As part of my work I communicate via email to a lot of people who aren't necessarily the best at reading and/or writing. For every ten "Confirmation of enrolment" emails I send, I get at least two replies that ask me to answer a question that is answered in the email I just sent, were they to read it carefully again. I was getting extremely frustrated by this after about three months of it, and I realised I had a choice: Continue to get more and more frustrated until I started effectively lashing out at service users for asking what appears to them to be a simple question, or accept that sometimes people are just going to have the same query whether the answer is presented to them or not. My perception of "Yet another person who hasn't read the email properly" is entirely that - *my* perception. When dealing with people in such a way that you want to at least leave a neutral impression, remaining aware of the difference in my perception to theirs is key. Now I just have a good selection of stock emails to send that answer the most frequent of questions, even if they've already been answered.

The "Escalation of Stupidity" could be severely lessened if KZbin had a more fleshed out and organized comment section. Selecting a comment which then gets clearly and visually distinctly highlighted with an option to refer to it directly (Think quote tweets on Twitter) to make it easier to reply without writing the same stuff over and over. Another option would be a better post-upload video editor. Instead of the current annotation system which is often barely noticeable or turned off because some folks abuse the heck out of it, giving creators the tools for some very basic post-upload edits, like colored banners, text etc. Very basic stuff that can be applied on-the-fly or even better, basic video editing tools. Take an uploaded video and allow creators to splice in new footage. Oh well, a man can dream...

It helped that many of them were treating me as the professional in the situation, and were willing to listen... and in turn, I learned to understand that while I might be hearing similar questions repeatedly, it was more a symptom of "this concept is new and maybe confusing to each user" than "time to bring out the clue-by-four". That attitude of putting myself into the other person's shoes has served me VERY well over the decades since.

As a chilihead, I know a bit about chilis. The pith is the hottest part of the pepper because it produces the oils that coat the inside of the pepper with what makes it hot. It is a big fancy word I can't spell off the top of my head, so sadly, I won't be using it. Pepper seeds are just seeds, they're stem off from the pith so naturally they will be coated in said oil. In longer more seed dense peppers, like the birds eye, the seeds there take up a lot of space and will be covered in a fair bit of the oil. Also, the top part of a chili, towards the stem, will be hotter than the tip. Mainly because of said pith producing oils. And a little fun fact, in reaper peppers and other super hots, if you cut them open you can see the oil on the inside and it is a little shiny. I have even seem some peppers with just thick beautiful layers on the oil on the inside and they just burnt wonderfully. Now I know this is getting long, but thanks for making the video, and pointing out pepper burn on different parts of the mouth. Pepper burn is a bit hard to explain to people who really don't eat stuff, and I just like hearing more facts about peppers spread. The mouth burn thing even carries over to superhots, for example, a reaper will mainly burn and target your throat, while a milder pepper like a habanero just covers the entire tongue in a more stinging type of burn.

As a Brit living in the US I've learned to react gracefully to being asked what is my accent by every new person I meet - of course they're going to ask, and there's no way they could check the comments first. Admittedly I do sometimes get a bit snarky. Them: "What's that accent?" Me: "What language are we speaking?" I've even learned to live with the occasional accusation of being Australian!

Can't wait for pepper season here. Spring is calling my name. There is oil all over the seeds, you should test after swishing them around in a little dish-soap to remove the oils. Have to be very cautious with the super-hots because that invisible oil can get all over without noticing, and can stick around if you don't really scrub your hands well.

People find mimolette scary but I find it's just an incredible chedar when eaten in small bites (so expensive and tasty, one doesn't need a lot). So many cheeses, so little time. Triple cream brie, without the "skin" is so charming and addictive... Comté is fantastic too, so creamy, salty and rich... I could go on and on and on...

There's a cheese from the Haute Savoie region of France called 'reblochon'. The authentic item smells really rather bad, and tastes very good indeed. Blue cheese is an acquired taste for most people, but there's little better than a good Stilton.

I can relate to the frustration of answering the same questions over and again, I've been in a very niche service industry profession for most of my life and it can be overwhelming to answer calmly the exact question I've just answered in a slightly different way. I'm sure you dealt with that in your career in I.T as well but at least in a professional setting you have a reasonable expectation of someone being genuine and not just trolling or behaving negatively just to do so, usually. The hardest part is realizing you have been handling the situation wrong and identifying the solution to fixing that, I respect that you not only did that but publicly and apologized for past behavior. Its an inspiration and honestly that type of personality trait along with your sincerity and genuineness earned my subscription and make me look forward to your videos. Thank you for your content.

We're planning to grow some in our garden this year, and now I actually know what to check before we try using them in recipes so I don't overdo it for the rest of my family - my heat tolerance is significantly higher than anyone else's and I want it to at least be edible by everyone.

I get what you are saying. I am the same way. I even get annoyed with some of your comments. The can opener one is a big one and I had even recently brought it up to you. It's often the way people go about it. Instead of saying hey, did you know you can open a can from the top, a lot of comments do come across like "hey idiot, you're doing it wrong" even though you know good and well they don't know what they are talking about. A lot of them are just regurgitating the info they seen in said video and probably haven't even tried it themselves or they would have seen it makes the top of the can sharp and a lot of us don't like that lol 😁👍

@@ferrumignis I can't disagree with you. I was talking with him recently because I noticed a lot of his old videos he would do funny cutaways when he was eating something because there are people who actually complain when they hear someone chewing food... On food review channels. It's insane. You can't take hearing people chew food? I've seen other channels do it too. If you ever watched steve1989mreinfo he cuts out every time he chews or apologizes for it. He's a food review channel. It takes him a lot more time and effort to cut out the chewing, for something that shouldn't be an issue. If you can't listen to someone chew food, I don't know, maybe don't watch food review channels on the internet if you are that sensitive lol

I struggle with patience at work in the exact same scenario: getting the same questions over and over that I feel ought to be plainly obvious, but it's just the same question from different people. I too have been too sharp in the past and am working at being kinder to those genuine questioners. I also appreciate your acknowledging how there's still no excuse for abuse, too.
