I can't help but suspect Mussolini dying from this and remaining neutral during WWII would have been better for Germany, but I may be wrong.

From a different article:

"China has said the missing president of Interpol is under investigation for unspecified violations of Chinese law...The announcement came on Sunday shortly after the wife of Meng Hongwei said her husband sent her an image of a knife before he disappeared during a trip to their native China."

It's loving weird.

"We got sick and tired of people bringing their urine containers,” Patel told the station. “They're just random people walking and it's happening every day.”

He says a woman became aggressive a few months ago when he asked her not to warm urine. She asked to see a sign that says it's not for that purpose. So he made one.

As much as I am against drug tests, sounds like a money making opportunity for the store to sell that info to the drug testing place.

You would think that would be solved with a "we share our security video with the testing facility next door" sign.

But is the extra profit worth more than the money lost from having your store smell even more like stale piss and broken dreams than most gas stations? Details to ponder, sleep on, and perhaps write a paper about.

Because handing in a specimen jar with room temperature piss instead of near body temp piss tends to raise eyebrows at the drug testing place next door.

It's not their piss, it's a clean sample from someone else.
"Piss in this cup, bathroom's there"
"Certainly, here's a cup of room temperature piss"
"You're fired"

vs

"Piss in this cup, bathroom's there"
"Certainly, here's a cup of boiling piss"
"I'd fire you but I'm worried you'll piss lava on me"

I think the pro strat is to have a baggie of clean piss in your drawers so your own body heats it up. Microwaving it seems like it would do... detectable things to the test results but I guess not.

The cup you pee in has a sensor on it that changes color when it's the proper temperature.

I've heard that some athletes have gone so far as to have other people's urine injected down the tube before they test so it'll come out first when they have to give a sample.

The lengths athletes will go to when trying to keep doping is terrifying.

Why microwave when your own body produces heat?

A friend of mine, let's call her T, needed to piss clean for her probation officer. So, she calls, drives over, hands me a condom. Okey dokey, one piss filled balloon coming right up! I mean, most people bring a little jar but whatever.

She comes back two hours later cackling like an idiot. The probation office is up three flights of stairs at the courthouse and by the first landing
the condom started to slip out. Luckily T was wearing skinny jeans but still had to clandestinely adjust herself all the way up. She arrives at the office red-faced and sweating profusely... where they tell her that her mom can just go into the bathroom with her to watch the deed. All that for nothing.

From the "well, duh" files:

'Higher levels of PTSD among veterans', says study

The study actually says that the incidence of PTSD among veterans has increased in the last 10 years.

In a strange way, that's actually good news, since it almost certainly means more vets are getting diagnosed, as opposed to an increase in actual cases.

There's a few different ways they do it. Sometimes it's like those stick on aquarium thermometers on the cup. Sometimes their dip stick has a patch that changes for correct/incorrect temp. There's occasionally like all in one analytical units that you just stick a cup into and it spits out temp and results. The latter two usually come with someone watching you so you can't say "it must have got cold on the counter while washing hands" and they can just grab it and go. Where the aquarium things are much slower to revert to cold.

Because if you don't have a proper wee snifter, it's the only way to bring out the subtle oaky notes of fine gourmet piss.
