Ehhhh im currently driving a Gen 1 Prius (2003) that I bought at auction for $500.

I have less than $2000 in it all-in (everything except fuel and insurance, even oil changes).

I've put about 55k miles on it and it pulls a steady 43-44 mpg

Hysteria over battery issues has turned out to be exactly that


these 22 year old batteries are fine. Being used (within the design tolerance) keeps them fresh.

And it just links to a Twitter post as far as I can tell

Hemlock Society recommends an oven roaster bag (like for turkeys) and a bottle of inert gas (usually helium is easiest to get) and just flow enough in to keep the inert atmosphere in the bag "fresh"

Also, there is 'gas stunning' which is used in Europe for slaughter. There are some practices that use CO2 for this, but at a nearly 100% level it is pretty instantaneous, much like HS2 -- which you can't even smell at high concentration, because you're dead already.

Point, there is some state of the art around using gas to kill; it's not a brand new concept.

So,.like


was this guy in a relatively large volume chamber/booth and they just trickled the N2 gas in?

If there was enough volume, it could take a long time for the O2 levels to get low enough for him to pass out... BUT does a human body produce enough CO2 to fill that space to the point of triggering the suffocation response? Seems unlikely...

OR did they just strap a rebreather mask to his face and turn on a few l/min?

Were any specifics about the actual setup published?

But -- nitrous (N2O) is more fun and has just as little usable oxygen -- zero

For easy access to an inert gas at-home, try a helium tank from the Party Store

ikr!

I only recently found the reddit community, and the whole aesthetic and vibe is pretty excellent

On reddit I'm lurker with a couple 14yr accounts, never created a sub.

Hopefully IF the mods of the reddit sub want to, they will find this place and can mod/join/use what we've started here.
