Not all lactose free milk is equal. Look for ultra-filtered lactose free milk. The extra sweetness is caused by adding an enzyme that breaks down lactose into smaller, simpler sugars, e.g. glucose. Your body is better at tasting these sugars, and so you notice the sweetness more.

Ultra-filtered milk removes the brunt of the lactose before they add the latase enzyme, and thus there will be less simple sugar for your body to notice, resulting in a less-sweet milk.

Oat milk or water won't add the body or depth you're looking for. Depending on the particular beans, roast, and brewing method, milk might enhance the flavor profile. Similar to sugar and salt enhancing cacao. Yes, you lose nuanced notes, but no, that's not a bad thing if the overall profile is improved.

You can also try blending different milks. Maybe you like 90-10 oat/whole milk or 70:30 ultra filtered/macadamia.

Perhaps go to a local shop during a slow period and ask if you can get a cup of coffee black and a flight of alternative milks. Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

I doubt the quick pairing will work, otherwise it should be fine.

How difficult is it to drive on the wrong side of the road?

In my experience it's surprisingly easy. I found the break in routine snaps me out of complacency, making me more alert.

Lemmy Active Users looking good

I have not been paying attention to threads and so I gave it a quick google. It seems that threads is doing just fine, with 130 million monthly users now.

Where should I be looking for the grisly stats?

Sounds like you're anxious, which will lead to a stressful experience no matter where you're seated. Airports tend to be large, crowded, confusing, and loud, with people constantly rushing around.

The best way to improve your travel experience is to find techniques that help relax you as much as possible.

If it's a short haul flight, save yourself some hassle and put the seat selection out of your mind. You can use the time you would be worrying about and changing your seat to improve on ways you self-calm in stressful environments.

If the flight is more than a couple of hours, I'd recommend switching to a window or aisle. The benefit of the aisle seat is you can occasionally stretch your legs in the aisle, and more importantly, you can leave your seat unimpeded. The window gives you something to lean on, as well as cool views, particularly during takeoff and landing. If you're a nervous flyer that might be a negative.

I find it helpful to remember that just because everyone else is in a rush, you don't have to be. You don't have to run to your terminal, you don't have to rush to the front of the boarding line. You don't need to be the first on or off the plane. You can get to the airport a tad early, to give yourself time to walk slowly and rest as you need it.

There's ample staff at just about every airport, if you don't know where to go or what to do, ask them. Same is true on the plane itself, the flight crew is available to assist you.
