    People use that word wrong. If it’s paid after the service is provided, it’s a tip. If it’s paid before, then it’s a bribe

    What a waste. $15 air compressor for blowing up air beds does a better job, with no pollution

      I’d recommend one of [these](fanttik.com/…/fanttik-b10-pro-electric-air-duster…

      A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.

      You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car

    I hope anyone who does these dusters realizes you can get whip it’s on Amazon for like 20 bucks, then a cracker for a other 20, and then they won’t be absolutely destroying themselves and their lungs. I also hate all the misinformation surrounding nitrous, fucking dentists use it for fucks sake, shits safe as long as you don’t abuse it.

      You literally just explained how to abuse it though…

        Had a minor surgery earlier this year. They have me fentanyl as the drug to put me under. Was hella surprised about it. Also I see why people love that shit so much.

        But also for fentanyl’s danger, I think it comes down to how small a dose you need to hit the LD50/50 point is so low that you can hit it by accident without even trying. Street drugs are also being laced with Fentanyl and not in safe / well regulated doses. If you had a lab grade supplier, it’d probably be safer / easier to do safely…but I don’t think that’s what people are doing…

        I was once given cocaine eye drops in a hospital though (it’s a combined vasoconstrictor and analgesic, which makes it good for facial injuries that tend to hurt and swell/bleed a lot). Just because something can have a clinical use case doesn’t make it safe for anyone to use it regularly.

        Comparing nitrous oxide to fentanyl is actually fucking stupid.

      Don’t even bother with crackers, they suck. Just buy a 1L+ tank and some big balloons from Amazon.

      Also, don’t do it every day, or even every other day. You will fuck up your vitamin B12 reserves and you’ll quickly discover what happens. Having a binge once a week is much better for you than a couple balloons every day.

      I’d also point out ripping nitrous hits out of balloons is most definitely abuse. Ain’t nobody out there using a regulator and metering their nitrous intake like medical usage.

      • Dozzi92@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You’re metering it to one punch balloon every couple minutes! And when you wake up, you have another. It’s self-regulating.

        I would like to say I’m 10+ years out from the days I’d drive down to Bristol PA and pick up two or three 20 pound tanks from some random fire safety place. Definitely abusable, and easily so. We’d pound a 5h energy and Gatorade after and you’re right as rain, which is not good, needs to be harder to feel fine after.

      Only destroying their cerebellum. Who needs it?

      Recreational use of nitrous oxide (N2O) has increased rapidly in recent years and is now the second most commonly used recreational drug among young people in the UK. There has been a corresponding rise in cases of nitrous oxide-induced subacute combined degeneration of the cord (N2O-SACD), a pattern of myeloneuropathy usually associated with severe vitamin B12 deficiency. This can cause serious and permanent disability in young people

        no. doing hundreds of them is.

      finally made a lemmy account just to downvote you. don’t fucking do whippets they can paralyze you for life. I’ve seen it. And dentists use it because they have years of training and understand the risks.

      People doing duster are not usually the same people doing nitrous. In my years of working in a hospital, duster addicts were the worst of the drug addicts mentally and physically.

      Pretty sure what these people are doing is the definition of abuse though.

      Compressed air. Used to clean electronics. You can also use it to get high (which is what is being implied is happening here) with some very serious side effects.

      At that point just buy a a 5lb CO2 tank. That’s what I use in my work van. It’s a bit more expensive upfront but it’ll last longer, it’s refillable, higher pressure, and the cost of refills makes it cheaper per pound of gas. If you want to get really fancy then you also put a regulator on it so you aren’t dusting as 700 PSI but that’s optional. Plenty of my coworkers just tap straight off the tank.

    Fuck I think if I really couldn’t control myself I’d actually rather just do hard drugs, at least they don’t have bitterant and probably have a lower death rate.

    I bought this many recently… I just use them to clean/dry my 3D prints off after a wash so I go through a few every year.

      They also work great for getting PETG prints to release from PEI build plates. Flip the can upside down, spray at the back of the sheet where the print is until it forms a thin layer of frost. Wait until the frost disappears (really you’re waiting for the metal to contract, but you won’t see that), bend the plate, and the part should pop right off.

      …then flee to somewhere better ventilated to escape the cloud of bitterant before you vomit.
