You got used to warm water. As a kid in the '90s, I remember the adults that were into fitness would carry old gatorade or soda bottles and just fill them up with tap water. If you were fancy, you'd carry a bicycle style water bottle.
Lead and asbestos everywhere, not to mention all the shit in the water because shockingly, and against popular belief, the boomers didnt actually have it that good. Sure, they had more options because there was far fewer people. But no one was bothering their arse to look at things like work safety or environmental health. No, the boomers would have to take on that fight themselves, to make the work place and the general planet better for the generations that followed.
People always chalk it up to smoking, which definitely contributes massively to premature aging of skin
But I feel like Carpenter is an exception in a way.
That man was born with a cigarette in his mouth at the ripe age of 80 years old. He's just always kinda looked like that.
...previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world.
So there was only one thing that I could do - was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long.
Just going to say--John Carpenter seems like an awesome dude. He had a run from the late 70s to the early 90s unlike anything most directors ever experienced, and while he was lambasted in his time, history has been fair to his films--plus he's rich. I think, as an artist's life goes, he got the best of it--instead of being well liked in his era and forgotten, he is literally now considered an all-time great, raked in cash, and seems to not like right wing politics. Want more could you want?
To be fair people like Carrie Fisher, RDJ, and Liza Minneli were/are nepo babies...
We just don't call them that because they had incredibly fucked up childhoods. That used to be the deal! Yeah, they had enough fame to be successful but they had so much trauma they were never gonna be happy about it.
Now you got these famous kids who don't have to audition and they've never even done cocaine with their parents!
Grinds do help with the mouthfeel, but the coffee grit taste is polarizing, in my experience. Back when I first quit, seeds and gum did most of the work. I also tried Roon for a bit, which only comes in Cool Mint right now, and it was fine for parking something in the lip.

He just looks old because he was born that way.
