Last week in Ohio, a school bus had a tire blowout because the pressure was way too low. I used to think all this tire pressure talk was just more nanny state stuff. But seeing those kids scared on the side of the road really got to me. Now I check my tires every other week, and it takes two minutes. So maybe the idea isn't to fine us for dirty cars, but to avoid real danger. I still don't want more laws, but I get why they push for it.

Saw a massive daffodil field that was perfectly healthy too. I mean, maybe the risks are overblown for some seasonal flowers.

But what if you just got a better batch of beans? Sometimes a roaster change lines up with fresher stock, and the acidity was never about your method at all. Maybe your old technique would work fine on these new beans, and the temperature shift is just a coincidence. Could even be your grinder needing a clean.
