  You know they give nitrous to people intentionally during surgery and dental work?

  Like you can wear an O2 monitor while you take a whip it and track your oxygen level and I have never seen it drop below 85% which is the level where they start to get concerned in a hospital

  Taking opiates cause you to just stop breathing and I had to have a breathing device following a surgery because my O2 levels couldn’t be maintained… and people get prescribed opiates and take them at home all the time with no monitoring

  Don’t asphyxiate yourself, don’t do it a bunch of days in a row, and eat some food with B12.

  There are also different standards when you care about the environment. Old school fridges used incredibly bad greenhouse gasses (R22 and R142B) and were significantly less efficient using approximately $250 MORE energy per year than a modern fridge (1750 kWh vs 450kwh) so only factoring in your electricity bill you could buy a $2500 fridge every 10 years and break even and if you got a cheaper fridge like a whirlpool you could get a new one every 5 years for 50 years

  Don’t get me wrong there is still planned obsolescence but a lot of the older designs aren’t as perfect as people like to remember them being

  If your goal is to boil it down to the fundamental levels it’s the ion that’s that cause action potentials that are actually causing thought

  If you want to look at it holistically it’s due to the connections of the dendrites and how those interact with each other

  We have no control of our neurotransmitters and they are only released in response to stimuli from another cell

  If they are such an inexperienced driver or their tires are so unsafe that they can’t even drive half the speed limit they shouldn’t be on the road

  Or the asshole with awd/4wd that doesn’t realize it doesn’t make your car magic and still ends up in a ditch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We say things like "time is money" but really the most valuable thing you have (and which everyone covets) is your attention.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Attention isn’t always good, being followed around by a person who can’t pick up social cues who wants to give you all of their attention doesn’t feel good

  A girl who wants to hang out with her friends being given unwanted attention by men doesn’t feel good

  If I am driving down the road and a cop decides to give me his attention which in the process of, takes away my time and money I am surely going to be upset

  Time matters because it’s a limited resource, someone giving you their time means that they have decided to give some of that limited resources to you. It doesn’t always need to be in the form of attention, if I hire a maid and they save me 2 hours of time I don’t need them to sit there and give me attention

  Those neurotransmitters just release electrical impulses so if you want to break it down everything about humans reduces down to electricity traveling through out meat

  www.freon.com/en/…/residential-refrigeration

  R134 was the “safe” refrigerant to replace R-12 because R12 is 11000x more potent of a ghg than co2

  There are some new refrigeration units that use R600 but the vast majority of refrigerators are still R134

  R600 being a highly flammable gas (it’s butane) has slowed its rollout a lot. Hence why a solid state non volatile refrigerant is still a cool development

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Old school refrigerants were absolutely horrendous ghg even modern ones are pretty bad with R134 being 1430x worse of a ghg than CO2

  If we can reduce that, that’s good! And metals like titanium are recyclable so yes initially extracting them is bad but the full lifecycle isn’t as terrible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The price of specific items has doubled

  Rent, which has outpaced inflation had a national average of $1149 in 2019 and was $1650 in 2025 in order for average rent to have doubled you have to go all the way back to 2007ish

  Instead of tracking a burrito, track how much 1lb of chicken cost or bananas or broccoli

  Because you don’t want it to sour, you are comfortable. If I have a carton of milk in the fridge and it sours so I have to throw it out I am not happy that I avoided drinking sour milk but upset that I no longer have milk and now I need to go to the store to get more or live without

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ending a relationship during the dating phase is a positive outcome.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I strongly disagree with the point the people don’t marry on the first date as a compatibility test

  People go out for just casual fun with no intent of ever marrying and sometimes with no intent of ever exceeding a casual relationship

  So if the relationship is the “final product” it can still absolutely suck if it’s taken away

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kissing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like how some people can get turned on from a foot massage and other people don’t like it when you touch their feet.

  For some people the lips aren’t erogenous zones but there are still plenty of other areas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are claiming a weight of 400Wh/kg so the extra weight should be at least another 70lbs if it didn’t require any extra bracing which it probably does that while it may not be a lot for a 3000lb car it is sizeable for a 400lb bike

  it’s a lot worse than other EV makers misleading claims, because 12mph is literally a joke of a speed to test at considering that’s slower than a cyclist on a non motorized bike and it is not even considering a fast speed to run at.

  A still misleading but at least defendable claim would be if they did one at 25mph and called that their city range but 12mph is just an insulting claim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding the extra weight of the battery will reduce the range but more importantly going 12mph is not a way of rating a street legal vehicle… it’s like bragging about a laptop having a 30 day battery life when it’s in standby. Drag is a function of velocity squared which means that going at even 45mph you are experiencing 14x the drag and at 60mph it’s 25x the drag

  The DOE doing it is already financially accounted for and there is a professional staff that are trained on how to do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Weapons grade uranium is so expensive and energy intensive to make that I can’t imagine they would ever pay for it and the fuel is at end of life so would need refueling soon.

  The navy likely puts a safety margin on the fuel so there is probably some life left in the fuel but I would be very surprised if it lasted more than a year or two which is where I am confused on how this would work

  How would they start considering how expensive it is and with the additive?

  Like nitrous canisters are decently cheap

  I wrote a school report about iter back in middle school or high school when it was still in the design process and still occasionally check their job listings because I would love to work there and on fusion but we still don’t know if it will ever work like we hit the scientific breakeven with inertial confinement but the scaling on that is terrible and I don’t believe we hit even the scientific breakeven with magnetic confinement

  Then we still need to harness the energy from that turn it into work, turn that into electricity and distribute it with enough excess to pay for the whole system which is still a lot of hurdles we need to climb

  Is there a name for the law that I could search?

  Like that would make sense if the construction of the building was different but if it’s simply just how often you can spend time on your own land that’s ridiculous

  A car weighs 2000-4000lbs and can be produced in a mostly automated factory

  A reasonable sized house still weighs 50-100k lbs that’s a lot more material and you have the land it is built on. It then takes multiple people days to build.

  Houses being as affordable as cars is a pipe dream
