I have never eaten uncrustables. Seems like a PB&J, but worse given that the bread isn’t fresh. Given that these treats seem to have achieved cult status among some, should I try them?
We tried them a few years ago, I’d much rather just have a fresh sandwich. But it’s like $5 to try a box so I say go for it.

@The_Polymath Are Brits as obsessed with marmite as some say?
It’s a love/hate relationship. No real middle ground. I am not a fan because I find it too salty. The ones that like it have been eating it from a very young age so they got used to the taste.
In the UK, people also use the adjective “marmitey” to describe a situation that is polarising (love/hate) as well.
The non-freshness of the bread is less terrible than you might guess if you follow their timeline for thawing. I mean it’s comparable to bread that’s a couple of days old but has been stored well. And of course the lack of crust is popular with many.
For me it’s mainly a convenience factor. I’m running late, Mini Me needs a packed lunch, pull it out of the freezer and throw it in the bag.

Use them to make stuffed French Toast.
Marmite isn’t bad. I like it, a tiny bit spread on some buttery toast. And I didn’t try it until I was in my 20’s.
what happens to the person who puked and passed out on my plane yesterday? do they drag her off and leave her in the connecting city or what?
backstory
I am on the aisle. no one else in my row (2 empty, middle & window). then woman shows up asking to get the window. I said one thing to her and I couldn’t tell what she said. flight attendant 1 comes by, puts her face in the space between my face and the seat in front of me and asks the woman if she’s ok? bc the gate agent said she had “a LOT of alcohol.” “Once we get in the air, at altitude, it’s hard if you are not sober or feeling good.” Passenger stares ahead motionless. FA1 repeats the spiel and says “last chance, doors are closing. Are you sure you’ll be ok” Passenger grunts an affirmative.
doors close. FA2 briskly walks to my row, extends an iphone towards passenger and asks “is this your phone?” of course it was. the contempt in FA2’s voice was big.
passenger now snuggles in. sort of slides down in chair. i look over and they are breathing into a sick bag. 30 seconds later she asks to exit the row, I oblige knowing it isn’t allowed yet but that’s not my job. she heads back towards the lav. Announcement to take seats until we hit 1000 feet. etc.
Passenger has not returned to our row.
i get up to use the lav 2 hrs later. 8 rows back I step over the paper towels on the ground. I had noted a chemical cleaning smell at some point. passenger is passed out in that row, head on arm rest closest to the paper towels. colleague on flight said when they went back to lav at 60 minutes in, paper towels had not yet covered the mess.
we land (after I was asked to secure all the passenger’s carry ons under seat or in seat back). I pile their stuff up (purse, phone, book, charger, pillow, blanket, crazy heavy backpack) so it would be easier for anyone else to scoop up and leave.
did that person make their connection? do they get allowed on their next scheduled flight on that airline?
much relief that i did not get puked on

Probably the captain called for an ambulance before they landed and once the other passengers deplaned they probably took her to the ER where they’ll do essentially nothing and release her with a huge bill that her insurance will mostly cover. By that point she’s probably missed her connection.
That’s my educated guess. Different airline personnel will handle it differently most likely. It’s not illegal to throw up on an airplane though, so I doubt she has any legal issues. Whether she has to pay for a new ticket to get from the hub to her destination probably depends on whether she makes it back to the airport the same day or not and how exactly she paid for her ticket. If she made it back later that day they might just rebook her for free. Next day it’s a whole new ticket. Again… that’s my guess.
Wow… So if you’re totally hammered, they will still let you on the plane? Do you have to be drunk and belligerent to be denied entry/kicked off?

Are crickets real? I mean I hear them all the time but I have never seen one.

In my area of the country, we have a lot of tree frogs. You can hear them nightly. They stop singing when you get close to them. They are extremely difficult to spot, as they are small and perfectly camouflaged. I have seen them very rarely despite them being everywhere. I think most of the ones near me are grey tree frogs.
Police are describing a local person as “critically missing”. WTF does critically missing mean?
