Skip TB. Go support your local Mexican restaurant, and try their pickled onions with habaneros and work up your tolerance to actually spicy food.

There's a venerable French food restaurant in my town, it's been there for something like 80 years and still going strong.
In her old age back in the 1970s and 80s, the founder of the restaurant, trained in the Cordon Bleu culinary tradition, loved going to Taco Bell! Her friends used to scratch their heads and tried to understand, or talk some sense into her:
"But... that doesn't make sense! Cheddar, ground beef, lettuce and cream in tacos... it's not even real Mexican food!",
to which she replied:
"If I want Mexican food, I'll go get Mexican food. But sometimes I just want Taco Bell!", which is to say she craved some tex-mex.

I never really got this.

I'll eat taco bell and be as fine as eating anything else.

Homies just need some damn probiotics or something.

The mere presence of fiber through beans in the typical American diet causes their bowels to enter a state of celebration.

Now I do like some TB, in fact, I could eat it once a day for the rest of my life and never be sick of it.

But it is not "spicy". At all. Unless your idea of spicy is tobasco being on the upper end.

Those who have digestive problems with TB are from a weak bloodline

I don't think anyone who claims to have GI issues after eating Taco Bell claims that it's because it's spicy. Well...aside from OP maybe? I think it's just because it's low quality food that consists almost entirely of meet and cheese. That being said, I don't think I've generally had that issue either.

You mean "meat" and "cheese"

Could be a fondue party? Or a family photo shoot?

No. All manner of meeting. Long lost friends, coworkers at the water cooler, high noon and moonlight duels, anonymous sex, strangers on a train, roadside banditry, love at first sight, street corner begging and door-to-door sales, all distilled down into a yellow-brown paste, stabilized with a bit of gluten and guar gum, and ground up for your burrito. Its why so much of their stuff is vegan.

"cheese food" is a food label that pretend cheese must use instead of cheese. TB may contain "meat food"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

And beans. Americans don't eat a lot of fiber.

RIP Double Decker taco 😢

The picture raises questions. If that is glowing due to heat, then something bad is happening. But maybe it is a bright light in a translucent pipe or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 33 minutes ago

For a couple of days a year the plastic flue above my boiler does this - from the sun hitting it at the perfect angle. (Source: once thought my boiler was about to blow up.)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

Likely a cast iron pipe that has grounded an electrical current. It is in fact, "something bad".

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Looks like a bright orange light is shining from below, but I favour the impossible explanation tbh

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

If it were that, I would expect to see a lot of orange light spill on the ceiling, and a clear shadow of the pipe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Well, there is light and shadows, but you are right: they both would be much stronger, more clear.

Think sunset coming through a window

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I'm going to need you to tell me what kind of pipes you think pipes are made out of....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Those don't look like PVC fittings, so I am guessing it is a metal pipe. The minimal loss of light at the overlapping sections and how it fades makes me think that it is truly incandescent.

Ah, my college days.
