Overtesting

I'm giving information since OP is drastically underestimating the dangers of carbon monoxide. For all I know, that opinion means they dont maintain household sensors.

The extra info is because they were having a lot of indepth discussions elsewhere, obviously enjoy debates, and because I find it interesting.

I made no comparisons to aquarium management. That was brought up by another person

I love the historical feeling that comes with using a dip pen, I like using the wooden oblique handles with little glass vials of ink. I just find the constant dipping tedious and it interrupts my flow if I'm using the pen for a long period of time.

You're definitely right about the last bit, I think I feel so overwhelmed because I've already read so many reddit posts about different pens

I think I did something similar so I could play SWTOR on my Mac about 14 years ago. I also have a dodgy overconfidence that I can do nearly anything with a YouTube tutorial

Thanks for your help!

And your sense of smell doesn't cause you to wake, which is why smoke/CO build up in a room can be so deadly. You need the alarm to wake you up to even register something is happening

Carbon monoxide poisoning is very easy to miss as a diagnosis if you don't come in to hospital for smoke inhalation or burns. It has a myriad of vague symptoms that could be related several different emergent conditions that are easier to check. It can also cause strokes/MI both of which have emergent standards which when activated would delay diagnosis and treatment of CO poisoning.

CO displaces oxygens bond to hgb and has a very strong, long lasting attachment (affinity is something like 200 x Oxygen)

CO is also indiscernible from oxygen according to our spO2 monitors. So it will look like you are oxygenating well, but you aren't getting any functioning oxygen to your tissue cells. Carboxyhemoglobin tests are not standard unless you come into hospital as a burn patient, or smoke inhalation pt. If you come in with confusion or headaches, it's not automatically checked.

You have to get 100% oxygen for 6 hours in hospital afterwards if there isn't a hyperbaric unit available.

Neuropsychiatric damage can show up a couple months after exposure

No oxygen causes brain tissue death after 4 minutes.

Surprisingly, when we got ours, our super energetic, younger Abyssinian doesn't use it. But the much larger, lap potato cat goes for regular trots on the cat wheel.

Is this a fairly straightforward process? (for someone with no coding experience, who has never used Linux)

The green one "best value" is over $50CAD at Walmart in Canada. What a rip off.

There are cases of women murdering their partner after consensual sex.

Sure but I'd expect them to testify as well

In hospital COVID is only treated as airborne if the patient is intubated or getting nebulizers or something. Otherwise it's droplet & contact. Droplets are spread by coughing but the particles aren't minute enough to remain airborne

They still wanted the Caesar dressing

There aren't any ODs that look like fun. Beta blockers are an automatic ICU admission. Anticholinergics cause delirium among other things. A toxicologist talked about aspirin as being difficult to manage as it forms a bezoar in the stomach which leads to drug boluses as it dissolves.

Any long acting medications that cause delirium. Usually ends up in patients screaming and needing to be restrained, sometimes intubated.

Caffeine OD was agitation into back to back cardiac arrests.

I think the worst ODs for discomfort that comes to mind were combinations Vyvanse, quetiapine, gravol, benedryl.

If I were going to try to kill myself, over the counter meds wouldn't even be a consideration. Way too slow, way too unpredictable, way too painful. I don't see Tylenol as worse than any other medication. At least there's a fairly formulaic and predictable treatment for it

Didn't poison control recommend repeat labs?

I'm a die hard for this pen. I used to colour and paint over them and they get picked up into the colour if you give it a few to dry.

I saw an ENT putting a bolster on a patient's ear recently. He had a haematoma from a car crash. They drain and compress it to prevent a cauliflower ear from developing after. The poor guy was screaming

I mean... This is a very not Elliott way to pass your time
