peertube is viable
Not at youtube's scale, perhaps, but its usable
stancil is running for some bullshit in minnesota I guess. Aiming low. But yeah if I had to guess his fallback plan after politics is Takes
as people in the replies to Stancil (linked by Parsani below) mention, the CPI adjustment is based on overall inflation, not inflation of restaurant prices specifically, so it's still flawed IMO since I believe restaurant (especially fast food) price inflation significantly outpaces overall inflation.
Stancil is the fucking worst 
might as well eat out while you can, the climate is collapsing, the economy is struggling and constantly appears to be on the brink of recession (and in some sectors layoffs are already sweeping), oh and we're brushing up dangerously close to another pandemic with bird flu. What point is there in pinching pennies when you know you can't win?
not sure I've had a hot paprika
cooking for a group is definitely different. Better to just offer sauces on the side in that case and make it to a lower spice level
lol yeah its pretty good
I don't think I would like the 3x
I have a few theories on that. scoville doesn't directly measure capsaicin, it measures how many times diluted you need to make a concentrated extract of the pepper before the heat is undetectable in sugar-water. So how it applies to sauces is unclear to me. You could take the scoville rating of the underlying peppers, or you could directly dilute the sauce itself, or you could somehow make an extract of the sauce itself and test that.
So maybe that rating is misleading because of ambiguity in how its measured, or the sheer quantity of oily sauce, its not like a little dab of vinegar-based hot sauce, it sticks
never had the 3x. The 2x is pretty damn spicy for a normal person, but not that crazy relative to the sorts of things spice-heads are into for sure, and definitely edible.
Things taste better when you use peppers that have flavor other than "ow"
honestly with you on this one. But I think everyone's perception of where to draw that line will be different. I've had a lot of good ghost pepper based sauces, but I think a lot of people would say that's well into "ow" territory. Habanero is also excellent, and depending how its prepared can be quite spicy.
endorphins are a hell of a drug
but also none of these ramens are 100k scoville. (though people say their perceived spice level is higher than the scoville rating would suggest. maybe because its a large quantity of broth, or because its oily and coats the tongue?)
I definitely go back and forth, some stuff just causes straight pain and I don't like it, but some stuff is really tasty and I will push through to finish it, and then the endorphins after are pretty nice too. There's also some hot sauces that are like, on the edge of being too spicy to use normally but really great when mixed in to a dish. I had one that could give an entire batch of (shitty boxed) mac and cheese a nice, smoky, spicy flavor with like a teaspoon
there's different kinds of brain damage, none of us are his doctor.
But admittedly given this news you might be right
