Inhaled nitrous oxide is NOT the same chemical at all. Alkly nitrites are formed as a liquid and the vapors are what is inhaled. These are two entirely separate things.

It isn’t even processed in the brain. The NO that is left over after metabolism is moved through smooth muscles, not the brain. Anything that is not absorbed by smooth muscles is excreted after being filtered by the renal system in urine.
The main risk is hypoxia because once a body’s iron is low enough (consumed by the chemical processes) hemoglobin can no longer bind to oxygen. Pretty easy to avoid. Don’t be a twat by huffing endlessly and eat some spinach.
Don’t spread misinformation.

It’s fun until it’s over. Then, poop. I mean, u can rinse your butthole out before you do stuff, but kinda takes the fun out of it. “Babe, hang on, I gotta give my rectum a drink, swish and spit”.

Just here to say that Jay Leno is not funny, never was funny. I have no idea why he is so beloved. I’ve watched his standup, it was genuinely awful. Then again, Jimmy Fallon hosts now, so I guess that show just exists to give low-talent comedians a thing to do where they are beyond filthy rich.
Conan is and always will be the better man.

I was at a bar, good ‘n’ drunk, went to take a piss. Bathroom is small, one urinal, one pot. I’m pissing away and I let a fart slip out, not a big one, just a good booty burp. The guy who’s back in the shitter raising a putrid stink has the balls to say “gesundheit”.
I wish I were that witty.

“Experienced” is a poor term to use when describing nonexistence. You weren’t there, there was no mind, there was no you, thusly there is no memory and even if there were, it would be of nothing.
The notion is more that because you did not exist, you had no mind, no consciousness and thusly there was simply nothing. Not you, not an experience for you to absorb.
it’s a weird concept because there is no way to really describe it that relates to anything we know. We know ONLY of existing. We can’t know of not existing because not existing precludes the ability to be cognizant of it.
It’s one of those things you just have to accept. When we die, we simply cease to exist (unless you believe in an afterlife). The closest thing that I’ve experienced to being aware of non-existence is being put under general anthesia. You are lying there with doctors and nurses peering down at you over their masks, wearing their funny little hats, they tell you to count backward, by the time you get to two and a half, you’re gone. When you do eventually come back around, you just have a big empty spot that you time traveled through. No dreams, no thoughts, no awareness, just nothing.
The only difference with death is the whole not coming back around bit. Of course, since you will not exist, you will not be concerned with that part because you will not be.

Imagine if you got kicked in the nuts and then you stopped existing. You don’t exist, so it can’t hurt and you can’t worry about it what with your non-exisistent mind to not think about it.
Also, you don’t get a choice. You can worry about the sun setting, but that doesn’t stop it. Just try to enjoy the sunshine while you can and learn to be ok with the fact that night will eventually come.
- Comment on If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops? 4 weeks ago:
Assuming we are in the US with this question. We will also have to assume that the driver is skilled and not a clot with two ham fists.
You probably should consider what a police chase will entail and the tactics they will use to stop you to get to a good answer.
Many police chases are stopped with the pursuit vehicle catches up and can PIT the fleeing car. Also, the police can use stop sticks to destroy/flatten tires of a runner. They have radio and multiple units, they will eventually bring a helicopter in if available.
Given that, you have a few requirements. You could go for straight speed. If you go fast enough, they won’t be able to catch up to PIT you. However, you cannot count on having clear room to run. Traffic, pedestrians, obstacles will be in your path at every point, so your car of choice should be fast enough to get away, but it should not be the only means of escape.
Most police cars in the US are Ford Explorers, some Dodge Chargers (though fewer and fewer), and a scatter of other things. You have to anticipate that they will be able to pursue quickly and sustain damage of their own as they will have things like push bars to absorb some impact. Your defense against a PIT is twofold: first, you do everything in your power to stay away using tactics like brake checking to foil their positioning for a push, constant movement and leverage other cars to act as obstacles. The other portion can be weight and suspension. If a cop were to get behind a Corvette and push, the hard suspension would flex little and the rear would be easily pushed given the relative light weight of the car. If you were in something like a lifted 4x4, now you go too far the other way. A push would upset the tall suspension and high center of gravity and could well end in a rollover even if not a successful PIT. You need the middle ground; something like a non-lifted full sized truck or SUV. Think Silverado or Tahoe. Enough weigh that the cop would have to go really hard at you to get the weight shifted, enough suspension travel that it would lean into a push, but not tip over as easily as something tall.
The big dogs won’t be able to move quite as fast as something zippier, but there is a practical limit to how much speed you really need. Rapid acceleration won’t really solve a lot of problems, your pursuers will eventually catch up once you hit a traffic tangle or obstacle. Being able to go around a corner fast is good, but is it enough to get you away? Being small also means more vulnerable and also a smaller fuel carrying capacity. You don’t want to run out of gas, that would be embarrassing. A full sized truck/suv will also blend in better if you were able to escape the sightline and that really is going to be important.
If you think you’re going to run and run, you’re eventually just going to get more units looking out for you, more pursuers and worst of all, a helicopter that you will not be outrunning. Your objective with the chosen vehicle would be to escape line of sight and then hide in plain sight. Take your truck/suv and park at a Home Depot or Lowes. If you are really wily, find something that’s reasonably similar and swap license plates with it. Go in, buy some lumber, throw it in and leave like you’re in no hurry.
The other option is to find a parking garage, dip in and leave. Assuming the vehicle is not registered to you or traceable back to you, you’re golden. In fact, put a small motorcycle in the back of the truck. Park in garage, leave on motorcycle or scooter at a modest pace.

