i remember saying "thai hot" and eating a salad with ginger dressing before the event

apparently the word thai is key here (if she would have used words like "10x" or "molten" or "surface of the sun" hot, i would have had a clue)

i thought it was odd, but didn't put two and two together when the food runner (delivering my dish) was suited up like he was handling nuclear waste

and isn't it funny that there's a universal sign language when humans are in food shock/distress from such things

flailing arms, fanning your face (like that's going to help), eyes streaming tears, schnozz opened like a faucet, profuse sweating, etc.

One of my favorite Thai places here, has what I call the random scale. They ask you 1-5 for how hot you want it, they then proceed to make whatever they want and serve it to you.  I've had 5s that didn't even make me reach for the drink, and I've had 1s that I couldn't finish.  I have noted that with the chili oil dishes, they seem to increase in hotness by a level or two when stored in the fridge overnight.  So that 3 you had last night will be a solid 4+ for lunch the next day.

Later I got a 10-band shortwave receiver, and was going to get into ham but I couldn't ever get the hang of morse code (the plug & play set had a key). The receiver was cool but you had to fine-tune it by finding a local ham guy to broadcast a tone at a known frequency etc etc and I never did that so the thing was really hit and miss. Plus we didn't have tall trees in the neighborhood back then so my antenna wire was only about 10 feet off the ground.

But I could pull in Voice of America broadcasts, I think Radio Marti, and other probably pro-Commie propaganda stations with some pretty exotic music. And disco. Lots of Eurodisco.
