar and touches her without asking, apparently giving her a headache, then follows her after she asks to be left alone. When she gets outside and is alone, he starts telling her that he knows personal things about her.

I'd be creeped out.

How could Nicodemus have shown us that line instead of telling it to us?

Spent last week in the UK for a wedding, and watched movies on the plane:

The House with a Clock in Its Walls
Ralph Breaks the Internet
VICE (Ever time I try to remember the title of this I think it's called DICK)
Cloud Atlas

I read the House with a Clock in its Walls when I was 11 or 12 or something.  Film version wasn't bad? Wasn't great.  Ralph Movie was pretty meh.  VICE was pretty good.  Nice meta thing in the edit.  Cloud Atlas was Good. I'm glad I was on the plane, cause I prolly couldn't have sat still for it any other way.