Graphene in it’s early days supported some non-google phones. The reason they went with Pixels is because it has better hardware and an open bootloader. Nothing to do with supporting google, just the path of least resistance.

- Comment on A handy reference guide for you 4 weeks ago:
When I was a teenager, I grew up in the country so we had wasps everywhere. I hated them. One morning in the summer I was dead asleep–until I was awakened by a wasp that stung me in the fucking neck. So this asshole had to fly into my room decide to land on me, probably crawl around a bit and then decide “Fuck this guy right here NNNNNNG”. I was so goddamn angry and confused. I had to get up and tend to the sting because I swell like a moteherfucker. However, being a lazy teenager, I went back to bed. I woke up about 10 minutes later because I then felt it CRAWLING ON ME AGAIN. I was so fucking furious, I just monkey pounded it into a million little pieces with my fists in the mattress.
Fuck wasps, I spent many years capturing them, holding them with tweezers and slowly cooking them over a candle. Not sorry.

However it just takes a few activist board members who have big time fomo and want to be early in with a virtual CEO.

Lie to employees, absorb money, travel needlessly, tell everyone to RTO when they are never in the office, take a fat bonus, fire people, bullshit the board and stockholders, pull ripcord on golden parachute, lather rinse repeat.
Yeah, i think an ai could handle most of that.

In the end, it won’t matter. Being able to write well will be like riding a horse, calligraphy or tuning a carburetor. They will all become hobbies, a quirky past time of rich people or niche enthusiasts with limited real-world use.
Maybe it is for the best. Most people can’t write for shit (does not help that we often use our goddamn thumbs to do most of it) and we spend countless hours in school trying to get kids to learn.
Science fiction has us just projecting our thoughts to other without the clumsiness of language as the medium. Maybe this is just the first step.

Dear brother/sister rest your mind. You cannot control what will happen and worry/fear will only agitate you.
I don’t like the idea of life being over, but it is inevitable. Seek acceptance and peace with this so you do not waste your precious hours with unnecessary discomfort. There is so much more to enjoy while we are still here!
Loss of life is followed by mourning - except when it is our own. Some spend decades mourning the end of their lives because they are scared of facing it down. You’ve done the big scary part already. Now spend the time taking yourself through all of your fears. Once you come to acceptance it doesn’t change what will be, but it will trouble you a lot less.

You might find some answers in Julian Jaynes The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind.
Short version: consciousness is kind of new. We aren’t really good at it.
Also, Why Buddhism is True by Robert Wright is very good. Less about Buddhism more about how we think and why it works.

The thing is, once youre dead, there won’t be consciousness, you will not have any perception of a void, you won’t know anything because you will not be.
Marc Maron put it into good perspective. He was hiking in the hills and passed out. He noted that he could very well have been dead, and that would have been that.
You can’t be afraid when you dont exist and you will not be aware of anything.
