    guns will always result in more mass shootings

    Then why aren't there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

    Absolutely. I just think that it's silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.

    I used my Litter Robot for about 6 months, and ended up selling it because:

    • It still has to be cleaned. Once a month you are supposed to disassemble and clean the various parts. I found this experience to be pretty nasty. Definitely worse than scooping a box.
    • I have a Maine Coon, and she ended up with dirty litter in her fur all of the time.
      Edit:
    • The drawer is small and has to be emptied often if you have multiple cats. I get that you're still supposed to have multiple boxes available, but that thing cost exponentially more than other litter boxes, so it's hard not to see it as an attempt at an all-in-one solution.

    This would be a lovely take, if there weren't so many other people running around with guns. Is it cowardly to want to protect yourself from the actual cowards?

    Captain, in my comment that you just replied to, I quoted them literally saying that they are talking about nitrogen narcosis.

    Yes, I did. Read my post.

    They said:

    Nitrogen narcosis happens to deep sea divers breathing compressed air, this would be straight up hypoxia, aka oxygen deprivation. Here’s what it does to your brain:

    Nitrogen narcosis happens because when you are under pressure, like when underwater, gases are more easily dissolved. The nitrogen that is in your body dissolves into your tissues and basically anesthetizes you to death.

    Nitrogen asphyxiation, like what we're talking about here, is when the nitrogen that you breathe displaces the oxygen in your lungs. This causes the oxygen levels in your blood to drop, which is what kills you.

    As stated elsewhere, the discomfort that you feel what you're being suffocated is not from lack of oxygen. It is from build up of carbon dioxide. When you are breathing nitrogen, you can still exhale that carbon dioxide. You don't get that panicked feeling of needing a breath.

    Nitrogen asphyxiation does not equal suffocation. It displaces the oxygen in your lungs. Discomfort from suffocation is from build up of carbon dioxide, not lack of oxygen. For the brief period of time that you are still conscious, you can still exhale that carbon dioxide.

    My personal disgust. It's probably not as bad as I think though, in fact I'm hungry right now and it doesn't sound nearly as bad.

    Remind me not to fly whatever airline you're using..

    I think that you have come to the wrong conclusion here. People who can spend first class money are generally less likely to stab somebody just because they're frustrated.

    I have ridiculously long legs, and am uncomfortable every time I fly, but I have never felt the desire to assault anybody over it.

    No, it's quite possible that I am wrong about the terminology. I just thought it was odd to see the same link posted multiple times. I am not a woman, so I would have to leave that question to them. I was just here for the interesting headline.

    From the linked article:

    King, who joined the U.S. Army in January 2021, faced two allegations of assault in South Korea, and eventually pleaded guilty to one instance of assault and destroying public property for damaging a police car during a profanity-laced tirade against Koreans, according to court documents. He was due to face more disciplinary measures when he arrived back in the United States.
