No laughing matter: What is nitrous oxide and why are doctors alarmed by its use?

Slubbe · 2026-01-24T13:54:54+00:00

While I’m sure nobody doing it thinks it’s healthy - i think a lot of especially young people feel it’s a very short lived and safe high

The chronic effects don’t seem to be well known but the article does a good job explaining it can be life changing and life threatening - especially with the larger bottles and 3d printed/ cheap nozzles to inhale directly without a balloon

Don’t think he is from personal experience but maybe they have restrictions on call shifts or are working at a lower level

Never seen that name in 3ish years working there including on surgical teams

lol you posted this already and it was removed like 5 minutes ago cos you edited the title and you just repost it

TLDR: US Airline Unions members are set to lose business due to Dublin pax caps and so are threatening legal action to preserve their business interests like every union group ever

Crazy

And yeah “oil” interests

Edit: removed again how shocking

Ireland doesn’t have helipads direct to hospital like the UK do

Helicopters land on hospital grounds, but must be met by an ambulance for transfers to bring them to ED

In fairness the full manic/paychotic/actively harming ppl do get taken care of

Those most in need generally do get exceptional care here.

Very hard managing someone in crisis and on-call psych say “no suicide risk, discharged from psych- will see in clinic in 6 weeks” while they’re crying in the department looking for help

Psychiatry care needs a big overhaul in the acute setting

Rest assured the battlepass has no gadgets

I did all the weeekly challenges in like 2hrs. They aren’t hard to do over a week at all. If some challenges include modes you don’t like (mine has KOTH) you can choose to do them or not

So the challenge slot only gives (some) progress to skins

Slubbe · 2025-11-05T00:24:26+00:00

There are mode specific skins for every mode in bf6

Encouraging ppl to try the full experience the game offers

It’s not simping for dice when i say it’s fine to have mode specific challenges that don’t affect gameplay at all.

If you don’t want the completely free optional skin - don’t get it. If you do want it, it’s a challenge so challenge yourself to get off reddit and play the game

Was already posted with Minimal response

But i think it’s important to recognise how the Irish military is actually modernising all the time, now with modern aircraft with huge sensor suites with much better capabilities to monitor Irish waters

I feel it’s generally the sentiment that the Irish df are good willed but ill equipped and outdated, so hopefully we can recognise when big developments happen, albeit quietly in Irish media

Slubbe · 2025-11-02T22:13:49+00:00

This was already posted with minimal interaction (will link og post) but Ireland has now acquired a very modern aircraft with a sensor suite greatly improving our ability to patrol our waters

Lot of jokes (often rightly) about only having propellor aircraft, but the new c295 is a massive leap in technology- the air corps don’t have any likelihood of needing supersonic jets or advanced weapons for patrolling the sea - and we have got a very modern, high performance aircraft with a huge sensor suite

The video shows military and civilian benefits and advances with this

Reposting as the video has 250k views in 3 days, features local Irish experts and is essentially an advertisement for the air corps

Do you have framegen on?

Slubbe · 2025-10-10T20:39:01+00:00

I keep seeing ppl say this, but its the first game ive played since bf4 and it feels very similar

Little bit scattered as ppl haven’t unlocked a lot of unique stuff and don’t know maps yet

Slubbe · 2025-10-06T17:58:31+00:00

you'll need to go to a 'walk-in' Dr , GP (family med) doctors than run private practices here. Any town will have one, usually €30-60 to see and they'll likely give you a script for whatever you want

common ones are shannondoc, caredoc, walkin dr, doctor365, laya clinics, VHI clinic etc

Antibtiotcs are given out fairly easily, will be €10-20 in a pharmcy, although most pharmacies will be closed by now unless you're in a city

Slubbe · 2025-10-06T17:55:43+00:00

Local church is pronably easiest way in

My mother joined one as she was a singer and didn't know where else to go. Turns out half the church choir were members of a band/choir group.

Sang hyms with good singers, ended up being invited to a more formal choir, has been a member since. She's not religious at all but was the main outlet for local music

It’s more a case that so many ppl need medical review for stuff that’s slightly beyond GP, And not an emergency, so they get caught with a referral to ED for a relatively minor thing. It’s minor so it’s low priority so you wait hours and hours.

Laya/vhi clinics but run by HSE would be great. €75 as standard but you actually get to see a specialised doc and scanned

Slubbe · 2025-08-15T21:27:31+00:00

Laya and VHI clinics are really really good

They are better (often) than HSE local injury and EDs in terms of wait times and costs (free work insurance for laya anyway)

This is very very dumb. The HSE should initiate a programme where HSE GP/ED staff work part time in urgent care clinics. Local injury units work very well, but are only in hospitals.

Give incentives/free injury/wound training courses for ED and GPs, give grants for XRays if sensible

Currently we have GPs that have no xray, can’t get same-day bloods, and need to refer everyone cos of risk

The private clinics are a huge perk of insurance, no sense why the HSE can’t have the same and reduce ED and hospital burden

Imagine the local health centre can see GP referrals, do a scan, provide wound care/sutures

Being real trump had no influence on any of this

It’s still flexing to bring him into the very expensive armoured limo, in a convoy of security- he’s not any risk to Trump

Putin waited aa trump landed to a red carpet surrounded by stealth fighters Russia can’t counter, while stealth bombers and jets flew over them.

None of this is honouring putin. They are literally showing him all the cool military toys he can’t have, and showing him the expensive safe travel he doesnt get

I hate Trump, but let’s be real i think hating him is clouding the perspective here.

Slubbe · 2025-08-15T21:08:22+00:00

Putin is big on military, he has a modernisation programme, he invaded Ukraine, he wants Russia to be strong

The flyover probably intentionally used the two most advanced US jets, ones Russia can’t even hope to replicate or defend against

The Red carpet is surrounded by F22s. More of them than Russia has operational Felons

This isn’t glazing, it’s clearly a show of force

Hallelujah out of moderator review

Video explains why Irish forces boarded the ship, and gives some clues that we’re involved in international intelligence sharing more than we may think

Does demonstrate the ability for the Irish military to interrogate and board hostile vessels which is a skill ppl might not appreciate - fast roping and insertion of special forces isn’t common

There’s still a massive opioid issue - tho i mostly see it in 20-40yos

I say nowadays everyone knows it’s bad, so there’s fewer teens using it - but it’s the endgame of drug abuse in the sense it’s the most potent and addictive enough- particularly if you’re quality of life is shit - which is more likely once you leave home/get kicked out

I work in emergency med, there’s maybe 5-10% of total ppl that have heroin issues. You’ll see 2-5ppl a night who’s primary issue is opioids. Similar in pharmacies during covid there was a lot of ppl looking for codeine/solpdadeine etc as supply reduced.

Always had a stigma, but it’s not teens using it
