That’s my concern as well. Seeing what happened with the cheap hoverboards and ebikes makes me wary of being too lenient on these.

With everything going on, I’m surprised overdoses are going down. Hell, I’m considering taking up drugs to help deal with it all

Dark Souls randomizer is so much fun

This you?

I saved so much money by cutting the gas, power, and water to my house! Can you believe the scam the previous owners were running by “paying utilities”?

Now I’m doubly disappointed in your teachers.

No need to invade. The US can just tamper with our elections enough to get people in power that’ll just roll over and give them everything

Why isn’t fentanyl on there? Should be right at the top

Charlie Brown up to some wild stuff as an adult

It’s not just two things, it’s multiple things. Daily. It’s absolutely hard to keep up with, and then hard to keep caring when you run out of fucks to give. Most people disengage

Now I know it’s not spelled strick-nine

AKA the Eggshell Skull rule. I also don’t see how it matters since the underlying cause was still the officers use of force.

They also found her guilty of being a witch

Also… there’s a very compelling video suggesting that it wasn’t the bullet that caused his ear to bleed but a collision with the gun holster of a secret service agent when he crouched down for cover.

I’m as skeptical that an actual bullet grazed his ear as the next guy (my money’s on shrapnel of some kind), but he clearly reacts and reaches up to his ear before the SS does their thing so it can’t be from the huddle

We are now spouse and spouse.

As a couple you are spice

Good. We need more of these! Where’s my bare-bones EV for $15k? 150km range or even a bit less, just for around town

That’s a good point. My phone keyboard has the superscript so I used that without thinking too much

Thought experiment:

Put them in a small sealed room with airflow you control. Using a randomly generated number to pick the start time (within some maximum that’s deemed appropriate), you then throttle up the nitrogen and throttle down the oxygen.

The time spent in the room would still be pretty terrifying so I doubt it’d be much better than the mask… Maybe the room is their cell and it’s a randomly chosen day within an execution “week” where you make sure they’re asleep first?

Probably best just to not kill people of course, but if you’re gonna do it, do it the most humane way possible.

My understanding is that we can’t detect oxygen deprivation, but we can detect CO² buildup which is the idea behind nitrogen asphyxiation. Wouldn’t regular suffocation (like, something obstructing your airflow) be quite agonizing then in comparison due to CO² buildup?

Nitrogen asphyxiation should be effective and painless, but not if the person fights it. Which means it’ll be hard to use as an execution method (unless you surprise them with it somehow)
