You're right, but scoville units are an absolute measurement of the concentration of capsaicin. In order to have something be 14 million scoville units it would have to be comprised of 87.5% capsaicin. 16 million scoville units is the measurement of pure capsaicin. It's simple math.

They are totally going to sue for the ability to post the tenets next to the ten commandments.

Hail Satan!

Alas, forsooth, many Scholars who embrace the cause of Palestine now find themselves in dire straits. Prithee, how can one believe that the scholars who formerly had employment, now have none?

An AI Shakespeare rewrite at least makes it interesting

Capsaicin is a crystalline structure. Pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville units, and is a crystal. I highly doubt there's any food that anyone is eating that is 14 million scoville units per bite. That would require 87.5% of the food to be crystalline.

That's still misleading. He died of a heart defect exacerbated by high capsaicin consumption.

Any high stress event could have exacerbated the heart defect.

I've been getting those stomach pains lately trying to pursue the amount of heat I like in my food. I finally decided I just needed to take a break from spicy food to reset my tolerance.

Though, I was watching the series Superhot, and it seems that the stomach pains are pretty commonly associated with eating a lot of those types of super hot foods. So, I'm guessing it's just from the sheer amount of capsaicin on those chips. It's pretty much just capsaicin extract at that point.

You build a tolerance to the heat as you eat more and more spicy food.

After a certain level of heat there is no more flavor, just spice...

Again, your tolerance is what dictates the accuracy of this statement. I think Paqui chips taste terrible, the spice level has nothing to do with it. But, as the other commenter mentioned, you pursue this level of heat because you enjoy the rush it gives you. If you can handle the spice of super hot foods, you either need a ton of peppers (which just makes your good taste like peppers), or you need something insanely hot to add, so you can maintain the food's good flavor, while also having a satisfying level of heat.

The draw is the rush.

Thanks for letting me know! I really wanted to look at the UI when I realized what I was looking at, at the park, but I didn't want to bother the employee. I appreciate that I got to see it in that video now

That, or the ability to spoof it

There are non-solder options available here: https://typeractive.xyz/

I just got the 5 column Corne keyboard kit

That is definitely your Windows bias haunting you. Package managers are the way to get software on your Linux distro. Going straight to the source has it's place, but for 95% of use cases, you should be using your package manager.

One of the beautiful things about Linux is it's versatility. Many people want to use their hardware for things other than gaming. For instance, I saw a Steam Deck at Disneyland being used to operate "autonomous" robots in Star Wars Land.

For me, I have been doing the vast majority of my gaming on my Steam Deck ever since I got it, however, recently, I was wanting to do some programming work while I was out and about, and was running into a lot of road blocks trying to do it on my Steam Deck. They can be overcome, but I found myself thinking about how much easier it would be to do my work on it, if it had a different distribution installed.

The Steam Deck is a consumer appliance, and as such has reasonable safeguards in place to protect users from themselves. Some users want to go beyond what's available out of the box, and I imagine that freedom is what motivates most people to put other operating systems on their device.

I bought this book when I was taking calc based physics. I never thought I would laugh so much at a math book! Educational and hilarious!

Math is hard

Different design paradigms. In 1969, they had one shot to get everything right, and prepared accordingly (not to mention, they had a massive budget since the space race was all part of the cold war).

SpaceX is taking a different approach, fail fast and cheap. They are taking an iterative approach that allows them to learn from previous failures, rather than anticipating what all those failures could be and then over engineering the rocket to prevent that.

They are different approaches, and each has their own pros and cons. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sorry Americans...

Federation delays be like that

Still much easier than setting up "smart" tech.

That's really on a person by person basis. I'm a software engineer, and have already automated a lot of aspects of my life, so adding another device and a new automation took me like 10 minutes to setup.

You underestimate the strength of my ADHD. Automation keeps me from having to rely on ol' unreliable
