Which bullshit? Trying to have a discussion?

guns will always result in more mass shootings

Then why aren’t there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

Absolutely. I just think that it’s silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.

Lots of talk about them allowing guns, as if that’s what caused this, but let’s look at the big picture…

I used my Litter Robot for about 6 months, and ended up selling it because:

• It still has to be cleaned. Once a month you are supposed to disassemble and clean the various parts. I found this experience to be pretty nasty. Definitely worse than scooping a box.
• I have a Maine Coon, and she ended up with dirty litter in her fur all of the time.
  Edit:
• The drawer is small and has to be emptied often if you have multiple cats. I get that you’re still supposed to have multiple boxes available, but that thing cost exponentially more than other litter boxes, so it’s hard not to see it as an attempt at an all-in-one solution.

Sure would.

This would be a lovely take, if there weren’t so many other people running around with guns. Is it cowardly to want to protect yourself from the actual cowards?

I had antelope tacos once. Tasted like taco meat

How’s it going? You find any buddies?

It’s fucking pathetic that people can’t handle anything without a sarcasm tag these days.

They said that tall people are intimidating, which is absolutely true. As another 6’5" dude, I try to be careful how I walk up on somebody, because it is easy to accidentally scare the shit out of people.

But… the whole reason we are having this discussion is because people are trying to make the process less miserable in their final moments.

So did it feel like you just went to sleep and then woke up?

Glad you did such a terrible job of it!

Captain, in my comment that you just replied to, I quoted them literally saying that they are talking about nitrogen narcosis.

Yes, I did. Read my post.

They said:

Nitrogen narcosis happens to deep sea divers breathing compressed air, this would be straight up hypoxia, aka oxygen deprivation. Here’s what it does to your brain:

Nitrogen narcosis happens because when you are under pressure, like when underwater, gases are more easily dissolved. The nitrogen that is in your body dissolves into your tissues and basically anesthetizes you to death.

Nitrogen asphyxiation, like what we’re talking about here, is when the nitrogen that you breathe displaces the oxygen in your lungs. This causes the oxygen levels in your blood to drop, which is what kills you.

@protist is talking about nitrogen narcosis, which is a completely different thing.

As stated elsewhere, the discomfort that you feel what you’re being suffocated is not from lack of oxygen. It is from build up of carbon dioxide. When you are breathing nitrogen, you can still exhale that carbon dioxide. You don’t get that panicked feeling of needing a breath.

Nitrogen asphyxiation does not equal suffocation. It displaces the oxygen in your lungs. Discomfort from suffocation is from build up of carbon dioxide, not lack of oxygen. For the brief period of time that you are still conscious, you can still exhale that carbon dioxide.
