A few years ago I bought an AnyTone AT-D868UV ham radio. As with any software-managed device, there were a few issues. I wanted a place to keep track of these problems for my own purposes. So I thought "GitHub Issues!"
I added a couple dozen of the problems I'd run into. And then it took a life of its own. Some people thought it was an official AnyTone support channel (despite my disclaimer). That's bound to happen.
The fun part was when people started an issue on how to upgrade a D868UV to a D878UV and get all the new features.
To give you a serious answer in case you were really wondering: nothing. Capsaicin stimulates the sensory receptors used for evaluating temperature and makes them react to temperatures under your body temperature. It tricks your nervous system into thinking the part is burning. It lasts as long as the intermediary protein used to transfer this information is available. When it’s depleted you just feel numb which what happened here. It all goes back to normal once capsaicin has been naturally eliminated by the body and the intermediary protein stocks are restored.

Of course this was kind of an insane project unless you look at it from the point of a ham operator: radio hacking is fun!
Now about the gloves and chili.
Around 1974 I decided to stir fry a very hot dish of chiles and eggplant.
I didn't use gloves or a fume hood or any of those smart precautions.
Midway through the stir fry I noticed my forehead was burning.
But I ate the dish and it was delicious.
The next morning I woke up and my fingers were numb!
I went into survival mode and quickly realized that what I needed to do was eat a lot of yogurt, right then and there.
And it worked. I still have my fingers!
