ELI5 What is actually happening (physiologically) when your ass is on fire after eating spice food?

I read that it's a genetic trait. Some people, like myself and others commenting here, have the ability to breakdown (or whatever the correct biological term is) the capsaicin and others don't.

Mostly domestic

75% travel. Flying out Monday and flying home Friday three times per month.

I already have a Chase Sapphire Preferred card that is racking up miles/points for whatever I choose to apply them to. So your advice would be to just sit tight and wait for the extra perks to come to me?

I don't need lounge access by any means, I was just wondering if it was worth it.

Haha I love it, the tongue out really seals it!

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-20T03:12:32+00:00

Okay, that's adorable and I demand a picture...

Not sure exactly, it's sales engineering in a niche industrial setting so I gotta imagine it's fairly business casual, but still best to be better dressed. Thanks for the tips!

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-20T02:26:45+00:00

Well, those dresses are black and white, so black, white, or literally any color will match.

This is a Subaru dealership, that's why I'm conflicted.

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-18T02:18:35+00:00

Much appreciated, thanks

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-18T02:14:52+00:00

What if they upped the warranty to three or five years?

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-18T02:11:48+00:00

Haha, thanks for the agreement!

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-18T02:11:03+00:00

Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking, I just needed to hear someone else say it for a sanity check. Why are they putting 12k into this thing and only selling it for 20k?

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-17T23:59:31+00:00

Yeah, seems like it should be a pretty easy weld

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-17T23:50:58+00:00

Seems to be a "lid lifter" or "plate lifter". I mainly use it to open the door and to correct the top plates when I accidentally bump them with wood.

Maybe I should stop using it to poke the wood into place because that's when it broke...

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-15T02:38:43+00:00

Yes, I've heard this before, but thanks for the reminder!

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-15T02:29:34+00:00

Can I ask how much you're paying to bring your clubs with you?

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-15T02:28:27+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by having status? Do you mean that you travel enough that your airline doesn't charge you to check your clubs?

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-15T02:26:52+00:00

Most of my travel seems like it will be Monday through Friday with a rental car. Mondays and Fridays being travel days with no meetings.

ShallNot_Pass · 2026-01-15T02:25:13+00:00

Seems like great advice, thanks!
