Obviously, "Songs you hate but sing anyway" will be the week I start the worst Arctic Monkeys album.

The Nat Scale
Note: This scale excludes things that can be perceived as spicy but produce a different chemical reaction due to Allyl Isothiocyanate, piperine, or other compounds other than Capsaicin. Capsaicin is an easier and more predictable measure. Things like horseradish or ginger, for example, produce an entirely different reaction and are therefore not comparable to Capsaicin based spices.
| # | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | No perceptable spice | Mild or medium salsa, Kettle-brand Pepperoncini chips, Buffalo sauce, Cayenne pepper, Chili powder, |
| 1 | Takes active attention to notice | "Hot" salsa, Sriracha, |
| 2 | Easily notable but not uncomfortable | |
| 2.5 | Enjoyable | |
| 3 | Mildly uncomfortable but bearable | Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper Tortilla Chips |
| 4 | Uncomfortable but offsetable by other factors | The Last Dab Hot Sauce, Suicide Wings (the kind you need to sign a waiver to eat) |
| 4.5 | Uncomfortable, produced tears, would still eat again | The "make it how you would make it" Thai food I asked for in the food court in Chinook mall one time |
| 5 | Would not choose to eat, a challenge | An entire scotch bonnet pepper, The One Chip Challenge |
| 6 | Unbearable, impossible, could not eat | Straight up Capsaicin |

I should do this sometime, but so far everything's fine for me in Google-land sans RCS since I chat over SMS with so few people.
Much like true blacks over in T311, this was a matter for config.txt, namely commenting out dtparam=audio=on, so it now in total looks like:
Well, I'll deal with this later, it's #Freezerburn time ;)

Wait, did I already run into this and find a workaround in T137: Pi 3b HDMI out doesn't do pure black, goes grey instead? Yes, I did! Phew!

Success, perhaps! New modem took a few tries to find non-packetlossy frequencies but now seems fine?
Got a new modem, the CBN CD8000. Now following https://help.teksavvy.com/teksavvy-faq/post/update-your-hardware-with-mysavvy-zcEJYLC0x7hpQvB

mpv seems nicest to actually control in some ways:
