Read somewhere that temperature is the biggest variable for fermentation speed. Your experience totally lines up with that, warmer means faster. Makes sense why recipes always give such a wide time range.

That quick soak trick is a lifesaver when you forget to soak them overnight.

Tbh that server room trick from wrenh65 is brilliant. Honestly just getting away from the screen for a bit fixes so much.

Watched my buddy and his cousin stop talking for a week after a fight about "Catcher in the Rye." His cousin called Holden a whiny rich kid who needed to get over himself, and my friend took it super personal, like he was defending his own teenage self. They were slamming beers and it just escalated from literary critique to bringing up old family stuff. Took a mutual love of football to get them back in the same room.

My kid clicked a bad link once and our whole wifi went down for a day, it was a nightmare lol.
