I was a researcher for around twenty years and almost passed out leaning over an LN2 tank like an idiot looking for my samples once. No pain, just felt some tingling and rapidly fading consciousness. There was still a good amount of oxygen in the room since the alarms never went off. Just glad I started to fall backwards instead of into the tank.

I've also experienced nitrogen narcosis while deep diving, and that actually felt good.

For an AR-15 you can just use an AR Maglock and Kingpin, then it's just a button press to very slightly separate the upper and lower receiver, allowing for magazine ejection. It's almost as fast to change magazines as in other states.

There's also zero chance a criminal would follow these laws. It takes maybe a minute to disable a maglock and swap on whatever stock you want. "Freedom Week" or old 30 round mags are prevalent as well.

A "performance improvement plan." Basically a way for employers to set unrealistic expectations and fire the employee with less risk of a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Although since almost every state has "at will" employment now, it hardly seems necessary.

Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.

The Rafah border crossing is currently closed due to an Israeli air strike. Might reopen tomorrow. Might be bombed again.

The "problem of evil" has been a topic of serious scholarship for millenia. No "theodicy" makes logical sense, but more than just teenagers examine it.

Five years of dictatorship and a permanent end to the republic, with his grand-nephew becoming the next dictator.

I've loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don't like vomiting. Some of us just can't play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can't be zoomed out very far.

Primarily. Also, they seem to be linking cannabis use with homelessness for some reason, and are surprised that diagnoses of mental illnesses are higher in a country where people have universal health care.
