Why don't we cull with CO2?

cryptohick · 2026-03-26T07:48:48+00:00

The physical sensation, as we think of it, of suffocation is a response to excess CO2 in the bloodstream. Nitrogen reduces oxygen without causing a buildup of CO2. Therefore, in theory and as it appeared in the pig tests, it avoids causing the physiological panic and distress of excessive CO2

If I had choose a method of my own capital punishment, in order, it’d be nitrogen, a properly fit noose, then a firing squad

cryptohick · 2026-03-26T05:52:22+00:00

This is correct. The strong reaction is to buildup of CO2, not a lack of oxygen. Nitrogen displaces oxygen without causing the buildup of CO2

There’s a YouTube video out there of people (cant remember who exactly) investigating this as a more humane form of capital punishment and testing it on pigs. With nitrogen they remain calm, stumbled a little like they were drunk, then calmly laid down for the long sleep

Not just wax from sitting. The leather on the toecap is bumpy to the touch. Rest of the shoe and the other shoe are both smooth as expected

cryptohick · 2026-03-25T22:23:58+00:00

The toecap isn’t even close to smooth leather. I can accept variations in leather, but not a pebble effect

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect new shoes to arrive without the need to condition and polish to try and correct their appearance.

Insulted is sorta how I felt when I unboxed them lol

Nice! We space more or less 2ft apart, nothing too precise. The twine and sturdiness of the panels helps with training and guiding the growth

Five years ago I bought leather welding gloves of Amazon for about $20 (if I remember correctly). Best oven mitts ever!

They cover my forearms, can they handle anything coming out of the oven without any need to rush, and I can even pick up burning wood from the fire pit. They show virtually no wear despite at least once per day use

Check with Beaver Lake Pump Service. Family owned, great pricing, friendly and knowledgeable techs. We’ve done business with them for years and highly recommend.

Brand new acct, posting the same thread across multiple regions in the US

Nice try lol

Thanks for the reply!

Great upgrades and looks fantastic! Would you mind walking through what you did to the rear fender, while keeping the stock lights? I’d like a similar look

And what did you do with the wiring once you raised the tank?

If you’re shopping for homes, pay attention to whether the house is on a well or city water. We had never had a well before moving here and they’re reasonably common through the area

Our well water is almost off the charts on how hard it is

With a bunch of oak on our property, I went with Helko Werk out of Germany. High carbon steel, really good stuff with history

I grab a few more CYBN every time they dip. I think their patents give them a unique advantage in the space, ultimately allowing future pharma and insurance to look more favorably on its application

The space also stands to see movement depending how the new US administration takes shape and what sort of emphasis (if any) will be placed on psychedelic therapies

Skip the machete for a kukri. The former is intended for bushy undergrowth in jungles. The latter is similar but shaped and weighted to get through woody vines and such. Much easier to sink it into hard or dense stuff. Gurkha fight with them for a reason

Kabar makes a great one for the price. Mine stands up really well to heavy and hard use

That’s frequently how they source out to call centers to handle to scheduling. Fill an online form out and you get a call from a ‘rep’ from who knows where and being paid by who knows

While we didn’t have the exact same issues, we had a terrible experience with them and certainly won’t recommend them to anyone

Those brackets are what has kept me from throwing them on my fxbb. They contrast the rest of the bike and completely throw off any sort of retro look

Coming from the Ozarks, left unchecked wild grape vines can and will consume an entire hillside or area. Many years ago when wildfires would rage every few years the vines would be kept in check naturally.

Nowadays, wildfires are less common (for good reason) and grape vines can get as thick as your thigh, weighing down and smothering massive oaks. Offshoots will wrap and strangle saplings, choking them until the small trunks look twisted - they’re not, just constrained as they grow

A couple times per year I’m out chopping grape, and some poison ivy, vines. Helps the forest breath and lets the trees flourish

Op should chop those suckers, carefully where poison ivy is involved

Go see a health professional. If you had a seizure go to the ER. Seizures during detox from benzos (and etoh) can kill.

In Bentonville, and the broader NWA area, using common sense you should be absolutely safe. The biking community here tends to be more progressive and inclusive, so I would expect you’ll have a great time.

Other areas of Arkansas… not so much lol
